very good everyone and welcome to another
program of Atraviesa el unknown
Live speaks to you F as always as you can see
I'm still a little stuck in the throat But
well here I bring you a program with
three phenomena three phenomena that are
very particular that will occur in
heaven and We will only see them once in
a lifetime and they will occur in

2024. Starting today there is a comet
that will begin to be seen in the sky
better and better. It is a comet that has a
very special shine that makes it unique.
We are never going to see a comet with that
shape, which is the shape that this
Comet has, it is shaped like a
Millennium Falcon. The Comet actually surprised
a lot with its brightness and is very interesting.
It is called 12p Pons Brooks and its nucleus was
described as larger. that the Mon
breest and Compared to the
Millennium Falcon from Star Wars due to its
horns is a comet with
a shape so strange that it will only be seen
once in a lifetime
amateur astronomers have captured images but
it will soon be visible to the naked eye between
March and April 2024 to locate it,
go west in the
night sky Looking for the great square of
Pegasus and observe how it moves towards
the constellation of Ari
this comet orbits the sun every 71 years
it will approach 232 million kilometers
and its closest point to the The sun will be on
April 21, it will shine brightly at the end of
March. So it is imminent. It is a
typical cryoven comet. What makes it
special is that shape. It is
expected that the comet will look like
a faint mass similar to a star.
with a nebulous tail and you can
see its strange shape through the telescope
and it will certainly be a once
in a lifetime event. We will not see it again until
the year
2095. Many of us will not be
here and now set the date for
April 8. of 2024, Monday, point out why it is going
to be one of the best eclipses in
recent times. The total solar eclipse
will travel through most of North America
and the best places to see it will be the United
States, Mexico and Canada, so it
will be an event that millions and millions will see.
million people and well now I'm
going to show you an animation from the science.nasa.gov website.
As you can see, the eclipse first passes through
this area and then leaves here,
almost reaching Spain, but it doesn't
arrive. Look at how it enters this
area through This area of Mexico and ends up
crossing the United States and ends up
leaving through Canada until it enters
the
Atlantic Ocean. I leave the link below
in case you want to see this animation, which
is very good. It also lets us choose
here if we also want to see it from the
moon. It is quite interesting but we
cannot take this time that it shows us here as a
reference. The times
that can be taken as a reference are
those of this deepspace website,
as it does show us the
exact times for each point where it is in
red. Well, the eclipse will be total here
partial start total start so well
the total start would be at 2:26 around
here until 3:33 Nothing then also
in Austin the total start at
12:36 in the afternoon in Buffalo at 2:18
cliveland
2 :13 Dallas 12:40 Indianapolis
206 But well, I'm going to go directly
to the cities of
Mexico that are also around here, as
you can see here in Acapulco we don't have a total and
the maximum is going to be at 12:07 this time
is when we will see it to the maximum and here
we get when it will be Total no And as you
see in the majority of Mexico it is at 12
in Torreón it will be total at
12:15 12:20 more or less and well After
seeing the hours now we are going to see
where It will happen depending on whether
this strip is total or not because it is the totality
of 100% as you see 100% in Mazatlá
it will pass here first in the morning
Here more or less it happens it will be at 12
as you see Torreón Durango and for example
here in Monterrey this It would be 95,
so Monterrey is going to look very,
very good here, Guadalajara, for
example, 90 in Potosí, we are already going
a little towards 85 around there, then
here in Houston, well, we have 94,
more or less, Dallas, well. gives absolutely
full it will be total and then it will
slide around here here in Chicago
it will be more or less 94 for Detroit
99% almost total Washington Philadelphia
New York we will have it at more than 90 for
in Toronto also in Boston also
here Toronto in In this case almost 100% as you
see Boston Well
99% more or less Montreal as you see it will be
100% and in the end it will go out towards the
Atlantic Ocean you will ask apart from
all this that we are seeing Why is
this eclipse special and once in a
lifetime the NASA explains it to us And it is
an eclipse that coincides with the maximum
solar maximum, the maximum solar point that
occurs, as many of you will know, every
11 years and this eclipse is precisely because it is
at the maximum of the total solar thanks to
that on the outside. You will see
large protuberances and injections of
coronal mass, being something that is only seen
once in a lifetime in this way, so
you know, put it in your diary for
April 8 to see this incredible eclipse,
especially if you lived in Mexico and pay
attention because before September
2024, another astronomical phenomenon is expected
that we will see in the sky that
will only be seen once in a lifetime. It is
extremely rare. This is because
astronomers have been monitoring this
rare star system. And it is believed that before
September 2024 it will something spectacular to happen
although it could be extended
a little further in time it all began
in the year
1217 when a German monk named
Burchard observed a star that
shone in an exceptionally
intense and persistent way. The monk described
the event as a wonderful sign and
wrote that the star shone
brightly for many days And one of
the Wonders of astronomy is the
way in which very occasionally
stars suddenly shine
spectacularly when the star in
question was too faint to see,
it may appear as if it had appeared
a new star and before the
invention of the telescope they were known
as Nova Estella novae, which in
Latin means new star.
Specifically, these stars are 2,500
light years away in the direction of the
constellation of the corona borealis and
a brightness is expected of this
Nova type, the event will occur because
what is known as t coronae borealis or
t crb is not one star but two, although
binaries are the
most common stellar arrangement, this pair is a
dangerous combination of a red giant and a
white nana, both modestly More massive
than the Sun Over time, the intense
gravity of the White Nana is
pulling material from the Red Giant,
creating an accretion disk similar to
one that orbits a
black hole when some of that material
gets close enough to the Nana. Blanca is
heated to the point where
fusion occurs, which causes an
increase in brightness. You will ask, How do
astronomers know that this is going to happen?
Well, this came from astronomers at the
University of Lisiana, specifically from
Bradley Safer, who is this man who
You see here this man because in the year
1946 he saw that extraordinary increase
in brightness and well he detected a series of
patterns those patterns are just
happening now So just connecting the
dots because it is expected that it will simply
happen Exactly the same tcrb would
look good from the hemisphere north and
a little worse from the south but still
NASA predicts that tcb should be
visible to the naked eye for a few days
followed by about a week
in which binoculars should still
be enough to find this
new star You simply have to look
between the stars Vega and Arturo a
little closer to Arturo there
by comparing you will see a point that was not there before
and well now I bring you a
very interesting website that takes us
from the microscopic world to the
macroscopic world the website is called scale of
universe.com when you We give here as you can
see Well, it takes us to a human scale But we
can investigate a little by
sliding this bar towards the
macroscopic world as well as we can go towards
smaller scales, look. How curious
when we go to
smaller and smaller scales, look, look at a grain of
rice. here we can give you some
information in English but notice that
we can go towards the unknown towards the
microscopic and we can explore towards the
limit of the visible
look how interesting the
carbon nanotubes the atoms we are going to expand further
the atoms take us
smaller wave of
Gamma rays smaller uranium nucleus
electron proton neutron and it tells us here
that the lengths shorter than this
are not confirmed that is to say here
they would take us to everything absolutely
known, not in this case the neutrinos
the quarks and well if we go a lot
beyond as you see it lets us go even
through the smallest quantum foam
and well cosmic strings
plan lengths etc. But if we don't go to the other
side then it also lets us go to the
macroscopic world it lets us look at the
stars it lets us go towards objects every
time bigger and bigger, comparing well
with the different distances, look
how we go further and further and further to
the largest structures in the universe
and we can compare them and open
each one of them to see the
explanation. The truth is, it is a
very interesting website that Eh Well, I'll leave it to you
and you can explore it. It's a
recent website that really surprised me
a lot, just for today. See you in
the next
program. Until
next time.
