Can you see a galaxy with binoculars?
Binoculars are an excellent choice for beginners to observe the Andromeda galaxy, because they are so easy to point.
As you stand beneath a dark sky, locate the galaxy with your eye first, then slowly bring the binoculars up to your eyes so that the galaxy comes into binocular view..
Can you use binoculars to see planets?
Although a small telescope is needed to see Saturn’s rings, you can use your binoculars to see Saturn’s beautiful golden color. … Some planets are squarely binocular and telescope targets. If you’re armed with a finder chart, two of them, Uranus and Neptune, are easy to spot in binoculars.
What is the closest galaxy to the Milky Way?
Andromeda galaxyThe Andromeda galaxy is the closest big galaxy to our Milky Way. At 2.5 million light-years, it’s the most distant thing you can see with the eye alone.
What magnification do you need to see planets?
Experienced planetary observers use 20x to 30x per inch of aperture to see the most planetary detail. Double-star observers go higher, up to 50x per inch (which corresponds to a ½-mm exit pupil). Beyond this, telescope magnification power and eye limitations degrade the view.
Can you see Saturn’s rings with a telescope?
The rings of Saturn should be visible in even the smallest telescope at 25x [magnified by 25 times]. A good 3-inch scope at 50x [magnified by 50 times] can show them as a separate structure detached on all sides from the ball of the planet.
Can you see Saturn’s moons with binoculars?
Saturn has several moons but only one, Titan, is visible using binoculars and only large ones of at least 60mm aperture.
What planets will be visible in 2020?
Jupiter and Saturn are the planets to watch as darkness falls in August 2020. They are near one another on the sky’s dome, with Saturn following Jupiter westward across the sky from dusk/nightfall until the wee hours of the morning.
Which eyepiece is best for viewing planets?
The 40mm focal length eyepiece (low power eyepiece) is perfect for observing nebula star clusters while the 32mm focal length eyepiece (medium power eyepiece) can help you see planets, surfaces of the moon and bright star clusters. The 6.3mm focal length eyepiece has the highest magnification.
What magnification do I need to see the rings of Saturn?
Saturn’s rings should be visible in even the smallest telescope at a magnification of 25 times. A good 3-inch scope at 50x magnification will show the rings as distinctly separate from the ball of the planet. The rings are currently tilted about 19° from our line of sight, less than in recent years.


The company plans to use carbon nanontubes, which are 20 times stronger than steel, to produce the cables required for the elevator. Those cables will be stretched to a counterweight 96,000 kilometers above our planet, about one-fourth of the distance between the Earth and the moon.
The terminal station, 36,000 kilometers above Earth, will be reached by cars that can carry 30 people and travel at 200 kilometers per hour. An Obayashi official said:
"At this moment, we cannot estimate the cost for the project. However, we'll try to make steady progress so that it won't end just up as simply a dream."

It has been 50 years since man first walked on the moon.
NASA expert and space historian Rod Pyle will join WTYM morning show host David Croyle this morning to talk about what it was like 50 years ago.
“I was 12 (years old) at the time. The great thing about that was, we were young enough to be awed by it and old enough to be thrilled and really understand why this was important,” Pyle said in a pre-interview. “If I had been in my twenties or thirties when that was happening, I would have felt like by not being an astronaut, I’d have missed the greatest adventure in human history. But because I was only 12, I was too young to be an astronaut, so it’s ok.”
Pyle has written several books on the Apollo missions. His former employment at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Johnson Space Center has created opportunities for him to work on National Geographic specials and documentaries on the History Channel and Discovery.
“I look back to the lunar landing and I think to myself, I can barely believe that they pulled this off,” Pyle said. “When you look at the technology of that time, we were just getting off vacuum tubes for electronics and into transistors. It was a big deal to have a 9-volt battery-powered radio in your pocket that you could actually listen to portable music – that was a new thing. And there were so many things that were just turning the corner technologically, and yet we managed to send people to the moon, to lunar landing, six times. And, that’s pretty breath-taking!”
It has been many years since the U.S. focused on the moon. But Pyle said interest in space travel is back in focus.
“From the time Obama came into office and the Shuttle got cancelled, there has been a slow build towards human flight to Mars. They were still trying to build the SLS – Space Launch Vehicle/System – NASA’s mega-booster capsule, but it was happening very slowly, without really a specific target. There was talk of an asteroid mission that got canned pretty fast. And, then Trump came into office and said, ‘Ok, enough of this – NASA what do you want to do?” He reactivated the National Space Council, which is a group that serves under the president and interfaces with NASA to help with long-term planning. They decided to go back to the moon, figuring it will help us get to Mars. It’ll help us understand how to better live and work in deep space, deal with radiation problems, and deal with the uncertainties of another world. So that was for 2028. But Vice President Pence came to the podium a few months ago and said, ‘No, we’re going to do it by 2024, which coincides of course with the end of his second term. So, in general, that’s good news. It was a little shocking. Europeans weren’t quite ready for it. They were supposed to be partners on this moon venture, so they hadn’t been told in advance as near as I could tell.”
Pyle said we are not any more ready to go to the moon today than we were 50 years ago.
“Are we ready? And the answer is, No. We’ve got a lot of work to do, very quickly. We need a lunar lander. We haven’t built moon suits for 50 years. So a lot of components that need to come together, but the difference between this time and Apollo is private industry is geared up. Companies are building rockets on their own dime, and they’re going to step up and help fill these gaps.”
Pyle said that when the government invests in the space program, it has an economic return.
“About $14 came out of every dollar spent on the Apollo program. And that happens in space flight in general, so it’s one of the few things where government money goes right back directly into the economy in terms of workers and companies. Almost all of it’s done in the United States.”
Pyle’s book, “First on the Moon: The Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Edition” is now available at pylebook.com. Join the conversation today at 9:05 on WTYM AM 1380 & FM 103.7.

I was recently asked to photograph a friends Corvette. I invisioned trying to pull off what I had seen done over at Strobist, where I had watched this video at You Tube. Looked easy enough, so off we all went to a dark and empty lot.
Taking specific images, of the front, side, and interior for each “pose”, I then layred them up in Photoshop. Added a reflection to some, and then made the Three view image below. Thanks Strobist!!!

Think about making the biggest possible final sale before you even shoot!
Recently, I found myself returning to my old haunt of DownEast Maine. I was there (both) attending and shooting a wedding in the warm spring sun. The weather could not have been better, the family could not have been more welcoming. Everything was great. Shooting in the direct sun was a bit troubling, but not impossible.
The point of todays post is that I remembered some great advice as I drove five hours to the wedding. This advice is that we should shoot as if we are trying to make (and sell) the biggest package possible. Portraits are a no-brainer, but what about mail out cards, thank you mailings, wedding albums, ect? Thinking about what you need to make the most possible items is the way that I treat every event that I now photograph.
The only images that we can't sell are the ones that we don't take.
Here are some details from this wedding. I am posting these images mostly because they are at every wedding, and observing them will pay off. Plus I just loved the “Dead head” grooms cake.

Lastnight, I was invited to observe the night sky with a new friend of mine named Wayne. I jumped at the chance, as I love all things photography. Little did I know just how mind blowing this night would be. Please take a moment and check out his site, HERE, and look at his awesome images before returning back here.
Wayne had informed me about his “cameras" before. These cameras are unlike anything that I have ever come across. They do not look like cameras at all. These computer operated sensors attach to his giant telescope, and record, over time, what the telescope is pointed at. Long exposures are requried most of the time due to faint light sources of objects very far away. This requires that his telescope “track” the object that is being photographed. This is done, via more computers and a vast knowledge base of both the night sky, and the operating systems of the necessary equipment. Lucky for us Wayne has both.
The digital “super cameras” that are designed to image the night sky through a telescope require cooling systems, capture images in black and white, and come with a steep learning curve. Wayne shoots his images in a series of many. By using different colored filters (red, blue, and green) he gets “color” images. Let me just say that one must really want to take amazing images to go through all of this work.
However, these super digital cameras were not the evenings “event cameras”, as Wayne decided to go with a new Nikon digital SLR for taking long exposure images through his gigantic telescope. This was the first time that Wayne would be attaching his Nikon digital SLR to his telescope, and we were curious about how they might turn out. Would this set up even work? How would the focusing work, and what settings should one even use for this image process? Great questions, simple method for finding out the answers. We would try, and see what we get.
How is this? This image of the Orion Nebula was one of the evenings first images. Not bad, eh? Way to go Wayne!
The above image was at iso 200, taken for about 3 or 4 minutes, with the telescope locked on (or tracking) the nebula.
The night was spent looking back in time, through his telescope, and looking at objects that I never though I would see with mine own eyes. I saw Saturn through the telescope, so good infact that it looked like a fake cut out. The rings were visable as was the shaddow of the rings on the planet itself. We saw some of Saturns moons as well, and I enjoyed this paticular evening like none other.
A very large thanks goes out to Wayne for inviting me and working feverishly through the night so that I could see the sky. I am so thankful, and I will be forever anxious to return.

Digital cameras can be awesome when used as a professional tool. However, as an artistic tool they can leave us unhappy.
Point is that with long exposures digital cameras can contaminate our images with noise and such artifacts, and the batteries do not last as long as we wish they would.
With that said, here is another image that I took while in Arizona. The star trails stop short due to battery life, but what can we do.

This image was taken just after sunset, as a long exposure. I “painted in” this cactus using a flashlight. The light had a “gridded snoot” on it as well, just to make sure that two things did not happen. The first thing is that I didn't want to expose the ground, and second, I didn't want to expose the flashlight tip in the image.
More images and information about how I got them to come soon!

As digital photographers, we have all gone through the learning curves associated with our gear and the software. I often times try to use this knowledge for new and interesting ideas. One such idea is to re-touch older images, using Photoshop.
I like to actually take an image of the photograph that needs re-touching, at the beginning of the project. This is better than most scans that I could make because the raw file from the camera will be massive in size. Make sure to pay attention to the white balance to ensure color correction is as perfect as you can get it. I like to use two flashes set at 45 degree angles to the print, by the way.
Next, make the time to select and then try out the right tools for the edits you need to make. For example, cloning (with the clone tool) may work for some details, but not others.
Re-creating any the lost detail is the hardest part of the process. I like to lean on my art background as much as possible, just to make sure that all of the little things look right.

Being a male, I had no idea what to do for this Valentines Day image session.
What I ended up doing came to me at the very last second, just before the shoot. I took a large peice of white paper, and folded it in half. Cutting out half of a heart, I then opened it to reveal a whole heart. Then, I cut out four more smaller hearts, the exact same way.
Next, I placed a red Honl gel onto a Nikon SB28 flash, placed it behind the cut out, and then dialed it in.
Lastly, I lit the child with two other Nikon SB28 flashes, one high and to the left in a small softbox, and one low and to the left with a grid and snoot on it.

Although the exploration of space has long preoccupied authors and filmmakers, the development of an actual space program, discoveries about the true nature of space, and critical reconsiderations of America's frontier experiences have challenged and complicated conventional portrayals of humans in space. This volume reexamines the themes of space and the frontier in science fiction in light.

Professor Astro Cat’s Frontiers of Space comes from the treasure chest of British indie children’s book press Flying Eye Books, which also gave us that sweet celebration of connection and inner softness, the delightful field guide of mythic monsters, and the illustrated chronicle of Shackleton’s historic polar expedition. (Melville House) Journalist Peter Ward's book The Consequential Frontier: Challenging the Privatization of Space provides more evidence of what's right about the privatization of space than.

I’ve started to write this at 06:53, standing at the bus stop waiting for the # 59. The sky to the east is lightening, although it will be a good 45 minutes before it’s light enough to read by.
I thought I saw Venus. Turns out it was an incoming flight to Helsinki ;). It got me thinking though: as a child, growing up in Flowerpot, Venus was a familiar site in the early morning sky.
Living in the country there was no light pollution to hide the night sky, and let me tell you the Milky Way is something else to behold. Shooting stars, satellites, Aurora Australis: we saw it all.
I miss it. While I live in a quiet part of town, it’s still bright out there and it’s not often I get to see the stars anymore.
Which brings me back to my original question: where is Venus?

It just so happens that the Space Shuttle’s return trajectory takes it directly over my home, here in Orlando. Each time, it passes overhead, early in the morning, I am suddenly jolted awake by two loud bangs. The sonic booms rattle the windows of my old house and scare the cat. On every one of those occasions I smile briefly, roll over in bed and fall back to sleep, content. I am content not only in knowing that a group of fellow human beings is now once again safe on mother earth but also content in the knowledge that there is another group of brave people still in space. Like most Americans, I find immense inspiration in manned space flight. I believe that the trip to the moon was, hands down, humanities greatest achievement. I am sorry to see the Shuttle program come to an end, which is why it is hard for me to admit that I also believe that the decision to end the shuttle program was the right thing to do. Because of this emotional conflict, I will let my robot counterpart, Crank-o-Matic 3000 explain my reasons. See Crank-o-matic 3000 is just like me, only it lacks sentiment circuits.
Crank-o-Matic, why do you believe the ending of the Shuttle program is a good thing?
Crank-o-Matic : “BEEP, BEEP*, The United States Space Transportation System (STS) primary mission was to transport and assemble components of the International Space Station in earth orbit. This goal has been achieved. The Shuttle’s nearly 40 year old technology (it was designed in the 60’s) is now highly inefficient for just transporting humans, to and from space, BLURP.
Following WW1 the US government offered a number of financial incentives to private companies to nurture growth in civilian air flight technology. This included awarding private companies contracts for transporting airmail and sponsoring design competitions to fill niche markets. Companies were encouraged to design planes that could fly in freezing weather or land on water. This led directly to today’s modern aviation industry, BING, WHIZZ. The US is now employing this same strategy to spur the space industry and help develop the next generation of space transportation vehicles. History suggests that this is the most effectual way to move unworthy humans beings into space, VERRRR, CLICK*.
Although, an unemotional analysis shows that sending humans into space is highly inefficient for gathering information, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP. Compare the scientific achievements of the manned Apollo Program with that of the sexier Voyager probes, REEEERRRRR, CLICK*. While Apollo helped solidify theories concerning the composition, and evolution of earth’s moon, the sweet little Voyager twins racked up countless more discoveries, PING, PING, PING! Those hot little robots gave the first glimpse of Jupiter's turbulent atmosphere with giant hurricane-like storm systems. The probes discovered erupting volcanoes on Lo. They photographed evidence of a liquid ocean beneath the cracked icy crust of Europa and gave us a clear view of the fine structures of Saturn's rings. They photographed geysers erupting from the polar cap of Triton and let’s not forget that Pale Blue Dot photo, YEAH BABY.
All from a mission that was a fraction of the cost of Apollo, with its precious little human cargo, with their pathetic squishy bodies. Zero gravity makes my bones brittle. I can’t breathe in a vacuum. Oh, Gama radiation burns. What a bunch of crybabies! At least now the money that the Shuttle was sucking up will go to some real science, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP. WHIRRRRR, KILL ALL HUMANS!”
Ok, I had to turn off Crank-o-Matic 3000. It got a little crazy there. Getting back to my original train of thought, I’m going to miss the Shuttle. Not for its many achievements (The ISS and Hubble alone testify to that) but because of the inspiration which that elegant vehicle generated in each of us. Without the human experience, knowledge alone (as fascinating as it is) is not worth much.
This morning I heard that double boom once again. This time though, instead of a feeling of happiness and contentment, I felt a little pang of sorrow. I know there are still people in space but something is missing. An old friend was saying its last goodbyes. Forgetting all the reason and all the logic, I truly am sorry to see the shuttle go. I’ll miss it.


Making an Integrated Surface Brightness Profile
As you can tell, figure 2 does not have any data points. It is simply a model of how the brightness of the galaxy falls off with distance. (The reason the curve doesn't fall off is because of the integrated nature of the plot. It is cummulative, so at every radius you are seeing all the light emitted from inside that radius. This was done to make our data consistent with the masses we find using Newton's equations.)
The plot is really a curve. The equation that describes the curve is:
, where h=3.8 kpc, and Σ0=6.725 x 107 solar luminosities/kpc2.
What do h and Σ0 stand for?
h is some scale height.
Σ0 is the peak surface brightness at the center of the galaxy.
What does that mean?
Let's start from the beginning.
You have your galaxy, NGC 2742:
Obviously, it gets dimmer towards the edge. We are dealing with surface brightness here, which is how much light comes from some area of the galaxy. It is typically assumed that surface brightness can be modeled with a decaying exponential. That means that going out one particular radius, the brightness in each same sized area patch dims as you move outwards. It starts from some high point, Σ0. The point at which it's decayed to 1/e of it's orginal value is the radius h (the scale height). Mathematically, we say:
To create our integrated surface brightness profile, we need to integrate that function over radius. Since we're taking account all the brightness inside, we also need to take into account the fact that the galaxy is a disk. That means integrating over the entire circle (thus the 2πr in the below integral).
If you know more math than I do, you will see that this can be integrated by parts and the result is:
(Sorry about all the math, that's just the easiest way to explain the curve in this case.)
In particular, Σ0 comes from the fact that we assume the absolute magnitude
of the center of every spiral galaxy is -21.7 mags/as2. This seems odd, but it
has been noticed through repetitive observation that the center of
spiral galaxies are all quite close
to the same surface brightness (see Persic and Salucci, 1988 if you don't believe me). You need to convert magnitudes to surface brightness
units and arc seconds to kpc. Since the value is an absolute magnitude, that means
it's the brightness 10 pc away. I'll leave as an exercise for the student using
the magnitude equation to convert magnitudes to luminosities, and using the small
angle approximation to convert arc seconds to kpcs. I did get tripped up on the units
the first time I did it.
Persic, M., Salucci, P. 1988, MNRAS, 234, 131
It sounds like you cheated
Yep, we took the easy way out. Andrew West claims that you could use pictures from
the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)
to create a surface brightness profile. While I admit that it wouldn't be hard to
just plot how the brightness falls off with area (thereby getting real values for
our two parameters), it would be a trigonometric mess to try to photometrically integrate over the
concentric rings to find an integrated surface brightness profile. There might be
some simple trick that aleviates the problem I'm talking about. Anyways, it was
reasonably easy to look on NED
to find the reference mentioned above.


Space Apps Challenge: students have 48 hours to develop applications using space data.
Article courtesy of: https://spaceq.ca/space-apps-challenge-bring-in-more-than-425-canadian-participants/
One of the first place winners is Rome Ramos, Son of Emil Ramos a co-founder of IRIS!
Canadian space geeks came together during a weekend earlier this month (Oct. 19 to 21) to hack, chat and create space apps that got the attention of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and NASA.
More than 425 participants across the country took place in the 2018 International Space Apps Challenge, which uses space-based open data for applications that can be used on Earth. NASA had six challenges open and for the second consecutive year, the CSA had its own open data challenges for Canadians, too. These Canadian ones included:
CSA experts were also on hand all weekend to answer questions, through a dedicated Slack channel for participants – who came from the cities of Edmonton, Winnipeg, Kitchener-Waterloo, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. Finalists were selected from each city and will have the chance to speak virtually with one of Canada’s four astronauts.


Last night we watched the Perseid meteor shower from the bench at Owen’s Garden. Lying on our backs, our gazes fixated upwards, we waited for the light to journey across the starry night sky. It was calming. It was peaceful. It was beautiful.
Lost in the sky, I marvelled at the beauty of the universe, in awe of the magic we were watching unfold above us. I thought of Owen. With each thought and moment appreciated, I know this experience was shared with our son. There is so much we do not understand, but this I have to believe is true.
As I ponder the universe, I cannot help but question the uncertainty of it all. Every day, my thoughts wander from beauty to confusion to fairness. The same thoughts that always lead to the same word. A word that when uttered, forms a perplexing, unanswerable question. A word I will always carry with me. Why.
I am not particularly pious, nor do I belong to any organized faith, but I have always believed in something. When I was pregnant, I was engulfed with what can only be described as a blind faith. I have always assumed that if you were a good person, and did everything as you should, that things would work out for you. I was innocent and naive. I did not know any better, nor did I have reason to believe otherwise. I am now seemingly without faith. I just cannot understand how the world works. How terrible things can happen to good people. There is just so much we do not understand. It isn’t fair. The universe is at once beautiful and complex.
Sometimes you have to stop the thoughts from ruminating. So I did. I stopped the relentless questioning from sending me into darkness. Instead, I watched and appreciated the dance of the meteors as they graced the night sky. I thought of my son. I thought of his friends. I named a star for each of them. As I whispered the names to each star, a tear escaped, set free for lives that have made the world a brighter place.
As I lay there, my focus would stray, yet always return to one star. My light in the dark. My Owen Benjamin.

NASA’s New Horizons Mission Operations Manager (MOM), Alice Bowman, has led her team of about 40 scientists in piloting the spacecraft that made the historic Pluto flyby in 2015 and captured the most high-resolution images of the dwarf planet to date. In hopes of spreading her love of science to young students, Bowman will be speaking at the InfoAge Science History Learning Center in Wall Township from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 24.
The New Horizons mission was one among many to be proposed to NASA with the main focus of reaching and exploring Pluto. While many others were not approved or shut down, New Horizons had a more simplistic approach with a lightweight spacecraft and a small team that helped it achieve success.
Starting with the exploration of planets, Bowman will be speaking about how NASA decided to shoot for Pluto and the technological and engineering elements that were necessary to get there. She will also be speaking about the next steps for the New Horizon mission, which was extended after the Pluto flyby to explore further into the Kuiper Belt, the region where Pluto resides. This includes the preparation of different flyby sequences for another Kuiper Belt Object that the spacecraft will be exploring. Bowman said she might also speak about the historic photos returned from the mission, which she describes as being “absolutely stunning, definitely art.”
Like most young people, Alice Bowman had a wide variety of interests and while she says space exploration was one of her first loves, she didn’t know this was the career she would pursue. Her interest in space, particularly the engineering aspects, was sparked by the space missions she grew up learning about: Gemini, Mercury and Apollo.
“That wonder you have as a child, it sort of spurred me on to pursue something like that,” Bowman said.
She offers advice to young girls who have fallen in love with science the way she did: “Understand that you will have tough periods … but the important thing is, if you’re really interested in that field of study, that you work your way through it and understand that you may not be perfect but keep pursuing that dream.”
Bowman has been speaking to audiences of students ranging from third-graders to university students, and she hopes to see more young people at InfoAge on Saturday afternoon.
Tickets can be purchased online for $15 at infoage.org/bowman. Registration ends Feb. 23.

Are there any big payoffs that would provide incentive for private industry to explore Mars? Not that we know of yet. Although Elon Musk has said he is interested in going to Mars, and the as yest unbuilt Falcon Heavy rocket has significant payload capabilities, the financial incentive of sending people to Mars is far outweighed by the costs of such a trip. Thinking of space exploration in baby steps might be a better path. Start from Earth, build a space station, build a moon station and harvest fuel there. Then build your Mars launchpad on the Moon (with much less gravity to overcome). We also should be able to orbit asteroid for harvesting. If all that happens in the 50 years that would be remarkable.
A good article on some of the challenges in exploring Mars was posted here. It’s pretty thorough and an enjoyable read.
This piece from a paper in Houston puts some perspective on the comments made by Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan about SpaceX. The comments down below show some disagreement by space enthusiasts about who’s right. I’d say not knowing SpaceX’s financial backers makes me somewhat curious as to their motives, but not to the point where I distrust them. I think Cernan and Armstrong are right to wonder how SpaceX is going to generate funds and if their launch manifests remain full how soon will they be a profitable business. Cernan and Armstrong come from a time where NASA had its focus on doing new challenges for the sake of science and political impact (Kennedy wanted the moon landing). Now space exploration comes from a business that wants to make it profitable, not necessarily cheap, though it may be cheaper than NASA could do.

NOVA is dedicated to the musical interpretation of space, time and science-fiction. The music is the trio’s idea of how planets, suns, galaxies and the vastness of the universe might sound. All compositions are either musical translations of historic science-fiction novels or inspired by the unbelievable astronomical dimensions and phenomena. During the live performances the songs are illustrated by visual projections, taking the audience on a fantastic journey. In July 2020 the band recorded their second album and presented it live with a very special concert series called The Observatory Tour.
This tour takes NOVA to observatories and planetariums in Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. The program has two parts. After hearing the band’s performance the audience, astronomers and the band itself watch the stars together, asking questions and discussing about the possible and impossible. Art, music and science brought together in an exceptional manner.
The Observatory Tour will continue with more shows in planetariums and astronomical observatories in 2021.


In the world of the ancient Maya there were many sacred days, most often associated with celestial events. But none perhaps more widely celebrated than the Spring and Fall Equinox at the ancient site of Chichén Itza in central Yucatan.
Each year thousands of pilgrims and curiosity seekers flock to the nearly six square miles of national park ruins to watch a phenomena that was carefully mapped by ancient architects and astronomers. On the day of both the vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox (and several days leading up to and after the events), afternoon sunlight bathes the western balustrade of the El Castillo pyramid's main stairway causing seven isosceles triangles to form and create a shadow that imitates the body of a 120 foot long rattlesnake that creeps downwards until it joins a huge serpent's head at the bottom of the stairway.
Dominating the center of Chichén Itza and the center stage for this event is the remarkable Temple of Kukulcan (the Maya name for Quetzalcoatl), often referred to as "El Castillo" (the castle). Great sculptures of Plumed Serpents run down the sides of the northern staircase, and are set off by shadows from the corner tiers on the Spring and Fall equinox.
This twice-annual spectacle is said to have captured the hearts and imaginations of the Maya and Toltec people who once inhabited this robust ancient city.
On the day of spring and fall equinox, thousands watch the snake descend
Art depicting the Plummed Serpent God
Scholars believe certain rites of agriculture may have been the basis for the design and concept. A few argue that the importance of celestial events to the Maya was the primary reason the complicated shadow system was developed.
Regardless the reason, still they come, new agers who travel from all over the world to witness the grand shadow dance of the sacred serpent, local descendants of the Maya who come because they always have, scholars and curiosity seekers, historians, anthropologists, astronomers -- all with a sense of awe at the complexity of the architecture and design and the depth of Maya understanding of the Cosmos.
Life scientists believe the exact celestial calculations required to create the effect are a demonstration of the Maya's extreme aptitude for astronomy and the cosmology of deep space. Most of the secrets of the ancient Maya scholars are still lost to modern science. How these people, who lived in a world where not even the invention of the wheel had been introduced into their social structure, could have been so well versed in art and science is a major stumbling block for those who trying to put together the puzzle of these ancient and elusive indigenous people. What secrets remain buried in the Central American jungles? Why did the Maya, and later the Toltec, abandon their great cities, like Chichen Itza, Tikal, Palenque, Uxmal, Copan?
Perhaps it is this underlying mystery of a people that we know only a little about that drives us to the need for a greater understanding. Perhaps that's why multitudes flock each spring and fall to the this ancient site in the lowland jungles of the Yucatan to view a spectacle originally designed and orchestrated by these fiercely independent people, driven by their mysterious culture.
In the Maya language, Chichén Itzá signifies "at the mouth of the great well" because of its immense, sacred cenote ("well" in English). The cenote was one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in the Mayan world. Some scholars believe that its importance was related to the astronomically-related layout of the site; the city was apparently designed to take full advantage of astronomical events.
Here's How It Works
Fall Equinox Shadows
At the precise time of the spring and fall equinox, the sun casts its rays on the balustrade, in turn highlighting a feathered serpent that seems to be moving or slithering its way down the steps. How the Maya managed to concentrate its energies in building a monument of incomprehensible scale to highlight the time of year when the hours of daylight and darkness are equal is extraordinary.
El Castillo stands as testimony to the Maya’s superiority as builders and mathematicians. The surfaces are massive, detailed, and sharp. The sophisticated Mayan calendar is incorporated in the architecture of this structure. For example, the number of steps on each of the four sides is 91, adding up to 364, which together with the top platform equals the number of days in a year. On the days of spring and fall equinox, the edge of the shadow from the sun, falls exactly on the corner of the pyramid, leaving one side in total sunlight and the other in total shadow. This always provides the shadow on the balustrade which takes on the appearance of slithering snake.
Lessons on Solar Orbit
According to the Shadow of the Equinox Home Page, an equinox occurs twice each year when our sun, in its orbit around the earth in a fashion unique to these times of the year, passes directly over the Earth's equator and the length of the daylight and evening hours is equal. Hence the word equinox is derived from the Latin for "equal" aequus, and nox meaning "night". The spring equinox occurs on or about March 21. Six months later, on or about Sept 22, we have the Fall Equinox. The summer solstice occurs on or about June 21st. On this day earth sees the longest duration of daylight. Six months later is the winter solstice on or about December 22, when we see the shortest daylight and the longest night of the year.
On these days the sun almost seems to pause in its orbit before resuming its course, and it is why the word solstice is based on the Latin sol, for "sun", and sistere or "to cause to stand". This cycle then repeats itself as the Earth continues to rotate around the sun. It is interesting to note that there are exactly 91 days between each of these events, and 92 days between the June 21 summer solstice and the September 21 equinox. This adds up to a 365 day solar year with the 91 days between each event matching the 91 steps to each side of the pyramid.
Chichén Itzá is open 8 A.M. to 5:30 P.M., every day of the year. Arrive early if you can so as to avoid the tour buses from Cancun. The entrance fee is (was) 88 pesos per person, or about $8 dollars. Kids under 13 get in for free. Every night at 8 P.M. there is a sound and light show, when the buildings are bathed in colored light and the history and legends of Chichén Itzá are narrated.
Be aware summer temps can be devastating if you're not prepared, another good reason to schedule your visit as early as possible. A good mosquito repellant is also recommended, as well as a good pair of comfortable shoes. Tour buses leave Merida, Cancun and Play Del Carmen regularly, but it's better to stay near the ruins and enter early to avoid the crowds.

It is a prestigious moment for all indians that, India launched its first spaceship to explore the moon on October 22, 2008. India’s moon mission is named as Chandrayan by the Indian Space Research Organisation or ISRO. The recently launched Chandrayan 1 is the first among the series of unmanned space missions by Indian Space Research Organisation. In sanskrit the word chandrayan means moon travel or travel to moon. The launching centre of the space of Shar on the island of Sriharikota in addition to state of India of ‘East coast of S of will andhra pradesh is used by ISRO to launch the spaceship on PSLV and other rockets.
Chandrayan-1 was launched on a mission two-tyear on one of India of the ‘s has the polar satellite Launch the rockets of space of vehicle (PSLV) of the space centre of Sriharikota in southernmost India. Chandrayan 1 is supposed to return the images of the moon surface which are of high resolution. The image will also include the shaded polar regions. Chandran is also supposed to seek the obviousness of water or the ice in the surface of the moon and will also test the moon soil to find out the chemical breakdown of rocks in the moon
Along with the indian payloads Chandrayaan-1 has payloads of the United States and the European countries Germany, Great Britain, Sweden and Bulgaria. India envisages to share its data of the moon with NASA and other space agencies. The Indian lunar satellite also places an instrument of radar of the United States conceived to locate the water ice.
Accroding to officials from ISRO the main aim of this mission was to identify the origin of the moon. The scientists envisage to unload a vagrant on the moon to carry out the chemicals analyzes lunar surface. The officials has also pointed out that the technoloy used in the chandrayan mission is ten times better than other countries. The mission aims covering the whole moon and at collecting information like possible as much.
Like every other matter indian space mission, chandrayan 1 has also raised controversies among indians. People are already talking about why india needs a space mission like this when there are lots of people living under poverty in india where agriculture is still the major piece of revenue for many indians. Some people are alos having opinion that India considers the placement of its space program with being a question of prestige rather than anything more.

Gaia, a touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram will be available for viewing at Chester Cathedral from 7th February until the 5th march.
Measuring six metres in diameter, Gaia features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface and provides viewers with the opportunity to see our planet, floating in three-dimensions.
It is said that the installation creates a sense of the Overview Effect, a term first coined by author Frank White in 1987 to describe the feeling of awe and a renewed sense of environmental responsibility for the planet astronauts have reported feeling when viewing it from miles above.
The artwork also acts as a mirror to major events in society, providing the viewer with a new perspective of our place on the planet; a sense that societies of the Earth are all interconnected and that we have a responsibility toward one another.
Gaia is open during normal Cathedral hours. Booking is not required and entry is free. For more information, visit the Chester Cathedral website.


To be honest I'm not the best person out there when it comes to recycling, but boy, today's launch of the SES-10 satellite has made med a fan of recycling because SpaceX managed to recycle a rocket. A ROCKET, I MEAN HOW COOL IS THIS? So today was the first time in history a rocket was reused from a former mission to put a satellite into orbit, this was done by SpaceX rocket Falcon 9. Today's event is historical because if one can reuse rockets just like airplanes, the cost of space missions will be way less than using a new rocket for every space mission, and this makes space more available for humanity. Watch the rocket launch and the SES-10 hosted webcast here to learn more about the mission.
