Retrograde_Mars-TT-2010.jpgRetrograde Mars55 visiteDa "NASA - Picture of the Day" del giorno 13 Giugno 2010:"Why would Mars appear to move backwards? Most of the time, the apparent motion of Mars in Earth's Sky is in one direction, slow but steady in front of the far distant stars. About every two years, however, the Earth passes Mars as they orbit around the Sun. During the most recent such pass late last year and early this year, Mars as usual, loomed large and bright.
Also during this time, Mars appeared to move backwards in the sky, a phenomenon called "Retrograde Motion".
Pictured above is a series of images digitally stacked so that all of the stars images coincide. Here, Mars appears to trace out a loop in the sky. At the center of the loop, Earth passed Mars and the retrograde motion was the highest. Retrograde Motion can also be seen for other Planets of the Solar System". MareKromium

Richat_Crater.jpgRichat Crater167 visiteEd ecco il Richat Crater, a colori, che ci rammenta - caso mai ce ne fosse bisogno - che la "nostra" Terra è, in fondo, come Venere, come Marte e come infiniti altri Corpi Celesti dell'Universo.
Il "messaggio nella bottiglia" che ci viene consegnato attraverso questa splendida immagine del cratere Richat dice, a nostro parere, solo queste poche parole:
"Il nostro Pianeta non è e noi non siamo un'eccezione.
Il nostro Pianeta non è e noi non siamo diversi dal resto del Sistema Solare.
Il nostro Pianeta non è e noi non siamo diversi dal resto dell'Universo.
La Terra NON E' UNICA e noi NON SIAMO UNICI".

Rising_Moon.jpgRising Moon68 visiteCaption NASA:"What's happening to the Moon? Drifting around the Earth in 2006 July, astronauts from the International Space Station (ISS) captured a crescent Moon floating far beyond the horizon. The captured above image is interesting because part of the Moon appears blue, and because part of the moon appears missing.
Both effects are created by the Earth's atmosphere. Air molecules more efficiently scatter increasingly blue light, making the clear day sky blue for ground observers, and the horizon blue for astronauts.
Besides reflecting sunlight, these atmospheric molecules also deflect moonlight, making the lower part of the Moon appear to fade away. As one looks higher in the photograph, the increasingly thin atmosphere appears to fade to black".

SN 1006-1.jpgSN 1006: A New Sun over the Ocean...75 visite...Si tratta soltanto di una - riuscita - ricostruzione/falsificazione, ma il risultato finale è comunque molto bello e ci dimostra, una volta ancora, che se si è capaci di "giocare" con le immagini, si può creare qualsiasi cosa e si può ingannare chiunque...
Caption originale:"A new star, likely the brightest supernova in recorded human history, appeared in planet Earth's sky about 1000 years ago, in 1006 AD. The expanding debris cloud from the stellar explosion is still visible to modern astronomers, but what did the supernova look like in 1006? In celebration of the millennial anniversary of SN1006, astronomer Tunc Tezel offers this intriguing suggestion, based on a photograph he took on February 22, 1998 from a site overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, south of Antalya, Turkey. On that date, bright Venus and a waning crescent Moon shone in the early morning sky. Adopting calculations which put the supernova's apparent brightness between Venus and the crescent Moon, he digitally superposed an appropriate new star in the picture. He placed the star at the supernova's position in the southerly constellation of Lupus and used the water's reflection of moonlight in the final image".
