Starry sky online in real. Starry sky of Russia

It is generally accepted that during the day the stars are not visible. However, from the top of Mount Ararat (altitude 5,000 m), bright stars are clearly visible even at noon. The sky is dark blue. In a telescope with a lens diameter of 70 mm, bright stars can be seen even from flat terrain. But still, the stars are best observed at night, when the dazzling light of the Sun does not interfere.

The starry sky is one of the most beautiful sights that exist in nature. In the entire sky, about 6,000 stars can be seen with the naked eye.(simultaneously above the horizon about 3,000).

Since ancient times, people have mentally combined the most noticeable stars into figures and called them constellations. The constellations were associated with myths and legends. Today, a constellation is called a section of the starry sky with conditional boundaries., which includes not only stars, but also other objects - nebulae, galaxies, clusters. O objects that are part of a particular constellation are not connected with each other in any way, since they are, firstly, at different distances from the Earth, and secondly, the boundaries of the constellations are conditional, i.e. may be changed at any time.

Today, 88 constellations have been identified in the starry sky.


The Latin names of the constellations are also accepted. All atlases of the starry sky published abroad contain the Latin names of the constellations.

Constellations can be divided into three large groups: human (Aquarius, Cassiopeia, Orion...), animals (Hare, Swan, Whale...) and subject (Libra, Microscope, Shield...). For better memorization of the constellations, noticeable stars in them are usually connected by lines into polygons or bizarre figures. Below are: Ursa Major, Bootes, Virgo and Leo.


Since the constellations are areas, then they have an area. The areas of the constellations are different. The largest in area is the Hydra. In second place is Virgo. On the third - Ursa Major. The smallest constellation in terms of area is the Southern Cross (not visible in our latitudes).


Constellations differ in the number of bright stars. Most of the brightest stars are in Orion.

The bright stars of the constellations have their own names (usually invented by Arabic and Greek astronomers). For example, the brightest star in the constellation Lyra is Vega, in the constellation Cygnus is Deneb, in the constellation Aquila is Altair. Remember the names of the bucket stars Ursa Major:


The stars in the constellations also have designations. The letters of the Greek alphabet are used for designation:

α - alpha

β - beta

γ - gamma

δ - delta

ε - epsilon

ζ - zeta

η - this

etc. It is worth remembering the designation and pronunciation of at least the first seven Greek letters. This is how the stars of the Ursa Major bucket are designated:


Usually the brightest star in a constellation is denoted by the letter α (alpha). But not always. There are other systems for designating stars.

Since ancient times, star maps have been compiled. Usually they depicted not only stars, but also drawings of animals, people and objects with which the constellations were associated. Since there was no order in the name and number of constellations, star maps varied. It got to the point that various astronomers tried to introduce their own constellations (drawing the contours of the constellations in a new way). For example, in 1798 the astronomer Lalande proposed the constellation Balloon. In 1679, Halley introduced the constellation Oak Karla. There were many others exotic names(Ox of Poniatowski, Cat, Regalia of Friedrich, etc.). Only in 1922 were the conditional boundaries of the constellations finally drawn, their number and names were fixed.

For practical purposes, today they use a movable map of the starry sky, consisting of a map of the starry sky and an overlay circle with a carved oval. Here is the map:


Stars are indicated by circles of various sizes. The larger the circle, the brighter the star it depicts. Double, variable stars, galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters are also noted on star maps.

The starry sky slowly rotates. The reason is the rotation of the Earth around its axis. The earth rotates from west to east, and the starry sky, on the contrary, from east to west. Therefore, stars, planets and luminaries rise in the eastern side of the horizon, and set in the western. This movement is called diurnal rotation. It should be noted that the constellations during the daily rotation retain their relative position. The starry sky rotates as a whole, like a huge celestial sphere. The Earth makes one revolution around its axis in relation to the stars in 23 hours 56 minutes 04 seconds. This period is called sidereal days. Every 23 hours 56 minutes 04 seconds the view of the starry sky is repeated.

But this does not mean that if the Earth does not rotate around its axis, the sky will remain motionless. The appearance of the starry sky is influenced by the movement of the Earth around the Sun. If the Earth did not rotate, the appearance of the starry sky would still slowly change throughout the year. This phenomenon is called annual change in the appearance of the starry sky. We can observe that some constellations are best seen in autumn, others in winter, and so on.


Constellations can be divided according to the seasons of the year into autumn, winter, spring and summer. But this does not mean that only autumn constellations can be seen in autumn. On an early autumn evening, summer constellations dominate the sky. Over time, they tend to the west, the autumn constellations rise. In the morning, the winter constellations are perfectly visible.

The view of the starry sky also depends on the latitude of the place of observation. At the poles of the Earth, the starry sky rotates so that not a single star rises or sets. As you move towards the equator, the number of rising and setting stars increases. In the middle latitudes, there are both rising-setting stars, as well as not setting and never rising. For example,in the middle latitudes of the northern hemisphere of the Earththe constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, Cassiopeia never sink below the horizon. But on the other hand, the constellations of the Southern Cross, the Crane, the Altar never ascend. At the earth's equator, all the stars rise and set. If daylight did not interfere, in one day one could see all 88 constellations.

The constellations help with orientation on the ground. It is especially useful to learn how to find the sides of the horizon using the North Star, since it hardly changes its position in the sky. The easiest way to find the North Star is by using the bucket from the constellation Ursa Major (to be precise, the line runs slightly to the left of the North Star):


The North Star always hangs over the north point. If you stand with your back to her, then the south will be ahead, the east to the left, and the west to the right.

Some people think that the North Star is the brightest star in the sky. But it's not. The brightest is Sirius from the constellation Canis Major. Polaris is the main navigational star.

An angular measure is used to measure the apparent distances between stars and also the diameters of the disks of the planets, the Sun and the Moon, the apparent sizes of nebulae and galaxies. 1 degree of arc contains 60 arc minutes, and 1 arc minute contains 60 arc seconds. The diameters of the disks of the Sun and the Moon are approximately equal to 0.5º.

ISS online HD cameras - High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV)

High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV)- these are 4 high-resolution HD cameras installed in 4 different areas from the outside of the laboratory module of the European Space Agency "Columbus" on the ISS.
The cameras alternately switch between each other, so we can see a high-resolution image from different parts of the ISS laboratory module.
Initially, the HD camera data was delivered into orbit by a private spaceship Dragon SpaceX, the only ship that can return to Earth, they were also installed on it, then, as described above, they were transferred installed on the laboratory module of the European Space Agency "Columbus" on the ISS.
It happened on April 18, 2014, the ship was docked to the ISS for 27 days, after which it returned back, after which HD cameras were installed on the ISS.
No sound is transmitted through the camera.

Dark screen - this means that the picture will start to appear in 40 minutes, at the moment the cameras are on the side of the planet where it is night. For reference, the ISS moves around the Earth at a speed of 27,700 km / h, which allows astronauts to meet 16 sunrises and sunsets. The ISS makes one revolution around the Earth in about 92 minutes.
gray screen - indicates the absence of a signal, in rare cases it is a weak signal when switching cameras.

The image of a person staring at a small screen and not noticing anything that is happening around is a common illustration of a typical user of smartphones and tablets. However, in fact, these mobile devices can not only tear a person away from reality, but vice versa, open up new interesting facets of it. Today we want to introduce you to a series of Android apps that will open your eyes to the stars.

4. Aquarius - Fomalhaut (south) - Human head - Air

These stars are considered the guardians of the sky. They are located so that if you mentally draw straight lines through them, you get a cross. The countdown is from the star Fomalhaut.

A complete rotation of the Earth's axis (precession) takes ~ 26,000 years (Plato's year).

History (according to Blavatsky and others):

24,000 years ago point spring equinox t. Aries was in conjunction with the star Fomalhaut. There were 5 main human races. Then there was a civilization of the Arctida continent, whichlaid the foundations of the white race and gave the teachings of the Avesta.

18,000 years ago, t. Aries was in conjunction with the star Antares.

Arctida has disappeared in the waters of the Arctic Ocean, climate change has occurred. All civilizations were in harsh conditions of survival or death. In the best conditions turned out to be the red race, whichgave civilization to Atlantis.

11,000 years ago, t. Aries was in conjunction with the star Regulus. Civilization of Atlantes after the highest flourishing went to degeneration (cataclysms). There was a global flood. The world has returned to the primitive level.

5,000 years ago t. Aries was in conjunction with the star Aldebaran. This created our world. Our civilization lives for 5,000 years and will live for another 2,000 years, until t. Aries coincides with the star Fomalhaut. On thisthe cycle of humanity will end.

Constellations - areas of the starry sky, allocated for the convenience of orientation in the celestial sphere and the designation of stars. The entire sky is divided into 88 constellations. They bear the names of mythical heroes (for example, Hercules, Perseus), animals (Lion, Giraffe), objects (Libra, Lyre), etc.

Stars in constellations

Stars are luminous gaseous (plasma) balls similar to the Sun. They are formed from a gas-dust environment (mainly from hydrogen and helium) as a result of gravitational instability. When a high density and temperature (about 10-12 million K) is reached in the depths of stars, thermonuclear reactions of the synthesis of elements begin - the main source of energy for most stars.

Stars are classified by luminosity, mass, surface temperature, chemical composition, and spectrum features.

At certain stages of stellar evolution, a number of stars go through a stage of non-stationarity. Depending on the mass of the star, at the end of their evolution they become either white dwarfs, or neutron stars, or black holes.

Extracts from Lea and Alexander Imshiragich's lecture "On the Stars" held in St. Petersburg. (Aleksandar Imshiragic is a well-known Serbian astrologer, director of a large astrological school in Belgrade, author of books on natal, karmic and synastric astrology, degrees and Arabic points).

The meaning is this - if the planets in your horoscope coincide with the position of the Star - the situation from the legend may repeat itself in your fate.

For more information, read the book by Alexander Imshiragich "About the Stars".

Stars

To better understand the characteristics of the stars, you need to look at the history of the constellations to which they belong. Data about stars on 01/01/2000.

1) Aldebaran (the constellation of Taurus) is the guardian of the east.

α - Aldebaran 9gr.47min Gemini (left eye - they are looking at us)

Aldebaran (east - 9g.47min Gemini) and Antares (west - 9g.48Sagittarius) - stand in opposition.

Therefore, both sides are involved at once.

2) Rigel (constellation Orion) Orion - a person takes care of himself, wants to be everywhere the very first, the most important.

β - Rigel 16gr.50min. Gemini - left foot

"-" - the danger of a lightning strike, violent death

4) Sirius (constellation - Canis Major) - stands guard. These are alarm systems, everything that warns (alarms of apartments, cars, offices). In life - a big outstanding person who provides patronage. All stars in Canis Major are associated with dogs, or problems with them; with large masses of something. Associated with Saturn if Jupiter is on this star - gains due to dogs.

5) Conopus (constellation - Carina (Argo) - the 1st ship in the history of mankind. Symbolizes a long journey, travel, trips. King Pelias (son of Poseidon) sent Jason (son of Aeson (Eson - half-brother of Pelias)) to "Argo" for the golden fleece and the king promised Jason to marry him his daughter and the kingdom. The king took the golden fleece and refused to give the kingdom and his daughter. Without heroes, Jason could not have got the fleece. Medea helped a lot, but also avenged him for having her left and left

loneliness. She killed his family, and Jason, in old age, died alone near his former ship, the Argo.

15gr. Cancer - exaltation of Jupiter - gives long-distance travel. Man can find something new on our planet.

MORAL: a person can be strongly loved, but also jealous. And take revenge.

If Mars, Saturn are in these degrees - a story according to Sirius - a connection with protection, patronage or with dogs.

If Venus, Jupiter - a story according to Canopus - travel.

6) Pollux (constellation - Gemini).

β - Pollux 23gr.13min. Cancer

7) Procyon (constellation - Small Dog)

α - Procyon - less than that of Sirius. The person is not very significant and important.

8 Regulus (the constellation Leo) - the guard of the north.

Regulus is the heart of the Lion, it is denoted as a king or a very high title. α - Regulus 29gr.50min. Leo (sign transition to another 20gr.12min. Virgo - gives a very big and significant event). Leo is the kingdom, Virgo is the workers.

The story of Hercules (1st feat) - Nemean lion. Hercules had to deal with this basic problem. Hercules defeated the lion with the help of cunning and dexterity (he blocked one exit from the cave, arrived in time from behind and killed him). But at the end of history, collapse is possible - the lion was invincible. If the planets are damaged by Saturn, Pluto is the cave where the lion was killed. From Saturn, Pluto, Neptune and

On the 12th, history may repeat itself.

Denotes - gold medal the athlete (with good aspects). Getting the most important, main place. In this case, the Sun must not be damaged, otherwise failure.

9) Spica (constellation - Virgo) - the southern hemisphere.

α - Spica 23gr.50min. Libra

The story of Icarius and his daughter Erigone. Dionysus gave Icarius a vine and he was the first to plant grapes in Attica. Once a goat entered the vineyard and began to eat the leaves. Icarium, angry, took off the skin of the goat and made everyone dance around it. One day he gave wine to the shepherds. And they, not knowing that they were drunk, fell asleep. Their friends thought that Icarius killed them - and they killed him. The body was hidden in the mountains (or lowered into a well). Dying, Icarius realized the connection between actions and consequences (he skinned a goat and died too

violent death) and realized that you need to be attentive to the little things. Erigon's daughter searched for her father for a long time and found with the help of Mira's dog. From bitterness, Erigona hanged herself and the dog died near her. Before her death, Erigone cast a curse that there would be suicides of young girls.

Until the killers of her father were found and punished. Since then, they have been burning in the sky in the form of constellations - Bootes, Virgo and Canis Major.

MORAL: Our actions lead us to consequences. Any tragedy in life begins with Two.

10) Arcturus (constellation - Bootes) - the northern hemisphere.

α - Arcturus 24 gr. 14 min. Libra

History of Callisto and Arcade. (See the history of the constellation Bootes).

MORAL: man tries, out of ignorance and ignorance, to destroy his roots. "Not remembering

Thomas" - does not know the gender, even if he knows - there is no intimacy. We should not see the enemy in another person. The son wanted to kill his mother, not realizing that the situation is so bad, and he himself aggravates it.

There are many single athletes in urban conditions. Outstanding singles athletes have before their eyes the one who needs to be beaten in order to become better. To do this, you need to defeat the enemy. You need to look carefully - when Spica is acting, and when Arcturus (history).

11) Akruks (constellation - the Southern Cross). We can't see the southern hemisphere. GD is visible 30gr.

Associated with esoteric sciences, consciousness. Good for astrologers, everything related to nature and esotericism.

Chiron suffered greatly from the disease, he was looking for a cure. To heal, but nothing helped. Prometheus also suffered from an eagle pecking at his liver. And then Chiron asked Zeus to take his life in the name of Prometheus, that is, give Prometheus his life. Zeus agreed.

MORAL: one should not turn one's knowledge into evil. Your friend can hurt you.

The stars of this constellation give the ability to create medicines, but this should not turn into harm to others, even enemies. At a higher level, people are being helped.

13) Antares (constellation - Scorpio) - the guard of the west.

The story of Orpheus. (See the history of the constellation Lyra).

MORAL: Vega and Lyra are responsible for the artistic inclination and the ability to science. Orpheus was helped by nature during the game. It also gives a penchant for research. Vega dulls the emotional sphere (not good for love and family relations), but very good for science.

15) Altair (constellations - Eagle)

α - Altair 1 gr. 47 min. Capricorn

(See the history of the constellation Eagle).

The eagle raised Ganymede up to Zeus, but there is a function - to steal and carry away, to arrange violence against the will of another (he pecked Prometheus's liver for 300 years).

This star is associated with flights (aircraft). The ability to steal something (theft of people, children).

16) Fomalhaut (constellations - Southern Fish) - the guard of the south.

α - Fomalhaut 0gr.52min. Pisces

18) Achernar (constellation - Eridanus) - the end of the underground river

α - Achernar 15gr.19min. Pisces

The constellation is associated with Phaethon (son of God Helios). He was small. Unsightly. And no one believed. That he is the son of Helios. He asked his father to give him his chariot to ride. The father did not want to give, but in the end agreed. Phaeton sat in a chariot, where there were 5 horses, and they carried him very close to the ground. Everything on the ground began to burn out. Phaeton was unable to control the chariot and almost burned the earth.

Helios had to remove Phaethon, and he failed him into an underground river. And the place where the horses burned the earth is now the Sahara. The Eridanus River is now the Po River. The nature of the constellation is negative - Saturn.

The exception is the nature of the river Achernar - this is Jupiter - nature, the end of the river. The end of a difficult situation.

MORAL: The end of a difficult genetic situation. Crossed the river of blood where everything ends.

If a star is on a person, he is the last of his kind. Because the karma of the family ends. He often takes over the whole situation and the karma of the family no longer exists. This is the place of the river. Where the river meets the ocean. Neva goes to the ocean.

19) Shedar (constellation Cassiopeia). This is the constellation of Mars. If there are female planets, they may be from Cassiopeia. You need to see the history. They can betray, falling from a height (Gella), especially the betrayal of a friend.

20) Hamal (constellation Aries)

α – Hamal 7gr.40min. Taurus - head

military organizations, strong people. (See the history of the constellation Aries).

Astronomy as a science can be loved or not loved, but probably there is no such person who would not be attracted by the beauty of the starry sky.
