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.

I set out to capture the Zodiacal light this evening and while I was getting my setup as I wanted it I managed to also capture the few minutes of Astronomical Twilight. The purple hue lasts only a few minutes and is a beautiful sight. The orange glow on the left is from the street lights of Belmullet, Co. Mayo. Also captured here is the Milky Way with the Andromeda Galaxy just above the rear mast on the boat! You can just start to see the Zodiacal light starting to shine through above the bow of the boat.

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.

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.
