Solar Eclipse in Indonesia. It's Every 350 years. Don't Miss It!

Total eclipse is visible from any point on Earth only about once every 350 years. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness.

Indonesia will be lucky to host this year solar eclipse. Indonesia will be the best location to watch the spectacular solar eclipse on 9 March 2016 when its shadow sweeps across this archipelago from west to east. Space watchers, amateur and professional astronomers should note the cities where the total solar eclipse can be best observed.

Last Chance to See the Northern Lights Before They Dim...

Watching the bright dancing lights of the aurora in person are actually one of my bucket list.. But after next year, they're going to be much more difficult to see. The aurora borealis isn't disappearing, but it is expected to appear less frequently over the next decade. The effect is estimated to last until 2024 or even 2026. During that time, the lights will be less frequent and bright.

Greenest Country on the Planet!!!

More than 3.5 billion people – half of the people on the planet – live in countries with unsafe levels of air pollution. Can you imagine??? 

What does it feel? I mean how does it like living in a country that protects your health? Going green is important to planet Earth and every country should embrace sustainable living. And here's the answer.

Researchers from Yale and Columbia universities along with the World Economic Forum have been creating the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) biennially for the last 15 years. The report provides a global ranking of environmental performance for 180 countries and measures how they do to protect ecosystems and human health.

Top 10 greenest country:
1. Finland (90.68)
2. Iceland (90.51)
3. Sweden (90.43)
4. Denmark (89.21)
