Questa sera non prendete impegni perché il cielo tornerà a dare spettacolo! A partire dalle 21.30 infatti potremo ammirare l’eclissi totale di luna più lunga di questo secolo!L’evento diventerà un appuntamento imperdibile, anche grazie all’ opposizione di Marte, che sarà visibile come non accadeva dal 2003.Gli esperti parlano addirittura di un’eclissi da record, poiché la durata con un periodo di oscuramento totale, sarà di 1 ora e 43 minuti (bene 40 minuti superiore alla media!).La luna apparirà molto piccola perché si troverà alla sua massima distanza dalla Terra.L’intera fase dell’eclissi sarà completamente visibile ad occhio nudo e durerà dalle 21.30 alle 23.13 raggiungendo il suo punto più alto intorno alle 22.22, dopo essersi tinta di rosso.Anche Marte ci riserverà un bello spettacolo, poiché sarà in piena opposizione al Sole e dunque molto ben illuminato. Questa sera dunque Sole, Terra e Luna saranno perfettamente allineati!Dobbiamo quindi solo sperare che il cielo sia sereno per poter ammirare al meglio l’eclissi lunare totale.Per godersi il fenomeno, si dovrà guardare verso sud-est e magari dotarsi di un buon binocolo o un telescopio!Quindi mi raccomando…occhi puntati al cielo!

Tonight, do not take commitments because the sky will return to show!In fact, starting from 9.30 pm we will be able to admire the longest total moon eclipse of this century! The event will become an unmissable event, also thanks to the opposition of Mars, which will be visible as it did not happen since 2003. Experts even speak of a record eclipse, as the duration with a total blackout period will be 1 hour and 43 minutes (well 40 minutes above average!).The moon will appear very small because it will be at its maximum distance from the Earth.The entire phase of the eclipse will be completely visible to the naked eye and will last from 21.30 to 23.13 reaching its highest point around 22.22, after having dyed red.Even Mars will reserve us a good show, because it will be in full opposition to the Sun and therefore very well lit.  Tonight, then Sun, Earth and Moon will be perfectly aligned!We must therefore only hope that the sky is clear to admire the total lunar eclipse.To enjoy the phenomenon, you will have to look to the southeast and maybe get a good pair of binoculars or a telescope!So, I recommend … eyes focused on the sky!

Buongiorno

Goodmorning! Is it a good morning? I hope it is…and if it’s not, we’ll make it so! It’s really easy, it only takes a few positive thoughts…I have read that the days of true happiness in one person’s life are no more than 14, can you believe this? They are so few…then I tried to count my happy days and, well of course I hope not to have reached even half of my life yet, but I got to count 6 days. In the first happy memory I was 13 and it was when my dad bought me my dream bicycle, an amazing mountain bike! The second one was the year after that, when I went to Miami for the first time. Then when I was 15 when my volleyball team had won the Swiss championship. After that my mind is blank, nothing until the day I graduated from highschool and then a hug gap again, until I was 28 and I published my first book. The last one is obviously when I was 31 and Ginevra was born. So, if I had to pick out the days I was beyond happy, these would be the ones. Of course there have been other great and fun days, especially because my life has always been filled with a lot of traveling, meeting new people and a lot of laughs.

But these are the very important days, the days I keep in my heart, the days that have changed my life and when I have achieved my highest goals…what about you? Will you tell me about your happiest days? Have a good Sunday, hugs.
