0-The Milky Way.jpgLooking at the center of the Milky Way186 visiteGalileo, non c'è più nulla,
Al di là del Cielo...
Gli Spazi Sconfinati che hai sognato,
E i Mondi senza Tempo che hai guardato,
Son solo isole, frammenti di uno specchio infranto...
Son solo lacrime, scintille di un eterno pianto...
E non c'è nulla che ti aspetta, Galileo,
No, non ti stancare...
E non c'è niente da scoprire, Galileo,
Al di là del Mare...
Galileo, non c'è più niente,
Al di là del Sole...
I moti irrazionali del tuo Cuore,
Le favole del tuo più grande Amore,
Son solo linee, tratteggi di un disegno bianco...
Son solo suoni, di un ritmo già battuto e stanco...
E non c'è nulla che ti aspetta, Galileo,
Non ci pensare...
E non c'è niente da scoprire, Galileo,
Al di là del Mare...
Galileo, non c'è che Dio, un Dio,
Al di là di Giove..
La Luce che rischiara questi monti,
E l'alba che rinnova gli orizzonti,
Son solo Istanti, del Tempo che trascorre irripetibile...
Son solo Amanti, di un sogno che rimane irraggiungibile...
Ma non c'è nulla che ti aspetta, Galileo,
Non ti crucciare,
Non c'è più niente da scoprire, Galileo,
Al di là del Mare...

00-Lunation.gifA full Lunar Cycle (Lunation)256 visiteDa "Astronomy: Picture of the Day", del 13 Novembre 2005:"Our Moon's appearance changes nightly. This time-lapse sequence shows what our Moon looks like during a lunation, such as a complete Lunar Cycle.
As the Moon orbits the Earth, the half illuminated by the Sun first becomes increasingly visible, then decreasingly visible. The Moon always keeps the same face toward the Earth and its apparent size changes slightly, though, and a slight wobble called "libration" is discernable as it progresses along its elliptical orbit.
During the cycle, sunlight reflects from the Moon at different angles and so illuminates different features differently. A full lunation takes about 29,5 days, such as just under a month (moon-th)".

000-Kaguya.jpgThe Kaguya (SELENE) Probe64 visiteThe SELenological and ENgineering Explorer "KAGUYA"(SELENE), Japan’s 1st large Lunar Explorer, was launched by the H-IIA rocket on September 14, 2007 (JST). The mission, which is the largest Lunar Mission since the Apollo Program, is being keenly anticipated by many countries.
The major objectives of the Mission are to understand the Moon’s origin and evolution and to observe the Moon in various ways in order to utilize it in the future. The Lunar Missions that have been conducted so far have gathered a large amount of information on the Moon, but the mysteries of its origin and evolution have been left unsolved.
KAGUYA will investigate the entire Moon in order to obtain information on its elemental and mineralogical composition, geography, surface and sub-surface structure, the remnant of its magnetic field and its gravity field.
The results are expected to lead to a better overall understanding of the Moon’s evolution. At the same time, the observation equipment installed on the orbiting satellite will observe plasma, the electromagnetic field and high-energy particles. The data obtained in this way will be of great scientific importance for exploring the possibility of using the moon for human endeavors.MareKromium

0009-Artemis_One-Far_Side_of_the_Moon.jpgThe bright and yet dark side of the Moon...82 visiteNASA officials say Artemis 1 mission teams are "giddy" after witnessing how well their Orion spacecraft has been performing so far on its way towards Lunar Orbit.
Artemis 1 launched at 01:47 EST (06:47 GMT) on Nov. 16, blasting off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida in a spectacular display of the sheer power of NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. The Orion spacecraft reached Earth orbit shortly after, and then at 87 minutes after launch performed a so-called Trans Lunar Injection burn to send it hurtling towards the moon. On Monday (Nov. 21), Orion performed another burn to send the Spacecraft close enough to the Lunar Surface to leverage (---> use, take advantage of) the Moon's Gravity to pull the Spacecraft around the Moon itself into a distant retrograde orbit.
After collecting data from that propulsive maneuver, NASA Officials held a briefing Monday evening (Nov. 21) to discuss Orion's powered flyby of the Moon. Judd Frieling, flight director at NASA's Johnson Space Center, said Orion Mission Team Members are "giddy" (to have a sensation of whirling and then a tendency to fall; synonym: dizzy) with the current performance they are seeing from the spacecraft after the flyby, which saw the Spacecraft come within about 80 miles of the Lunar Surface.MareKromium

0060.jpgCrossway (High-Def-3D; credits: Dr M. Faccin & Lunar Explorer Italia)253 visiteIl rilievo è splendido e suggestivo: lo abbiamo intitolato "Crossway" (---> incrocio) perchè ciò che si vede sembra davvero un incrocio fra due strade (sconnesse, certo, ma ancora ben delineate). Ma non è tutto! Guardate il paesaggio circostante e, in particolare, l'area compresa (considerando "l'Incrocio" come un divisorio del main-frame) nel quadrante superiore alla Vostra Sx.
Osservatela bene: non Vi sembra che si tratti di una superficie costituita da megablocchi di roccia (?) le cui forme e dimensioni (simili) sono tali da formare una sorta di "pavimentazione a mammelloni" (scusate la brutta espressione ma, onestamente, è difficile trovarne un'altra...)?
Purtroppo siamo ancora troppo lontani per poter azzardare ipotesi sensate ma quello che possiamo tranquillamente dire subito è che siamo al cospetto di un panorama davvero MOLTO interessante e profondamente...Alieno!MareKromium

01-Lunar Orbiter 1.jpgCrescent Earth from the Lunar Orbiter 1110 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Lunar Orbiter 1 new of the Moon and crescent Earth. This is the first good image of the Earth taken from the vicinity of the Moon, 380.000 km away. The Earth sunset terminator runs through Odessa, Istanbul and slightly west of Capetown. The center of the Lunar Surface corresponds to the location of the crater Pasteur, just on the eastern farside at 10° S,105° E, but the high sun angle makes it hard to see the craters. The horizon covers about 550 Km and north is to the right in this west facing image. (LO1 - frame 102; H1, H2, H3)".
Location & Time Information
Date/Time (UT): 1966-08-23 T 16:36:23

035-The Moon from Clem-PolarAreas.jpg111 - Polar Areas: Views of the South Pole54 visiteThe spin axis of the Moon is nearly vertical (inclined 1,6°) to the ecliptic plane (the plane of its orbit around the Sun), in marked contrast to the Earth (axis inclination 23,5°). However, even this small inclination means that the hemispheres of the Moon experience seasons as the Pole tracks toward and away from the Sun. Clementine started its lunar mapping in the dead of Southern Winter (axis away from the Sun), but by the 2nd month of mapping, the axis had begun to point closer in that direction. These two mosaics show the difference in lighting conditions between the first month of mapping (left, maximum winter) and the second month's coverage (right, toward the solstice).
Careful examination of the two mosaics reveals some slight shadow changes; note in particular the shadows that cover the floors of the craters Amundsen and Scott (large central peak crater at about 3 o'clock and the crater just above it). However, the large region of permanent shadow near the center of the mosaics discovered by Clementine remains virtually unchanged in the two mosaics.

04-CopernicusCrater-LO5.jpgThe "Peaks" of Eternal Sun-light (1)227 visite"If we can confirm peaks of eternal light", says Bernard Foing, SMART-1 Project Scientist, "these could be a key locations for possible future lunar outposts". The existence of peaks of eternal light at the poles, that is areas that remain eternally illuminated regardless of seasonal variations, was first predicted in the second half of the nineteenth century by the astronomer Camille Flammarion.
Even if for most of the Moon the length of the day does not vary perceptibly during the course of seasons, this is not the case over the poles, where illumination can vary extensively during the course of the year. The less favourable illumination conditions occur around the Northern Winter Solstice, around 24 January. There are areas at the bottom of near-polar craters that do not see direct sunshine, where ice might potentially be trapped. Also there are areas at higher elevation on the rim of Polar craters that see the Sun more than half of the time. Eventually, there may be areas that are always illuminated!".

099-DawnTrajectory.jpgThe "Dawn" Mission to 4-Vesta and 1-Ceres53 visiteGerman mathematician Karl F. Gauss calculated from Piazzi's few observations that 1-Ceres circled around the Sun once every 4,6 years or about 4 years, 220 days. The asteroid has a very primitive surface, say scientists on NASA's Dawn mission, which will launch in 2007 and examine 1-Ceres in 2015. The asteroid, like a young planet, contains water-bearing minerals, and possibly a very weak atmosphere and frost. Infrared observations show that the surface is warm.
NASA's HST observed that 1-Ceres' surface has a large spot, which could be a crater formed when another asteroid struck Ceres.
A second explanation may be that the spot is a brighter substance in the asteroid's soil. In July 2001, an object larger than 1-Ceres was found in the vast Kuiper Belt of asteroids, stretching from 30 to 100 AU (2,8 to 9,3 BMs away from the Sun.) This brightest and therefore biggest non-planet space rock, 2001 KX76, could be as big as 1300 Km across.
