well I walk by this clock 20 times in the 5 days I spent in Prague and every time it was full impossible to get a good shot.. so I decided to get a night shot. good choice as it turned out.. now I look and see i had daylight savings time turned off in my camera setting aha..😂😂
This year, the astronomical autumn will start in Europe on September 22, but the meteorological one started on September 1. I'm not even surprised that some sims are already dressed in autumn clothes :)
One such sim showed us Michiel in his beautiful photo.
I was right there to see it and it's really beautiful. I will definitely make an autumn photo of it.
So why a black and white photo now?
I just sometimes swim against the tide. :)

Astronomical Institute is with a dome at the top of the highest, three-storied building (photo). The dome contains 20-cm Clark-Repsold refractor.
There are two departments in the Institute:
- Department of Astrophysics and Classical Astronomy
- Department of Solar Physics and Space Science.
Tasks of the Institute:
Bialkow Observatory, which is a part of the Institute, works as one of the five professional observatories in Poland. There are actually two professional instruments in the observatory: 60-cm reflector and 53-cm coronograph. Observing staff takes part in the international programs and observational campaigns observing both the Sun and stars.

A solstice is an astronomical event that happens twice each year when the Sun's apparent position in the sky reaches its northernmost or southernmost extremes. The name is derived from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because at the solstices, the Sun stands still in declination[citation needed]; that is, the apparent movement of the Sun's path north or south comes to a stop before reversing direction.

I'm drawn to the unknown where shadows hide
A slave to the powers that magnetize
There's something inside of me, I can't fight
Forces of gravity taking me, taking me
Weightlessness forsaking me
Ooh, this pull is astronomical
Can anybody stop me?
The Prague Astronomical Clock is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, on Old Town Square. The clock is located on the south wall of the town hall. The clock is said to have been built by master clockmaker Hanus on 9 October 1410. Legend has it that Hanus had his eyes gouged out to prevent him from reproducing his masterpiece elsewhere. The clock comes to life every hour until 9 p.m.

The Belt of Venus is an atmospheric phenomenon visible shortly before sunrise or after sunset, during civil twilight. It is a pinkish glow that surrounds the observer, extending roughly 10–20° above the horizon.

A cloud inversion. That's when the normal temperature distribution of air – warm at the bottom, colder as you go up – becomes inverted or flipped upside down. This means you have a cold layer of air trapped at ground level, overlain by warm air.

Per la morte non c'è spazio, ma le vite volano e si aggiungono alle stelle
nell'alto cielo.
Publio Virgilio Marone poeta romano 70-19 a.C.
Si dice che la nostra galassia contenga più o meno 100 miliardi di stelle... e si calcola che questo numero sia paragonabile a quello degli esseri umani esistiti nei circa 200.000 anni di evoluzione dell'uomo moderno.
C'è una stella per ciascuno...e quando si guarda la via lattea in una notte perfetta, questo pensiero diventa ancora più profondo.

Captured the milky way during astronomical twilight. Lucky to have been at the location at the right time!
Jaipur- Yantra Mandir /Jantar Mantar.
Brihat Samrat Yantra, a sundial 27 meters high, which allows to obtain, at the equinoxes, a measurement of the hour reaching an accuracy of 0.5 seconds and to the right, the cylinder portion where the times are indicated. Its symetric part is hidden behind the central wall so that it's the largest equatorial dial in the world.
Monkeys wander freely in this space ...
The endless of darkness is hovering
The sound of the silence is deafening
Ten billion decibels shattering
Forces of gravity taking me, taking me
Weightlessness forsaking me
Oh, this pull is astronomical.

This morning was very clear, virtually not a cloud in the sky.
The Sun photographed a half an hour after sunrise. I waited for for the sun to get high enough to minimize atmospheric distortion. Just wanted to check on the sun's current spot activity, so I was Ok with this image.
Just for info, I used a 10 Stop ND Filter for this.

The astronomic clock lays on a Renaissance arch which has spanned the street since 1527 and it dates back to the 16th century and its movement from 1389.
The two faces of the clock display 24 rays of sun against a blue starred sky.
The dial’s diameter is 2.50 metres. A single hand ending with a depiction of a lamb shows the hour. The moon phases are indicated in the oculus above the clock face, in a sphere of 30 centimetres in diameter. It completes a full rotation in 29 days. There is also a hand showing the week, inside an opening at the base of the dial. It is decorated by allegoric characters: Diane as the moon (Monday), Mars (Tuesday), Mercury (Wednesday), Jupiter (Thursday), Venus (Friday), Saturn (Saturday) and Apollo (Sunday).
Although the mechanism of the clock is one of the oldest in Europe, it has been powered by electricity since the 1920s, despite the fact that the movement was still working efficiently.
