Skiddo Tundra Fro Sale In Minnesota

A film written in the firmament


After the evening hunt for shooting stars I want to come back to mythology.
There is a mix of stories, stuck up there in heaven, to be afraid. So let's do
some order.
Andromeda was a beautiful princess of Ethiopia who had done nothing wrong, but he had a mother, Queen Cassiopeia, who was a disaster: garrulous, vain, boasted of being more beautiful than the Nereids, the nymphs of the sea. (See image above Cassiopeia with whom we admire in the mirror, like the witch in Snow White). For the record, the constellation of Cassiopeia is seen low on the horizon toward the northeast, is that group of stars that have a form of double w, or M, (when set is turned). If you wait a little when he gets up you see her also Andromeda, three or four stars in a line that represent the girl lying down. In this constellation of course there is also the Andromeda Galaxy. Around September / October you can see better. But if someone hopes to find the shape of a queen or her daughter to become resigned, it takes a great imagination to see them ... however, in fact, the Greeks saw them there. But back to the myth.
Cassiopeia with her vanity causes the wrath of Poseidon (the sea god Neptune), which sends a horrible sea monster to ravage the coast of Ethiopia. This monster is the constellation of Cetus, also visible later in autumn and winter, in the Taurus and the right of Orion.
At this point enters the father of Andromeda, Cepheus (above Cassiopeia, in the direction of the Pole Star), who goes by the oracle of Ammon to know What can you do to stop 'I'm the monster. The answer is unequivocal: we must sacrifice his daughter to the monster. You say, but what crime has the daughter if I'm the mess caused the mother? I do not know me I asked myself, but the story is.
's so that Andromeda is chained to a rock because the monster take it, but twist, before the monster that Perseus is dazzled by her beauty. Perseus is on the left side of the double w Cassiopeia. Between the two constellations, for the record, there is one of my favorite celestial objects, the so-called double cluster, but let's not lose the thread. Then Perseus
ranging from parents to Andromeda, and proposes to fight against the sea monster in return if they leave the Andromeda in marriage. The great thing is the whole story is that Andromeda is tossed right and left as a package and no one ever asks what she thinks, but go right ahead.
Lights So the fierce battle between the monster and Perseus, who wins. Reluctantly the parents of Andromeda Andromeda and the promise becomes his bride. (See below under Perseus freeing Andromeda from the rock). Then the story goes, Cassiopeia tries to renege on his promise and take back her daughter Andromeda, but does not disdain the company of his savior, and together they go to Greece where she reigned happily churning out no fewer than 13 children!
I've been out of Pegasus, the winged horse of Perseus, that in heaven there is a large square on the right of Andromeda, but it seems it was not at all the horse of Perseus, as is often said, being the second Ovid, Perseus same winged sandals. However, we see that the sky was no place for him and we have made.
This whole story makes me think that when there was no TV and the street lamps at night, we worked a little more imagination and stories that are projected in the sky in his heart. And this is beautiful, I miss her.

What Happened To Thermasilk?

Good loot, Grandpa Billy

few shooting stars last night in Villagrande (Monte Copioli), but feast of celestial objects. I have caught Billy and Grandpa M4, M6, M7, M8, M13, M16, M20, M22, M24, M27, M31, M51, M57, M81, M82 + Double Cluster in Perseus, and the double Albireo Alcor-Mizar. Belle also the constellation of the Dolphin, invisible to Rimini, and especially the milky way.
Maybe they are all acronyms that do not tell you anything or even know them and know that it does not take much to focus. For me it was once again like the first time, just fantastic. The Messier objects are listed with a small icon next to the page http://astrolink.mclink.it/messier/data2.html I recommend visiting.
The sky was not perfect, there was a lot of moisture (the instruments were wet after an hour) but was equally exciting.

Tears of St. Lawrence


Imagine walking along a mountain path. At some point you are near a junction with another path, and while you decide to go through here is that a motocross bike through there at full speed ahead, raising a great cloud of dust and bringing you some snot and hope to finish a tree . Here
with tears of St. Lawrence a little bit the same thing happens. There is a meteor that crosses the path of the earth around the sun, the comet Swift Tuttle. Does not relieve itself from the gravel path, but we say that losing pieces in the street. Many, small, and little cares ... has a good supply. The land avoids confrontation, but turning around the earth passing by once a year, on time, in the same period, which for convenience we call August 10 (although in reality the point of impact is broad and the land it crosses over several days). These pebbles
lost by the comet if they float placidly throughout the path of the comet, including stops at the point where every year the earth moves. And when she passes, here they seem to scratch as fire arrows at the sky. In reality it is we who go to them. And when the battle is with our atmosphere at 59 km per second, the impact is such that crumble, so much so that it does not fall to the ground next to nothing.
This "swarm" of "shooting stars" who obviously are neither star nor falling, it is not the only one to hit the ground, but it is certainly the most popular and eye-catching, also because it happens in summer. The Leonids dippers would be as flashy, but the peak of visibility November 16, when the cold over there that remove the clouds poetry event. These are called Perseadi of August, because the point "radial" in which you join all the trails of meteors is very near the constellation Perseus. A bit like the hub of a bicycle wheel, where all races meet.
Well, the end of the lesson. You just have to look at them.
