The video above is a rough demonstration of the plan coming to fruition.
🤓 Did you know...
That the horizons of the universe are expanding at a much faster rate than the speed of light
🌛 An enthusiastic astrophotographer managed to capture the simultaneous rising of the Moon and Venus! Location: Honolulu, Hawaii.

Save to try in the suburbs:
Exposure: +3
Sensitivity reading (ICO): 3200
Shutter speed: 20 seconds
White balance: 5000K
Focus: maximum
A prerequisite before shooting would be a location with low light pollution and a good tripod.

Polar scientists showed that the Sun does not set over the horizon for 24 hours, and this proves the round shape of the Earth.
The conspiracy theorists' response killed: they called the clip computer graphics.
Wow, have you ever seen anything like this before? An enthusiastic photographer climbed high above the sea and captured an INCREDIBLE phenomenon that cannot be seen from the ground - the full rainbow effect.
The myth of treasure at the end of the rainbow is finally dispelled 🤔
❓ What are Saturn's rings made of?
At first glance, the rings may appear to be solid, but a closer look reveals that they are actually made up of many icy shards that continuously orbit the planet.
📡 Since their launch in 2019, Starlink satellites have almost completely occupied the outer layer of the Earth. Their number in orbit is +-6,500 units.
It is worth noting that the average size of Starlink satellites can be compared to a small-sized passenger car or the top of a large dining table, measuring 3×3 meters.

The following planets will participate in the parade: Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn can be seen with the naked eye if you try hard enough - Neptune and Uranus will require a telescope.
The BEST time to observe is 20:30 local time after sunset.
"If there is no God, who put a Christmas tree in space?"
NASA showed a photo of the "Christmas tree in the Universe": the Snowflake Scattered Star Cluster or NGC 2264, located in the constellation Unicorn.
Universal beauty!
🌎 How we think planets move around the sun vs How it really happens:
Читать полностью…This is what a painted moon looks like! NASA has shared an image of the satellite obtained from Galileo.
The unusual colours in the photo indicate the diversity of the soil:
🔴 - lunar uplands
🔵 - presence of titanium in the soil
🟠 - volcanic activity
☀️ Betelgeuse is a bright and one of the closest giant stars in the left shoulder of the constellation Orion.
Some interesting facts about the star:
- Betelgeuse is 1000 times (!) larger in diameter than our Sun!
- If it were located in place of our Sun, - Earth, Mars and Jupiter would have long been gone - the star would have completely swallowed them up.
- Scientists make predictions about the death of the star in the next 2-3 thousand years - at the peak of its explosion, which will last +- two months, the luminosity of Betelgeuse will exceed solar in (!) 1050 and more times - the death can be observed from Earth with the naked eye.
The rotation rates of the planets around their axis relative to the stars (sidereal days) 🌍
Planets rotate because they were formed from moving material. Momentum must be conserved, so the planets acquired their own rotation.
The bigger the planet, the more material it took to create it. And the more material, the greater the rate of rotation. (Note the rotation rate of Jupiter, Saturn).
