Picture of the day on May 19, 2016: Pipe organ of the church of the Society of Jesus (La Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús), a Jesuit church in Quito, Ecuador. The exterior of the building gives no hint of the sumptuous internal decoration. Its large central nave is profusely embellished with gold leaf, gilded plaster and wood carvings, making it the most ornate church in Quito. One of the most significant works of Spanish Baroque architecture in America, it is considered the most beautiful church in Ecuador. The pipe organ is located in the choir, over the main entrance, and is with 1104 pipes the second biggest pipe organ in Quito that is still working: it was built in the United States in 1889, and is used during special festivities.

Article of the day for May 19, 2016

The Article of the day for May 19, 2016 is 2003 Pacific hurricane season . The 2003 Pacific hurricane season produced tropical cyclones that mainly affected Mexico. Hurricane Ignacio killed 2 people in Mexico and Marty killed 12; together they were responsible for damage worth about $1 billion. Two other Pacific hurricanes, one Pacific tropical storm and three Atlantic storms also had a direct impact on Mexico. The only other significant storm of the season was Hurricane Jimena, which passed just to the south of the island of Hawaii, becoming the first storm in several years to directly threaten the island. The season officially started on May 15, 2003, in the eastern Pacific, and on June 1, 2003, in the central Pacific, lasting until November 30, 2003. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. There were 16 named storms, including 7 hurricanes; both totals are comparable with the long-term averages.
