ENGLISH

I love the performance of Coldplay’s song MY UNIVERSE given by the Ukrainian children choir COLOR MUSIC. One of Mexico’s most famous scientists, Marcos Moshinsky, was born in Ukraine and immigrated to our country at age 3. His studies focused on Quantum Physics…a necessary tool to understand the universe. Through music and science…let’s connect with OUR UNIVERSE 🤓 !

ESPAÑOL

He quedado impactado con el coro infantil ucraniano COLOR MUSIC y la interpretación que le dan a la canción MY UNIVERSE de Coldplay. Curiosamente, uno de los científicos más reconocidos en nuestro país, nació en Ucrania y emigró a México a la edad de 3 años naturalizándose años después como mexicano. Su especialidad era el estudio relacionado a la física cuántica…conocimientos muy importantes para comprender al universo. ¡A través de la música y la ciencia, conectémonos con NUESTRO UNIVERSO 🤓!

Equinox

Teotihuacán in the central state of “Estado de México”.

ENGLISH

Mexicans love to welcome the spring equinox at ancient sacred places such as Teotihuacan, Chichen Itza & Tajin. The word equinox comes from the Latin words aequus(equal) and nos (night) giving the term equal night (since day and night have the same length during that day). In the northern hemisphere this happens when the Sun crosses the line of the equator with a northerly direction and it only happens twice a year: around March 19-20 and September 21-24. In Chichen Itza there is an interesting phenomenon of a “heavenly dragon” (Quetzalcoatl) descending from the main pyramid.

Chichen Itzá in the southeastern state of Yucatán.

ESPAÑOL

Los mexicanos acostumbramos visitar algunos sitios considerados sagrados tales como Teotihuacán, Chichen Itzá o el Tajín, para recibir el equinoccio de la primavera. La palabra equinoccio  proviene de la palabra latina aequus (igual) y la palabra nos(noche) dando origen al concepto de noche igual pues durante ese día la noche y el día tienen la misma duración. En el hemisferio norte ocurre cuando el sol cruza el ecuador, con dirección rumbo al norte con respecto al cielo, sucediendo esto sólo dos veces al año: en marzo entre el 19 y 20 y en septiembre, entre el 21 y 24. En Chichen itzá ocurre un interesante fenómeno done se ilumina la figura del Dios Quetzalcóatl simulando su descenso del cielo a la tierra.

In Tajín at the eastern state of Veracruz.

ENGLISH

The winter solstice usually takes place around the 21stor 22ndof December. On very rare occasions it takes place on the 20thor 23rdof December. Several ancient civilizations have designed constructions such as Stonehenge in England or Edzna in southeastern Mexico to be aware of this astronomical moment highlighting the shortest day of the year. There are also natural landmarks that “embrace” the winter solstice such as the Saddle Mountain located in Mexico’s 3rdlargest city, Monterrey where the sun comes out right at the center of the “saddle” during the winter solstice. 

ESPAÑOL

El solsticio de invierno suele suceder el 21 o 22 de diciembre y en muy raras ocasiones cae el 20 o el 23 de diciembre. En algunos lugares del mundo antiguas civilizaciones han diseñado construcciones que marcan este evento astronómico tales como Stonehenge en Inglaterra o Edzná en Campeche, México para señalar el día mas corto del año. También hay lugares naturales que enmarcan este fenómeno tales como el Cerro de la Silla, localizado en la ciudad mexicana de Monterrey, donde el sol sale justo en la parte central de la “silla” de montar, al cual el nombre del famoso cerro hace referencia.

ENGLISH
Last week we experienced in Mexico a total eclipse of the moon. So the “rabbit that lives in the moon” (according to ancient Mayan tales) was gone for a while. Although the eclipse was not seen in Asia, did you know that the Chinese also have a tale about a “rabbit living in the moon”? What an interesting coincidence!

ESPAÑOL
Hace una semana presenciamos en México un espectacular eclipse total de la luna así que el “conejo que vive en la luna” (de acuerdo a los mitos mayas) se desapareció por unos instantes. Aunque el eclipse no fue visto en Asia, los chinos también tienen el mito del “conejo que vive en la luna”. ¡Qué interesante coincidencia!
