The_Faces_of_Mars.jpgSo different and yet always the same...60 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...MareKromiumMag 05, 2010

Eyjafjallajökull-Fulle.jpgNight over Eyjafjallajökull (credits: Marco Fulle - Stromboli Online) 56 visiteWhy did the recent volcanic eruption in Iceland create so much ash? Although the large ash plume was not unparalleled in its abundance, its location was particularly noticeable because it drifted across such well populated areas.
The Eyjafjallajökull Volcano in southern Iceland began erupting on March 20, with a second eruption starting under the center of a small glacier on April 14, 2010. Neither eruption was unusually powerful. The second eruption, however, melted a large amount of glacial ice which then cooled and fragmented lava into gritty glass particles that were carried up with the rising Volcanic Plume.
Pictured above, lightning bolts illuminate ash pouring out of the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano.MareKromiumMag 04, 2010

Glory.jpgGlory never fades...99 visiteIf you tried to enter this hall of fog, you would find it dissipates around you. The hall is actually an the mountain from which this picture was taken.
Known as "The Glory", the phenomenon is frequently seen from airplanes. The ring's center is not visible, but if it were, the shadow of the observer would appear. This shadow would likely change as clouds passed, creating a faux moving giant known as the Brocken Spectre.
Pictured above, several concentric rings of the glory appear to create a hall for this mountain king. The cause of The Glory has only been understood recently and is relatively complex. Briefly, small droplets of water reflect, refract, and diffract Sunlight backwards towards the Sun. The phenomenon has a counterpart in astronomy, where looking out from planet Earth in the direction opposite the Sun yields a bright spot called "The Gegenschein".MareKromiumMag 04, 2010

Setting_Moon.jpgSetting Moon60 visiteIt's a mystery to me - the game commences
For the usual fee - plus expenses
Confidential information - I send a diary - this is my investigation - it's not a public inquiry...
I go checking out the reports - digging up the dirt
You get to meet all sorts in this line of work
Treachery and treason - there's always an excuse for it
And when I find the reason I still can't get used to it...
And what have you got at the end of the day?
What have you got to take away?
A bottle of whisky and a new set of lies
Blinds on the windows and a pain behind the eyes
Scarred for life - no compensation
Private investigations...
