Down is up and up is down. Or is it the other way around? Earth and a fortiori the whole solar system, even our home galaxy- endlessly float into space as the universe expands. As the Earth rotates around the Sun and on itself, it gives the impression that the sky is actually moving for an observer on its surface. That’s probably why it took so long for humanity to accept that the Sun was at the center of the solar system and not the Earth!
natgeo Photography by @stephenwilkes. Steeple Jason is a magical place and is home to 70% of the worlds population of Black-browed Albatross. This video of a fledgling Black-browed Albatross, covered with soft grey down feathers is a preview of my upcoming series from an assignment on Bird Migration that will be published in National Geographic in January and exhibited at the National Geographic Museum in Washington DC in February. Please stay tuned to see more from this amazing adventure.
