HK-Tauri.jpgHK Tauri63 visite"...I have a distaste for certain poems written in the Great War.
The writers were officers and they felt bound to plead the suffering of their men.
In poems written in the first person, they made that suffering their own..."

KappaCrucis.jpgThe "Jewel Box" (alias Kappa Crucis)63 visiteThis image of part of the Jewel Box, an open star cluster, was acquired by the HiRISE camera, an instrument on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, on December 14, 2005 as part of a calibration sequence while en route to the Red Planet. The Jewel Box was so named by Sir John Herschel because of the variety of star colors in the cluster, including the large red giant star seen near the bottom of this image. The Jewel Box, also called Kappa Crucis, is about 10 MY old, so it is much younger than our Sun which is about 4.600 MY old. This cluster lies about 7.500 LY away, so the light we see today left the stars in the Neolithic Ages of Earth, when farming was first being practiced by our ancestors.
HiRISE can image in three colors, green, red, and near-infrared, so the colors are not exactly as we see them with our eyes.
The Jewel Box cluster lies in the Crux constellation, also called the Southern Cross, the most compact constellation in the sky.

Earth_s Calling 1.JPGEarth is calling: the "puzzle"63 visiteDa "NASA - Picture of the Day", del 2 Aprile 2006:"If you could send a message to an Alien Civilization, what would you say? The people from the Cosmic Call Project sent the above image as the first page of a longer message. The message was broadcast toward local stars by radio telescope during the Summer of 1999. Another message was sent in 2003. The single-dish, 70 meter diameter telescope that send the messages is located in Ukraine on the Crimean peninsula near the town of of Evpatoria. This first page of the Cosmic Call 1999 message, shown above, involves only numbers and so is easier for puzzle solvers to decode than a more famous message broadcast toward distant star cluster M13 in 1974".

Far far away, someone was weeping,
But the World was sleeping,
Any Dream will do..."
