Astronomy picture of the day - 14-03-2015 - Tetons and Snake River, Planet Earth
Image Credit & Copyright: Babak Tafreshi (TWAN)
Explanation: An alluring night skyscape, this scene looks west across the Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA, Planet Earth. The Snake River glides through the foreground, while above the Tetons' rugged mountain peaks the starry sky is laced with exceptionally strong red and green airglow. That night, the luminous atmospheric glow was just faintly visible to the eye, its color and wavey structure captured only by a sensitive digital camera. In fact, this contemporary digital photograph matches the location and perspective of a well-known photograph from 1942 - The Tetons and The Snake River , by Ansel Adams, renowned photographer of the American West. Adams' image is one of 115 images stored on the Voyager Golden Record. Humanity's message in a bottle, golden records were onboard both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft, launched in 1977 and now headed toward interstellar space.

Aconteceu a 13 de março de...1964 - Espectaculo de Sylvie Vartan em Lisboa
A 13 de Março de 1964, milhares de jovens aguardam, em Lisboa, junto à entrada do Teatro Monumental, a chegada da cançonetista pop francesa Sylvie Vartan, na altura com 19 anos de idade. A sessão das 18:30 está esgotada. Centenas de rapazes e raparigas procuram obter, a todo o custo, bilhetes para a sessão das 21:30 ou para as duas sessões do dia seguinte, a fim de poder ouvir Sylvie cantar, entre outras, a canção Si je chante.
Este espectáculo, apresentado por Henrique Mendes, conta com a presença da orquestra francesa de Eddie Vartan, Paula Ribas, Victor Gomes com os seus Gatos Negros e Les Fanatic’s. A 15 de Março, seria a vez dos jovens do norte verem ao vivo Sylvie Vartan no Pavilhão dos Desportos. Para além dos artistas que actuaram em Lisboa, o espectáculo do Porto contou ainda com a presença de Armindo Costa, na altura mais conhecido por Armindo Rock, acompanhado por Os Tártaros. Vasco Morgado, organizador desta série de espectáculos integrados no Festival de Ritmos Modernos, pagou a Sylvie Vartan 300 contos por esta sua tournée de 3 dias. Na altura, poder-se-ia comprar com este valor, por exemplo, seis excelentes carros novos de boa qualidade.

Astronomy picture of the day - 13-09-2015 - The Great Wall by Moonlight
Image Credit & Copyright: Francis Audet
Explanation: Last Friday, an almost Full Moon rose as the Sun set, over this mountainous landscape north of Beijing, China. Also near apogee, the farthest point in its elliptical orbit around planet Earth, it was this year's smallest and faintest Full Moon. The Jiankou section of the Great Wall of China meanders through the scene, the ancient Great Wall itself the subject of an older-than-the-space-age myth that it would be visible to the eye when standing on the lunar surface. But even from low Earth orbit, the large scale artifact of human civilization is very difficult to identify. At its farthest from our fair planet, the Moon shines brightly in the twilight sky though, posing in the faint, pinkish band known as the antitwilight arch or the belt of Venus.

Astronomy picture of the day - 12-03-2015 - Along the Cygnus Wall
Image Credit & Copyright: Jimmy Walker
Explanation: The W-shaped ridge of emission featured in this vivid skyscape is known as the Cygnus Wall. Part of a larger emission nebula with a distinctive outline popularly called The North America Nebula, the cosmic ridge spans about 20 light-years. Constructed using narrowband data to highlight the telltale reddish glow from ionized hydrogen atoms recombining with electrons, the two frame mosaic image follows an ionization front with fine details of dark, dusty forms in silhouette. Sculpted by energetic radiation from the region's young, hot, massive stars, the dark shapes inhabiting the view are clouds of cool gas and dust with stars likely forming within. The North America Nebula itself, NGC 7000, is about 1,500 light-years away.
