What a nice place to stargaze!

El brillo natural de la noche

El cielo nocturno no es completamente oscuro. Incluso en los lugares más remotos existe un brillo del cielo producido tanto por componentes naturales de origen terrestre o extraterrestre, como por emisión de luz artificial resultado de la actividad humana.

Un reciente estudio analiza datos recogidos en 44 de los lugares más oscuros del planeta, incluidos los Observatorios de Canarias, para desarrollar el primer método de referencia completo para medir el brillo del cielo nocturno natural con fotómetros de bajo coste.

De los 44 fotómetros que componen la muestra, el Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (Garafía, La Palma) destaca como el lugar más oscuro de todos los analizados.

ELBA ISLAND AND MOONLIGHT FROM SPACE

Part of the astronaut experience is seeing the planet transform from day to night in ways that earth-bound people rarely see. A crew member aboard the International Space Station took this photograph of the northern Mediterranean Sea and some coastal Italian towns and islands.

The reflection of the Moon on the sea surface—moonglint—reveals highly complex patterns. The strongest reflection is near the center of the Moon’s disc, which brightens the water around the island of Elba. In these complex patterns, the dark areas of the sea surface can sometimes make islands (such as Montecristo and Pianosa) harder to see. (A similar phenomenon happens in the daylight, as shown in sunglint images of lakes in Brazil and aquaculture in the Nile Delta.)

The reflection off sea surfaces captures many different natural processes, but also some made by humans. North of Elba, waves trailing behind ships make the classic V-shaped pattern. The meandering line coming off Montecristo Island is an “island wake,” a result of alternating vortices of wind that develop on the downwind side of the island. This wake is the strongest evidence that a northeast wind was blowing (right to left in this image) on the night of the photo. A shorter, meandering wind pattern is being shed off Punta Ala on the mainland. Smoother surfaces, protected from wind, are usually brighter because they are better mirror for moonlight.

The sea surface also displays numerous tight swirls known as gyres. The broad swath of parallel lines (image top left) are probably part of the larger circulation of the sea, which usually experiences north-flowing currents around Elba. An animation of the larger swirls of the Mediterranean can be seen here.

Astronaut photograph ISS037-E-15305 was acquired on October 17, 2013, with a Nikon D3S digital camera using a 180 millimeter lens, and is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations Facility and the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by a member of the Expedition 37 crew. The image has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast, and lens artifacts have been removed. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory as part of the ISS National Lab to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet. Additional images taken by astronauts and cosmonauts can be viewed at the NASA/JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth.

Lunedì prossimo tornano finalmente le Dirette di Astronomitaly!

Apriamo questa nuova Stagione di Dirette con la Luna di Ottobre che ci riserva nuove entusiasmanti sorprese: la NASA si prepara ad un annuncio storico e nel contempo ci avviciniamo sempre più a scoprire una seconda Terra al di fuori del nostro sistema solare.

In compagnia di Fabrizio Marra, Elisa Fardelli e Maila Agostini dell'Osservatorio Polifunzionale del Chianti ci collegheremo per commentare in diretta l'annuncio della NASA e scoprire curiosità sul nostro bellissimo satellite naturale, la .

Ma il viaggio non termina qui, proseguirà fino ai confini della nostra Galassia alla scoperta degli Esopianeti.

La C/2020 F3 sta regalando emozioni inattese nel cielo di Luglio.

In tanti ci avete chiesto di vederla in diretta e dopo il successo della scorsa settimana vogliamo realizzare ancora una volta il vostro desiderio. L'unico requisito è seguirci e tenersi pronti sulla nostra pagina :)

Oggi partiamo verso il Belmond Castello di Casole, location Certificata fra "I cieli più belli d'Italia" - GOLD dove tenteremo ben due osservazioni della Cometa.

La prima dopo il Tramonto del 14 Luglio verso le ore 21.00 sperando che il buio favorisca la sua visibilità.

La seconda al mattino presto del 15 Luglio verso le ore 4.00.

Anche in questo caso ci sono alcune incognite: la connessione in area rurale, l'altezza rispetto le colline e le condizioni atmosferiche all'orizzonte ma se riusciremo nell'impresa ne sarà assolutamente valsa la pena!

Sarete dei nostri anche questa volta?

Venerdì 5 Giugno dalle 20:30

Arriva una Piena che profuma di fragole: è la Luna Piena di , chiamata anche "Luna della ".

Proprio in occasione di questo evento ci sarà inoltre una penombrale di Luna. L’inizio della penombra è previsto alle 19:46, mentre la Luna sarà ancora bassa sull'orizzonte. Tuttavia la fase massima è prevista per le 21:25 il che ci darà modo di poterla osservare, tutto in compagnia dello Staff di Astronomitaly pronto a rispondere alle vostre curiosità sulla Luna.

Come di consueto saremo in diretta su Facebook e Youtube, tutti per voi.

... anzi ... :D
