Un analema es esa curva en forma de 8 que se obtiene cuando se marca la posición del Sol a la misma hora todos los días durante un año.

Pero el truco para obtener imágenes de un analema de la Luna es esperar un poco más. En promedio, la Luna vuelve a la misma posición en el cielo unos 50 minutos y 29 segundos más tarde cada día. Así que se fotografió la Luna 50 minutos y 29 segundos más tarde en días sucesivos.

Durante una lunación o mes lunar, trazará una curva similar a un analema a medida que la posición real de la Luna se desvía debido a su órbita inclinada y elíptica. Para crear esta imagen compuesta de un analema lunar, el astrónomo Gyorgy Soponyai eligió un mes lunar del 26 de marzo al 18 de abril del 2020 con un buen tiempo y un sitio cerca de casa cerca de Mogyorod, Hungría.

Amanecer del 2 de Enero, cerca del Lago Ontario en Canada.

Hoy nuestro planeta pasó por su Perihelio, es decir, por el punto de su órbita más cercano al Sol. En ese momento, aunque sea imperceptible para los humanos, viajamos la endiablada velocidad de 110.700 kilómetros por hora (o, lo que es lo mismo, 30,75 kilómetros por segundo).

The Exploration Behind the Inspiration at NASA

Are we alone? How did we get here? Where are we headed?

At NASA, our mission is to explore. We visit destinations in our solar system and study worlds beyond to better understand these big questions.

We also dream. We dream of traveling to distant worlds, and what that might be like. In the video above you can see fanciful, imagined adventures to real places we’ve studied at NASA.

How We Did It

Check out how we created these otherworldly scenes in the video below. A NASA videographer used green screens to add motion and real people to bring life to our series of solar system and exoplanet travel posters.

Let’s dive into one example from the video. The shot of kayaking on Titan showcases the real rivers and lakes of liquid methane and ethane that slosh and flow on Saturn's largest moon. Titan's mysterious surface was revealed by our Cassini spacecraft, which also deployed the European Space Agency’s Huygens probe to the surface. The atmosphere on Titan is so thick, and the gravity so light, that with each strike of a paddle, you might be lofted above the swift current as you ride the tides through a narrow strait called the Throat of Kraken. NASA scientist Mike Malaska studies Titan and collaborated on the poster featured in the video. His research informed the artwork, and so did a hobby: kayaking. Those ultra-cold chemical seas might be even more of a challenge than shown here. Your boat might crack, or even dissolve, Malaska said.

We’ll learn more about Titan when our Dragonfly mission of dual quadcoptors — rotorcraft with eight blades each — visits the icy moon in 2034.

Science Never Stops

Our understanding of other worlds is always evolving, and sometimes we learn new details after we illustrate our science. In one of our travel posters, we show a traveler standing on the surface of exoplanet Kepler-16b with two shadows formed by the planet’s two suns. The planet does indeed orbit two stars, but with later size and mass refinements, we now think it would be hard to stand there and enjoy a binary sunset. There isn't a solid surface to stand on a gas planet, and that's what Kepler-16b now appears to be!

In addition to sharing how sublime science can be, these scenes are a reminder that there are lots of careers in the space program, not just scientist, engineer, or astronaut. A creative team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California produced the travel posters, originally to help share the work of NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program. They are the result of lots of brainstorming and discussion with real NASA scientists, engineers, and expert communicators. The video versions of these spacey travel scenes were produced by visualization experts at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

All of this work is meant to inspire, and to explore the edge of possibility. It’s also an invitation. With science, we’re stepping into the future. Join us?

This is Herschel’s Garnet Star! 🌟🌟🌟

If Herschel’s Garnet Star and the Sun were placed both at a same distance of 10 parsecs, this star would be 100,000 times brighter than our Sun! It is so big that if it were in the Solar System, it would engulf up to the orbit of Jupiter! ✨✨✨
