Futuristic mega-projects by Shimizu Japanese construction firm Shimizu Corporation has developed a series of bold architectural plans for the world of tomorrow. Here is a preview of seven mega-projects that have the potential to reshape life on (and off) Earth in the coming decades. - Luna Ring In response to the ever-growing demand for energy, Shimizu has developed plans for the Luna Ring, a project that seeks to transform the Moon into a massive solar power plant. Luna Ring's 11,000-kilometer (6,800-mile) "solar belt" spans the Moon's equator Electricity collected by the Luna Ring's enormous "solar belt" is relayed to power conversion facilities located on the near side of the Moon. Luna Ring feeds power to energy-hungry Earth The solar power plant is built mainly using lunar resources. Large machinery and equipment from Earth is assembled in space and landed on the lunar surface for installation. - Green Float Lily pad-like cities at sea Each floating island features a 1,000-meter (3,300-ft) central tower. + Video
What on earth! | Esther Havens Humanitarian Photography I am traveling with Austin Mann in Ethiopia working on the final prep for our Light The World workshop. We looked up to the sky to see the strangest thing i’ve probably ever seen. What on earth could it be. We just sat in wonder as the colors changed and shifted shapes behind the clouds. I barely touched these so you can see how insane this looks straight out of the camera. UPDATE: Check out Austin Mann’s BLOGPOST of the rainbow cloud.

The Days (And Years) Of Our Lives Looking at the numbers above, you'll immediately notice that you are different ages on the different planets. The earth is in motion. The top-like rotation of the earth on its axis is how we define the day. The revolution of the earth around the sun is how we define the year. We all learn in grade school that the planets move at differing rates around the sun. Why the huge differences in periods? Johannes Kepler Tycho Brahe Kepler briefly worked with the great Danish observational astronomer, Tycho Brahe. Here you see a planet in a very elliptical orbit. Kepler's third law is the one that interests us the most. Let's just solve for the period by taking the square root of both sides: The Gravity Of The Situation Isaac Newton ©2000 Ron Hipschman
