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...

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...MareKromium

Sun___clouds.jpgThe eclipse is real, but this picture is just a fake!59 visiteDa "NASA - Picture of the Day" del giorno 11 Aprile 2005:" (...) The above image composite was taken with a handheld digital camera. After a day of rain in Mt. Holly, North Carolina, USA, a partially eclipsed Sun momentarily peaked through a cloudy sky. After taking a sequence of images, the best eclipse shot was digitally combined with a less good eclipse shot that featured a passing airplane".
Nota: è deprimente vedere come gli Amici della NASA dìano spazio e valore ad un semplice "falso" ("digital combination of different images" significa solo "FABBRICARE UN FALSO").
Stiamo esagerando? Pensate: le fotografie, sino a qualche anno fa, rappresentavano un "istante cristallizzato" del mondo reale. Ora - così come avviene in questo specifico frame - ciò che viene "cristallizzato" è un evento che, nel mondo reale, NON E' MAI accaduto!
L'uso di jargon tecnologico potrà impressionare gli sprovveduti, ma la verità è che il confine fra 'Realtà' e 'Ricostruzione Simulata della Realtà' si è fatto sottilissimo...

Voyagers-01.gifTowards the "Terra Incognita" (2)59 visiteIt is appropriate to consider the VIM as three distinct phases: the termination shock, heliosheath exploration, and interstellar exploration phases. The two Voyager spacecraft began the VIM operating, and are still operating, in an environment controlled by the Sun's magnetic field with the plasma particles being dominated by those contained in the expanding supersonic solar wind. This is the characteristic environment of the termination shock phase. At some distance from the Sun, the supersonic solar wind will be held back from further expansion by the interstellar wind. The first feature to be encountered by a spacecraft as a result of this interstellar wind/solar wind interaction will be the termination shock where the solar wind slows from supersonic to subsonic speed and large changes in plasma flow direction and magnetic field orientation occur.
Passage through the Termination Shock ends the Termination Shock Phase (TSP) and begins the Heliosheath Exploration Phase (HEP). Voyager 1 in 2004 completed the TSP of the mission when the spacecraft was 94 AU from the Sun. After passage through the Termination Shock, the spacecraft will be operating in the Heliosheath environment which is still dominated by the Sun's Magnetic Field and particles contained in the Solar Wind. The HEP ends with passage through the Heliopause which is the outer extent of the Sun's Magnetic Field and Solar Wind. The thickness of the Heliosheath is uncertain and could be tens of AU thick taking several years to traverse. Passage through the Heliopause begins the Interstellar Exploration Phase (IEP) with the spacecraft operating in an interstellar wind dominated environment. This interstellar exploration is the ultimate goal of the Voyager Interstellar Mission.MareKromium

Voyagers-00.gifTowards the "Terra Incognita" (1)59 visiteInterstellar Mission - Mission Objective
The mission objective of the Voyager Interstellar Mission (VIM) is to extend the NASA exploration of the Solar System beyond the neighborhood of the outer planets to the outer limits of the Sun's sphere of influence, and possibly beyond. This extended mission is continuing to characterize the outer Solar System environment and search for the heliopause boundary, the outer limits of the Sun's magnetic field and outward flow of the solar wind. Penetration of the heliopause boundary between the solar wind and the interstellar medium will allow measurements to be made of the interstellar fields, particles and waves unaffected by the solar wind.
The VIM is an extension of the Voyager primary mission that was completed in 1989 with the close flyby of Neptune by the Voyager 2 spacecraft. Neptune was the final outer planet visited by a Voyager spacecraft. Voyager 1 completed its planned close flybys of the Jupiter and Saturn planetary systems while Voyager 2, in addition to its own close flybys of Jupiter and Saturn, completed close flybys of the remaining two gas giants, Uranus and Neptune.
At the start of the VIM, the two Voyager spacecraft had been in flight for over 12 years having been launched in August (Voyager 2) and September (Voyager 1), 1977. Voyager 1 was at a distance of approximately 40 AU (Astronomical Unit - mean distance of Earth from the Sun, 150 million kilometers) from the Sun, and Voyager 2 was at a distance of approximately 31 AU.
As of July 2007, Voyager 1 was at a distance of 15.4 Billion Kilometers (103 AU) from the sun and Voyager 2 at a distance of 12.4 Billion kilometers (83 AU).
Voyager 1 is escaping the solar system at a speed of about 3.6 AU per year, 35 degrees out of the ecliptic plane to the north, in the general direction of the Solar Apex (the direction of the Sun's motion relative to nearby stars). Voyager 2 is also escaping the solar system at a speed of about 3.3 AU per year, 48 degrees out of the ecliptic plane to the south.
Both Voyagers are headed towards the outer boundary of the solar system in search of the heliopause, the region where the Sun's influence wanes and the beginning of interstellar space can be sensed. The heliopause has never been reached by any spacecraft; the Voyagers may be the first to pass through this region, which is thought to exist somewhere from 8 to 14 billion miles from the Sun. In December 2004 Voyager 1 crossed an area known as the termination shock. This is where the million-mile-per-hour solar winds slows to about 250,000 miles per hour—the first indication that the wind is nearing the heliopause. Voyager 2 is currently observing preshock phenomena, indicating that it is close to the termination shock. The Voyagers should cross the heliopause 10 to 20 years after reaching the termination shock. The Voyagers have enough electrical power and thruster fuel to operate at least until 2020. By that time, Voyager 1 will be 12.4 billion miles (19.9 billion KM) from the Sun and Voyager 2 will be 10.5 billion miles (16.9 billion KM) away. Eventually, the Voyagers will pass other stars. In about 40,000 years, Voyager 1 will drift within 1.6 light years (9.3 trillion miles) of AC+79 3888, a star in the constellation of Ophiucius. In some 296,000 years, Voyager 2 will pass 4.3 light years (25 trillion miles) from Sirius, the brightest star in the sky . The Voyagers are destined—perhaps eternally—to wander the Milky Way.
