Eyjafjallajökull-Fulle.jpgNight over Eyjafjallajökull (credits: Marco Fulle - Stromboli Online) 65 visiteWhy did the recent volcanic eruption in Iceland create so much ash? Although the large ash plume was not unparalleled in its abundance, its location was particularly noticeable because it drifted across such well populated areas.
The Eyjafjallajökull Volcano in southern Iceland began erupting on March 20, with a second eruption starting under the center of a small glacier on April 14, 2010. Neither eruption was unusually powerful. The second eruption, however, melted a large amount of glacial ice which then cooled and fragmented lava into gritty glass particles that were carried up with the rising Volcanic Plume.
Pictured above, lightning bolts illuminate ash pouring out of the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano.MareKromium

FIRST DREAM.jpgThe 10000th Image for LunExIt: First Dream169 visiteCon questa immagine, scelta fra le 97 che abbiamo ricevuto, celebriamo la pubblicazione dei primi 10000 frames sul nostro Sito. Lunar Explorer Italia ringrazia, tramite il Presidente, lo Staff, i Collaboratori Interni, quelli Esterni ed i Soci Attivi, tutti coloro che hanno dato, danno e daranno il loro contributo per fare della nostra Fondazione un Punto di Riferimento, un domani, per coloro che cercano, investigano, si pongono domande e cercano, con onestà e pragmatismo, ma senza porre limiti alla propria mente, di vedere che cosa si nasconde "Oltre il Buio della Notte" (e così citiamo una splendida - e datata! - novella di Arthur C. Clarke che, a nostro avviso, costituisce una pietra miliare nel panorama della Science-Fiction di alto livello).
L'immagine First Dream ci è stata mandata da Gianluigi & Paola Barca, che ringraziamo di cuore.
Uno speciale ringraziamento anche ai nostri Amici "più presenti", e cioè il Dr Alessio Feltri, Lorenzo Leone, Matteo Fagone, Massimo Granzo, il Dr Alessandro Pullini, Fabio Italiano, il Dr Gino Sartarelli e tanti altri che, pur se non citati in questa sede, sono comunque nei nostri cuori e nei nostri pensieri.
Grazie a TUTTI!

FL-Anticrepuscolar Rays.jpgInfinite77 visiteCaption NASA originale:"(...) Pictured above are anticrepuscular rays.
To understand them, start by picturing common crepuscular rays that are seen any time that Sunlight pours though scattered clouds. Now although Sunlight indeed travels along straight lines, the projections of these lines onto the spherical sky are great circles. Therefore, the crepuscular rays from a setting (or rising) Sun will appear to re-converge on the other side of the sky.
At the anti-solar point 180° around from the Sun, they are referred to as anticrepuscular rays (...)".

FaithFullMoon090409_westlake.jpgObscuring the Moon...67 visiteCaption NASA:"October's bright Full Moon is also known as the "Harvest Moon".
Traditionally, the Harvest Moon is the Full Moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox. But in this snapshot, the Full Moon could be called the "Old Faith-Full Moon".
Taken on September 4, 2009, the picture combines the regularly occurring lunar phase with Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park, named for its dependable eruptions.
Shining on the well-known geyser's towering pillar from behind, the moonlight creates an eerie halo surrounding convoluted shapes.
Faithfully, the Full Moon itself is bright enough to be seen through the dense swirling steam near the top".MareKromium

Fake_Sunrise.jpgTotally Beautiful, but totally Fake72 visiteImmagine pubblicata sulla prestigiosa Rubrica "NASA - Astronomy Picture of the Day" il giorno 10 Ottobre 2011. Si tratta di un esempio ulteriore di come il "fake-ben-fatto" (e pure assai suggestivo) abbia un successo ed un seguito sempre più eclatanti.
Noi, che pure adoriamo il Genere "Fantasy" (al quale questa foto appartiene per non meno del 99%) umilmente, dissentiamo e diciamo che un'immagine come questa (in sè - lo ripetiamo a chiare lettere - davvero molto affascinante e particolare) meritava senz'altro un riconoscimento, ma NON quello del "NASA - Picture of the Day".

Fantasy APOD.jpgThe Universe is "on sight"!101 visiteDa "NASA - Picture of the Day" del 16 Giugno 2006:"The first APOD appeared 11 years ago today, on 1995, June 16. Although garnering only 14 page views on that day, we are proud to estimate that APOD has now served over 400 million space-related images over the last 11 years. That early beginning, along with a nearly unchanging format, has allowed APOD to be a consistent and familiar site on a web frequently filled with change. Many people don't know, though, that APOD is now translated daily into many major languages. We again thank our readers and NASA for their continued support, but ask that any potentially congratulatory e-mail go to the folks who created the great pictures - many times with considerable effort - that APOD has been fortunate enough to feature over the past year. Many can be contacted by following links found in the credit line under the image. Some of these images are featured in the above spectacular collage of a fantasy sky above Mars submitted by an enthusiastic APOD reader skilled in digital image manipulation. How many APOD images can you identify?".
