Water Found On The Moon
Science: Since man first touched the moon and brought pieces of it back to Earth, scientists have thought that the lunar surface was bone dry. New observations.
Delphi (Greek Δελφοί, [še̞lˈfi]) (pronounce and dialectal forms) is both an archaeological site and a modern town in Greece on the south-western spur of Mount Parnassus in the valley of Phocis. Delphi was the site of the Delphic oracle, the most important oracle in the classical Greek world, when it was a major site for the worship of the god Apollo after he slew the Python, a deity who lived there and protected the navel of the Earth. His sacred precinct in Delphi was a panhellenic sanctuary, where every four years athletes from all over the Greek world competed in the Pythian Games, one of the four panhellenic (or stephanitic) games, precursors to the Modern Olympics.
Delphi was revered throughout the Greek world as the site of the omphalos stone, the centre of the earth and the universe. In the inner hestia ("hearth") of the Temple of Apollo, an eternal flame burned. After the battle of Plataea, the Greek cities extinguished their fires and brought new fire from the hearth of Greece, at Delphi; in the foundation stories of several Greek colonies, the founding colonists were first dedicated at Delphi.

Anyways, first thing you notice is that you're really fuckin' high up. Seriously. You could see for miles if not for all the other mountains. The air is clean, crisp, with a touch of mysticism. The ruins seem to speak to you, that is if you know the history and the significance of the area.
The temple itself is mostly gone, a few solitary pillars being all that's left. Apparently, in the back was a crack in the earth that would vent fumes into the room, and that's how the Oracle (called the Pithia) got her visions. She was high, lol.
As well, everywhere you look there's Ancient Greek writing detailing kings and emissaries who went to the Pithia for her advice. If you're ever in Greece, you need to go to Delphi. ___
