Hot off the presses from the IDIOTs (Intergalactic Digital Imaging Optical Technicians). Data captured by the Hullbull Remote Space Telescope on the return trip through a small galaxy in the Abell 2744 cluster show a small emission/reflection nebula, possibly the supernova remains of a supergiant Population II star, houses a cluster of Population I stars and dark nebulae. A neighboring spiral galxy is visible in the lower left.

Single exposure. Ingredients: One textured plate glass, one clear plate glass, 10W40 oil, used oil (Bunker C), a little air, one flashlight, one ThinkGeek "Color Shine Flashlight", blue and orange-yellow LEDs, one spray bottle, water, paper towel. Lots of lenscap off, lenscap on.
Using the variable-geometry neutral density filter delivered to the Hullbull Remote Space Telescope last year by the spaceChaser and recent optical upgrades, the HRST resolves a protoplanetary nebula in the galactic neighborhood of Metropolis 1. The IDIOTs (Intergalactic Digital Imaging Optical Technicians) use data from the x-ray and infrared sensors to illustrate the stong magnetic polar jets and atmosphere being shed by the star during this brief stage in end-game stellar evolution.

Two image composite exposure. First image: Waterworld technique to create 'shed atmosphere nebulae'. Second image for large and small background stars, large main star, and polar jets designed and implemented based on Waterworld image geometry - ingredients: One clear plate glass, red, blue, orange, and yellow LEDs, one spray bottle, water, one plasma globe, one boiling pot of water, one paper towel tube, one 40mm VOA jar, tequila shot glass, cross-screen filter. Some lenscap on, lenscap off.

Laboratory 5
1913-1915 the RFC established an airfield and experimental site for weapons and aircraft testing
1918-1924 the site was largely dormant.
1924-1939 Used by the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment (A&AEE) mainly for bomb and machine gun testing.
1935 Radar Research led by Robert Watson Watt.
1939-1945 Secret testing of radar, weapons and electronic warfare.
1953-1971 Atomic Weapons Research Establishment (AWRE) Testing of nuclear weapon components. Included construction of the pagoda blast buildings.
1971 the military withdrew.
1993 National Trust acquired the land to be nature reserve and historic site.

Another cross-eye free view. A little more detailed effort, still plenty of room for more depth displacement of dense starfield. Not a real space photo; long exposure light art.
The Rodman guns were what were known as columbiads and are pictured above in Fort McHenry's Outer Battery. Columbiads were large-calibre, smoothbore, muzzle-loading cannon able to fire heavy projectiles at both high and low trajectories. This feature enabled the columbiad to fire solid shot or shell to long ranges, making it an excellent coastal defence weapon for its day. Invented by Colonel George Bomford, US Army, in 1811, columbiads were used in US coastal defence from the War of 1812 until the early years of the 20th century. Very few columbiads were used outside of the US and Confederate Armies.
Designed by Frenchman Jean Foncin in 1798 and named after James McHenry, a Scots-Irish immigrant and surgeon-soldier who became Secretary of War under President Washington, Fort McHenry was built after America won its independence to defend the important Port of Baltimore from future enemy attacks. It was positioned on Locust Point peninsula which juts into the opening of Baltimore Harbor, and was constructed in the form of a five-pointed star surrounded by a dry moat. The moat would serve as a shelter from which musketmen might defend the fort from a land attack. In case of such an attack on this first line of defence, each point, or bastion, was fortified, so that the invading army would be caught in a crossfire of cannon and musket fire.
Of course, the fort is best known for its role in the War of 1812, when it successfully defended Baltimore Harbor from a half-hearted attack by the Royal Navy on 13-14 September 1814. It was during the bombardment of the fort that Francis Scott Key was inspired to write "The Star-Spangled Banner," the poem that would eventually be set to the tune of "To Anacreon in Heaven" and become the national anthem of the United States.
On 11 August 1939, the fort was designated a "National Monument and Historic Shrine," the only such doubly designated place in the United States. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on 15 October 1966.

I've pretty slavishly followed Joel Robison's tutorial to make this, and because time is tight today (it's his 8th birthday party today) I've rushed pretty much every stage, so this is experimental in more ways than one. I know how I want to use this idea next and I'll spend more time getting it right next time, but this is ok for a first go I think. HSS!

Quando a ausência de luz chega ao meu ser, penso se realmente estou só e se isso irá me levar ainda mais a obscuridade.
O desvaneio chega a me deixar ainda mais sem luz, sem brilho, sem saída... Mas, o que ainda me conforta é que uma hora irá amanhecer, com a luz a inspiração de estar vivo retornará.

The great and all-reaching compassion of Quan Yin is said to be boundless and ever present. This image of her manifesting into the world elicited a line from Fat Mattress' "She Came in the Morning" for the title.
