UnknownOrigin.jpgUnknown Origin (by Dr Marco Faccin)53 visite"...We are not, what we are;
And we are not, what we seem to be.
We are not, what we do;
And we are not, what we feel and fight for.
We are not, what we say;
And we are not, what we think.
We are not, what we are;
And we are not, what we pretend to be..."

LunarEclipses.jpgEclipses...52 visiteCaption NASA, da "NASA - Picture of the Day", del 29 Febbraio 2008:"Welcome to the extra day in the Gregorian Calendar's leap year 2008! To celebrate, consider this grid of lunar eclipse pictures - starting in leap year 1996 and ending with February's eclipse - with the date in numerical year/month/day format beneath each image. Mostly based on visibility from a site in Turkey, the 3x4 matrix includes 11 of the 13 total lunar eclipses during that period, and fills out the grid with the partial lunar eclipse of September 2006. Still, as the pictures are at the same scale, they illustrate a noticeable variation in the apparent size of the eclipsed Moon caused by the real change in Earth-Moon distance around the Moon's elliptical orbit. The total phases are also seen to differ in color and darkness. Those effects are due to changes in cloud cover and dust content in the atmosphere reddening and refracting sunlight into Earth's shadow. Of course, the next chance to add a total lunar eclipse to this grid will come at the very end of the decade".MareKromium

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.

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".

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

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
