MARS RÉTROGRADE :
Depuis des mois, Mars se glisse vers l’est parmi les étoiles de la constellation du Taureau. Hier, 30 octobre, il a fait marche arrière. Maintenant, la planète se déplace vers l’ouest.
Les astronomes appellent cela « retrograde motion. » C’est un signe que la Terre et Mars sont sur le point d’avoir une
rencontre rapprochée. Ce film d’un graphiste Larry Koehn explique tout :
Le début du mouvement rétrograde signifie que la Terre et Mars convergent. À l’approche la plus proche le 1er décembre, les deux mondes ne seront séparés que de 0,545 UA, offrant des vues
spectaculaires à travers des télescopes d’arrière-cour. Moins d’une semaine plus tard, le 7 décembre, la Lune passera devant Mars, créant
a lunar occultation visible de certaines parties des Amériques, de l’Europe et de l’Afrique du Nord.
Le mouvement rétrograde se poursuivra jusqu’au 12 janvier 2023 et lots will happen d’ici là. Profite du spectacle!

In 1987 Greenpeace established the ‘World Park Base’ in Antarctica which stayed until 1991
The main Bbase building was constructed in 1987 from prefabricated units, which were designed and manufactured by a German polar construction and engineering company. Between 1988 and 1990 several structures were added. Eventually, basebuildings consisted of an L-shaped main building and a small food storage and emergency building. The main building comprised an accommodation unit housing a common living area, four separate bedrooms, a bathroom, radio room, medical and science room, coat room and a room containing snow melting equipment. A cold porch was also attached. The engine room was housed in the same building, separated from theother facilities by a walkway. A lean-to was used for storage. The short side of the L-shaped building was formed by another unit joined to the main building by a walkway which housed a workshop, science lab, dark room and field equipment store. The latter unit, called the FOS hut, had been acquired from the Footsteps of Scott Expedition which had previously had a base at the site. 
The original base was designed to accommodate four persons. In later years, a workshop and laboratory building and two more bedrooms were prefabricated and added to the original structure as it became apparent that extra space was needed for the wintering teams. These additions were simple to construct andinstall, with minimum excavation necessary. Also installed on the base was amateur radio equipment for contact with Ham radio enthusiasts worldwide, and a Uosat satellite link that was part of a scientific project run in conjunction with the University of Sussex in the United Kingdom.
