DevilsTower-jpg.JPGDevils Tower54 visiteUna bellissima immagine della Via Lattea mentre fa capolino su una montagna famosissima: la Torre del Diavolo (Devil's Tower - Wyoming - USA - resa famosa dal film "Incontri Ravvicinati del III Tipo").
Coglo l'occasione fornitami da questo splendido frame per Salutare, a nome di Tutti i Partner, i Soci e gli Amici di Lunar Explorer Italia, il nostro nuovo Amico e Compagno di Viaggio, il Dr Stefano Cicetti, Curatore del bellissimo Sito "IRGENDWO" (http : / / stefanocicetti.blogspot.com /).
Questa dedica va a suggellare un'Amicizia nata sulle onde dei commenti e degli scambi dialettici intercorsi fra il Dr Cicetti ed il sottoscritto, sempre sulle pagine del summenzionato Sito (che viene aggiornato con cadenza quasi quotidiana e che Vi invito di Cuore a visitare, non appena Vi sentirete con lo Spirito giusto per andare "da qualche parte" - Irgendwo, in Lingua Tedesca, appunto).
Perchè andare "da qualche parte"? Perchè, come dice il Buon Stefano :"...Siamo sempre da qualche parte. Solo che la mente e il cuore ci arrivano prima. Sono dannatamente più rapidi dei nostri piedi...".
Ed anche delle nostre Astronavi, naturalmente.
Un Saluto al Dr Cicetti e Benvenuto nella nostra (piccola) Galassia!
Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunar Explorer Italia - Presidente e Socio Fondatore

FaithFullMoon090409_westlake.jpgObscuring the Moon...54 visiteCaption NASA:"October's bright Full Moon is also known as the "Harvest Moon".
Traditionally, the Harvest Moon is the Full Moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox. But in this snapshot, the Full Moon could be called the "Old Faith-Full Moon".
Taken on September 4, 2009, the picture combines the regularly occurring lunar phase with Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park, named for its dependable eruptions.
Shining on the well-known geyser's towering pillar from behind, the moonlight creates an eerie halo surrounding convoluted shapes.
Faithfully, the Full Moon itself is bright enough to be seen through the dense swirling steam near the top".MareKromium

Earth.pngMother Earth54 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) 54 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

LunarEclipses.jpgEclipses...53 visiteCaption NASA, da "NASA - Picture of the Day", del 29 Febbraio 2008:"Welcome to the extra day in the Gregorian Calendar's leap year 2008! To celebrate, consider this grid of lunar eclipse pictures - starting in leap year 1996 and ending with February's eclipse - with the date in numerical year/month/day format beneath each image. Mostly based on visibility from a site in Turkey, the 3x4 matrix includes 11 of the 13 total lunar eclipses during that period, and fills out the grid with the partial lunar eclipse of September 2006. Still, as the pictures are at the same scale, they illustrate a noticeable variation in the apparent size of the eclipsed Moon caused by the real change in Earth-Moon distance around the Moon's elliptical orbit. The total phases are also seen to differ in color and darkness. Those effects are due to changes in cloud cover and dust content in the atmosphere reddening and refracting sunlight into Earth's shadow. Of course, the next chance to add a total lunar eclipse to this grid will come at the very end of the decade".MareKromium

Lost.jpgLost...53 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
