Transit of Venus - 13 baktún. Tránsito de Venus frente al Sol - Live online by Mexico INAH and Canal22

 CANAL 22 E INAH TRANSMITIRÁN EN VIVO PASO DE VENUS - foto INAH
           
Transit of Venus astronomical event that won't be seen again soon, as the next will happen in more than 100 years.
The National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) and Mexican Canal 22 will broadcast live online the program 13 baktún - Transit of Venus.
During this program there will be information and interviews  about the Mayan calendars and its relation with astronomical phenomena like this one, and also the transit of Venus. There will be a special coverage from the archaelogical site of Mayapan, a mayan city where there is evidence that the Maya observed at least one transit of Venus (Maya observations of 13th century transits of Venus Jesús Galindo Trejo and Christine Allen).
13 baktún - From Wikipedia baktun (properly b'ak'tun) is 20 katun cycles of the ancient Maya Long Count Calendar. It contains 144,000 days, equal to 394.26 tropical years. The Classic period of Maya civilization occurred during the 8th and 9th baktuns of the current calendrical cycle. The current (13th) baktun will end, or be completed, on 13.0.0.0.0 (December 21, 2012 using the GMT correlation). This also marks the beginning of the 14th baktun, as such a term is usually used among Mayanists.

Full information about the program by INAH on this article: Programa 13 baktún. Tránsito de Venus frente al Sol

The program will be live online from 17:00 to 19:00 in the following channels:

Carlos Fuentes 1928-2012

Carlos Fuentes 19280-2012

Lamentamos profundamente el sensible fallecimiento del gran escritor Mexicano Carlos Fuentes.


Fragmento de "Los Hijos del Conquistador" de "El Naranjo" de Carlos Fuentes: 


"...El encuentro del desierto y el mar, los cactos inmensos y el mar transparente, el sol redondo como una naranja... Ese fue su otro gusto. Recordó que al llegar a Yucatán lo deslumbró ver un naranjo cuyas semillas trajeron hasta allí los dos náufragos desleales, Aguilar y Guerrero. Ahora mi propio padre, humillado por el sátrapa de Xalisco, el asesino Nuño de Guzmán, debió reembarcarse en la Barra de Navidad y navegar hasta la bahía de Acapulco, a donde desembarcó para seguir a México. Tuvo una idea. Le pidió semillas de naranjo al contramaestre de a bordo. Se guardó un puñado en su faltriquera. Pero en la costa acapulqueña buscó un lugar bien sombreado y frente al mar cavó hondo y plantó las semillas del naranjo."
