NGC 7822, also known as the Cosmic Question Mark, is a young star-forming region located in the constellation Cepheus. This vast area is only partially visible in this wide-field image that spans over 3 degrees of arc.
This image was taken with a RASA 8 telescope and ASI2600 MC Pro camera, with a IDAS NBZ II dual narrowband filter from Bortle 7 skies in Idaho Falls. The original 6085 x 4121 pixel image was downsized for posting.
Two exposures combined to create this image. A single shot of the tree and a single shot of the Milky Way Galaxy. I zoomed the lens whilst exposing the night sky over 30 seconds. I layered the images in Photoshop.
The CCE - Center for Cosmic Energy
Two Russian Artists-Scientists, Illiya and Emillia Kabakov, observed that throughout the ancient world exist places with thrones at a 60 degree angle to the surface of the earth. The Temple of Apollo in Delphi, the Throne of the Gods in Mongolia, the Icelandic landscape where the first parliament was created, Stonehedge- these places of serenity and spirituality are all thrones at a 60 degree angle. What does this mean? It means that Cosmic Energy rays arrive to planet earth at 60 degrees. Why is this? The Kabakovs discovered a new layer in the atmosphere - the noosphere, which twists the cosmic energy to 60 degrees. In recent archaeological findings in Somerville, MA, it seems that Tufts University's Aidekman Arts Center is a reservoir of Cosmic Energy - a giant mushroom-shaped rock at 60 degrees to the earth was found (see the mushroom www.flickr.com/photos/aliciaseesmice/1216980857/ ). It seems that Medford-Somerville, MA, contains one of the greatest reservoirs of Cosmic Energy on earth. The Kabakov's envisions to build here a Center for Cosmic Energy, in order to save the Cosmos.
Has anyone heard of something more bizarre?

The Universe is a dusty place, as this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Picture of the Week shows. Featured in this image are swirling clouds of gas and dust near the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud. About 160 000 light-years away in the constellations Dorado and Mensa, the Large Magellanic Cloud is one of the nearest galaxies to the Milky Way. The Tarantula Nebula is the most productive star-forming region in the nearby Universe, home to the most massive stars known.
The colourful gas clouds of this nebula are crossed by wispy tendrils and dark clumps of dust. This dust is different from ordinary household dust, which can be made of bits of soil, skin cells, hair and even plastic. Cosmic dust tends to be made of carbon or of molecules called silicates, which contain silicon and oxygen. The data used to create this image were collected as part of an observing programme that aims to characterise the properties of cosmic dust in the Large Magellanic Cloud and other nearby galaxies.
Dust plays several important roles in the Universe. Even though individual dust grains are incredibly tiny, far smaller than the width of a single human hair, dust grains in discs around young stars clump together to form larger grains and eventually planets. Dust also helps cool clouds of gas so that they can condense into new stars. Dust even plays a role in making new molecules in interstellar space, providing a venue for individual atoms to find each other and bond together in the vastness of space.
[Image Description: A portion of a nebula, made of variously-coloured layers of dust clouds. One upper layer is dark reddish dust which is dense and obscures light, in places so dense that it appears black. A middle layer is pale clouds that are thick like curling wisps of smoke. They form a broad bow across the centre of the image. Many small, bright stars lie throughout the nebula, coloured blue, purple or red depending on depth.]

This Hubble Space Telescope image shows how young, energetic, massive stars illuminate and sculpt their birthplace with powerful winds and searing ultraviolet radiation.
The giant red nebula (NGC 2014) and its smaller blue neighbor (NGC 2020) are part of a vast star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, located 163,000 light-years away. The image is nicknamed the “Cosmic Reef,” because it resembles an undersea world.
The sparkling centerpiece of NGC 2014 is a grouping of bright, hefty stars, each 10 to 20 times more massive than our Sun. The stars’ ultraviolet radiation heats the surrounding dense gas and unleash fierce winds of charged particles that blast away lower-density gas, forming the bubble-like structures seen on the right. The blue areas in NGC 2014 reveal the glow of oxygen, heated to nearly 20,000 degrees Fahrenheit by the blast of ultraviolet light. The cooler, red gas indicates the presence of hydrogen and nitrogen.
By contrast, the seemingly isolated blue nebula at lower left (NGC 2020) has been created by a solitary mammoth star 200,000 times brighter than our Sun. The blue gas was ejected by the star through a series of eruptive events during which it lost part of its outer envelope of material.
This image commemorates Hubble's 30th anniversary in orbit.

My remake of the 6890 Cosmic Cruiser set from 1982.
Thanks ~ Lego Night ~ for the background!
The Cosmic cruiser, although not the fastest starship in the federation, is a useful exploration and transportation vehicle. Its capable of low-altitude travel, and can deploy the pilot's seat as an X-5 Land speeder. As the Cosmic Cruiser is not primarily built for combat, it's equipped with only two front-tipped forward facing torpedo launchers. (I still haven't decided if the gadgets on the wing tips are weapons or antennas...) Hope you like it!

Yeah, my christmas present arrived yesterday finally! It's a Cosmic Jupi, I named her Caprica! ^^
She is incredible!!! <3
Explored on Dec. 30th :)
The center of this image from the Hubble Space Telescope is framed by the tell-tale arcs that result from strong gravitational lensing, a striking astronomical phenomenon which can warp, magnify, or even duplicate the appearance of distant galaxies. Gravitational lensing occurs when light from a distant galaxy is distorted by the gravitational pull of an intervening astronomical object. In this case, the relatively nearby galaxy cluster MACSJ0138.0-2155 has lensed a significantly more distant galaxy — a slumbering giant known as MRG-M0138 —that has run out of the gas required to form new stars and is located 10 billion light years away. Astronomers can use gravitational lensing as a natural magnifying glass, allowing them to inspect objects like distant galaxies which would usually be too difficult for even Hubble to resolve.

Virgin 19 heads to the gate on International A at San Francisco International Airport. Cosmic Girl lives on as an airborne launcher for Virgin Galactic.
As I'm waiting for my figs to print, thought I'd share a few reviews of some figs I've gotten recently. The first up is Cosmic Spider by SoCal Minifigures (Ignacio). I'll hope to get Techno Girl too in the next week or so, just been too busy this summer to stay ahead.
First, have to admit, I had no clue there was such thing as Cosmic Spidey. :P But, nonetheless, I found myself slowly drawn to the design of the character. Then I looked him up and knew I had to have one, especially in Dark Blue.
What is great about this minifigure is first of all it's very simple yet clean design. All the elements on the fig are well placed, and look very much like the comic character. I'm not sure if this was in the Lego Marvel Superheroes game, as I don't remember this one, but it looks like it would belong there. I like the small star patterns found in different places on the body, as they are well spaced out. I also like the way the dark blue contrasts with the white, and the eyes on the fig are well drawn - almost looking mean.
The only slight critique of this figure I would have is that the white on the torso doesn't exactly match the legs as much (I know it's hard to tell with the stark contrast I used in editing the picture, but it is a bit off) Even though it doesn't match perfectly, it is very close and when I look at it, it still works and is not a distraction at all.
A solid fig overall and one worth adding to the collection. Great job on your first custom, Ignacio!
"Cosmic Windmill" I have been sitting on this image for awhile now, im not sure why i haven't shared it but more than likely its due to being a perfectionist and always wanting to improve. Anyway, This is a scene i was happy to shoot because i wasn't alone while i made it. I was shooting this old broken windmill and had the company of cows resting quietly against the stars. Although the cows are quite camera shy and continued to hide from the camera view during exposure, they were happy to keep me company as i gazed the sky above us. The night sky didn't disappoint that evening either, the milky way was brilliant and a stray meteor made a cameo in my shot during exposure. This spot is a new favorite location of mine, so get used to seeing more scenes encompassing this old windmill and farm in the future. the weekend is here and its a New Moon so im planning my next night excursion in search of clear dark skies and stunning views of this lovely landscape called California. Wishing everyone a great weekend! thanks for stopping by & stay classy :-D

"In the history of collective as in the history of the individual, everything depends on the development of consciousness. This gradually brings liberation from imprisonment in unconsciousness, and [the trickster] is therefore a bringer of light as well of healing.”
“The so-called civilised man has forgotten the trickster. He remembers him only figuratively and metaphorically, when, irritated by his own ineptitude, he speaks of fate playing tricks on him or of things being bewitched. He never suspects that his own hidden and apparently harmless shadow has qualities whose dangerousness exceeds his wildest dreams.”
“He is a forerunner of the saviour and, like him, God, man, and animal at once. He is both subhuman and superhuman, a bestial and divine being, whose chief and most alarming characteristic is his unconsciousness… He is so unconscious of himself that his body is not an unity, and his two hands fight each other.”
[Quotes by Carl Jung taken from his work "Archetypes and Collective Unconscious"]
________________________________________________________________
In praise of folly
Anima Mundi
Cosmic dancer
Zero is the number
The forerunner of the savior
Folly stands with
celestials in favor
As the wisdom of the world
is denied
closer to the truth
of the cosmos
O spiritual element!
Which gives earthly existence
charm and value
Salt of life,
yet you taste sweet
Bringing refreshment and
real treat!
Mediator to the center of the soul
Although the fool is always
too much or too less
Half god - half animal
Not un- but amoral
Mask of virtue
How much evil has been transformed
through wisdom?
(The owl of Minerva
comes too late again)
Beneath the consciousness
lies the archetype
When peasants aping the king:
Silliness an ancient
purifying rite
The fool clowning
between
Apollo and Bacchus’ sleight
Like the cunning Hermes
Flying through three worlds
Encrypted remains the
inner access
In Mercury the contradictions
Are connected
Healing begins with the
truth
So let the fool kiss the wound,
that only he can heal
No cure for the Fisher King
dying he lives despite this is fleed
the coffin
If the child is halfway into the
rational world
So the fool is on the right track
to escape
and laughs at those
who boast of their sageness
For divine folly is wiser
than compared to philosophy
and even its weakness
is stronger
Destroyed shall be
the wisdom of the wise
despoiler of most beautiful illusions
fantasised!
Why were we given by
Jupiter in a pound of passion
hardly mixed an ounce of reason?
Unwise deception brings delight
brings us love and the champion
Icy winds on mountain tops
The truth is to flattering mouth
no guest
Only the bread eater holds up
a mirror to the king
And the whim hides
the almost unspeakable
In crude jokes
of the most foolish kind
Why separating the paradise of the
fool from the misdeed?
The latter would never have arisen
had one learned to laugh
in dire need
So there are many classes of
fools
from the first screaming child
on every continent
in every literaral category
The fool can be found
in every human repertory
So let no one deceive
himself!
For whoever thinks to be wise
in this world
let him become a fool
so that he may become wise in the way
he was appointed to

Cosmic Head 🗻✨💀
Stack•Track•Composite•Deepscape
Ok so this comp is special because it's the first and only time I've imaged the Rosette Nebula and this is a second edit, I excluded a couple of light frames that had them thin annoying clouds. Just to make it clear both FG and SKY was captured the same night though not at the exact same tripod position, also different focal lengths. We have many mountains around this city all part of the Andes mountain range but this one is called Mururata and has a peculiar legend, the story tells that Mururata wanted to be above all and was punished and ultimately had his head cut off by his brother Illimani, the top of the head then became another mountain called Sajama. It all came together now... Mururatas head is projected into the night sky as the Rosette Nebula and also fits nicely in the cut off part of the mountain. With this in mind I will try to have another sesh with the Rosette and Mururata.
Ok that's it, I wish you all clear skies and cosmic vibes!✨

Cosmic Emotions As the moon reigned over her chariot, the horizon was red, fell in love with the nature and the stars shone even more! Mars and Saturn dragged the dance, in Libra, in Ophiuchus and Scorpio and our Galaxy as a delusion shining in the firmament ... Perhaps the most fabulous thing was to swim under the light of our galaxy and around you, in your touch, hundreds of blue Fluorescent Plankton lights illuminate ... how majestic is nature!
