The first solar eclipse of the year will be visible in parts of Australia, eastern Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, the Gilbert Islands, the Hawaiian Islands, eastern Indonesia and the southern Philippines, weather permitting.

In the towns of Sydney and Canberra, the eclipse viewing conditions should be good. "Scattered clouds will cause poor viewing conditions for the towns of Perth, Adelaide and possibly Melbourne," said AccuWeather Meteorologist Erik Pindrock.

"The eclipse begins at sunrise Friday morning local time over the wilderness of western Australia. It then sweeps over the unpopulated Northern Territory and continues across northern Queensland, far to the north of Cairns," said AccuWeather Meteorologist Mark Paquette.

The Watchers - May 9, 2013 - by Chillimanjaro  

On May 9-10, the Moon will pass directly in front of the sun over the South Pacific, producing the first (annular) solar eclipse this year. At greatest eclipse, 95-98% of the sun’s surface will be covered. An annular eclipse occurs when the Moon eclipses the Sun while near apogee. The Moon’s apparent disk is just smaller than the Sun’s disk and the Sun appears as a brilliant ring, so it’s often called a “ring of fire”. An annular eclipse will be visible from a 171 to 225 kilometre-wide track that traverses Australia, eastern Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and the...

A hunk of rock that lies deep under the Atlantic Ocean has scientists wondering if they've found the "Brazilian Atlantis."

 

The Brazilian Geology Service (CPRM), working with scientists from Japan, believe they found evidence of a continent that vanished when South America and Africa drifted apart 100 million years ago, The Telegraph reports.

Tourists walk on the white sand of the Grand Anse Beach, Grenada. The people along this vulnerable stretch of eastern Grenada have been watching the sea eat away at their shoreline in recent decades, a result of destructive practices such as sand mining and a ferocious storm surge made worse by climate change, according to researchers with the U.S.-based Nature Conservancy, who have helped locals map the extent of coastal erosion.

 

TELESCOPE, Grenada — The old coastal road in this fishing village at the eastern edge of Grenada sits under a couple of feet of murky saltwater, which regularly surges past a hastily-erected breakwater of truck tires and bundles of driftwood intended to hold back the Atlantic Ocean.

Gaia Portal May 9

gaia_energy1Steadiness amidst chaotic moments is key to Gaia progression through coming days. Energetics of Gaia, in particular, humanity-general of Gaia, is set for impressive changes. Also may be stated as “changes which impress”, or “changes which create an impression”, upon each individual human consciousness. These changes cannot be avoided or swept aside, as they encompass all of Gaia, all inhabitants, of all kinds.

Each Hue-man has prepared for these moments, and will embody the changes, and rise above the chaos of the moment, when it arises.

Out of chaotic moments, comes Higher Order.

Heaven Letters Published on: May 9, 2013

God said:

Let go of judging everything. Judging is often the same as reprimanding. Judging is often condemnation. It can only be a second-guess. Regardless of the direction judging goes in, whether it is toward oneself or another, judging is a spoilsport.

On the other hand, you will do well not to praise nor to judge. Both are amiss. Appreciate when you appreciate, but go easy with it. Whether self-respect, self-regard, self-esteem, self-pride, or any combination thereof is thought or spoken, the idea of self-worth holds different meanings. Judging likely is justifying your point of view.

Who would have ego when he truly has a strong sense of self? Who would require building up, and who would require tearing anyone else down?
