Mira ( /ˈmaɪrə/ or /ˈmɪrə/) also known as Omicron Ceti (ο Ceti, ο Cet), is a red giant star estimated 200-400 light years away in the constellation Cetus. Mira is a binary star, consisting of the red giant Mira A along with Mira B. Mira A is also an oscillating variable star and was the first non-supernova variable star discovered, with the possible exception of Algol. Apart from the unusual Eta Carinae, Mira is the brightest periodic variable in the sky that is not visible to the naked eye for part of its cycle. Its distance is uncertain; pre-Hipparcos estimates centered around 220 light-years, while Hipparcos data suggest a distance of 418 light-years, albeit with a margin of error of ~14%.
Evidence that the variability of Mira was known in ancient China, Babylon or Greece is at best only circumstantial. What is certain is that the variability of Mira was recorded by the astronomer David Fabricius beginning on August 3, 1596. Observing the planet Mercury, he needed a reference star for comparing positions and picked a previously unremarked third-magnitude star nearby. By August 21, however, it had increased in brightness by one magnitude, then by October had faded from view. Fabricius assumed it was a nova, but then saw it again on February 16, 1609.

Plot: Catena is a trip through five episodes, each one containing another genre. While all episodes build up on each other and lead to a dramatic climax, the separate parts tell stories on their own. The film portrays the principle of causality and shows how just a little decision can change your life forever - or put an end to it. Catena is a tour de force of drama, comedy, horror, thriller and does contain a love story aswell - a bad and gritty one. In the end, Catena is an indie-film which tries to explore new ways of narration and yet it still can grab the audiences attention just like a chilling tension- and humor-filled flick with its wave at mainstream.

Genres: Drama,Mira
Mira esta gente
mira este mundo
mira a tu alrededor,
mira en sus caras
mira en sus ojos solo te sentirás.
Mira a tu madre, mira a tu padre
ellos están igual,
ellos se ven igual.
En esta selva, en este infierno
yo ya no quiero estar lo que está bien
lo que está mal
no me interesa más
No soy humano, no soy de carne
no tengo huesos, no tengo sangre
soy sentimiento puro
y estoy a punto de reventar
