Solstice: Sunrises Around The Year : Does The Sun Always Rise In The Same Direction? No. As The Months

Solstice: Sunrises Around the Year : Does the Sun always rise in the same direction? No. As the months change, the direction toward the rising Sun changes, too. The featured image shows the direction of sunrise every month during 2019 as seen from near the city of Amman, Jordan. The camera in the image is always facing due east, with north toward the left and south toward the right. Although the Sun always rises in the east in general, it rises furthest to the south of east on the December solstice, and furthest north of east on the June solstice. Today is the December solstice, the day of least sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere and of most sunlight in the Southern Hemisphere. In many countries, the December Solstice is considered an official change in season: for example the first day of winter in the North. Solar heating and stored energy in the Earth’s surface and atmosphere are near their lowest during winter, making the winter months usually the coldest of the year. On the brighter side, in the north, daylight hours will now increase every day from until June. via NASA

Şimdilerde Kağıttan Gemiler Yapmak Yerine , Kağıttan Denizler Yapıyorum. Satır Satır Dalgaları

Şimdilerde kağıttan gemiler yapmak yerine , kağıttan denizler yapıyorum. Satır satır dalgaları olan. Dalga dalga senin kıyına vuran . Yolcu ettiğim bir mısra ancak senin kıyına vurabilir zaten .

Light and Glory over Crete : The month was July, the place was the Greek island of Crete, and the sky was spectacular. Of course there were the usual stars like Polaris, Vega, and Antares – and that common asterism everyone knows: the Big Dipper. But this sky was just getting started. The band of the Milky Way Galaxy stunned as it arched across the night like a bridge made of stars and dust but dotted with red nebula like candy. The planets Saturn and Jupiter were so bright you wanted to stop people on the beach and point them out. The air glowed like a rainbow – but what really grabbed the glory was a comet. Just above the northern horizon, Comet NEOWISE spread its tails like nothing you had ever seen before or might ever see again. Staring in amazement, there was only one thing to do: take a picture. via NASA
