OPP-SOL709-2.jpgAnomalous Object in-transit during Solar Eclipse - Sol 709 (credits: Dr Marco Faccin)58 visiteL'oggetto che "scintilla", per un istante, nel frame n. 7 del GIF-Movie realizzato dal Dr Faccin è irrisolvibile (nonostante gli sforzi), ma esiste.
Si tratta di un OVNI, forse?
O è solo un image-artifact?
O forse è una Sonda NASA che sta passando - casualmente - nei paraggi?
Probabilmente, una risposta a questo quesito non l'avremo mai...MareKromium

Comets-Comet_Tuttle_and_M33.jpgComet 8-P/Tuttle and M-3358 visiteCaption NASA:"This gorgeous galaxy and comet portrait was recorded on December 30th, 2007, in the skies over Hoogeveen (NL). The combined series of 60-by-60" exposures finds the lovely green coma of Comet 8P/Tuttle near its predicted conjunction with the Triangulum Galaxy.
Aligning each exposure with the stars shows the comet as a streak, slowly moving against the background stars and galaxy. An alternative composition with exposures centered on the comet, shows the background stars and galaxy as streaks.
The alluring celestial scene would also have been a rewarding one for the influential 18th Century comet hunter Charles Messier. While Messier scanned French skies for comets, he carefully cataloged positions of things which were fuzzy and comet-like in appearance but did not move against the background stars and so were definitely not comets. The Triangulum Galaxy, also known as M-33, is the 33rd object in his famous not-a-comet catalog.
The modern understanding holds that the Triangulum Galaxy is a large spiral galaxy some 3 MLY distant. Comet 8P/Tuttle, just bright enough to be visible to the unaided eye in dark, Northern Skies, is about 40 MKM (such as 2 LM - Light Minutes) away".MareKromium

SOL1422-2P252603427EFFAX00P2265L2M1-2.jpgThe "Anvil" - Sol 1422 (extra-detail mgnf; credits: Dr Gianluigi Barca)58 visiteL'incudine: in questa versione fortemente magnificata, la bizzarria del dettaglio può essere colta senza sforzi.
La nostra opinione (non esotica) è che si tratti di quello che rimane di una struttura stratificata più complessa la quale è stata "limata, molata e, in parte spazzata via" dai venti che soffiano su Gusev Crater. Insomma: un esempio - ravvicinatissimo - di mini-Yardang (o "wind-work", come lo chiamano scherzosamente alla NASA).
Un grande complimento al Dr Barca per l'occhio e la costante dedizione!MareKromium

ZO-Mercury01_Messenger.jpgApproaching Mercury58 visiteDa "NASA - Picture of the Day", del 16 Gennaio 2008:"Two days ago, the MESSENGER Spacecraft became only the second in Human History to swoop past Mercury. The last spacecraft to visit the Sun's closest Planet was Mariner 10, over 35 years ago.
Mariner 10 was not able to photograph Mercury's entire surface, and the images it did send back raised many questions. Therefore, much about planet Mercury remains unknown. This week's MESSENGER flyby was only the first of three. Over the next few years MESSENGER will swing past Mercury twice more and finally orbit in 2011, but MESSENGER is currently moving too fast to enter orbit around Mercury now.
This image was taken by MESSENGER two days ago upon approach to Mercury.
Many detailed images of Mercury are expected to be sent back over the next few days. The data acquired by MESSENGER will help better understand how Mercury's surface was formed, and why it is so dense".MareKromium

ZO-Mercury03_Messenger-208855main_half_merc_350.jpgCrescent Mercury58 visiteAs NASA’s MESSENGER neared Mercury on January 14, 2008, the Spacecraft took this image of the Planet’s full crescent.
The image shows portions of Mercury previously seen by Mariner 10, but when Mariner 10 flew by the Planet at each of its encounters, the Sun was nearly overhead. For this MESSENGER flyby, in contrast, the Sun is shining obliquely on Regions near the day/night boundary (called the Terminator) on the right-hand side of the crescent, revealing the surface topography.
This image illustrates how MESSENGER, during its future flybys and subsequent orbital mission, will teach scientists much about the portion of Mercury already imaged by Mariner 10.MareKromium
