From the Middle East to Southeast Asia, people looked skyward for a chance to see an annular eclipse Thursday, as the unusual celestial event took place over a long but thin band of the world. The striking “ring of fire” phenomenon – with the moon blotting out all but a sliver of the sun — began in Saudi Arabia and ended northeast of Guam in the Pacific Ocean.
An annular eclipse occurs when the moon is too far away from the Earth to block the entire sun during an eclipse. Instead of the sun’s full bright disc, or a crescent of light, viewers in areas of complete annularity see a fiery halo around the moon.

On this day, 14 September 1867, volume one of Karl Marx’s Magnum Opus, ‘Das Kapital’ first appeared in Germany. Subsequently published in all the world’s major languages and studied widely by workers it was often referred to as “The Bible of the working class”. While lengthy, it is definitely worth a read at some point as it is still unsurpassed as an analysis and critique of capitalism.

“The irresistible output of the entertainment and information industry carry with them prescribed attitudes and habits, certain intellectual and emotional reactions which bind the consumers more or less pleasantly to the producers and, through the latter, to the whole. The products indoctrinate and manipulate; they promote a false consciousness which is immune against its falsehood… Thus emerges a pattern of one-dimensional thought and behavior.” — Herbert Marcuse, One-Dimensional Man (via philosophybits)
