Macellan G\u00f6k adalar\u0131 nedir?
\nMacellan g\u00f6kadalar\u0131, Samanyolu galaksisinin etkisinde oldu\u011fu d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fclen, Samanyolunun d\u0131\u015f\u0131nda bulunan en yak\u0131n g\u00f6k adalar\u0131d\u0131r. Bu g\u00f6kadalar\u0131n\u0131n galaksimize uzakl\u0131\u011f\u0131 63 000 \u0131\u015f\u0131k y\u0131l\u0131d\u0131r. Hat\u0131rlarsan\u0131z andromeda 2,2 milyon \u0131\u015f\u0131ky\u0131l\u0131 idi. Yani andromedaya g\u00f6re olduk\u00e7a yak\u0131n bir mesafe. Dolay\u0131s\u0131 ile g\u00f6ky\u00fcz\u00fcnde ondan bu kadar b\u00fcy\u00fck g\u00f6z\u00fck\u00fcyorlar. G\u00f6ky\u00fcz\u00fcnde g\u00f6rd\u00fc\u011f\u00fcm\u00fcz t\u00fcm y\u0131ld\u0131zlar Samanyolu galaksisine aittir. Yani, Macellan g\u00f6k adalar\u0131 g\u00f6k y\u00fcz\u00fcnde g\u00f6rd\u00fc\u011f\u00fcm\u00fcz t\u00fcm y\u0131ld\u0131zlardan uzakt\u0131r. (Andromeda galaksisi de g\u00f6k y\u00fcz\u00fcnde adeta bir y\u0131ld\u0131z gibi nokta \u015feklinde g\u00f6r\u00fcn\u00fcr.)<\/p>\n
Bundan iki y\u0131l \u00f6nce y\u0131ld\u0131z foto\u011fraf\u00e7\u0131l\u0131\u011f\u0131na ba\u015flad\u0131\u011f\u0131mda, ilk \u00f6\u011frendi\u011fim bilgilerden bir tanesi, e\u011fer teleskop ya da bir tak\u0131m farkl\u0131 profesyonel ekipman kullanm\u0131yorsan\u0131z, foto\u011fraf\u0131n\u0131 \u00e7ekebilece\u011finiz sadece 4 galaksi yani g\u00f6k adas\u0131 bulunuyor. Bunlardan birisi, kendi galaksimiz olan Samanyolu, di\u011feri 2,2 milyon \u0131\u015f\u0131k y\u0131l\u0131 \u00f6tede bulunan Andromeda g\u00f6k adas\u0131d\u0131r.
\nBu iki spiral galaksinin d\u0131\u015f\u0131nda, \u00e7\u0131plak g\u00f6zle dahi g\u00f6zlemlenebilen B\u00fcy\u00fck Macellan ve K\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck Macellan G\u00f6kadalar\u0131 ise d\u00fcnyan\u0131n sadece g\u00fcney yar\u0131m k\u00fcresinden g\u00f6r\u00fclebilmektedir.
\nGe\u00e7en y\u0131l Brezilya ve Mozambik\u2019te bulunmama kar\u015f\u0131n, y\u0131ld\u0131z foto\u011fraf\u0131 \u00e7ekecek kadar vaktim olmad\u0131, ve uygun \u015fartlar\u0131 yakalayamad\u0131m. O zamandan beri i\u00e7imde kalan bu muhte\u015fem g\u00f6kadalar\u0131n\u0131 foto\u011fraflama iste\u011fini erteledim durdum.
\nT\u00fcrkiye\u2019de yaz d\u00f6neminin ya\u015fand\u0131\u011f\u0131 aylar olan Temmuz, A\u011fustos aylar\u0131nda yapt\u0131\u011f\u0131m denemeler ise s\u00f6z konusu G\u00f6k adalar\u0131 ufukta \u00e7ok az y\u00fckseldikleri i\u00e7in ba\u015far\u0131s\u0131z oldu, ideal \u015fartlar\u0131 yakalayamad\u0131m.
\nNihayet, \u00fclkemizde k\u0131\u015f aylar\u0131n\u0131n ya\u015fand\u0131\u011f\u0131 bu d\u00f6nemde b\u00fct\u00fcn haz\u0131rl\u0131klar\u0131m\u0131 yapt\u0131m, ve Mozambik\u2019in Ba\u015fkenti Maputo\u2019ya yakla\u015f\u0131k 200km uzakl\u0131kta bulunan Bilene isimli kasabaya geceyi ge\u00e7irmek \u00fczere yola \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131m.
\nGece olmaya ba\u015flad\u0131. Hava daha tamamen kararmam\u0131\u015ft\u0131 ki, tam Tepemde Orion Tak\u0131m y\u0131ld\u0131z\u0131n\u0131n y\u0131ld\u0131zlar\u0131 o kadar parlamaya ba\u015flad\u0131 ki, daha \u015fimdiden Macellan G\u00f6k adalar\u0131 resimlerim konusunda iyimser olmaya ba\u015flad\u0131m.
\nBu esnada bir de k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck s\u00fcprizle kar\u015f\u0131la\u015ft\u0131m, resim \u00e7ekme haz\u0131rl\u0131klar\u0131m\u0131 yaparken, i\u00e7erisinde 6 m\u00fcrettebat bulunan \u00e7ok ortakl\u0131 uzay projesi olan, 400 km y\u00fcksekte bulunan ISS, Uluslararas\u0131 Uzay \u0130stasyonu tam tepemden ge\u00e7ti. \u00d6nce onun ge\u00e7i\u015fini foto\u011fraflad\u0131m.
\nSonras\u0131nda hava daha da karard\u0131k\u00e7a g\u00f6ky\u00fcz\u00fc iyice parlamaya ba\u015flad\u0131. Y\u0131ld\u0131z foto\u011fraf\u00e7\u0131l\u0131\u011f\u0131 ile u\u011fra\u015ft\u0131ysan\u0131z \u00e7ok iyi bilinen bir \u015fey varsa, o da \u00e7ok karanl\u0131k bir yere gitti\u011finizde Samanyolu\u2019nun belirgin bir hat halinde parlay\u0131\u015f\u0131d\u0131r. Ancak gerek Afrika\u2019n\u0131n karanl\u0131k k\u0131ta olu\u015fu, gerekse, k\u0131rsal b\u00f6lgede bulunmam sebebi ile \u00f6yle bir parlakl\u0131k g\u00f6rd\u00fcm ki, g\u00f6ky\u00fcz\u00fc adeta sadece o hat \u00fczerinde dolu, geri kalan yerler bo\u015f gibi g\u00f6r\u00fcn\u00fcyordu.
\nG\u00fcney yar\u0131m k\u00fcrede, G\u00fcney kutup noktas\u0131na do\u011fru y\u00f6neldim. G\u00fcney kutup noktas\u0131n\u0131n etraf\u0131nda d\u00f6nen Mensa ve Dorado tak\u0131m y\u0131ld\u0131zlar\u0131n\u0131 bulmam gerekiyordu. \u00c7\u00fcnk\u00fc bu g\u00f6kadalar\u0131 bu tak\u0131m y\u0131ld\u0131zlar\u0131n\u0131n etraf\u0131ndayd\u0131.
\nB\u00fct\u00fcn haz\u0131rl\u0131klar\u0131m\u0131 tamamlad\u0131ktan sonra, hi\u00e7 beklenmedik bir \u015fey oldu, ve elektrikler gitti. K\u0131rsal b\u00f6lgede olmama ra\u011fmen, bulundu\u011fum k\u00f6y\u00fcn az da olsa \u0131\u015f\u0131klar\u0131 ve sokak ayd\u0131nlatmalar\u0131 vard\u0131. Elektrikler gittikten sonra adeta nutkum tutuldu. \u00c7\u00fcnk\u00fc g\u00f6ky\u00fcz\u00fc, hi\u00e7bir yard\u0131mc\u0131 uygulama kullanmaya gerek kalmayacak \u015fekilde i\u00e7indeki b\u00fct\u00fcn hazineleri a\u00e7\u0131\u011fa \u00e7\u0131kard\u0131.
\nG\u00f6ky\u00fcz\u00fcnde o kadar fazla y\u0131ld\u0131z g\u00f6r\u00fcn\u00fcyordu ki, sabaha kadar g\u00f6ky\u00fcz\u00fcn\u00fc izleyebilirdim. Samanyolu galaksisinin, u\u00e7 k\u0131s\u0131mlar\u0131na denk gelen Vela tak\u0131m y\u0131ld\u0131z\u0131n\u0131n oldu\u011fu b\u00f6lge inan\u0131lmaz derecede parlakt\u0131. Neredeyse denizde yakamozu olu\u015facakt\u0131. Ve bingo!
\nB\u00fcy\u00fck Macellan ve K\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck Macellan g\u00f6k adalar\u0131 tam kar\u015f\u0131mda, nerde olduklar\u0131 \u00e7ok belli bir \u015fekilde duruyorlard\u0131.
\nBu foto\u011fraf\u0131 \u00e7ekmeye haz\u0131rlan\u0131rken en merak etti\u011fim konu buydu, acaba bu g\u00f6k adalar\u0131 \u00e7\u0131plak g\u00f6zle \u00e7ok belirgin miydi? Elektrikler kesildikten sonra bu g\u00f6k adalar\u0131n\u0131n yerleri o kadar belirli oldu ki net \u015fekilde nerde ba\u015flad\u0131klar\u0131 ve nerde bittiklerini g\u00f6rebiliyordunuz.
\nG\u00f6k y\u00fcz\u00fcnde g\u00f6rd\u00fc\u011f\u00fcm g\u00f6r\u00fcnt\u00fc sanki, o b\u00f6lgelerde bulut par\u00e7alar\u0131 kalm\u0131\u015f gibiydi. Bu bulut par\u00e7alar\u0131ndan b\u00fcy\u00fck olan\u0131n b\u00fcy\u00fckl\u00fc\u011f\u00fc, g\u00f6ky\u00fcz\u00fcnde g\u00f6rd\u00fc\u011f\u00fcm\u00fcz dolun ay\u0131n 70 kat\u0131 b\u00fcy\u00fckl\u00fc\u011f\u00fcnde. G\u00f6r\u00fcnt\u00fcn\u00fcn ihti\u015fam\u0131n\u0131 bu \u00f6l\u00e7ekten anlayabilirsiniz.
\nVakit kaybetmeden hemen tripodumu kurdum. Foto\u011fraf makinesinin ayarlar\u0131, Samanyolu \u00e7ekerken yap\u0131lan ayn\u0131 ayarlar. Sadece net g\u00f6r\u00fcnt\u00fc elde etmek istiyorsan\u0131z pozlamada 20sn nin \u00fcst\u00fcne \u00e7\u0131kmay\u0131n. Makinemi ayarlad\u0131m ve g\u00f6k adalar\u0131n\u0131 foto\u011fraflad\u0131m.<\/p>\n
Bir m\u00fcddet sonra elektrikler geldi. Ancak biraz karanl\u0131k bir b\u00f6lgeye gittim zaman hala g\u00f6kadalar\u0131n\u0131n yerinin belli oldu\u011funu ve \u00e7\u0131plak g\u00f6zle g\u00f6r\u00fclebildiklerini g\u00f6rd\u00fcm.
\nAliya \u0130zzetbegovi\u00e7 demi\u015ftir ki, yery\u00fcz\u00fcn\u00fcn \u00f6\u011fretmeni olabilmek i\u00e7in g\u00f6ky\u00fcz\u00fcn\u00fcn \u00f6\u011frencisi olmak gerek. Ger\u00e7ekten ondan ne \u00f6\u011frenece\u011finizi bilirseniz g\u00f6ky\u00fcz\u00fc bir\u00e7ok a\u00e7\u0131dan \u00e7ok iyi bir \u00f6\u011fretmendir.
