narrated by bloggers because the Moon is BIGGER THE HORIZON?

Why the moon appears larger on the horizon and smaller when high in the sky?

When we see the Moon (and also the Sun) which rises or sets on the horizon that we are amazed the size apparently greater than when they are high in the sky.

In Letters to a German Princess ( delicious lessons given in correspondence to one of the most noble ladies of the court of Frederick II of Prussia in 1775) even the great mathematician Euler attempted to provide a rational explanation for the phenomenon.

Meanwhile, we say that there is no physical principle that justifies the effect: the distance of the Moon (or Sun) from our Earth remains substantially unchanged, and any theories on refraction caused by the air thicker than the lower atmosphere can only justify distort the image but not its size.

Many think it is an illusion that our brains would be comparing the Moon (or Sun) to homes, trees and mountains on the horizon, against which it would seem much bigger.

The statement was supported by illusions such as the following.

The "Moon" on the left is larger than the right one ... but if you tried to measure them ...



This is not a convincing explanation.

fact the illusion of size also occurs where the horizon is empty, and does not provide terms of comparison (such as know the sailors when sailing in the ocean at night).

So how do you explain the phenomenon?

The Italians, science and digital technologies

presented today at the Torino Observatory data on "The Italians, science and technology digital content in the new edition of the Science and Society 2011 (Il Mulino), edited by Observa Science in Society .

Among the issues relevant data on the average age of Italian researchers: "The age of human resources: a brake on the Italian research?" The Italian research not is for young teachers. Only 16 out of 100 teachers have less than 40 years, unlike countries such as Cyprus and Poland, which count more than half. Even in Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands, the proportion of teachers under the age of forty exceed 40%.

according to Massimo Bucchi, Professor of Science Technology and Society at the University of Trento and among the editorial staff of Science in Society 2011, "the theme of human resources, and especially their advanced average age is confirmed as a crucial topic for research and innovation in Italy, with a risk of 'discouragement' of new generations. Is it not a case that Italians are among the least confident in Europe, that a young person interested in science today has more job opportunities (47%, compared with 73% of Swedes and a European average of 58%).

How Does It Feel To Be Muscular

Women walk

The city of Bologna, February 13, 2011 has seen the streets and highways for women, but not all. There were so many people. And of all ages.

The projected path, that agreed with the police, has affected the outskirts of the city take the roads that would not create too much discomfort. A journey that was to take place near the central station without touching the main streets of the city, but especially not arrive in Piazza Maggiore. During the demonstration programs have changed. No hassles. This flow of aggressive women and men silently moved along until you get Ugo Bassi Piazza Grande (so named by the Bolognese). It was not a gesture of little importance or underestimated. In its small way was a challenge and an achievement. Piazza Maggiore win means involving everyone. Reach everyone. Leave to challenge a outskirts of the city center. I like to think so: men and women of all ages who together try to win the attention giving central to remain a minority and relegated to showing that most people in this country are honest, work with dignity, dreams of a better Italy.
