Thought of the day by Buddha

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

Our place in the universe

Everything that has been, everything we know, everything that will be, happens on a planet known as the Earth. We think that it is the only planet that has life on it, but we could be wrong. The Earth is part of a vast interplanetary system stretching around 8 388 511 095 miles across. Our Solar system has eight planets, as well the possibility of several hundred Dwarf planets with five currently recognized. In addition to this, it has about 707,664 minor planets. Furthermore, it has 462 natural satellites. Along with 3 460 known comets. And still, it is all a speck amid across the interstellar voids that we share with others 100 billion stars in a galaxy that we call the Milky Way, which we find in the Local Interstellar Cloud. This cloud is in the Gould Belt that in turn lies in the Orion Arm. Now, the Milky Way is in the Local Group that is a cluster of galaxies which have about a dozen other galaxies. Currently, all of this is part of the Virgo Supercluster that contains thousands of clusters of galaxies, including the Local Group as one of its smaller members. All this is in the Laniakea Supercluster. And still, the universe extends to infinity. Though we know how it got here after a Big Bang that happened about 13.799 billion years ago, all this makes one simple conclusion: That we all are stardust that is all interconnected to each other biologically, to the Earth chemically, and to the rest of the Universe atomically.

Step from winter to spring

The equinoxes (from the Latin aequinoctium (aequus nocte), "equal night") are the times of the year when the Sun is located in the plane of the celestial equator. That day and for an observer on the terrestrial equator, the Sun reaches the zenith (the highest point in the sky in relation to the observer, which is just above his head, that is, at 90 °). The parallel of declination of the Sun and the celestial equator then coincide.

It occurs twice a year: on March 20 or 21 and on September 22 or 23 of each year.

On the dates when the equinoxes occur, the day lasts approximately equal to that of the night in all places on Earth. Although the word equinox refers to an equality, this is not the case due to the size of the sun (with respect to its central point), and atmospheric refraction, which causes differences in the duration of the day at different latitudes.

At the equinox, the opposite annual season change occurs in each hemisphere of the Earth.
In astronomy it is called the Aries point or vernal point to the point of the ecliptic from which the sun passes from the southern celestial hemisphere to the northern hemisphere, which occurs at the March equinox (beginning spring in the northern hemisphere) and autumn in the southern hemisphere). The planes of the celestial equator and the ecliptic (the plane formed by the Earth's orbit around the sun or the apparent movement of the sun over a year) are cut into a straight line, which has the Aries point at one end. the end diametrically opposite the Libra point.
Actually, none of the equinoxes is in the constellation that names them, due to the precession: the first point of Aries is in Pisces.
Happy Spring

Thought of the day by Sun Tzu

If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.

M1 Crab Nebula

Hello fellow Cyberspace, today I want to share these astrophotographs that I have taken to M1 through the telescope network of Slooh these photos are with the Chile One telescope

This nebula that is the result of a supernova, which was first seen on July 4 of the year 1054 by the Chinese, the American aborigines, the Japanese and the Arabs, was so massive that it could continue to be observed for twenty-two months.

This is the first object that the French astronomer Charles Messier, use to start his famous catalog of objects that were not kites.

This nebula also has importance in the knowledge of the pulsar, since in its center it has one that rotates at 30 revolutions per second, this pulsar called PSR B0531 + 21, allowed us to prove that the pulsar was born of supernovae.

The light we see from this nebula is about 6300 years from the earth, with a diameter of about 6 light years and an expansion speed of 1500 km / s. It is found in the constellation of Taurus and is called the crab because it was most similar to the telescopes of the time.

I hope you like the pictures.
