TheCrescentMoon-GIF-080406_0939-46.gifYoung Moon (GIF-Movie; credits: Laurent Laveder)57 visiteCaption NASA, da "NASA - Picture of the Day" del giorno 11 Aprile 2008:"At first, he couldn't see it, but searching with binoculars along a cloudy western horizon near Sunset, photographer Laurent Laveder finally spotted a delicate Lunar Crescent. Captured in this dramatic picture on April 6th, 2008, from Bretagne, France, the Moon was only 15 h. and 38' old.
Its slight, irregular, sunlit arc opens upward just above the dark cloud bank near picture center. Of course, a crescent Moon in the early evening sky is a lovely sight often enjoyed by many. But finding the Moon when its slim crescent is still less than about 24 hours past the New Moon phase requires careful timing and planning, a challenging project even for experienced observers.
In this sighting, only about 0,8% of the Moon's disk appears illuminated.
Laveder notes that this is the youngest Moon he has spotted in 20 years of skygazing".MareKromium

Lost.jpgLost...57 visiteWandering through the Evening Sky, on May 4th, 2008, Planet Mars stood in line with Castor and Pollux, the two bright stars of the constellation Gemini.
In this time exposure of the celestial alignment, Mars actually takes on a distinct yellowish hue, contrasting in color with Pollux; a giant star known to have a Jupiter-class planet, and Castor; itself a multiple Star System.
Though in mythology Pollux and Castor are twin brothers, the two stars are physically unrelated and are about 34 and 50 LY distant respectively.
Included in the skyview are Procyon, alpha star of Canis Minor, and famous star cluster M44, also known as the Beehive Cluster. Dust in our own Solar System reflecting sunlight creates the faint band of Zodiacal Light emerging from the lower right corner of the frame. Just put your cursor over the picture for help with identifications.
Of course, bright Mars can still be found in the western evening skies and tonight wanders near the crescent Moon.MareKromium

The_Moon_and_the_Pleiades.jpgFragments of the Infinite57 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..."
P.C. Floegers - "Poesie"
