Astronomy and Space Science - For Explorers of All Ages
View allAll Photos Tagged astronomy
And so thanks to the incredible generosity of my best friend Vera (Professional Voice Actor - Click Here ), I got a loan to get me the Tamron 150-600mm G2 A022 Telescopic Lens, of which I trialled this morning, after waking far too early. It had occurred to me after receiving the lens I could use the full focal length and zoom in on garden pots, flowers and other blooms that are on balconies and out of reach areas, but look really good. So hence I leaned over my balcony and got this shot of a beautiful Night Sky Petunia, I actually came up with the title before I had ID'd the flower.
But now I have an ear worm of Metallica's cover of Astronomy from the Garage Days album playing in my head, so now with this massive, professional lens, I can now play with the big Boys and Girls! I've more shots on the way, stay tuned!
In the meantime, it's Friday so enjoy the weekend people and as always, thank you! :)
PS: Zoom in ;)

After several people have photographed the sun showing the large sunspot it has these days, I took out the sun filter, that I made for the sun eclipse last year, and photographed it as well. It is huge and beautiful.

A beautiful sight over Devon. Cloud cover gave a chance to see the sun with a safety covering.
No, non voglio la Luna..
Ma ecco cosa vorrei.
Per me stesso, vorrei restare sempre in salute, cosa da non dare mai per scontata.
E nella vita, in generale, trovare un nuovo equilibrio nel quale costruire per bene tutto il resto e iniziare un percorso nuovo.
Più semplicemente, non vorrei niente di più di quello che ho, vorrei non perdere nulla.
Ma vorrei tanto che le persone più care attorno a me trovassero sempre la serenità ed un sorriso, anche grazie a me.
Parlando del mondo, vorrei che la Luna fosse vista da tutti per quello che è: un mondo magico che galleggia nel cielo sopra di noi e che ci fa sentire piccoli piccoli e fragili...
e proprio per questo, ci aiuti ad essere più uniti, intenzionati a costruire invece che a distruggere,
concentrati a proteggere il nostro mondo invece che ignorare le sue grida in nome del profitto.
E infine vorrei che per il giovani, i più giovani, fosse un anno di nuova speranza per contare di più, per trovare un loro posto nel presente e con meno paura nei confronti del futuro.
Un futuro in cui si sentiranno protagonisti e non semplici comparse. Un futuro che, mi auguro, sia cominciato alla mezzanotte di oggi.
Buon 2023!

On Wednesday the Moon was in a Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts round 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon will rise in the east in mid-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible though most of the night sky setting a few hour before sunrise.
