Dyson_Sphere_-_06.jpegThe Dyson Sphere76 visiteOn October 14, 2015, Planet Hunters' citizen scientists discovered unusual light fluctuations of the star KIC 8462852 raising press speculation that a Dyson sphere may have been discovered. However, subsequent analysis showed that the results were consistent with the presence of dust.
In 2024 there was press speculation that potential signs of interstellar Dyson spheres had been discovered.
The seven objects of interest – all located within a thousand light-years of Earth – were M-dwarfs, a class of stars that are smaller and less luminous than the Sun. However, the authors of the findings were careful not to make any overblown claims. Despite this, many media outlets picked up on the story.
Less fantastical explanations included a suggestion that the detected infrared was caused by distant dust-obscured galaxies.MareKromium

ZO-Westlake3Planets061905.jpgMercury, Venus and Saturn in the Western Sky75 visiteDa "NASA - Picture of the Day" del 24 Giugno 2005:" This weekend three planets will grace the Western Sky, forming a lovely trio easily visible shortly after sunset. Saturday evening in particular will find Saturn, Venus and Mercury all within a 2° circle (about the size of your thumb held at arm's length) above the Western Horizon. Recorded last Sunday, June 19, this image shows the same 3 planets arrayed along the ecliptic plane above a Colorado Rocky Mountain skyline. Venus is easiest to pick out of the twilight, the brightest celestial beacon below picture center, with Saturn above and to the left of Venus and Mercury closest to the horizon, right of prominent Pinnacle Peak. By Saturday, the wandering planets will draw even closer together (...)".

Spacer.jpgHappy Easter 2008! (by Giorgio Picciau)75 visiteUn Saluto ed un Augurio "UFO-Roboticamente Spaziali" di Buona Pasqua 2008, a Tutti gli Amici di Lunar Explorer Italia, da parte del bravissimo ed immaginifico "Artista del Cosmo", Giorgio Picciau!
Un grande complimento a Lui, per questa bella e romantica "Visione" che - ne siamo certi - ci riporterà tutti indietro di qualche anno, "...quando le cose erano (forse) più semplici ed i cieli (di certo) erano più limpidi".

WarmPlanetColdStar-PIA11980.jpgWarm Planet, Cold Star75 visiteThis artist's conception shows a young, hypothetical planet around a cool star. A soupy mix of potentially life-forming chemicals can be seen pooling around the base of the jagged rocks. Observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope hint that planets around cool stars — the so-called M-dwarfs and Brown dwarfs that are widespread throughout our Galaxy — might possess a different mix of life-forming, or prebiotic, chemicals than our young Earth.
Life on our Planet is thought to have arisen out of a pond-scum-like mix of chemicals. Some of these chemicals are thought to have come from a planet-forming disk of gas and dust that swirled around our young Sun. Meteorites carrying the chemicals might have crash-landed on Earth.
Astronomers don't know if these same life-generating processes are taking place around stars that are cooler than our Sun, but the Spitzer observations show their disk chemistry is different. Spitzer detected a prebiotic molecule, called Hydrogen Cyanide (Cianuro di Idrogeno), in the disks around yellow stars like our Sun, but found none around cooler, less massive, reddish stars. Hydrogen Cyanide is a carbon-containing, or organic compound. Five Hydrogen Cyanide molecules can join up to make Adenine — a chemical element of the DNA molecule found in all living organisms on Earth.MareKromium

Fake_Sunrise.jpgTotally Beautiful, but totally Fake75 visiteImmagine pubblicata sulla prestigiosa Rubrica "NASA - Astronomy Picture of the Day" il giorno 10 Ottobre 2011. Si tratta di un esempio ulteriore di come il "fake-ben-fatto" (e pure assai suggestivo) abbia un successo ed un seguito sempre più eclatanti.
Noi, che pure adoriamo il Genere "Fantasy" (al quale questa foto appartiene per non meno del 99%) umilmente, dissentiamo e diciamo che un'immagine come questa (in sè - lo ripetiamo a chiare lettere - davvero molto affascinante e particolare) meritava senz'altro un riconoscimento, ma NON quello del "NASA - Picture of the Day".
