Lunar Eclipse.jpgLunar Eclipse over England77 visiteDa "NASA - Picture of the Day", dell'11 Settembre 2006:"Last Thursday - Sept., 7th, 2006 -, part of our Moon turned dark. The cause, this time, was not a partial lunar phase - the Moon was full - but rather that part of the Moon went into Earth's shadow. The resulting Partial Lunar Eclipse was visible from the Eastern Atlantic Ocean through Europe, Africa and Asia and into the Western Pacific Ocean. The darkest part of the Lunar Eclipse, when part of the Moon was completely shielded from Sunlight, lasted about 90 minutes.
Pictured here, a partially eclipsed Moon is seen rising over an estate in Huddersfield, England. The above image was taken far away from the house in the foreground, as only this would allow it to appear as angularly small as the half-degree Moon far in the background. A setting twilight Sun lit the foreground. The next eclipse of the Moon will occur in March 2007".

The_Sun~0.jpgNorouz...77 visiteCaption NASA:"Clouds covered the eastern horizon on Monday, when the Sun rose over the expansive Touran Wildlife Reserve in North-Eastern Iran. Of course, on that day the Moon rose with the Sun, creating a widely enjoyed partial solar eclipse. Along with a mountainous horizon, the cloud cover lent a dramatic aspect to this eclipse sunrise and made it possible for astronomer Babak Tafreshi to record these telephoto images without using a filter. Advancing north in planet Earth's sky, the Sun itself was also approaching the equinox, the astronomical marker for the first day of Northern Hemisphere Spring and the beginning of Norouz, the Persian New Year".

UnknownOrigin.jpgUnknown Origin (by Dr Marco Faccin)77 visite"...We are not, what we are;
And we are not, what we seem to be.
We are not, what we do;
And we are not, what we feel and fight for.
We are not, what we say;
And we are not, what we think.
We are not, what we are;
And we are not, what we pretend to be..."

The_Moon_and_the_Pleiades.jpgFragments of the Infinite77 visite"...E così Ti vedo, nascosta dietro i Veli di Orione,
E sorridente, come una Stella del Mattino,
Mi guardi, ma lasci che sia io a parlare,
Ti guardo, e lascio che la Notte si spenga,
Amore mio, sei ad un Passo dal mio Cuore,
Che sento pulsare e che potrei toccare,
Ma è un inganno: Tu sei persa nell'Infinito,
Trascorsa l'Alba, di Te non rimarrà più nulla..."

Earth.pngMother Earth77 visiteDalla Rubrica "NASA - Picture of the Day", del giorno 23 Novembre 2009:"Goodbye Earth!
Earlier this month, ESA's interplanetary Rosetta Spacecraft zoomed past the Earth on its way back across the Solar System.
Pictured above, Earth showed a bright crescent phase featuring the South Pole to the passing rocket ship. Launched from Earth in 2004, Rosetta used the gravity of the Earth to help propel it out past Mars and toward a 2014 rendezvous with Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
Last year, the Robot Spacecraft passed asteroid 2867 Steins, and next year it is scheduled to pass enigmatic asteroid 21 Lutetia. If all goes well, Rosetta will release a probe that will land on the 15-Km diameter comet in 2014". MareKromium

SunDogs.jpgSuomi's Sundogs76 visiteWhat's happened to the Sun? Sometimes it looks like the Sun is being viewed through a large lens. In the above case, however, there are actually millions of lenses: ice crystals. As water freezes in the upper atmosphere, small, flat, six-sided, ice crystals might be formed. As these crystals flutter to the ground, much time is spent with their faces flat, parallel to the ground. An observer may pass through the same plane as many of the falling ice crystals near sunrise or sunset. During this alignment, each crystal can act like a miniature lens, refracting sunlight into our view and creating phenomena like parhelia, the technical term for sundogs. The above image was taken during early 2006 February near Helsinki, Finland with a quickly deployed cellular camera phone. Visible in the image center is the Sun, while two bright sundogs glow prominently from both the left and the right. Also visible is the 22° halo also created by sunlight reflecting off of atmospheric ice crystals.
