Conhece todos os miradouros em Lisboa?... Panteão Nacional
At the top of the National Pantheon, right by the huge dome, you may look out to the river, 25 de Abril Bridge, the Alfama district, and the towers of St. Vincent Monastery right across from you.
No topo do Panteão Nacional, junto à sua grande cúpula, pode-se ficar a observar o Tejo, o bairro de Alfama, a Ponte 25 de Abril, e as torres do Mosteiro de São Vicente de Fora mesmo em frente.

Astronomy picture of the day - 2015 September 19 - A Prominence on the Sun
Image Credit & Copyright: Alan Friedman (Averted Imagination)
Explanation: This eerie landscape of incandescent plasma suspended in looping and twisted magnetic fields stretched toward the Sun's eastern horizon on September 16. Captured through a backyard telescope and narrowband filter in light from ionized hydrogen, the scene reveals a gigantic prominence lofted above the solar limb. Some 600,000 kilometers across, the magnetized plasma wall would dwarf worlds of the Solar System. Ruling gas giant Jupiter can only boast a diameter of 143,000 kilometers or so, while planet Earth's diameter is less than 13,000 kilometers. Known as a hedgerow prominence for its appearance, the enormous structure is far from stable though, and such large solar prominences often erupt.

Portugal/Chine - Ces Chinois qui font leur cinéma
L’octroi de permis de résidence dans le cadre du programme portugais des “visas dorés” concernait initialement les étrangers qui investissaient plus de 500 000 euros dans de l’immobilier. Depuis l’altération de la loi le 30 juin dernier, ces visas regardent également les investissements de 350 000 euros dans des activités scientifiques ou de 250 000 euros dans la production artistique locale.
Ainsi, alors que 2 465 “visas dorés” ont déjà été octroyés depuis leur création, 50 résidents chinois désirent utiliser le programme afin de tourner des films à Lisbonne ou à Porto. Ces candidats devront engager au minimum 250 000 euros dans la production de films de fiction. Un investissement non négligeable pour l’Etat portugais, qui a créé pour l’occasion la Portuguese Film Commission, afin de centraliser ces demandes spécifiques.

Astronomy picture of the day - 2015 September 18 - A Plutonian Landscape

Explanation: This shadowy landscape of majestic mountains and icy plains stretches toward the horizon of a small, distant world. It was captured from a range of about 18,000 kilometers when New Horizons looked back toward Pluto, 15 minutes after the spacecraft's closest approach on July 14. The dramatic, low-angle, near-twilight scene follows rugged mountains still popularly known as Norgay Montes from foreground left, and Hillary Montes along the horizon, giving way to smooth Sputnik Planum at right. Layers of Pluto's tenuous atmosphere are also revealed in the backlit view. With a strangely familiar appearance, the frigid terrain likely includes ices of nitrogen and carbon monoxide with water-ice mountains rising up to 3,500 meters (11,000 feet). That's comparable in height to the majestic mountains of planet Earth. This Plutonian landscape is 380 kilometers (230 miles) across.

Astronomy picture of the day - 2015 September 17 - Pickering's Triangle in the Veil

Explanation: Chaotic in appearance, these filaments of shocked, glowing gas break across planet Earth's sky toward the constellation of Cygnus, as part of the Veil Nebula. The Veil Nebula itself is a large supernova remnant, an expanding cloud born of the death explosion of a massive star. Light from the original supernova explosion likely reached Earth over 5,000 years ago. Blasted out in the cataclysmic event, the interstellar shock waves plow through space sweeping up and exciting interstellar material. The glowing filaments are really more like long ripples in a sheet seen almost edge on, remarkably well separated into the glow of ionized hydrogen and sulfur atoms shown in red and green, and oxygen in blue hues. Also known as the Cygnus Loop, the Veil Nebula now spans nearly 3 degrees or about 6 times the diameter of the full Moon. While that translates to over 70 light-years at its estimated distance of 1,500 light-years, this field of view spans less than one third that distance. Identified as Pickering's Triangle for a director of Harvard College Observatory and cataloged as NGC 6979, the complex of filaments might be more appropriately known as Williamina Fleming's Triangular Wisp.
