Para contemplar la serpiente emplumada descender por la pirámide maya se necesita un timing perfecto. Debes visitar El Castillo en la península de Yucatán, México, cerca del equinoccio. Durante la tarde, si el cielo está despejado, las sombras de la pirámide forman triángulos que se unen para crear la famosa ilusión de una serpiente deslizándose. También llamada el Templo de Kukulkán, esta impresionante pirámide escalonada mide 30 metros de altura y 55 metros de ancho en la base. Construida por la civilización precolombina entre los siglos IX y XII, la estructura funciona como un calendario y destaca por sus alineamientos astronómicos. La imagen compuesta presentada fue capturada en 2019 con Júpiter y Saturno ubicados a cada lado de la banda diagonal central de nuestra galaxia, la Vía Láctea. Próximamente, ocurrirá otro equinoccio, no solo en el Templo de Kukulkán, sino en todo el planeta Tierra.

To see the feathered serpent descend the Mayan pyramid requires exquisite timing. You must visit El Castillo -- in Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula -- near an equinox. Then, during the late afternoon if the sky is clear, the pyramid's own shadows create triangles that merge into the famous illusion of a

Want to visit a planet that has 3.14 days in a year? Then plan a trip to K2-315b, an earth-sized planet orbiting around a cool, red, M dwarf star about once every 3.14 days. The exoplanet's discovery, based on publicly available data from the planet-hunting Kepler Space Telescope's extended K2 mission, was announced in 2020. K2-315b's measured orbital period in days is nearly equal to the extremely popular irrational number Pi. That puts the exoplanet so close to its parent star that its surface is likely very warm, baking-hot in fact. And this Pi planet is over 185 light-years away. So instead of trying to arrange for an interstellar vacation to K2-315b, there may be easier and more comfortable ways for you to celebrate Pi day on planet Earth.

¿Quieres visitar un planeta donde un año dura 3,14 días? Entonces planifica un viaje a K2-315b, un planeta del tamaño de la Tierra que orbita alrededor de una estrella enana roja fría aproximadamente cada 3,14 días. El descubrimiento de este exoplaneta, basado en datos públicos de la misión extendida K2 del telescopio espacial Kepler, se anunció en 2020. El período orbital medido de K2-315b en días es casi igual al famoso número irracional Pi. Esto coloca al exoplaneta muy cerca de su estrella madre, haciendo que su superficie probablemente sea muy cálida, de hecho, extremadamente caliente. Este planeta Pi está ubicado a más de 185 años luz, por lo que en lugar de planear unas vacaciones interestelares hacia K2-315b, puedes celebrar el Día de Pi cómodamente en la Tierra.

En este paisaje nocturno compuesto, exposiciones apiladas trazan gráciles rastros de estrellas sobre el Lago Toolondo, en Victoria, Australia. Capturada durante el eclipse lunar del 3 de marzo, las exposiciones se realizaron durante la fase de totalidad que duró una hora. Los tenues rastros estelares son claramente visibles junto con el rastro de la Luna enrojecida en los cielos oscurecidos por el eclipse sobre el lago y los árboles. La aparente trayectoria de la Luna y las estrellas refleja la rotación diaria de la Tierra alrededor de su eje. Puntuando dramáticamente el rastro lunar al finalizar la totalidad, una imagen telefoto separada de la Luna totalmente eclipsada fue escalada y mezclada en la escena.
