¿Cómo compaginar
la aniquiladora
idea de la muerte
con ese incontenible
afán de vida?
¿cómo acoplar el horror
ante la nada que vendrá
con la invasora alegría
del amor provisional
y verdadero?
¿cómo desactivar la lápida con el sembradío?
¿la guadaña
con el clavel?
¿será que el hombre es eso?
¿esa batalla?

The European Space Agency will soon be releasing a new, cost efficient way of keeping a low-orbit manned presence in space. The whole unit is carried to orbit by an ESA rocket. A nuclear missile is housed in the rear, and the solar panel and engine/comm array detach from the habitation vessel. They re-attach to form a satellite that is left in orbit, while the pilot returns to earth!
Globular clusters are relatively common in our sky, and generally look similar. However, this image, taken using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows a unique example of such a cluster — Palomar 2. Palomar 2 is part of a group of 15 globulars known as the Palomar clusters. These clusters, as the name suggests, were discovered in survey plates from the first Palomar Observatory Sky Survey in the 1950s, a project that involved some of the most well-known astronomers of the day, including Edwin Hubble. They were discovered quite late because they are so faint — each is either extremely remote, very heavily hidden behind blankets of dust, or has a very small number of remaining stars. This particular cluster is unique in more than one way. For one, it is the only globular cluster that we see in this part of the sky, the northern constellation of Auriga (The Charioteer). Globular clusters orbit the centre of a galaxy like the Milky Way in the same way that satellites circle around the Earth. This means that they normally lie closer in to the galactic centre than we do, and so we almost always see them in the same region of the sky. Palomar 2 is an exception to this, as it is around five times further away from the centre of the Milky Way than other clusters. It also lies in the opposite direction — further out than Earth — and so it is classed as an “outer halo” globular. It is also unusual due to its brightness. The cluster is veiled by a mask of dust, dampening the apparent brightness of the stars within it and making it appear as a very faint burst of stars. The stunning NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image above shows Palomar 2 in a way that could not be captured from smaller or ground-based telescopes — some amateur astronomers with large telescopes attempt to observe all of the obscure and well-hidden Palomar 15 as a challenge, to see how many they can pick out from the starry sky.

On 7 October 2018 we opened the doors of ESTEC, our technical heart in the Netherlands, and welcomed more than 7600 people on a day full of activities including meet-and-greet with astronauts, tours around our test rooms, learning about the science in science fiction, and about the activities ESA does in all its establishments around Europe and beyond.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the company's Crew Dragon spacecraft onboard is seen at sunrise on the launch pad at Launch Complex 39A as preparations continue for the Crew-4 mission, Wednesday, April 20, 2022, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA’s SpaceX Crew-4 mission is the fourth crew rotation mission of the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. NASA astronauts Kjell Lindgren, Robert Hines, Jessica Watkins, and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti are scheduled to launch on April 23 at 5:26 a.m. EDT, from Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center.

The third Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite, Sentinel-1C, has launched aboard a Vega-C rocket, flight VV25, from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. The rocket lifted off on 5 December 2024 at 22:20 CET (18:20 local time).
Sentinel-1C extends the legacy of its predecessors, delivering high-resolution radar imagery to monitor Earth’s changing environment, supporting a diverse range of applications and advance scientific research. Additionally, Sentinel-1C introduces new capabilities for detecting and monitoring maritime traffic.
The launch also marks Vega-C’s ‘return to flight’, a key step in restoring Europe’s independent access to space. Vega-C is the evolution of the Vega family of rockets and delivers increased performance, greater payload volume and improved competitiveness.

Un fin de semana en una casita en el río...Donde no había nada más para fotografiar que justamente el río, árboles y niños, que ya me miraban con cara de pocos amigos...
Aún no llegó la primavera a Argentina, por lo tanto, no había más flores que este pequeño ramito al lado de un árbol y otra flor que encontré abandonada por ahí, en una mini selva...
Soy horrible fotografiando paisajes, de todas maneras, saqué muchas fotos intentando practicar un poco y conocer un poquito más mi cámara ( si me animo subo alguna).
Quería incluir un poco de color a las fotos y todo lo que encontré para ello, fue una manzana que rescaté de las "garras" de los niños que arrasaban con todo.
Me aferré a ella como la [ ARDILLA DE LA ERA DEL HIELO A SU BELLOTA ] y la usé para hacer esta serie de fotos, que intentan ser algo así como una historieta, donde la protagonista es la esa maldita manzana y la actríz secundaria es una pequeña linternita que uso como lúz de lectura
Locuras mías de un fin de semana "campestre", intentando sobrevivir sin mi notebook :P
CONTINUARÁ...

With satellites delivering a mindboggling amount of data about our planet along with the availability of the latest digital technologies, there are countless opportunities for innovation. ESA’s ɸ-week, explores how this new world can be embraced to bring even more benefits to all.
These drawings were done live during the conference main sessions and capture the essence of what the future of Earth Observation might look like.

-¿Dónde vamos?
Esa fría mañana se despertó decidida.
“Sí, le llevaré al descampado. Allí nadie podrá observar lo ocurrido”
-Pues es que este barrio es horrible para dar un paseo, pero más abajo hay un camino que lleva al árbol del tiempo sin tiempo.- respondió ella
Él asintió y sin nada más que añadir, la siguió mientras se liaba un cigarrillo. Aquel tipo de aspecto mercenario heredero de Sanjurō, se merecía el disparo…
Cruzaron el puente de lo eterno y mutable, bajaron por el sendero Aedea y finalmente, llegaron al árbol del tiempo sin tiempo.
-Sitúate allí y ¡ponte de perfil!- ordenó ella con voz escarchada.
Sacó el arma, apuntó y..
…la imagen polaroid lo atrapó..
Dicen que el efecto mágico de ésta, por lo menos, durará dos noches..
...en esas noches, el mercenario, logrará dormir y descansar en un sueño de musas, buena música y gatetes!!

Americana de tomo y lomo. Una imponente maquina por donde se mire. Una verdadera maravilla que circula por la red norte de Chile. Ahora, adaptada para poder circular en vías métricas, sigue cumpliendo sus labores de ir y venir con las tolvas cargadas con mineral de hierro acompañanada de su fiel Slug.

Para los que dicen que mis hijas siempre sonrien..Estàn esas fotos,que uno descubre al azar..esas Tomas falsas...porque no siempre hay buen humor..
Del edificio de enfrente
siempre está abierta
por la noche y por el día
saliendo el sol a la mañana .
Cuando ilumina la luna
la lluvia moja el alféizar
y no se cierra la persiana
viendo una sombra que anda
camino de la cama .
Llueve si parar de caer
esas aguas que mojan
a quién pasea de noche
sin llevar paraguas .
Todo lo veo a través,
abierta de la ventana
