UVI Etelman Observatory
The University of the Virgin Islands' Etelman Observatory is the eastern-most observatory in the Americas and is the only robotically controlled research-grade telescope within 3000 miles of St Thomas. The Etelman Observatory has a fully automated, robotically controlled and queue-driven 0.5m research-grade telescope. As part of this renovation project, the Etelman’s original house was converted into an observatory control and science education center. The New Etelman Observatory serves as a center for Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education excellence, a venue for public science outreach activities, and a fundamental astrophysics and geophysics research station.

Aerials show Virgin Islands devastation caused by Irma - Daily Mail
Newly released aerial footage on Saturday shows the utter destruction and devastation wrought by Hurricane Irma on the British and U.S. Virgin Islands this week. What were once homes in an idyllic Caribbean setting were reduced to roofless skeletons of structures surrounded by torn-down trees and shrubs that were at the mercy of 150-mile-per-hour winds and heavy rains. Some of the homes seen in the town of Eustacia were not lucky enough to still be standing. Helicopter footage also showed the hurricane's aftermath in Bitter End. The beachside area appears to be reduced to ruins in a scene reminiscent of a nuclear explosion.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
