Hello dear people!
Today I'm thinking about yesterday, about just a few hours ago, actually. Yesterday, an eclipse occurred in our magical skies, one of those natural phenomena that continues to fascinate us with the passage of time. And although science already explains that it involves the interposition of the stars, one in front of the other, the effects this cosmic dance produces catch our attention and somehow draw us in, as if under a magical spell.
Because the skies are magical, and yesterday, September 7th, a total lunar eclipse occurred, the so-called blood moon, because it turns red when it intersects directly in front of the sun. From a distance, we see it as totally imposing and a different color that leaves us speechless.
I wanted to witness the event. It's not that unique, as there are usually about four eclipses each year, but we can't always see them depending on where we are. They said today's eclipse could be seen here, and I wanted to see it, out of curiosity and because it was a quiet Sunday night. Let's witness the fantastic power of the Universe!
I wanted to take at least one photo, but it's not that easy... Actually impossible. It was very cloudy, and at the most important moment, it even rained a little鈥攋ust a few drops to make things dirty and create a sauna effect鈥攂ut it stole the spirit of many people sitting on the terraces of buildings with their cameras. It's funny, months of sunshine, clear skies, no rain or anything, and it just starts to cloud over at that moment, just the way life goes...
So, with resilience, I took a photo with AI, but on social media (in addition to complaints about those unexpected clouds) there are spectacular photos taken in other countries.
Well, the fact is that after the event, today there are several news stories and professional photos published on social media and various media outlets, and now I think, I reflect on this astronomical phenomenon that everyone loves so much, without really knowing why. In the past, it was something mysterious that produced uncertainty and even fear, but in any case, it marked a unique moment, a change beyond our surroundings, something that could affect our lives for a few minutes, or maybe longer... Do the stars affect us?
I think about that special moon, and I realize that it always is. It accompanies us every night, whether we see it or not, illuminating our dreams or leaving us in darkness awaiting the light of a new day, giving us the hope and magic we need to live. But we all know that the phases of the moon affect the tides of the seas and oceans, so if we're 80% water, do they affect us too? I remember they always said that more crimes are committed on nights with a full moon. Why? The werewolf? So, does the moon affect us?
And the other stars? Well, we've all felt that apathy and sadness on those long, cloudy days that seem to go on forever, gray days that depress us. And the return of the golden light of the sun, full of life, gives us life again, motivates us to go out and live more intensely and happily. So yes, I believe that as part of that cosmos, everything affects us.
Some people here move from simple astronomy to astrology, which in the past were a united whole. They say eclipses symbolize the end of something: one light is eclipsed, and then another begins. Perhaps it's a good time to reflect on everything we want to eclipse from our lives, moments, feelings, and thoughts we no longer want to shed light on, and instead, begin to illuminate new ones; a subtle way of changing, of changing our way of thinking, our way of feeling, and our way of seeing life. While we continue to look at our world and the entire Universe with fascination, feeling that magic we can't always explain, but which sometimes doesn't matter so much, we live in the moment, are present, and happy to be able to observe a new astral dance in the skies, beautiful lights that play between the sun and the moon, and that are part of our lives and of us.
Another one will come soon (within two weeks), so happy eclipse time, and happy life to everyone!
隆Hola querida gente!
Hoy pienso sobre ayer, sobre hace pocas horas en realidad. Ayer se produjo un eclipse en nuestros m谩gicos cielos, uno de esos fen贸menos de la naturaleza que siguen fascin谩ndonos con el pasar del tiempo. Y aunque la ciencia ya nos explica que se trata de la interposici贸n de los astros, uno delante de otro, los efectos que este baile c贸smico produce nos llama la atenci贸n y de alguna manera nos atrae como si de un hechizo se tratase, m谩gicamente.
Porque los cielos son m谩gicos, y ayer 7 septiembre se produjo un eclipse lunar total, la llamada luna de sangre, porque se vuelve roja al interponerse justo delante del sol, y con la debida distancia, la vemos totalmente imponente y de un color diferente que no nos deja indiferentes.
Yo quer铆a ser testigo del evento, no es algo tan 煤nico, pues suelen producirse unos cuatro eclipses cada a帽o, pero no siempre podemos verlos seg煤n la localizaci贸n en la que nos encontremos. El de hoy dec铆an que se podr铆a ver aqu铆, y yo quer铆a verlo, por curiosidad y por ser un tranquilo domingo casi a la noche. 隆Seamos testigos del poder fant谩stico del Universo!
Quise hacer una foto al menos, pero no es tan f谩cil... De hecho, imposible. Estaba muy nublado, y sobre la hora m谩s importante incluso llovi贸 un poco, cuatro gotas para ensuciar y provocar efecto sauna, pero rob贸 la ilusi贸n a mucha gente preparada en terrazas de edificios con sus c谩maras. Es curioso, meses de sol, de cielos despejados, sin lluvia ni nada, y justo empieza a nublarse en ese momento, cosas de la vida...
As铆 que con resiliencia, he hecho una foto con IA, pero en redes sociales (adem谩s de quejas por esas nubes imprevistas) hay fotos espectaculares tomadas en otros pa铆ses.
Bueno el caso que despu茅s del evento, hoy hay varias noticias y fotos profesionales publicadas en redes y diversos medios, y pienso ahora, reflexiono sobre este fen贸meno astron贸mico que tanto gusta a todos, sin saber bien porqu茅. En el pasado era algo misterioso que produc铆a incertidumbre e incluso miedo, pero que en cualquier caso marcaba un momento 煤nico, un cambio m谩s all谩 de nuestro entorno, algo que pod铆a afectar durante unos minutos nuestra vida o quiz谩 m谩s... 驴Los astros nos afectan?
Pienso en esa luna especial, y me doy cuenta de que siempre lo es. Nos acompa帽a cada noche, la veamos o no, nos ilumina los sue帽os o nos deja en penumbra esperando la luz de un nuevo d铆a, nos da esa esperanza y magia que necesitamos para vivir. Pero adem谩s, todos sabemos que las fases de la luna afectan a las mareas de los mares y oc茅anos, entonces si nosotros somos el 80% agua, 驴nos afectan tambi茅n?, recuerdo que siempre dec铆an que las noches de luna llena se comenten m谩s cr铆menes, 驴por qu茅?, 驴el hombre lobo?, entonces s铆 驴nos afecta la luna?
驴Y los dem谩s astros? Bueno todos habremos sentido esa desidia y tristeza en esos largos d铆as nublados que parecen no acabar nunca, d铆as grises que nos deprimen, y la vuelta de la luz dorada del sol llena de vida, nos da vida de nuevo, nos motiva a salir y a vivir m谩s intensa y felizmente. As铆 que s铆, yo creo que como parte de ese cosmos, todo nos afecta.
Aqu铆 algunos pasan de la simple astronom铆a a la astrolog铆a, que en el pasado fueron un todo unido. Dicen que los eclipses simbolizan el final de algo, una luz se eclipsa, y despu茅s otra comienza. Quiz谩 sea buen momento para reflexionar sobre todo aquello que queremos eclipsar de nuestra vida, momentos, sentimientos y pensamientos a los que ya no queremos darles m谩s luz, y en cambio, comenzar a iluminar otros nuevos; una sutil forma de cambiar, de cambiar de forma de pensar, de forma de sentir y de ver la vida. Mientras seguiremos mirando nuestro mundo y todo el Universo con fascinaci贸n, sintiendo esa magia que no siempre podemos explicar, pero que a veces no nos importa tanto, vivimos el momento, estamos presentes y felices por poder observar un nuevo baile astral en los cielos, bellas luces que juegan entre el sol y la luna, y que forman parte de nuestra vida y de nosotros.
Pronto llegar谩 otro (en dos semanas), as铆 que feliz tiempo de eclipses, y 隆feliz vida a todos!
