Para los que dicen que mis hijas siempre sonrien..EstĂ n esas fotos,que uno descubre al azar..esas Tomas falsas...porque no siempre hay buen humor..
Del edificio de enfrente
siempre estĂ¡ abierta
por la noche y por el dĂa
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

esa luz,
es tu sombra…
Quiéreme entera...
Si me quieres, quiéreme entera,
no por zonas de luz o sombra...
si me quieres, quiéreme negra,
y blanca, y gris, y verde, y rubia,
quiĂ©reme dĂa,
quiéreme noche...
¡Y madrugada en la ventana abierta!
si me quieres, no me recortes:
¡quiĂ©reme toda... o no me quieras!

La cuestiĂ³n seria es que estamos acabando el mes de noviembre y la cosa no estĂ¡ boyante, que digamos... Aunque a fuerza de ser sincero uno ya no sabe si achacar la escasez a los dĂ©biles trĂ¡ficos o a la persona que deberĂa fotografiarlos. Puesto en cifras, y para que se me entienda, dos mercantes en 25 dĂas...
Cuando la veteranĂa es un grado, o un saco de patatas segĂºn se mire, la secuencia es aferrarse a la ley del mĂnimo esfuerzo y mĂ¡xima comodidad. Te asignas un dĂa de la semana, aguardas y cuando llega asomas la patita por entre las sĂ¡banas y compruebas que hace frĂo. Y piensas que con lo bien que se estĂ¡ en la camita va a salir a vĂa Rita la cantaora... Y cuando hace calor pasas porque temes que se derrita el poco seso que te queda.
Sea como fuere dejas que toda la noche vayan pasando pĂ¡jaros sin que ello te inmute.
Puede que todo ello sea la razĂ³n de la insistente subida de churrifotos a mi galerĂa. Sin embargo no es menos cierto que quiero demostrar que aĂºn mantengo, de alguna forma, la ilusiĂ³n de dĂ©cadas pasadas. Por eso, y entre retazos del ayer, incorporo algo actual dentro de la panoplia de fotos.
Lo de siempre. Alrededor de las ocho abro los ojos, compruebo que la luz entra por entre la rendijas de la persiana y el pensamiento de horas anteriores se disipa. Se estĂ¡ tan bien bajo la colcha... Pero no es cuestiĂ³n de permanecer agazapado hasta la hora de comer, asĂ que a media mañana trinco el bonobĂºs y me acerco hasta este punto. De lo que se trata es de quitarse el mono de encima, evidentemente.
De camino al punto, de repente, me invade la zozobra. "Hoy es viernes y estĂ¡n programados paros tanto en Renfe como en Adif. Buena me espera..." A pesar de ello quiero pasar algo mĂ¡s de una hora y ver lo que se cuece. Y se cociĂ³ este largo portaautomĂ³viles cargado de Kuga encaminĂ¡ndose a Ford. Oye, y agradecido porque no es demasiado comĂºn ver uno de estos puro de cabo a rabo; ya sabĂ©is que lo normal es que vayan en forma de mixtos junto a los azules y los MC.
Total, que para quĂ© mĂ¡s. Recojo los bĂ¡rtulos y a casa de nuevo, dispuesto a que me den de comer y luego dormir la siesta... Por Dios!!, no iban a ser todo trenes...

Ningun retoque, ni en el sujeto ni en la imagen, salvo... cambio de color a blanco y negro, y tal cual, no modifique nada. Personalmente creo que me representa perfectamente si mirais detenidamente todos los detalles...y recuerdas que mas sabes, de esta amiga...
Eso es, esa soy yo!
Feliz Viernes!

No touches...both "the model" and the image are as is, except that I changed the image from color to B&W, and not even cared to deal with changes. I think that if you look into each detail in this photo, you will see - finish knowing? - the real me!
That's it!
Love you, happy Friday!

Arnaud Prost was selected as a member of the ESA Astronaut Reserve in November 2022. He began his Astronaut Reserve training at the European Astronaut Centre (EAC) near Cologne, Germany, on 28 October 2024. The programme includes selected modules of ESA’s one-year basic training, typically completed by career astronauts, and equips members of the astronaut reserve with the skills needed to support Europe’s future space exploration and scientific research. Training covers technical and operational skills, spacecraft systems, survival exercises in water and winter conditions, as well as initial spacewalk training.

Edited Webb Space Telescope of the quasar RX J1131-1231. The image of the quasar has been split into three images by gravitational lensing.
Original caption: This new ESA/Webb Picture of the Month features the gravitational lensing of the quasar known as RX J1131-1231, located roughly 6 billion light-years from Earth in the constellation Crater. It is considered one of the best lensed quasars discovered to date, as the foreground galaxy smears the image of the background quasar into a bright arc and creates four images of the object. Gravitational lensing, first predicted by Einstein, offers a rare opportunity to study regions close to the black hole in distant quasars, by acting as a natural telescope and magnifying the light from these sources. All matter in the Universe warps the space around itself, with larger masses producing a more pronounced effect. Around very massive objects, such as galaxies, light that passes close by follows this warped space, appearing to bend away from its original path by a clearly visible amount. One of the consequential effects of gravitational lensing is that it can magnify distant astronomical objects, letting astronomers study objects that would otherwise be too faint or far away. Measurements of the X-ray emission from quasars can provide an indication of how fast the central black hole is spinning, which can provide researchers important clues about how black holes grow over time. For example, if a black hole grows primarily from collisions and mergers between galaxies, it should accumulate material in a stable disc, and the steady supply of new material from the disc should lead to a rapidly spinning black hole. On the other hand, if the black hole grew through many small accretion episodes, it would accumulate material from random directions. Observations have indicated that the black hole in this particular quasar is spinning at over half the speed of light, which suggests that this black hole has grown via mergers, rather than pulling material in from different directions. This image was captured with Webb’s MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) as part of an observation programme to study dark matter. Dark matter is an invisible form of matter that accounts for most of the Universe's mass. Webb’s observations of quasars are allowing astronomers to probe the nature of dark matter at smaller scales than ever before. [Image Description: A small image of a galaxy distorted by gravitational lensing into a dim ring. At the top of the ring are three very bright spots with diffraction spikes coming off them, right next to each other: these are copies of a single quasar in the lensed galaxy, duplicated by the gravitational lens. In the centre of the ring, the elliptical galaxy doing the lensing appears as a small blue dot. The background is black and empty.]

A gowned technician passes through an air shower to blast off dust and dirt particles before entering the strictly controlled clean room attached to ESTEC’s Life, Physical Sciences and Life Support Laboratory.
This 35 sq. m ‘ISO Class 1’ clean room provides an ultra-clean environment, suitable for working on flight hardware requiring a very high level of cleanliness and sterilisation, such as instruments for Europe’s 2016 and 2018 ExoMars missions.
The clean room is fitted with a dry heat steriliser, ultra-clean gas lines, exhaust line and IT infrastructure, with all its air passing through a two-stage filtering system.
The chamber’s cleanliness is such that it contains less than 10 smoke-sized particles per cubic metre; an equivalent sample of the outside air could well contain millions.

Down on the ground, death equals stillness – but not in space. Abandoned satellites are prone to tumble in unpredictable ways and an ESA project with the Astronomical Institute of the University of Bern sought to better understand this behaviour.
ESA’s Clean Space initiative has plans to remove dead satellites from highly trafficked orbits. The preferred method of ‘Active Debris Removal’ involves grabbing the target object, in which case knowledge of its precise orientation and motion will be vital. So the need is clear to understand the tumbling that almost all satellites and rocket bodies undergo after their mission end-of-life.
The project combined optical, laser ranging and radar observations to refine an existing ‘In-Orbit Tumbling Analysis’ computer model, aiming to identify, understand and predict the attitude motion of a fully defunct satellite within a few passes. More than 20 objects were observed during a two-year campaign.
The long list of perturbation triggers includes ‘eddy currents’ as internal magnetic fields interact with Earth’s magnetosphere, drag from the vestigial atmosphere, gravity gradients between the top of an object and its bottom, outgassing and fuel leaks, the faint but steady push of sunlight – known as ‘solar radiation pressure’ – micrometeoroid and debris impacts, even the sloshing of leftover fuel.
Among the study findings was rocket bodies and satellites in lower orbits are mostly influenced by gravity gradients and eddy currents, while up at geostationary altitudes, satellites with large solar panels are sensitive to solar radiation pressure.
The project was supported through ESA’s General Support Technology Programme, developing promising technologies for space.
