This article is a detailed proposal of an astronomical test to be carried out within our solar system to try to detect the eventual addition of the speed of a celestial body to that of its emitted light -that reflected of the Sun in this case. This eventuality could be determined by observing the consequent variation in its apparent position that could produce the variation of the angle of aberration, a consequence, in turn, of the variation of the velocity of its emitted light. This area is chosen, despite having here celestial bodies with lower speeds than those of the stars, and their consequent lower sensitivity in the observations, to avoid the inconvenience of the enormous interstellar distances, which could disqualify the results of the test due to the possible intervention of the phenomenon of extinction of the light wave in that distances, as we will see in the Introduction of this article. To carry out the above, we need to have celestial bodies of different radial speeds with respect to our Earth, and in this area, we find them in the satellites of the other planets in the extreme positions of their orbits; and the observation of the possible different aberrations, in the variation of the apparent separations of the satellites from their planets in those positions. The proposal also includes the observation of the transit of a satellite across the front of its planet to detect the possible appearance of this phenomenon also in this different circumstance. It will also be possible to determine if it is the relative speed between the light source and the observer the one that effectively intervenes in this phenomenon of /zg/zt aberration-planetary in this case-or if it is only that of the observer-that of our Earth-that produces it, as several authors maintain. To adequately illustrate the proposed test, and the order of magnitude of the intervening parameters, a specific example is developed with Jupiter and two of its satellites: IO and METIS.

In this article from the Spanish Journal of Physics, the "interstellar intruders" and "interstellar impostors" are explored. Two interstellar objects observed in our solar system, 1I/'Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov, are mentioned, as well as a Finnish hyperbolic meteor accelerated by a nearby star. The interstellar origin of the fireballs IM1 and IM2 detected by satellites is also questioned. The article seeks to elucidate why no meteorites of extraterrestrial origin have been found despite evidence of a visiting population. The planning of a space mission to collect samples and reveal the mysteries of these interstellar visitors is suggested. [Extracted from the article]

This article presents the results of the construction and implementation of a sequence of teaching learning methodology taking on mind the Kepler's laws, their relationship with Newton's laws and their respective application in the classical description of the movement of asteroids in the Solar System. Is also linked the citizen science project for the asteroid identification of the international collaboration - IASC, with the intention to provide a context on the importance of the identification of asteroids in the Solar System. The implementation have been done with High School students from the club of astronomy of a district educational institution in the city of Bogotá. It is evident that the proposed activities contributed to a better understanding of the topics addressed in the classroom, and some of the difficulties that persist in the group are identified and that are tools to redesign the proposed lerning sequence.

The article describes the study of cosmic radiation using the AMS spectrometer, a particle detector installed on the International Space Station in 2011. The spectrometer has collected information on 1.9 × 1011 cosmic ray events since its operation began. Results have been obtained on the dependence of the flux of different nuclei as a function of rigidity, which provides important information about the production and propagation of cosmic rays in the galaxy. Phenomena that were not described by existing models have also been observed, indicating the need to continue data collection to improve results in different areas of research.

A study published in the Spanish Journal of Physics reveals new findings about brown dwarfs. An ammonia isotopologue was detected in an ultra-cool brown dwarf, allowing for a deeper understanding of its atmosphere structure and formation process. Additionally, a barred spiral galaxy, ceers-2112, was discovered, challenging current models of disk galaxy formation in the early universe. The first extrasolar radiation belt in a brown dwarf was also found, demonstrating its universality in other bodies beyond the Solar System. The study reveals that LSR J1835+ 3259, located 18 light-years away, is a transitional object between a star and a planet, with an estimated mass of 55 times that of Jupiter.

The present paper is a tribute to the legacy left by the largest astronomical experiment of the twentieth century. Eclipses and their multifaces are the main target of this paper. We will see that eclipses not only reveal the secrets of the stars, but also those of human nature. Inspiration and fascination with eclipses have enabled us to predict the future and imagine such phenomena in other solar systems. To immerse ourselves in this fascinating world, we will walk the paths that led a kind of nomadic primate with splinters of stone and bone to create wonderful machines that took us to places never thought of. Along the way, we will reflect on how scientists and thinkers have endeavored to maintain the flame of freedom and free thought. The paper goes on to present the historical background that led to the proof of Einstein's Theory of Relativity in the Sobral's sky. The next two topics point to the open questions in astrophysics that are the result of eclipse research: the solar corona problem and the discovery of exoplanets through the planetary transit technique. Finally, a general picture of the wave of obscurantism that questions the laws of physics and, in particular, the eclipses is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Overall, the book synthesizes the author's experience in studying these celestial phenomena and provides an updated view on impacts with asteroids and comets. [Extracted from the article]

This study seek to examine the explanatory models of secondary school students, concerning the solar system before and after an didactic intervention involving the history of science related to cosmological models, based from the cognitive model of science (Giere, 1992). The research took place in two stages: a. Design and validation of a didactic unit according to the constructivist learning cycle (Sanmartí, 2000); and b. Identification and comparison of the explicative models before and after the proposed educational intervention. The main findings expose that the role of the history of science is relevant for the construction of more complex and variable, dynamic explicative models related to cosmological theory. Such models were strongly characterized by the inclusion of novel elements, a strong correlation between several celestial bodies and to expose a more specialized language. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to show a relational and dialogic reading of the solar system or family circle. This new reading seeks to illustrate how the technique can benefit from the contribution of the theory of dialogical self, update and enrich their analytical and comprehensive system focused on the possibility of a personal identity system. Its utility is exemplified as a unique case design, segmenting instances of supervision with clinical vignettes respective sessions. Analysis with a relational matrix is hereby supplemented in order to display the functions and also the Personal Positions Repertoire (PPR, Hermans, 2001). We conclude, on the relevance of the pertaining strategy, the existence of challenges in the construction of subjectivity and inter changes with other current experiences trying to diagram a relational repertoire.

The origin of life is rooted in the most primitive events of planetary evolution, events which were faithfully registered by the extraterrestrial bodies today called meteorites, and which formed the main constituent of rocky planets, such as Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. This register includes the chemical compounds precursors of life, as well as those high-energy events, whose nature could have accelerated the process of chemical evolution leading to life or delaying it. On the other hand, Geology is the science that studies those objects and processes which have marked the planetary evolution of the interior of the Solar System, and consequently it is closely interrelated with the science of Meteoritics. This work analyses this intrinsic relationship by firstly considering the chemical and mineralogical properties of the actual meteorite populations because they represent the remaining of the objects (planetesimals), the coalescence of which formed the planets at the beginnings of the Solar Systems, and then deals with the negative or positive consequences of that accretionary process for the generation of life on Earth. As the main conclusion of this work thus, it may be stated that Geology and Meteoritics comprise the study natural processes intimately related with the early history of the Earth leading to the appearance of life only 1,000 million years (Ma) after the formation of the plane [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Long-term performance estimations were performed on a nonstandard domestic solar water heating system by f-Chart, interactive F-CHART software, and ɸ, f-Chart methods. Results of estimations were compared to gain insight of their applicability. Results from F-CHART software and f-Chart agree well and are greater than those from the ɸ, f-Chart method. Energy dumping should be given thorough reconsideration for the refinement of f-Chart and F-CHART software. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
