The Astronomical Clock Clusone

The Astronomical Clock Clusone
A Clusone, Italy, is one of the most extraordinary astronomical clock.
The clock is located in the medieval tower located in the southwest of the Town Hall.
With a single hand indicates (as even the 3 concentr

ic rotating discs): the hours, days, months, signs of the zodiac, the position of the sun and moon and the duration of sunshine and darkness.
The only hard drive is the outermost of the Hours (m in diameter. 3.50).
Still intact, is one of the few watches of its time that still works with the original parts. Turn counterclockwise.
It 'was created in 1583 by an eclectic clusonese, Peter Fanzago, watchmaker, a hydraulic engineer, mathematician, founder of metals, etc.

This is the supernova remnant RCW 86!

In 185 AD, Chinese astronomers recorded the appearance of a new star in the Nanmen asterism - a part of the sky identified with Alpha and Beta Centauri on modern star charts. The new star was visible for months and is thought to be the earliest recorded supernova. Shock velocities measured in the X-ray emitting shell and infrared dust temperatures indicate that the remnant is expanding extremely rapidly into a remarkable low density bubble created before the explosion by the white dwarf system. Near the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy, RCW 86 is about 8,200 light-years away and has an estimated radius of 50 light-years!

Observed a piece of "skeleton" of the universe
For many years, cosmologists sought evidence of the presence of these "filaments" of galaxies, whose existence in the universe was still far more solid evidence.
The observed filament is located about 6.7 billion light years from us and extends for at least 60 million light years, although this structure probably extends beyond the current observational capabilities. For this reason, further research will be needed to obtain a definitive estimate of the length.

Le galassie unite da filamenti energetici
Osservato un pezzo di “scheletro” dell'universo
Da diversi anni i cosmologi cercavano prove della presenza di questi “filamenti” di galassie, della cui esistenza nell'universo più lontano mancava an...cora una solida prova.
Il filamento osservato è posizionato a circa 6,7 miliardi di anni luce da noi e si estende per almeno 60 milioni di anni luce, anche se probabilmente tale struttura si estende anche oltre la capacità osservativa attuale. Per questo motivo occorreranno ulteriori ricerche per ottenere una stima definitiva della lunghezza.

Nebula originated by the explosion

Nebula originated by the explosion of the star that gave rise to the neutron star called Cas A. In the figure we see a small representation of the inner layers of ultra-dense celestial object. The innermost part of the nucleus is formed in which the superfluid neutron and from which the beams of neutrinos, escaping to the outside, causing a drastic loss of temperature. A kind of "cold" nuclear.
