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.

Yeah, my christmas present arrived yesterday finally! It's a Cosmic Jupi, I named her Caprica! ^^
She is incredible!!! <3
Explored on Dec. 30th :)
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

A photograph of a spider's web spotted between some railings outside OUP one dismal rainy January day. The view through the railings is very uninspiring so I've played around in Elements and created a background which has turned out ressembling the 'Big Bang' lol !

Just some Cosmic Marvel figs I've been working on. I felt it was about time I posted them, since they've been lying round for quite a while now :P
From L to R:
Silver Surfer - Well, he's not silver, but I'm happy with him. I think I was inspired by someone else who has posted this design, so if that's you just say so in the comments.
Gladiator - Based off his original design. Pretty happy with him, though I'm disappointed the head isn't a bit more purple. Also, expect an Annihilators group shot in the near-ish future.
J'son of Spartax - Based off his appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Avengers, with my own little tweaks.
Korath the Pursuer - An amalgamation of his comic and movie appearances. Really happy with him.
Quasar (Wendell Vaughn) - Found that torso and though it would look fairly decent on him, and IMO it works. He is slightly based off his original appearance, with a few tweaks from me.
Major Victory - Fairly pleased with him. His body is based off his modern design, and his head from his original look (mainly because I can't find a dark blue head :P)
Yondu - Really pleased with him. Obviously the dorsal fin on his head is comic based, and the rest is based off his Yondu Dixon appearance :P. Also added a crossbow instead of the regular bow he's seen with in the comics.
The Collector - Completely based off his GotG appearance. Also, I made this before the SDCC fig was shown, so when he was announced I wasn't too angry. Well, not too much anyway :P. Also equipped with the Aether.
Enjoy :)

It was a gorgeous Sunday morning sunrise at Margate City beach. I was taking pictures and video when I saw this strange thing. It looked and felt like a squishy clear grape. And it was about the size of a small grape. And it appears to refract sunlight.
And I shot some video too:

I overlayed two images together and it feels like it came out like cosmic brilliance.
Very cool looking Colorado Stratocumulus clouds in the sky with the cosmic sun peeking through.

Here's another shot of the Northern Lights up in Alaska. I liked this shot since it looks like a cosmic explosion. Believe it or not, it was snowing on me when I took this picture. I still can't explain how snow can fall when the sky is clear??
A massive galaxy cluster in the constellation Cetus dominates the centre of this image from the Hubble Space Telescope. This image is populated with a serene collection of elliptical and spiral galaxies, but galaxies surrounding the central cluster — named SPT-CL J0019-2026 — appear stretched into bright arcs, as if distorted by a gargantuan magnifying glass.
This cosmic contortion is called gravitational lensing, and it occurs when a massive object like a galaxy cluster has a sufficiently powerful gravitational field to distort and magnify the light from background objects. Gravitational lenses magnify light from objects that would usually be too distant and faint to observe, and so these lenses can extend Hubble’s view even deeper into the universe.
This particular galaxy cluster lies at a vast distance of 4.6 billion light years from Earth.

"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
[Translation of my poem "Preisung des Narrentums", 2023]
