Mining Chile

Mining Chile



Talk about down under. Deep under the surface of the Earth as we see it from space in the satellite image above, resides more than 30 Chilean miners 700 meters under ground. I certainly hope they succeed in getting those brave workers up on the right side of the surface of the Earth again.

Of course I mean more precisely and actually correct 'The Sun as seen by the light emitted from iron'

All the same, it is a lovely picture of our dear Sun on this day of equal duration of day and night...

GPS Makes Mountain Higher

GPS Makes Mountain Higher



That headline of mine is bullshit of course. :-) GPS measurements are more precise than photogrammetry though, and new measurement of this Welsh mountain manages to 'move' it over the 1000 meter threshold. I would not call it a super mountain though...:-)

Mass Movements

Mass Movements



No, it is not activism or political mass movements we talk about, but the mass that is displaced continuously here on planet Earth. We track it down by using satellites.
