Nostalgia with a Glimpse of our Future while Reaching out Other Distant Worlds like Mars
Alqueva´s Dark Sky Reserve | By Year: 2025 | Mértola & Mina São Domingos | Moonlight Scenes | People and Sky
When one day we could reach other places in the Solar System…like Mars, nostalgia will come, specially when we realise that we no longer be able to watch our beautiful blue skies of Earth atmosphere. Instead, the rocky red planet Mars, will show a yellow pale glow on a dusty atmosphere and humans will not be able to breath and feel the outside air fresh on their skin. We are so lucky to be here…Now, in this small glimpse of the evolution of humankind! The time lapse was captured last year on the moonrise, from Mertola, at Dark Sky® Alqueva, in Portugal when my wife Apolónia Rodrigues was enjoying the moment, and for a second, seems to catch the Moon with her hand.
PT: Quando um dia pudermos alcançar outros lugares do Sistema Solar…como Marte, a nostalgia virá, principalmente quando percebermos que não voltará a ser possível contemplar os nossos belos céus azuis a partir da atmosfera terrestre. Em vez disso, o planeta vermelho e rochoso Marte mostrará um brilho amarelo pálido numa atmosfera poeirenta e os humanos não conseguirão respirar e sentir o ar fresco do exterior na sua pele. Temos muita sorte em estar aqui…agora, neste vislumbre passageiro da evolução humana! O time lapse foi captado no ano passado ao nascer da lua, em Mértola, no Dark Sky® Alqueva, quando a minha companheira Apolónia Rodrigues estava a desfrutar do momento e, por um segundo, “apanhou-a” com a sua mão.
