Geminidi
How many shooting stars tonight.Never seen so many.
The Geminidi, one of the most active meteor shower of the years.
These meteors are quiet unusual, as they are generated from the debris of comet , but from the planet Phateon 3200, an asteroid in some very specific steps than can be very colse to the Earth.
the Geminidi meteors are fairly slow and therefore very nice to watch and quite photogenic. About 3% forms a spectacular trail trough the transition.
Quante stelle cadenti stasera.Non ne ho mai viste così tante.
Le Geminidi, uno dei più attivi sciami meteorici dell'anno.
Queste meteoriti sono insolite, non sono generate dai resti di una cometa, ma da un pianetino chiamato Phateon 3200.
Le mateore delle Geminidi sono molto lente e molto belle da vedere e anche fotogeniche.

Evening observing for oasis of San Silvestro.-
Yesterday I attended the event organized by amateur astronomers maddalonesi.
The evening took place in the oasis of San Silvestro, San leucio.
The last night finally, I learned to distinguish the most importat costellation of the winter sky and of course the most important stars.
For example how to find the North Star:
Join the two stars head of the wagon:Merak and Dubhe with an imaginary straight line and extends it to 5 times in the direction of Cassiopea.
this leads the Polar Star, whic indicates the north.
I learned to distinguish the costellation of Cepheus, the shape of house designed by children.
The largest costellation of the dragon with its faint stars, which lies between Ursa major and Ursa
Minor.
Moving south. we could admire the beautiful and great costellation of Orion, that would guide the costellation of winter sky.
Costellation of Orion is accompanied by hunting dogs: Canis Minor, the main star is Procyon, Canis Major the principal main star is the beautiful and bright Sirio.
I learned that if you look at the first Aldebaran,the star of the costellation Taurus,I'll see better Pleiadi, open cluster.
I finally learned to distinguish the costellation of Auriga.Its shape is a pentagon and its main star is Capella.
All this, accompanied by a good and hot mulled wine.

december stars
In the nights of December, looking east dress, we can see Orion followed by his hunting companions:
The child and the dog Canis Major, where Sirius shines the brighter the stars.
Not far to the left of Orion, the stars shine twins.Just above the bull and grim charioteer.
The faint stars of the Aquarium, they decline of western horizon, followed by fish and Pegasus.
To the north of the Big dipper was climing to the right of the pole,and the tail touches the horizon.
The Moon and the planets.
Jupiter is the only planet to be visible in the evening sky.
The observatoring show the equatorial band disappeared a few months ago.
Saturn anticipates his arrival, but December is visible at night.
Venus bright, shining in the morning sky before dawn.
Major celestial events in December 2010
December 2: Venus, the star Spica of the Virgin, the moon, make a spectacular panorama of blue sky in the morning
December 13: in the night sky, the Moon in the first quarter will be found not far from brilliant Jupiter.
Looking at Jupiter trought at telescope, will see its four brithest satellites,arranged on one side of the planet.
December 13 to14: maximum activity of the Geminids meteor shower, expected around 100 meteors for hours.
December 21: there will be a total eclipse of the moon, not visible from Italy.
December 22: will reache the winter solstice: the shortest day of the shadows longer.
Clear skies...

Lunar geological time scale
The lunar geological time scale is a division of the past history of the Moon in geological time:
Copernican Period: from 1100 billion years ago to the present.
Eratosthenes Period: from 3200 to 1100 billion years ago.
Period Imbriano higher: from 3800 to 3200 billion years ago.
Period Imbriano below: from 3850 to 3800 billion years ago.
Nectarian Period: from 3920 to 3850 billion years ago.
Pre-Nectarian Period: from 4550 to 3920 billion years ago.
Copernican Period: from 1100 billion years ago to the present.
Eratosthenes Period: from 3200 to 1100 billion years ago.
Period Imbriano higher: from 3800 to 3200 billion years ago.
Period Imbriano below: from 3850 to 3800 billion years ago.
Nectarian Period: from 3920 to 3850 billion years ago.
Pre-Nectarian Period: from 4550 to 3920 billion years ago.

November 15: Moon and Jupiter very colse.
Tonight I watched the sky from my house,with my telescope.
Fred and I, we observed the Moon and Jupiter, and I must say that you can see very well with my telescope.
I observe a skywatcher 130/900.
After seeing Jupiter, we observed the Moon very well
We observed:
Plato crater and the surrounding area,located in the northwestern part of the lunar disk visible to us.
Plato is at the end of the Alpes.
Plato is a lunar impact crater on the Moon, it is located on the north-east of Mare Imbrium, western end of the Montes Alpes, mountain range.
The age of Plato is about 3.84 billion years.The rim is irregular with jagged peaks of 2 km above the first floor of the cast shadows across the crater floor.
Plato the circle is round , but the Earth appears oval due to foreshortening.
Let the Mare Ibrium.
It is a vast lunar sea, with a diameter of 1123 km.
Mare is a latin term used to desribe different morfological configurations on the surface of the Moon.
The term was chosen because of the dark color that distinguishes these regions from the surronding territories.
This is indeed the basalt plain, originated from ancien eruptions of incandescent material impact with particularly massive asteroids.
The Mare Frigoris, rarely told Sea of Cold( ocean of Storm), is a lunar sea located on the hemisphere of the satellite always faces the Earth, just north of Mare Ibrium (the sea of rains) and northeast of the Mare Serenitatis (sea of serenity), is a peripherial region of Oceanus Procellarium.
Just south the Mare Frigoris, is clear the crater Plato.
Here is a map of the lunar sea:
Then we saw the Vallis Alpina, a thin crack of the lunar surface, distinticly visible at top center.
The crater looking down of the far right is Cassini,inside has two crater, obviously more recent.
The large crater visible on the left of the Alpes is Plato.
We saw a part of our satellit whic is midway between the Alps, the Caucasus, the Apennines.The two craters at the center are Autolycus, Aristillus left and right. The crater colse to the Alps, the far right and a crater on the inside, is Cassini.
My first photos taken with a digital camera:

November stars
To the east we will rise to the bright winter stars: Auriga and Taurus will precede the Orion and the twins, higher dominate Perseus.
High in the sky, to the south the unmistakable square of Pegasus joint Andromeda, just below the faint stars of Pisces and Aries, the great whale and the Southern Fish.
To the west we see the definitive end summer costellations: Aquila,Cygnus and Lyra.
To the north of the Great Bear leads usto the North Star, just to the west, the Dragon and a little higher Cepheus and Cassiopeia,now almost overhead, complete this heavenly landscape.
Jupite will remain for the entire month of November, he most visible star in the night sky. Not far to Jupiter, weaker Uranus is not difficult to see if helped by a pair of binoculars.
Venus and Saturn are visible in the morning sky before sunrise.
Major astronomical events of November 2010:
In early months you will see a meteor shower is not disturbed by the moonlight, there are ten meteros for hours peak periods.
The morning of five Novemeber, just before dawn, watching the sky to the east, we could see a thin crescent Moon and Venus.Looking at the bright planet with a telescope, we could see a stage similar to that of the Moon.
November 15, the bright star near to the Moon, will be Jupiter.
On the night of 21 November, find the Moon below the Pleiades stars of storage.
