Además, el Centro KBR de Barcelona dedica una gran retrospectiva a Minor White, una de las figuras fundamentales de la fotografía del siglo XX, con imágenes que se muestran por primera vez en Europa y que recorren algunos de los temas centrales de su obra, como el paisaje, el retrato y el desnudo masculino.El programa se acerca también a la historia del teatro y del cine español con la adaptación de La escopeta nacional, la célebre comedia de Luis García Berlanga y Rafael Azcona, dirigida por Juan Echanove en el Teatro Español de Madrid. Nuestra colaboradora Xaviera Torres recuerda el descubrimiento de los infrarrojos por parte del astrónomo William Herschel, mientras que Enrique Mejías nos lleva hasta el Festival de Bayreuth, el certamen creado por Richard Wagner que celebra este verano su 150 aniversario y sigue siendo una de las grandes citas de la música clásica internacional.Escuchar audio

Matthew Shindell examines the Scientific Revolution, noting how pioneers like Galileo and Newton gradually replaced ancient models with modern physics and natural history. By the 18th century, William Herschel popularized the idea of an inhabited Mars, believing it to be the most Earth-like planet in the solar system. This curiosity peaked with Giovanni Schiaparelli's mapping of Martian "canals," which Percival Lowell later interpreted as evidence of a desperate, dying civilization. Shindell notes that H.G. Wells transformed these projections into satire, using The War of the Worlds to critique British imperialism through the lens of an alien invasion. (3/4)september 1941

Many astronomical discoveries have come in stages – a series of “aha” moments where we learn more about the nature of an object. A good example is Messier 13, the Great Hercules Cluster. Under especially dark skies, it’s just visible to the unaided eye, so people have known about it forever. It looks like a faint, hazy star. But during the 1700s, the cluster was “discovered” several times. The first discovery was made by Edmond Halley. Using a small telescope, he came across it in 1714. He described it as “a little patch.” Charles Messier saw it a half-century later. He described it as “round, beautiful, and brilliant.” But, he wrote, “I am sure it doesn’t contain any star.” He made it the 13th object in his catalog. In 1779, though, William Herschel contradicted Messier. M13 “is a most beautiful cluster of stars,” he wrote. Many other discoveries have followed. They’ve told us that M13 contains hundreds of thousands of stars packed into a tight ball. And the cluster is ancient – 12 billion years old or older. Messier 13 is 25,000 light-years away. In early evening, look in the east-northeast for the Keystone of Hercules – a lopsided “square” of stars. M13 is between the two stars at the top of that pattern, a bit closer to the one on the left – a giant cluster that’s still producing amazing discoveries. Script by Damond Benningfield

La storia dell'astronomia di fine 800: John Herschel scoprì Nettuno quasi allo stesso modo in cui suo padre, William Herschel, aveva scoperto Urano nel 1781, cioè con un'osservazione casuale. Le Verriere e Adams giunsero alla stessa conclusione su Nettuno. Padre Angelo Secchi disegnò una delle prime mappe di Marte e Giovanni Schiapparelli scopre i canali di Marte .A cura dell'ing. Carlo Rossi con Maria Letizia La Noce per Radio Blue Point.

Uranus is the seventh planet of the solar system, so it’s a long way from both the Sun and Earth. Right now, it’s about 1.7 billion miles away. At that distance, under especially dark skies it’s barely bright enough to see with the eye alone. It’s easy to pick out with binoculars, though. This is an especially good week to look for the planet because it reaches opposition, when it lines up opposite the Sun. It rises around sunset and is in view all night. And it shines brightest for the entire year. In early evening, it’s close to the lower right of another good binocular target, the Pleiades star cluster. Even though Uranus is sometimes visible to the eye alone, it’s so faint that no one realized it was planet for a long time. Every astronomer who saw Uranus logged it as a star, missing out on a chance at immortality. It was officially discovered as a planet by British astronomer William Herschel, in 1781. But even he was fooled by it for a while. When he first saw it, he thought it was a comet. But calculations of its orbit showed that the object was much too far away to be a comet – it had to be a planet, and a big one. Herschel wanted to call it George’s Star after his patron, King George III. Astronomers outside Britain weren’t crazy about that. So almost 70 years later, they finally named it for a Greek god of the sky: Uranus. More about Uranus tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

Tras ser la más prometedora de su generación, la astrónoma española Estrella Noval se siente estancada en su anodino puesto en un centro de investigación en Madrid. Pero su monótono mundo se ve sacudido cuando se entera de que un joven científico con el que vivió una historia de amor ha aparecido muerto en Londres. En ese momento llega a sus manos un extraño mensaje que tendrá que descifrar y que terminará arrastrándola a una carrera contrarreloj ayudada por Tobías Satrústegui, acechados por un poderoso competidor que está dispuesto a cualquier cosa para frenarlos. Y mucho tiene que ver en esta historia encriptada la astronomía, William Herschel y el Real Observatorio de Madrid.Hablamos con el periodista, divulgador, comisario Miguel Ángel Delgado, autor de El cuaderno nocturno (Ed.

Entre las estrellas de Andrómeda, no muy lejos de la gran galaxia M31, se esconde un objeto mucho más modesto en tamaño pero con cierto atractivo: NGC 7662, la nebulosa Bola de Nieve Azul. A primera vista puede confundirse con una estrella, pero al telescopio revela un pequeño disco brillante, compacto, con un tinte azulado que en algunos observadores aparece con claridad y en otros apenas se insinúa. Ese carácter engañoso fue lo que inspiró a William Herschel a acuñar el término nebulosa planetaria. En este episodio repasamos qué es NGC 7662, cómo se descubrió y qué nos cuenta sobre el destino de estrellas como el Sol. También compartimos experiencias de observación con telescopios de distintos tamaños: desde prismáticos hasta grandes aperturas que revelan anillos, halos y detalles internos sorprendentes. Un objeto pequeño, sí, pero capaz de transformar la experiencia de la astronomía visual en una lección de paciencia y detalle. Enlaces y formas de contacto: https://linktr.ee/luces_x

Un hallazgo con el telescopio James Webb confirma una nueva y diminuta luna en órbita del planeta Urano  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  Astrónomos han detectado una luna desconocida alrededor de Urano gracias al telescopio espacial James Webb. Se llama provisionalmente S/2025 U1, mide unos 10 kilómetros de diámetro y eleva a 29 la lista de lunas confirmadas del planeta.  El planeta Urano, famoso por sus anillos oscuros y su inclinación extrema, acaba de sumar una luna diminuta a su colección. Los científicos del Southwest Research Institute en Colorado la encontraron con la cámara infrarroja del telescopio espacial James Webb, tras una serie de exposiciones largas que duraron varias horas. La bautizaron temporalmente S/2025 U1, porque la Unión Astronómica Internacional aún no le da un nombre oficial. Con este hallazgo, Urano ya tiene 29 lunas conocidas. ¿Será que hay muchas más escondidas en la oscuridad?  Pero la Voyager 2 nunca la pudo ver.  La nueva luna de Urano es pequeñísima: mide apenas 10 kilómetros de ancho. Para ponerlo en perspectiva, es como el trayecto entre Bogotá y Soacha, o como un paseo corto en auto. Esta roca helada fue invisible durante décadas porque su brillo es muy bajo y está pegada a un planeta inmenso y luminoso. En 1986, la sonda Voyager 2 pasó muy cerca de Urano, a tan solo 81.500 kilómetros, pero ni siquiera sus cámaras detectaron este objeto. Gracias a la sensibilidad del telescopio James Webb en el infrarrojo, los astrónomos pudieron aislarla entre el resplandor del planeta y sus anillos. El hallazgo recuerda que todavía quedan secretos escondidos en nuestro propio sistema solar.  Urano tiene un sistema muy complejo de anillos y lunas pequeñas que los científicos llaman “satélites interiores”. Allí hay un enredo entre rocas, hielo y polvo que funciona casi como un engranaje cósmico. Algunas lunas ayudan a mantener en forma los anillos, empujando el material para que no se disperse. El problema es que esas lunas son tan pequeñas y oscuras que resulta difícil detectarlas. Matthew Tiscareno, del Instituto SETI, explica que ningún otro planeta tiene tantas lunas internas tan diminutas como Urano. Esto complica la investigación porque cada una interactúa con los anillos y puede alterar su forma. El hallazgo de S/2025 U1 abre la pregunta de cuántos satélites más podrían estar escondidos, invisibles para la tecnología que hemos usado hasta ahora.  Los cálculos muestran que S/2025 U1 está a 56.000 kilómetros del centro de Urano y se mueve en una órbita circular, lo que indica que pudo haberse formado allí mismo. Su posición está entre las órbitas de las lunas Ofelia y Bianca. Los astrónomos creen que este hallazgo es apenas el inicio, porque hay pistas de que existen más lunas diminutas que podrían actuar como “pastores” de los anillos, ordenando su estructura. El telescopio James Webb, con su sensibilidad al infrarrojo, tiene la capacidad de seguir encontrando estos cuerpos invisibles para otros observatorios. Y en el futuro, si la misión Uranus Orbiter and Probe se aprueba para 2044, podríamos tener un catálogo mucho más completo de este sistema enredado. Por ahora, el pequeño satélite sin nombre nos recuerda que incluso los gigantes helados todavía guardan sorpresas.  Urano fue descubierto en 1781 por William Herschel, y sus primeras lunas, Titania y Oberón, en 1787. Desde entonces, la tradición es nombrar las lunas con personajes de Shakespeare y Alexander Pope. Así tenemos a Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Ofelia y hasta Julieta. De las 29 lunas confirmadas, 27 siguen esa convención. Muy pronto, la Unión Astronómica Internacional decidirá qué personaje recibirá el honor de darle identidad a S/2025 U1. Además, Urano tiene 13 anillos descubiertos, mucho más oscuros que los de Saturno, lo que los hace difíciles de estudiar. La Voyager 2, en su paso de 1986, reveló 11 lunas nuevas y dos anillos que no conocíamos, pero hoy el James Webb abre un capítulo aún más detallado. Este descubrimiento también es un ejemplo de cómo la astronomía actual sigue construyendo sobre las misiones pioneras del pasado.  El James Webb encontró una nueva luna en Urano: apenas 10 kilómetros de ancho, invisible hasta ahora. Con este hallazgo, las lunas conocidas ya son 29, y se esperan más. ¿Cuál será su nombre shakesperiano? Cuéntame tu opinión y sigue el pódcast Flash Diario.  Urano tiene nueva luna: mide 10 km y fue descubierta por el James Webb, invisible hasta para la Voyager 2.

"Er durchbrach die Grenzen des Himmels", das steht auf dem Grab von William Herschel geschrieben. Der in Hannover gebürtige Herschel ist uns als Musiker bekannt, aber berühmt wurde er als Astronom. Er entdeckte Sternenbilder und zeigte die auch seinen Zeitgenossen. Der Blick ins Weltall konnte allerdings wahrhaft schockierend sein. Davon zeugt ein wichtiges musikalisches Dokument. "Die Schöpfung". Bevor Joseph Haydn die zu komponieren begann, erlebte er diesen Schock - den Blick in die Ewigkeit.

A gazelle leaps past the feet of the great bear. In ancient skylore, in fact, it made three leaps – each marked by a pair of stars. The stars that mark the first jump are known as Alula Borealis and Alula Australis – the northern and southern first leaps. As night falls this evening, they’re high in the northwest. They’re far to the left of the Big Dipper, which has the most prominent stars of the great bear. The “alulas” are close together, so they resemble a pair of eyes. Alula Australis holds an important distinction in the history of astronomy. A telescope reveals it’s a “double” star – two stars that are close together. By measuring the motions of the stars, in the late 18th century, astronomer William Herschel showed that they’re bound to each other. That made the system the first confirmed binary – two stars that move through space together, tied by their mutual gravitational pull. A few decades later, it became the first binary to have its orbit accurately measured. The stars orbit each other once every 60 years, at an average distance of more than 20 times the distance from Earth to the Sun. In more modern times, astronomers found that both stars are binaries on their own – each has a small, faint companion in a tight orbit. So the first leap of the gazelle consists of at least four stars, leaping through the galaxy as a family. We’ll talk about the second leap tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

"Er durchbrach die Grenzen des Himmels", das steht auf dem Grab von William Herschel geschrieben. Herschel ist uns als Musiker bekannt, aber berühmt wurde er als Astronom. Er entdeckte Sternenbilder und zeigte die auch seinen Zeitgenossen. Der Blick ins Weltall konnte allerdings wahrhaft schockierend sein. Davon zeugt ein wichtiges musikalisches Dokument. "Die Schöpfung". Bevor Joseph Haydn die zu komponieren begann, erlebte er diesen Schock - den Blick in die Ewigkeit. Unser ZOOM fängt diese Begebenheit ein.

What shall we talk about this week? Probably not really about this comic book. How about we talk about a specific organ that is explicitly talked about in this issue? Yes, I am talking about hair.....wait....no....that is not right......I am talking about the heart. But what heart are we talking about?  First of all, I will go ahead and give all credit to Wikipedia for what you are about to read. I am not that original. And I really do not want to be that creative. I think this is just more fun. Heart is an American rock band formed in 1973 in Seattle, Washington. The band evolved from previous projects led by founding members Roger Fisher (guitar) and Steve Fossen (bass guitar), including The Army (1967–1969), Hocus Pocus (1969–1970), and White Heart (1970–1973). Heart is a framework developed by Google to help the products and development teams to make decisions that serve business and user-centered. Heart is a framework for mobile design and metrics. It is an acronym that stands for happiness, engagement, adoption, retention and task success. Included by Gartner as a design approach that accommodates mobile interface issues such as partial user attention and interruption. Heart is a 1987 American sports drama film directed by James Lemmo (in his directorial debut), from a screenplay by Lemmo and Randy Jurgensen, who also produced the film. It stars Brad Davis, Jesse Doran, Steve Buscemi, Frank Adu, Sam Gray, Billy Costello, and Frances Fisher. A punch-drunk boxer is set up as an easy win for an up-and-coming young boxer in this melodrama. The highlight of the film is the performance of Steve Buscemi as the oily, mob-connected fight promoter Nicky. Eddie (Brad Davis) is the addle-brained boxer Nicky hangs out to dry for quick money. Heart of Midlothian Football Club, commonly known as Hearts, is a professional football club in Edinburgh, Scotland. The team competes in the Scottish Premiership, the top division of Scottish football. Hearts, the oldest and most successful football club in the Scottish capital, was formed in 1874, its name influenced by Walter Scott's novel The Heart of Midlothian. The club crest is based on the Heart of Midlothian mosaic on the city's Royal Mile; the team's colors are maroon and white. The Heart Nebula (also known as the Running dog nebula, IC 1805, Sharpless 2-190) is an emission nebula, 7500 light years away from Earth and located in the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was discovered by William Herschel on 3 November 1787. It displays glowing ionized hydrogen gas and darker dust lanes. "Heart" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys from their second studio album, Actually (1987). It was released as the album's fourth and final single on 21 March 1988 by Parlophone. The song topped the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in April 1988, becoming the duo's fourth and final chart-topper to date in the United Kingdom. Its music video was directed by Jack Bond and filmed in Yugoslavia. The group had initially written the song for Madonna, though they never asked her to record it, instead keeping it for themselves. Heart Peaks, originally known as the Heart Mountains, is a mountain massif in the Northern Interior of British Columbia, Canada. It is 90 km (56 mi) northwest of the small community of Telegraph Creek and just southwest of Callison Ranch. With a maximum elevation of 2,012 m (6,601 ft), it rises above the surrounding landscape on the Nahlin Plateau, which is part of the western Stikine Plateau. Heart Peaks has been an area of prospecting since the 1980s with the discovery of precious metals. The Heart is a 2014 realistic and medical fiction novel by the French author Maylis de Kerangal. It chronicles the events immediately following the death of 19-year-old Simon Limbres in a car accident. In particular, The Heart focuses on the transplantation of Simon's heart and how it affects those involved in the process, including Simon's parents, the physicians, the nurses, the organ transplant coordinators, the recipient, and the recipient's family, over the course of twenty-four hours.   Check out the pictures from this issue:  https://jeffandrickpresent.wordpress.com/2024/04/18/avengers-academy-33-what-the-heart-wants-part-2/   We also have some merchandise over at Redbubble.

(NOTAS Y ENLACES DEL CAPÍTULO AQUÍ: https://www.jaimerodriguezdesantiago.com/kaizen/186-el-misterio-de-la-vida-v-mas-alla-de-la-tierra/)«Existen dos posibilidades: o estamos solos en el universo o no lo estamos. Ambas son igualmente aterradoras»Estas palabras de Arthur C. Clarke resumen mucho de lo que nos quedaba por tratar en relación al misterio de la vida. Hasta ahora nos hemos asomado a los orígenes del universo y de nuestro planeta, a cómo nació la vida en él, cómo evolucionó en una larga cadena ininterrumpida hasta cada planta y cada animal de los que poblamos hoy la Tierra y las enormes preguntas que nos despierta esa característica tan extraña que tenemos los humanos, la consciencia. Pero en todos estos capítulos había al menos un par de enormes elefantes en la habitación, como dicen en inglés, a los que hemos tratado de dejar aparcados. Por un lado, la que seguramente sea la pregunta más importante de todas, al menos para los que estamos vivos hoy: ¿qué sucede cuando acaba la vida? Algo que vamos a dejar para otro momento. Porque hoy toca atender al otro elefante: a la duda de si estamos o no solos en el Universo. La verdad es que está siendo una temporada de temas sencillitos, ¿eh? No aprendo.  ¿Te gusta kaizen?

Y, además, cuantos misterios detrás de las diminutas estrellas que vemos. Por ejemplo, ¿sabías que existen estrellas binarias que permanecen unidas durante toda su vida, orbitando alrededor de un centro común? El primero en descubrir y catalogar estas estrellas fue el astrónomo William Herschel.Existen cuatro tipos de estrellas binarias. Las estrellas binarias visuales pueden ser vistas a través del telescopio. Las estrellas binarias eclipsantes solo pueden ser observadas cuando una de las estrellas pasa frente a la otra. Las binarias espectroscópicas pueden identificarse porque emiten colores diferentes cuando se mueven. Por último, están las binarias astrométricas, en fas que una estrella es visible y fa otra no, y solo puede ser identificada por medio de la posición de la estrella visible.Así como el movimiento de las estrellas binarias depende de la proximidad y del grado de atracci6n gravitacional entre ellas, nuestra vida depende de nuestra proximidad con Dios y de cómo nos dejamos atraer por su amor y su compasión. Sin nuestra conexión eterna con él, somos solamente estrellas solitarias e incompletas, perdidas en el espacio.Somos diferentes y eso solo comprueba la grandeza de la creación del Padre. Sin embargo, todos tenemos en común la necesidad de proximidad con Dios. Cuanto más íntimamente nos conectamos a él, mayor es nuestra capacidad de revelar su amor. Al hacer esto, EI nos transforma en estrellas binarias astrométricas, ocultándonos en la luz de Cristo, para que él brille y sea glorificado a través de nuestra existencia.

PREVIEW: From a much longer conversation, historian Matthew Shindell, author of the new FOR THE LOVE OF MARS, explains how the famous 18th Century astronomer, William Herschel, regarded Mars in particular and all the planets in general in terms of the questions about life other than on Earth..

Christiaan Huygens descubrió en 1656 la primera de las lunas de Saturno con un telescopio de su propia invención y le dio el nombre de Luna Saturni, hoy la conocemos como Titán. Giovanni Domenico Cassini descubrió las cuatro siguientes: Jápeto (1671), Rea (1672), Dione (1684) y Tetis (1684).En 1789, el año de la Revolución francesa, William Herschel descubrió las lunas Mimas y Encélado. En 1847 su hijo John Herschel propuso en sus Observaciones Astronómicas hechas en el Cabo de Buena Esperanza los nombres de los titanes, hermanos y hermanas de Crono (el nombre griego del dios romano Saturno) para los siete satélites de Saturno conocidos. Los siguiente dos satélites se descubrieron en 1848 y en 1898 y fueron llamados Hiperión y Febe. Conforme fue aumentando la calidad de las lentes y de los telescopios, se fueron descubriendo más lunas. En 1966 aparecieron Epimeteo y Jano. Cuando en 1997 se lanzó la misión espacial Cassini-Huygens cuya misión es precisamente investigar Saturno y sus lunas, ya se conocían 18 satélites de Saturno. Hasta el momento se conocen 62 satélites que orbitan alrededor del planeta de los anillos. De ellos 53 tienen clasificación oficial de lunas (esto quiere decir que tienen nombre) y los otros 9 son provisionales.

Nuacht Mhall: Cothrom an Lae, i gcomhair Sheachtain na Gaeilge * Inniu an tríú lá déag de mhí an Mhárta. Is mise Siubhán Nic Amhlaoibh. Cothrom an lae seo sa bhliain 1781, thángthas ar an phláinéad Úránas, an chéad phláinéad a thángthas air ón chianaois. Agus é ag tabhairt faoi shuirbhéireacht ar na réaltaí, thug an réalteolaí Sasanach, William Herschel, faoi deara go raibh rud ag bogadh os comhair na réaltaí. Ar dtús, shíl sé gur cóiméad a bhí ann. Ach níos moille, agus níos mó staidéir déanta air, tuigeadh gur pláinéad a bhí ann, agus tugadh an t-ainm Úránas air, in ómós do cheann de sheandéithe na Gréige. I miotaseolaíocht na tíre sin, dia na spéire ab ea Úránas, a bhí pósta le Gáia, bandia an talaimh, agus ba iad na Tíotáin an chlann a bhí acu. * Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.
