In this dramatic photo sequence by Greek photographer Elias Politis, we see a total eclipse of the Moon unfolding over the Acropolis. As the full Moon moves further and further into the Earth’s shadow, more and more of it gets dark. When the eclipse is total, the Moon is seen as red because a bit of the red light being bent through the Earth atmosphere can still reach it.
Of the grand order of folio leviathans, the Sperm Whale and the Right Whale are by far the most noteworthy. They are the only whales regularly hunted by man. To the Nantucketer, they present the two extremes of all the known varieties of the whale. As the external difference between them is mainly observable in their heads; and as a head of each is this moment hanging from the Pequod's side.
