Ebbene si, anche dalla spiaggia di Genova, seppur con tutto l'inquinamento luminoso presente nella serata giusta si può ammirare lo spettacolo del nucleo della Via Lattea, anzi forse all'inizio e alla fine dell'estate, quando l'aria è meno carica di umidità, si potrebbe anche fare meglio, riproveremo!!!

52 weeks the 2020 Edition -stars. As this is the brightest night in the year there are no start to be seen in the sky here, not even at midnight.
We have had some nice clear skies in Scotland last few days so decided to do a few trips up north in the car. First up this was a single exposure of the night sky at Drymen. Hope everyone had a good new year.
... of the floral variety. Shooting stars are my favorite wildflowers. They are essentially primroses with reflexed petals. They were previously placed in their own genus (Dodecatheon) based on this remarkable floral trait, but have recently been put back into the primrose group (Primula).
The petal positioning of shooting stars would seem to hinder pollinators from landing on the flower. However they rely on a "buzz" pollination strategy, where vibration of the pollinator's (usually bumble bees) flight muscles causes tightly held pollen to fall off the anthers and land on the legs and body of the pollinator or directly on to the stigma of the same flower. Buzz pollination occurs in other species with similar flower morphology, such as some plants in the tomato family.

"Stars are never sleeping
Dead ones and the living
We live closer to the earth
Never to the heavens
The stars are never far away

as a satellite straight lines itself under the milky way, it reminds me so much of drawing on a old Etch -A- Sketch. With precise turning of the left and right knobs, one could create a perfect diagonal line, much like this satellite in orbit. I'm not saying that satellites are controlled by some dude with his hands on the knobs of this red framed device, but if one day I look up and see satellites zig-zagging in rapid succession...well maybe...just saying.
Space above the 518. With the heavenly body of a Pentax K3 and a 14mm lens.

I love the stars. Because they do not judge anyone.”

E le stelle restano sempre lì, dentro di me, per ricordarmi che siamo esseri sempre più fragili ed effimeri in un cosmo buio, vuoto ed immenso. Piccole comparse nello spazio e nel tempo. Eppure ce ne dimentichiamo, mentre invece dovremmo avere molto più rispetto per questa piccola grande meraviglia che è la vita. Inclusa la nostra.
The Big Dipper and Little Dipper are asterisms (grouping of stars) in the sky that are not constellations. The Big and Little Dippers are perhaps the most recognizable asterism in the sky, serving as a guidepost for the northerly direction and one's latitude. In this image, the dippers are low near the horizon because I took this image in central Thailand at about 13 degrees north latitude. The North Star is therefore about 13 degrees above the north horizon point.
