Earth.pngMother Earth58 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

Eyjafjallajökull-Fulle.jpgNight over Eyjafjallajökull (credits: Marco Fulle - Stromboli Online) 58 visiteWhy did the recent volcanic eruption in Iceland create so much ash? Although the large ash plume was not unparalleled in its abundance, its location was particularly noticeable because it drifted across such well populated areas.
The Eyjafjallajökull Volcano in southern Iceland began erupting on March 20, with a second eruption starting under the center of a small glacier on April 14, 2010. Neither eruption was unusually powerful. The second eruption, however, melted a large amount of glacial ice which then cooled and fragmented lava into gritty glass particles that were carried up with the rising Volcanic Plume.
Pictured above, lightning bolts illuminate ash pouring out of the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano.MareKromium

The_Milky_Way.jpgOn the shoulder of Giants...57 visite"...Quante volte ho atteso le ore del crepuscolo per poter confondere i Colori del mio Cuore con i colori dell'Orizzonte.
Quante volte?
E quante volte ho provato a scrivere i Versi dell'Infinito?
Ed ad ascoltarne i Suoni?
Ed a tramandarne le Storie?
Quante volte ho afferrato un frammento della Verità senza poterlo condividere, poichè elusivo, effimero e, in fondo, troppo distante da quello che ognuno di noi (ed io stesso, come qualsiasi altro) è disposto ad accettare?
Quante volte mi sono visto ai Confini del Mondo, solo, solo con i miei pensieri, ad osservare, nel silenzio dell'Anima, l'alba ed il tramonto di Soli troppo grandi e troppo distanti dal mio Sole?..."

Aurora_Borealis.jpgAurora Borealis over Chena Lakes57 visiteCaption NASA:"Sometimes, after your eyes adapt to the dark, a spectacular sky appears. In this case, a picturesque lake lies in front of you, beautiful green aurora flap high above you, brilliant stars shine far in the distance, and, for a brief moment, a bright meteor streaks by. This digitally fused breathtaking panorama was captured late last month across one of the Chena Lakes in North Pole, Alaska, USA, and includes the Pleiades open cluster of stars on the image right. The shot is unusual not only for the many wonders it has captured simultaneously, but because lakes this far north tend to freeze and become non-reflecting before a sky this dark can be photographed".MareKromium

The-MoonSlide.jpgFrom Light, to Light (by Stefan Seip)57 visiteCaption NASA:"No special filters - or even a telescope - are required to enjoy a leisurely Lunar Eclipse. In fact, watched from all over the night side of planet Earth, these regular celestial performances have entertained many casual skygazers.
Still, this eye-catching picture of a Lunar Eclipse may look unfamiliar.
To make it, astroimager Stefan Seip set his camera on a tripod and locked the shutter open during the Total Lunar Eclipse of March 3, 2007.
The resulting image records the trail of the Moon (and narrower trails of stars) sliding through the night. Reddish hues common during the total phase of a Lunar Eclipse, are evident along the darker, slimmer portion of the Moon trail. (...)".MareKromium
