Travel with Dr. Robert Hitt to the other side of the world.
Students: Follow me on your computer on a trip to the other side of the world. I traveled to Tahiti to photograph a total solar eclipse. I left Chesapeake on April 3, 2005 and flew from Washington D.C. to California and then on to Tahiti. The journey took over 14 hours. In Tahiti I boarded a ship named "Discovery" and set sail to the island of Moorea. The trip ended in Peru, South America on April 21st.
