Para cualquier argentino el 17 de Octubre tiene connotaciones políticas. Se puede ser o no peronista pero el "Día de la Lealtad" se cuela indefectiblemente en nuestra cotidianeidad.Hace más de cuatrocientos años, en la noche del 16 al 17 de Octubre de 1604, el astrónomo Johannes Kepler observó una estrella excepcionalmente brillante en la noche.
Estaba situada en la constelación de Ophiuchus u Ofiuco. Éste también llamado Asclepio era hijo del dios Apolo y llegó a ser un médico tan poderoso que resucitaba a los muertos. Esto obviamente ofendió a Hades que le pidó a Zeus que matara a Ofiuco. Zeus lo hizo pero decidió situarlo en el cielo rodeado por la serpiente, símbolo de la vida renovada.
Lo que Kepler vio es conocido hoy como la SN 1604, la supernova de Kepler una gigantesca explosión estelar.
Sencillamente fue la última supernova observada en nuestra propia galaxia, la Vía Láctea a aproximadamente 20.000 años luz de la tierra.
El maestro de Kepler, Tycho Brahe, había observado otra supernova pocos años antes.
Kepler lo explicó en un libro que intituló De Stella nova in pede Serpentarii (Sobre la nueva estrella en el pie de la Serpiente).
Al día de hoy no se han observado más supernovas en nuestra galaxia.

en cuanto a su post, si. pero eso tambien es un hecho politico, solo que como es lejano la gente parce no darle importancia. pero esto es un punto de vista. y todo punto de vista es, tambien, una posicion politica. será la noche incandescente una noche peronista?
¨ no voy a negar el trasfondo político de mi post, que adjudica en el fondo más importancia a una supernova en la galaxia que a una manifestación popular apoyando a un milico en un país sudamericano.
Pero más que una manifestación de derecha gorila preferiría que sea vista como una denotación astronómico anarquista.
Al lado de la supernova el general Perón es un granito de arena en la playa. Como todos nosotros.
Pero especialmente todos los militares, subraya el anarquista malo que me posee a veces.
