Hellouin
imeet drevnee astronomicheskoe proishozhdenie.
Nachinaya s pyatogo veka do nashei ery
on
otmechaetsya, kak
den' smeny vremeni goda,
to est' den', nahodyashiisya poseredine mezhdu
ravnodenstviem
(den' raven nochi) i zimnim
solncestoyaniem
(minimal'naya prodolzhitel'nost' dnya, maksimal'naya prodolzhitel'nost' nochi)
v severnom polusharii.
Hellouin otmechaetsya segodnya,
odnako po
sovremennomu kalendaryu
nastoyashii
den', nahodyashiisya poseredine mezhdu ravnodenstviem i solncestoyaniem,
nastupit tol'ko cherez nedelyu.
Drugim takim perehodnym dnem –
ot zimy k vesne –
yavlyaetsya
Den' surka.
Sovremennyi obychai prazdnovaniya Hellouina
sohranyaet
istoricheskie korni –
lyudi odevayutsya tak, chtoby
otpugnut'
duhi mertvyh.
Podhodyashei sovremennoi illyustraciei k etomu drevnemu prazdniku mozhet sluzhit'
etot vid krupnym planom na
tumannost' Koldun (NGC 7380).
Vzaimodeistvie zvezd, gaza i pyli sozdalo formy, kotorye nekotorym lyudyam napominayut
srednevekovogo maga.
Hotya tumannost' budet sushestvovat' vsego neskol'ko millionov let, nekotorye
zvezdy,
sformirovavshiesya v nei iz szhimayushegosya pod deistviem
gravitacii gaza, smogut
perezhit' nashe Solnce.
