Hoodoos.jpgHoodoos61 visiteDa "NASA - Picture of the Day", del giorno 3 Luglio 2008:"The strange-looking rock formations in the foreground of this skyscape are called "Hoodoos".
Towers of weathered, eroded sedimentary rock, Hoodoos are found in arid regions of planet Earth and are particularly abundant in an area known as Bryce Canyon National Park in southern Utah, USA.
The more familiar night sky pictured here was recorded early Monday morning and includes bright star Capella, alpha star of the constellation Auriga, left of center.
On the far right, a very over exposed crescent Moon dominates the sky in close conjunction with the sister stars of the Pleiades Cluster. The curious shapes of the two tall, illuminated Hoodoos suggest their popular monikers: Thor's Hammer (right) and The Temple of Osiris".
Nota Lunexit: e se le Cuspidi di Blair (a.k.a.: The Lunar Spires) fossero, in realt, qualcosa del genere?!?... Questo solo per dire e per dirVi: ATTENZIONE quando si parla di "strutture artificiali"! Se questa foto fosse stata scattata su Marte (ad esempio), quanti Eso-Archeografi (Eso-Archeologi) ed Appassionati (assieme ai soliti Scrittori immaginifici e furbetti) avrebbero immediatamente pensato e parlato di "possibili - se non certi... - Artifacts"?
Pensateci sopra...MareKromium

The_Moon_and_the_Pleiades.jpgFragments of the Infinite53 visite"...E cos Ti vedo, nascosta dietro i Veli di Orione,
E sorridente, come una Stella del Mattino,
Mi guardi, ma lasci che sia io a parlare,
Ti guardo, e lascio che la Notte si spenga,
Amore mio, sei ad un Passo dal mio Cuore,
Che sento pulsare e che potrei toccare,
Ma un inganno: Tu sei persa nell'Infinito,
Trascorsa l'Alba, di Te non rimarr pi nulla..."
P.C. Floegers - "Poesie"

Lost.jpgLost...52 visiteWandering through the Evening Sky, on May 4th, 2008, Planet Mars stood in line with Castor and Pollux, the two bright stars of the constellation Gemini.
In this time exposure of the celestial alignment, Mars actually takes on a distinct yellowish hue, contrasting in color with Pollux; a giant star known to have a Jupiter-class planet, and Castor; itself a multiple Star System.
Though in mythology Pollux and Castor are twin brothers, the two stars are physically unrelated and are about 34 and 50 LY distant respectively.
Included in the skyview are Procyon, alpha star of Canis Minor, and famous star cluster M44, also known as the Beehive Cluster. Dust in our own Solar System reflecting sunlight creates the faint band of Zodiacal Light emerging from the lower right corner of the frame. Just put your cursor over the picture for help with identifications.
Of course, bright Mars can still be found in the western evening skies and tonight wanders near the crescent Moon.MareKromium

TheCrescentMoon-GIF-080406_0939-46.gifYoung Moon (GIF-Movie; credits: Laurent Laveder)53 visiteCaption NASA, da "NASA - Picture of the Day" del giorno 11 Aprile 2008:"At first, he couldn't see it, but searching with binoculars along a cloudy western horizon near Sunset, photographer Laurent Laveder finally spotted a delicate Lunar Crescent. Captured in this dramatic picture on April 6th, 2008, from Bretagne, France, the Moon was only 15 h. and 38' old.
Its slight, irregular, sunlit arc opens upward just above the dark cloud bank near picture center. Of course, a crescent Moon in the early evening sky is a lovely sight often enjoyed by many. But finding the Moon when its slim crescent is still less than about 24 hours past the New Moon phase requires careful timing and planning, a challenging project even for experienced observers.
In this sighting, only about 0,8% of the Moon's disk appears illuminated.
Laveder notes that this is the youngest Moon he has spotted in 20 years of skygazing".MareKromium

Spacer.jpgHappy Easter 2008! (by Giorgio Picciau)54 visiteUn Saluto ed un Augurio "UFO-Roboticamente Spaziali" di Buona Pasqua 2008, a Tutti gli Amici di Lunar Explorer Italia, da parte del bravissimo ed immaginifico "Artista del Cosmo", Giorgio Picciau!
Un grande complimento a Lui, per questa bella e romantica "Visione" che - ne siamo certi - ci riporter tutti indietro di qualche anno, "...quando le cose erano (forse) pi semplici ed i cieli (di certo) erano pi limpidi".

Memory.jpgIn Memory of Arthur C. Clarke65 visiteUn occhio che scruta le azioni e le intenzioni, freddo e luminoso, ancora si accende - minaccioso - nell'Immaginario Collettivo, quando si parla di AI.
L'occhio quello dell'Elaboratore HAL-9000: una creazione (forse la pi fantastica e realistica) del Grande Scrittore Inglese, Sir Arthur C. Clarke, deceduto oggi (19 Marzo 2008).
Questa immagine vuole essere un Tributo al Suo Genio, alla Sua Opera, a nostro parere, pi Bella ("2001: A Space Odyssey") ed alla Sua Memoria.
