It's no mistery that I'm very fascinated by urban landscapes:I love to walk around the city with my camera looking for some rough spot.
Dirty walls, tunnels and dodgy places look so cool!
Now playing: SBTRKT - Trials of the Past
At the dawn of new lunar exploration campaigns, scheduled for the years to come, in order to detect and map the location of important natural elements such as hydrogen, oxygen and lunar water, our project “Moon Exploration” commemorates the lunar exploration missions, 50 years ago now!
This collaborative project build in real Lego bricks was created in November 2021 by Valerie Roche and Matthew Nolan.
At Minifigure scale (1/42), our 302 bricks design includes:
-A display base measuring 26 x 18 studs (20.8 x 14.4 cm) with, inscribed on its periphery, the 12 astronauts’ names who walked on the Moon.
-The Moon Buggy (LRV: Lunar Roving Vehicle) designed to help astronauts explore the surface of the moon.
For more playability, like in real life, our model includes all the on-board instruments and can be folded up to fit in a volume of 6 x 6 x 9 studs.
- Retro-reflector (LLRE: Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment) that accurately measures the earth-moon distance and its variations with the round trip of a laser pulse sent from the Earth.
-Seismometer (PSEP: Passive Seismic Experiment Package) Fully autonomous with orientable solar panels and a telecommunications system. It also comprises a lunar dust detector.
-Two astronauts and the American flag.
Happy New Year!

While Julian is listening to Universe and weaves his music right from the star stuff...
we may read a fantastic review on Julian's "Argonauts of Kosmos", titled "Discover New Age with Julian Ray" and written by John P. Olsen, editor & host of New Age Music World, a top Musician Showcase website, an independent source on New Age Music Artists around the world.
It was exiting to read this well written piece inspired by Julian's new cosmic release, which is in words of the author, John Olsen, "...aglow in bright ambience and the deeply mysterious moments enhance the bold adventuresome qualities of the music without ever leaving one wanting more or stranded all alone in the twilight zone...."
A little more from the review: "Julian Ray has planned the itinerary for his cosmic explorations on Argonauts of Kosmos as one of true excitement. While on this expedition into the outer zonal boundaries of electronic music, novel melodic landmarks are created and mysterious territories are revealed to become an experimental project in spatial music ready for your discovery."
I'm really happy for Julian on this great recognition of his unique music - Congratulations!!!

Melissa Rice, Western Washington University, speaks during the First Landing Site/Exploration Zone Workshop for Human Missions to the Surface of Mars held at the Lunar and Planetary Institute, Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2015, in Houston, Texas. The agency is hosting the workshop to collect proposals for locations on Mars that would be of high scientific research value while also providing natural resources to enable human explorers to land, live and work safely on the Red Planet.

Covering over 70 percent of the Earth’s surface, the ocean represents our planet’s largest habitat, containing 99 percent of the living space on the planet. This vast area supports the life of nearly 50 percent of all species on Earth.
The main focus of the third session of Pangaea is volcanism. Lessons on the first day emphasized types of lavas and volcanoes found across Earth, Mars and the Moon.
ESA’s Pangaea training course prepares astronauts and space engineers to identify planetary geological features for future missions to the Moon, Mars and asteroids.
Leading European planetary geologists share their insights into the geology of the Solar System.
Through Pangaea, Europe is developing operational concepts for surface missions where astronauts and robots work together, among themselves and with scientists and engineers on Earth, using the best field geology and planetary observation techniques.
Stay tuned on the blog

Outside a regolith bin at the agency's Kennedy Space center in Florida, an engineer operates controls for a lightweight simulator version of NASA's Resource Prospector during a mobility test. The Resource Prospector mission aims to be the first mining expedition on another world. Operating on the moon’s poles, the robot is designed to use instruments to locate elements at a lunar polar regions, then excavate and sample resources such as hydrogen, oxygen and water. These resources could support human explores on their way to destinations such as farther into the solar system.
