The-Red-Moon.jpgEclipsed Moonlight (by Jerry Lodriguss)55 visiteCaption NASA:"Moon watchers blessed with clear skies over the Americas, Europe, Africa and Western Asia enjoyed a total lunar eclipse.
Catching eclipsed moonlight, astroimager Jerry Lodriguss offers this view of the inspiring celestial event with the shadowed Moon accompanied by wandering planet Saturn at the left, and bright Regulus, alpha star of the constellation Leo, above.
The engaging composite picture was made by combining a filtered, telephoto image of the Moon and surrounding starfield with a telescopic exposure. The combination dramatizes the reddened moonlight while clearly showing the variation of brightness and color in Earth's not-so-dark shadow across the lunar surface".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

TheGreyIllusion.JPGThe "Same Color Illusion"55 visiteDa "NASA - Picture of the Day" del giorno 4 Ottobre 2009:"Are square A and B of the same color?
They are.
The above illusion, called the "Same Color Illusion", illustrates that purely human observations in science may be ambiguous or inaccurate. Even such a seemingly direct perception as relative color. Similar illusions exist on the sky, such as the size of the Moon near the Horizon, or the apparent shapes of astronomical objects. The advent of automated, reproducible, measuring devices such as CCDs have made science in general and astronomy in particular less prone to, but not free of, human-biased illusions".MareKromium

The_Faces_of_Mars.jpgSo different and yet always the same...55 visiteDa "NASA - Picture of the Day" del giorno 5 Maggio 2010:"Enthusiastic astro-artists ranging from expert to beginner, the youngest age 10, all contributed their work to this entertaining panel featuring different faces of Mars. Their sketches are all based on telescopic views of the Red Planet from earlier this year, near its 2010 Opposition.
Mars offers the best telescopic views at opposition, since that's when it is closest and opposite the Sun in planet Earth's sky. Arranged in a spiral pattern, the sketches are positioned to follow the Planet's rotation.
No canals are visible(!), but large surface markings such as the dramatic, dark Syrtis Major are easily identified. As often seen through an astronomical telescope eyepiece, the Planet's orientation is inverted, with Mars' north polar cap at the bottom".
Nota Lunexit: dunque, se leggete attentamente "tra le righe" (ma nemmeno tanto: il concetto formulato dalla NASA a noi appare chiaro), anche il Grande Schiaparelli era un cretino ed i "Canali" se li è sognati. Piuttosto triste come considerazione. Silente è la NASA, invece, allorchè si nota come la colorazione globale di Marte vari non solo da occhio ad occhio, ma anche - e abbastanza ovviamente - da stagione a stagione. Ah, già, ma questo tipo di considerazione non si può fare: la NASA ha già detto (e mostrato) che Marte è SEMPRE color salmone e giallastro (con tratti verdognoli) e quindi l'unica conclusione che possiamo trarre è che quasi tutti gli artisti che hanno ritratto il Pianeta Rosso in questo collage devono necessariamente soffrire di un qualche disturbo nella percezione del colore. Come noi, del resto...MareKromium
