Too many stories showed pictures of total solar eclipses instead of annulars. Confusion abounded as what you'd see from within the path versus elsewhere. At least they all emphasized the danger of looking directly at the Sun.
Does all of this prove that our universe and the laws that govern it arose spontaneously without divine guidance or purpose? No, but it means it is possible. And that possibility need not imply that our own lives are devoid of meaning.
Earth Week started Sunday and there's nothing more powerful than moms doing their part for the Earth.
Working together we can keep our wild lands wild, and our air and water clean. By accomplishing this, we will ensure our children too can enjoy the opportunity provided by the geography of hope -- the great gift of the American West.
If there is a spot on Earth as sacred or as critical to the future of our wild birds as the Gulf of Mexico, it is the unspoiled Arctic. The potential harm from a BP-scale spill is almost beyond comprehension.

As our dollars are invested in bigger corporations, located farther away from the land we live upon, we lose the quality and connection to our food.
Greenpeace is no stranger to peaceful occupations -- some may say that we have even made a habit out of it! So it should come as no surprise that we share the ideals of the Occupy movement.
