Voices.jpgBe careful, Man...278 visite"...This Society has no centers of power and possesses no type of organization in the terrestrial sense of the term, because, although individuals do exist in some physical, yet exotic, form, there is no such thing as "individual consciousness."
Each individual "participant" (it's an ugly expression, but it's the most appropriate in this context) of this Civilization exists only as a "part of a whole"; as a portion — necessary, but not indispensable — of a "greater body" to which he or she accedes and with which he or she merges and vanishes.
I do not know whether this type of psychological and social architecture is original or whether it — somehow — derived from a series of previous "organizational experiments."
I do not know whether it is a "choice" or a "necessity."
What I do know is that this Civilization has existed for at least twenty billion Earth years, and its "consciousness," if I may call it that, extends to the edges of this Universe.
Maybe even others."

Hellas_Basin.jpgHellas Basin62 visiteCaption NASA:"What created this unusual terrain on Mars?
The floors of several Mid-Latitude craters in Hellas Basin on Mars appear unusually grooved, flat, and shallow. New radar images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter bolster an exciting hypothesis: huge glaciers of buried ice. Evidence indicates that such glaciers cover an area larger than a city and extend as much as a kilometer deep.
The ice would have been kept from evaporating into the thin Martian air by a covering of dirt. If true, this would indicate the largest volume of water ice outside of the Martian Poles, much larger than the frozen puddles recently discovered by the Phoenix Lander.
Such lake-sized ice blocks located so close to the Martian Equator might make a good drinking reservoir for future astronauts exploring Mars.
How the glaciers originally formed remains a mystery" (...).
Nota Lunexit: ATTENZIONE! Questa immagine - per bella e dettagliata che sembri o che sia - NON E' UNA FOTOGRAFIA! Essa è il risultato finale di un complesso mix di immagini reali le quali sono state riprese ed assemblate e quindi riprocessate digitalmente (vedasi, per maggiori informazioni, il "Solar System Visualization Project"). Un'opera fantastica e meritoria ed un risultato indubbiamente suggestivo ma...Questa immagine NON E' rappresentativa di una realtà specifica.
Essa è solo la ricostruzione digitale di una realtà specifica (il Bacino di Hellas), il che non è esattamente la stessa cosa...MareKromium

Andromeda.jpgIf our eyes were a CCD Camera... (Credits: Stephen Rahn - Tom Buckley-Houston)317 visiteThis is, of course, a photographic COMPOSITION, but the proportions are exact, and what we would see in the sky if the Andromeda Galaxy were bright enough, would be an object almost as wide as 7 full moons.
The Moon seen from Earth, in fact, occupies about half a degree in the sky. M31 on the other hand, over 2 million light years away, is over 3 degrees wide.MareKromium

I soli languidi dei suoi cieli annebbiati -
hanno per il mio spirito, l'incanto - dei tuoi occhi
quando brillano, offuscati..."

Huygens-Down-01.jpgHuygens' Descent to Titan: 110 Km from the Surface (credits: R. Pascal)56 visiteThe haze of Titan's Atmosphere preferently scatters blue and UltraViolet light: this is the reason why the Outer Atmosphere of Titan appears blue in some Cassini images. In reality, the effect of a blue outer atmosphere on Titan may be less prominent than on this rendered image.
This was the altitude were the main parachute was jettisoned and first surface structures came into view for Huygens' cameras.MareKromium

Huygens-Down-03.jpgHuygens' Descent to Titan: 90 Km from the Surface (credits: R. Pascal)59 visiteThe blue color of the sky slowly vanishes with decreasing distance to the Surface and is replaced by a brownish tint. Huygens is still above a layer of complex organic condensate haze, that prevents a clear view down to the Surface.MareKromium
