In Constant Change

 Another perspective of Gaia and the Moon from within the Museum of Nature.


Into the next gallery I went. The Earth Gallery examines the beginnings of our world, its geological makeup, and its place in the universe. We first see display cases with the three types of rock found on the planet. This is sedimentary.


Metamorphic rock is an earlier rock that has been transformed by heat and pressure into a new kind of rock.


And this is magmatic rock.


A video display shows some of the variety of landscapes of the world.

  6. Spectacular post especially with Artemis 2. Triumph for brains and positive human activity in a scary dark time. I have a conviction that things are going to be okay. We are seeing the cracks in the troublemakers as they start bickering with each other. Thanks William. I've just had so much on my plate with my mother's passing. My husband's care and declining and I found out yesterday my accountant has passed away. It's a lot. I'm handling everything but looking forward to a more normal life after all my duties are handled. Incidentally, my brother is visiting from north of Edmonton. Wish I could be over on the big island with the family for my mom's memorial but I don't want to be a plane ride away for my husband. I've been visiting him daily. All right William. Enjoy your life. Enjoy your health. I certainly am grateful to be alive and looking forward to happier days ahead. Thanks for listening. Feel free to delete this if it harshes the mellow of your comments. Aloha!
