Moon_Venus.jpgVenus and the Moon272 visiteSembra un Sistema Stellare Binario, ripreso dalla superficie di un pianeta sconosciuto, posto ben oltre i limiti della nostra capacità di vedere, di comprendere e, forse, anche solo di immaginare e invece...
Invece si tratta del binomio Luna-Venere, con entrambi gli astri ampiamente sovraesposti - in modo tale da conferire loro un'apparenza 'quasi-stellare' - ripresi dalle sommità di una montagna degli USA.

MoonoverAntarctica.jpgAlien Landscape (Moon over Antarctica)109 visiteDa "NASA - Picture of the Day" del 25 Novembre 2005:"Last week, the nearly Full Moon set along the Northern Horizon - as seen from Davis Station, Antarctica. The squashed orange pumpkin shape just silhouettes the peak of a distant iceberg in this stunning view.
The Moon's apparently squashed shape is due to atmospheric bending of light or refraction - an effect which is more severe closer to the horizon. Skimming low along the stark features of the frozen landscape, the Moon's lower edge appears noticeably more distorted than the upper limb. Along with about 70 others present at Davis Station, Dr. Jim Behrens had a chance to enjoy the view while studying the ongoing detachment of a large iceberg known as "Loose Tooth".

Moonrise.jpgThe "Moon Illusion"...From Cape Sounion185 visiteDa "NASA - Picture of the Day" del 23 Giugno 2005:"The Moon was full this month on June 22nd, only a day after the northern hemisphere's summer solstice. Since this solstice marked the northernmost point of the Sun's annual motion through planet Earth's sky, the full Moon rising near the ecliptic plane opposite the Sun was at its farthest south for the year. Only a month earlier, on May 23rd, astronomer Anthony Ayiomamitis recorded this picture of another southerly full Moon rising above Cape Sounion, Greece. The twenty-four hundred year old Temple of Poseidon lies in the foreground, also visible to sailors on the Aegean Sea. In this well-planned, single exposure, a long telephoto lens makes the Moon loom large, but even without optical aid casual skygazers often find the full Moon looking astonishingly large when seen near the horizon.
That powerful visual effect is known as the Moon Illusion".

Moons_of_the_Solar_System.jpgWhich is Which?61 visiteMiranda, Proteus, Enceladus e Mimas: queste quattro "Lune del Sistema Solare" sono state allineate in questa fotocomposizione in maniera tale da poterne individuare le affinità e le differenze con un solo sguardo.
MA...affinità e differenze a parte, sapreste ordinarle correttamente, da Sx a Dx, attribuendo ad ognuna di esse il giusto nome? Provateci!MareKromium

Multiuniverse.jpgThe "Universe", inside...116 visite...Tutto avremmo potuto immaginare, tranne che il Sito "NASA - Picture of the Day" giungesse a mostrare un fantasyframe che esprime il medesimo concetto della nostra Sezione "The Universe Inside". Ora i casi sono due (se ci passate la battuta): o gli Ideatori e Curatori del Sito NASA ci hanno copiato in maniera palese, o - come peraltro è già accaduto in passato - gli Ideatori ed i Curatori di "Lun-Ex-It" e di "NASA - Picture of the Day", talvolta (ma sempre più spesso), hanno proprio le stesse idee ed intuizioni...
Caption originale:"Do nearly exact copies of you exist in other universes? If one or more of the multiverse hypotheses is correct, then quite possibly they do. In the above computer-enhanced illustration, independent universes are shown as independent circles or spheres. Spheres may be causally disconnected from all other spheres, meaning no communications can pass between them. Some spheres may contain different realizations of our universe, while others may have different physical laws. An entire set of parallel universes is called a multiverse. The human eye might represent the possibility that realizations of some multiverse hypotheses might only exist in the human mind. One criticism of multiverse hypotheses is that they are frequently difficult to test. Some multiverse hypotheses may therefore be great fun to think about but not practically falsifiable and therefore have no predictive scientific value".
