81. Astro-Blogging
    Musing of an amateur astronomer. Covering astronomical happenings among the planets, stars and beyond.  
    http://astro-blogging.blogspot.com/
    
    Extractions: If you're like me, you have recently acquired some new astronomy equipment. Be it a telescope, eyepiece, filter, camera, or other such attachment. You're dying to get out and see what it can do under the darkest of skies. Winter, in some respects, is an ideal time to observe. It gets dark really early and stays dark until mid morning. However, a number of things need to line up before you can take advantage of this long dark spell. First and foremost, skies are far more likely to be cloudy in the winter than they are in the summer... or any other time of year for that matter. Secondly, even when skies are clear, this tends to lead to winters second draw back... its just plain cold in the winter. Sometimes, really cold. So, what's an astronomer to do? Well, rest up :) Seriously. I've missed a couple of the few clear nights because I was simply too tired to head outside for the evening. You definitely want to make sure that this happens as rarely as possible. Additionally, update your list of online resources :) Sometimes, we need to get our astro-fix vicariously. Skies are always clear... somewhere. Someone is always feeling well rested and able to get out. Following is a list of a handful of sites that I like to visit whenever I need to have the itch scratched:

    Extractions: The Astrophysics Spectator Home Topics Interactive Pages Commentary ... Information Contact Information Send e-mail to the editor. RSS Channel The Astrophysics Spectator Channel Over the past several decades, a handful of familiar stars in nearby galaxies have exploded in supernovae. Most of these stars were red supergiants, which matches the theoretical expectation that most supernovae occur when the core of a red supergiant star collapses . By chance, however, the nearest recent supernova was a rarity: an exploding blue supergiant. This was the supernova SN 1987A, and it is the best studied of all supernovae explosions, having occurred in Large Magellanic Cloud, which is a neighboring galaxy to our own Milky Way Galaxy. The basic theory behind core-collapse supernovae is that a massive star exhausts the thermonuclear fuel at its core; without a source of energy to compensate for the energy radiated away by the star, the core is unable to resist the force of gravity, and it collapses. The sudden release of gravitational potential energy as the core collapses to a neutron star blows the outer layers of the star away. These expanding layers emit the light we see in the supernovae. SN 1987A confirmed part of this theory when the neutrinos released during the collapse of the star's core were detected by underground neutrino detectors . Why the star was a blue supergiant rather than a red supergiant, however, is something of a puzzle. The page added with this issue discusses the many unusual characteristics of

83. Dendera Zodiac, Senmut Map, - Senmut

Maya codexes, Chinese funeral banner of markiza Tai, Jing-Jang Pakua explanations. ASTRONOMY IN DENDERA ZODIAC AND IN SENMUT TOMB Introduction Natural virtue of man is curiosity and desire to understand mysterious and odd phenomena, texts, signs and images. After vanished civilizations and cultures of Egypt, Summer, after biblical nations and actually past whole mankind of lapsed times remained many of not solved and unsettled messages, texts, strange tablets, zodiacs, engravings, maps, schemes to which many of us flashback with attempts to penetrate. Secret of Dendera Zodiac Secret of this zodiac is in his astronomical meaning. It could be an important astronomical discovery. Original Dendera Zodiac is placed in museum in Louvre, Paris. Copy of this zodiac is in Dendera. Persons, animals and signs, which we find displayed inside of zodiac are celestial bodies as planets, Sun, Tenth planet (X), constellations. They can also simply show directions and shapes of orbits of planet X, when this one is crossing or is to near to orbit of particular planet of our solar system. picture denderasouth
