Join 📚 Rasul's Highlights

In 1905, he travelled to Algeria to observe a total eclipse, but he failed to heed the maximum exposure time and damaged the cornea of his left eye.

The doctors told him the damage was irreversible. To his friends, who worried about the effects eventual blindness might have on an astronomer’s career, he said—only partly in jest—that he, like Odin, had sacrificed one eye to be able to see further with the other.

They also provide a great way for customers to stay up to date on the changing content of an app without having to log in repeatedly. With Basecamp feeds, customers can pop the URL into a newsreader and keep an eye on project messages, todo lists, and milestones without having to constantly check in at the site.
