Gérard de Vaucouleurs was a very important astronomer, but at the same time completely ignored by the “classic popularizers”.I find very fascinating these “glimpses of the era” in which spectroscopy was already an established and refined method of investigation, although still under development.In addition to this interesting study of Martian climate, he specialized in the study of galaxies, adding the category Sbd in the Hubble scheme, allowing a more precise classification of galaxies, especially spiral ones. He was co-author of the Reference Catalog of Bright Galaxies (1964) of which in 1991 came out the final version the Third Reference Catalog of Bright Galaxies, commonly abbreviated in astronomy as RC3, in which the galaxies cataloged are more than 23000. In 2007 by other astronomers, an atlas of galaxies with this classification was published for the first time. He was honored by the American Astronomical Society with the Henry Norris Russell Lectureship award in 1988. In the same year he was also awarded the French Prix Jules Janssen prize.

Giorgio Bianciardi is Researcher/Aggregate Professor in the field of Pathological Anatomy, General Pathology, Complementary Medicine and Astrobiology at the University of Siena, where he has produced 370 works in print or presented at Congresses and books of popular science. In the field of astrobiology, in particular, he has developed works that bring evidence on the presence of life on Mars, past and present, and on the origin of life. He also deals with astronomical popularization and studies of stellar photometry, he is responsible for the UAI Remote Telescope and is President of the network of Italian remote telescopes ASTRA. He is Editor of the magazine Astronomy of the Italian Astrophiliac Union (UAI), founder of the Union of Astrophiliacs of Siena (1974), Director of the Provincial Astronomical Observatory of Montarrenti, Siena and Vice-President of the UAI. He is Leonardo Award 2010 for scientific divulgation. Asteroid 55418 bears his name. This post has been automatically translated. See the original post here.

An absolutely unmissable book, for those who are really passionate about Mars!Here you can download the pdf in English translated by the legendary Patrick Moore.Antoniadi was the first astronomer to explain the illusory nature of the alleged “channels” observed by the Italian astronomer G. V. Schiaparelli, through his observations made with a telescope four times more powerful than that used by Schiaparelli. The maps of Mars drawn by Antoniadi remained the most accurate and detailed until the beginning of space exploration of the red planet! 😉 Additional information: Eugène Michel Antoniadi https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eug%C3%A8ne_Michel_Antoniadi Patrick Moore https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Moore_(astronomer) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Moore This post has been automatically translated.

Evidently I was not the only one to have such suspicions when I saw the image, as I wrote in this post: https://www.facebook.com/pianetamarte2/photos/a.450183055039495.105255.447169305340870/1757417807649340/?type=3&theater Evidently Prof. Barry DiGregorio of the University of Buckingham also believes that there is something biological about those traces.

In this image taken at 23:11:46 UTC, you can see yet another transient light phenomenon near the terminator (lower right).At ESA they are tight-lipped despite numerous requests for clarification from me.Maybe in a few months we will know more … This post has been automatically translated.

This image, which was originally used to track the movement of sand dunes near the north pole of Mars, shows us soil with parallel striations oriented from the upper left corner to the lower right corner.These striations are due to neatly spaced piles of boulders.In terrestrial Arctic zones, similar structures are produced where the soil repeatedly undergoes cycles of melting and refreezing…… (Detail extracted from image https://www.uahirise.org/ESP_053937_2550 ) This post has been automatically translated.

Indulge me in a little humor, but…?What are they going to send into space this time, a “harley davidson”??!😂😂😂 This post has been automatically translated. See the original post here.
