Faça uma Galaxy Nails ou mani com estrelas ( como um céu estrelado).
Esta era a etapa que eu mais temia háhaha
Nunca fiz este tipo de mani e achei que ia ficar a verdadeira marmota mas até que eu achei bonito!
Aproveitei que estava com o Touro da Hits que é escuro como base, aí já facilitaria minha vida rs
Por isso tb o esmalte está longe da cutícula shame
Os pontinhos brancos eu catei aleatoreamente uns glitters porque qualquer coisa que fosse tentar fazer à mão livre seria um fracasso rs
finalizei com tc Impala.
Os esmaltes que usei estão na foto dos comentários.
Quanto a música: Não curto essas bandas de música deprê, mas essa música em si eu até gosto, acho a melodia legal e é animadinha.
The graceful, winding arms of the majestic spiral galaxy M51 (NGC 5194) appear like a grand spiral staircase sweeping through space. They are actually long lanes of stars and gas laced with dust. This sharpest-ever image, taken in January 2005 with the Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, illustrates a spiral galaxy's grand design, from its curving spiral arms, where young stars reside, to its yellowish central core, a home of older stars. The galaxy is nicknamed the Whirlpool because of its swirling structure. The Whirlpool's most striking feature is its two curving arms, a hallmark of so-called grand-design spiral galaxies. Many spiral galaxies possess numerous, loosely shaped arms that make their spiral structure less pronounced. These arms serve an important purpose in spiral galaxies. They are star-formation factories, compressing hydrogen gas and creating clusters of new stars. In the Whirlpool, the assembly line begins with the dark clouds of gas on the inner edge, then moves to bright pink star-forming regions, and ends with the brilliant blue star clusters along the outer edge. Some astronomers believe that the Whirlpool's arms are so prominent because of the effects of a close encounter with NGC 5195, the small, yellowish galaxy at the outermost tip of one of the Whirlpool's arms. At first glance, the compact galaxy appears to be tugging on the arm. Hubble's clear view, however, shows that NGC 5195 is passing behind the Whirlpool. The small galaxy has been gliding past the Whirlpool for hundreds of millions of years. As NGC 5195 drifts by, its gravitational muscle pumps up waves within the Whirlpool's pancake-shaped disk. The waves are like ripples in a pond generated when a rock is thrown in the water. When the waves pass through orbiting gas clouds within the disk, they squeeze the gaseous material along each arm's inner edge. The dark dusty material looks like gathering storm clouds. These dense clouds collapse, creating a wake of star birth, as seen in the bright pink star-forming regions. The largest stars eventually sweep away the dusty cocoons with a torrent of radiation, hurricane-like stellar winds, and shock waves from supernova blasts. Bright blue star clusters emerge from the mayhem, illuminating the Whirlpool's arms like city streetlights. The Whirlpool is one of astronomy's galactic darlings. Located approximately 25 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici (the Hunting Dogs), the Whirlpool's beautiful face-on view and closeness to Earth allow astronomers to study a classic spiral galaxy's structure and star-forming processes.
I placed the lens really close to the reflective fabric in my shorts to throw it out of focus and fired the flash.

Spiral galaxy IC 342, also known as Caldwell 5, is located approximately 11 million light-years from Earth. This sparkling, face-on view of the center of the galaxy displays intertwined tendrils of dust in spectacular arms that wrap around a brilliant core of hot gas and stars. This core is a specific type of region called an H II nucleus — an area of atomic hydrogen that has become ionized. Such regions are energetic birthplaces of stars where thousands of stars can form over a couple million years. Each young, extremely hot, blue star emits ultraviolet light, further ionizing the surrounding hydrogen.
Despite its relatively bright 8.4 magnitude, this galaxy doesn’t stand out in the sky. It appears near the equator of the Milky Way’s pearly disk, which is crowded with thick cosmic gas, dark dust, and glowing stars that all obscure our view. This has earned Caldwell 5 the nickname of the Hidden Galaxy.
Were it not obscured by so much interstellar matter, the Hidden Galaxy would be one of the brightest galaxies in our sky. A relatively close galaxy, it is roughly 50,000 light-years across and billions of years old.

Located in the constellation of Virgo (The Virgin), around 50 million light-years from Earth, the galaxy NGC 4535 is truly a stunning sight to behold. Despite the incredible quality of this image, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, NGC 4535 has a hazy, somewhat ghostly, appearance when viewed from a smaller telescope. This led amateur astronomer Leland S. Copeland to nickname NGC 4535 the “Lost Galaxy” in the 1950s.
The bright colors in this image aren’t just beautiful to look at, as they actually tell us about the population of stars within this barred spiral galaxy. The bright blue-ish colors, seen nestled amongst NGC 4535’s long, spiral arms, indicate the presence of a greater number of younger and hotter stars. In contrast, the yellower tones of this galaxy’s bulge suggest that this central area is home to stars which are older and cooler.
This galaxy was studied as part of the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) survey, which aims to clarify many of the links between cold gas clouds, star formation, and the overall shape and other properties of galaxies.

The Pinwheel Galaxy (M101) is a face-on spiral galaxy 25 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major. The giant spiral disk of stars, dust and gas is 170,000 light-years across — nearly twice the diameter of our galaxy, the Milky Way. M101 is estimated to contain at least one trillion stars. The galaxy’s spiral arms are sprinkled with large regions of star-forming nebulas. These nebulas are areas of intense star formation within giant molecular hydrogen clouds. Brilliant, young clusters of hot, blue, newborn stars trace out the spiral arms.

The narrow galaxy elegantly curving around its spherical companion in this image is a fantastic example of a truly strange and very rare phenomenon called an Einstein Ring. This image, taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, depicts GAL-CLUS-022058s, located in the southern hemisphere constellation of Fornax (The Furnace). GAL-CLUS-022058s is the largest and one of the most complete Einstein Rings ever discovered in our universe.
First theorized to exist by Einstein in his general theory of relativity, this object’s unusual shape can be explained by a process called gravitational lensing, which causes light shining from far away to be bent and pulled by the gravity of an object between its source and the observer.
In this case, the light from the background galaxy has been distorted into the curve we see by the gravity of the galaxy cluster sitting in front of it. The near exact alignment of the background galaxy with the central elliptical galaxy of the cluster, seen in the middle of this image, has warped and magnified the image of the background galaxy around itself into an almost perfect ring. The gravity from other galaxies in the cluster is soon to cause additional distortions. Objects like these are the ideal laboratory in which to research galaxies too faint and distant to otherwise see.

This 2011 image of NGC 4151 shows a close-up of the central region of the galaxy. The dimensions of the close-up are only 2,000 light years across. Here, the data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory are shown in blue, and we add in radio data from the VLA (purple) and HST data (yellow) showing oxygen emission. The linear structures show clear evidence for an earlier outburst from a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy.

A member of our own local group of galaxies, it is the 2nd closest major spiral galaxy to ourselves and the 3rd largest in our local group behind Andromeda and the Milky Way. It maybe gravitationally bound to Andromeda although the 2 galaxies do not seem in orbit. Eventually the 3 local galaxies could collide with the most likely outcome being the Triangulum orbiting as an outer galaxy to the merged Milky Way and Andromeda galaxy before merging properly much further down the line.
There are several star forming areas of Hydrogen within the galaxy including the core. Unlike the Milky Way and Andromeda there is not thought to be black hole at the centre although this is uncertain.
Under perfect skies with no light pollution, it can be made out with the naked eye.

Total Integration = 8 hours 4 minutes. Uneven in terms of colour integration time but had some initial issues with blue that needed ironing out with more integration. I will add Ha in the future and perhaps more green. Red is the best of all 3 so unlikely to add to this.

Processing Software: Stacked and post processed in PixsInsight with minor adjustments in Photoshop Lightroom 4 at the end.
Moon: Purposefully chose moonless nights.
Light Pollution and Location: - Bortle 7/8 in Davyhulme, Manchester. Different websites tell me different things about this. It all depends on the time of night and which way I am pointing.
Weather: - The November nights were clear with low pressure. The second of which was very wet from all the dew which I think caused problems with my blue subs. The night in December was after a Storm, I had to wait for the wind to calm before getting any subs, it was so dry as the dew couldn’t settle in the wind.
Notes: The main thing with this project is its my first full go at PixsInsight coupled with my first real go using RGB filters on my mono camera. It has been a big learning curve and I have spent more time processing it as I have integration. I have used YouTube videos, the book ‘Inside PixsInsight’ and had help from fellow astrophotographers to help with workflows, encouraging me to use StarNet and just seeing the ‘art of the possible’.
Trying to get rid of the light pollution traces has been an extremely difficult job for me and hope that I have not overcorrected it. I want to re-do this target in the future in a much less light polluted area.
I have ordered some neutral density filter paper for my flat panel as it’s just too bright. The subs are 0.01s long which is apparently far too short.
Went about 200kms outside riyadh city to capture the Galaxy. Was not disappointed at the views that we got. It was hot in the desert in july night.

ABOUT:
A comparison between the legendary Galaxy Explorer and the Galaxy Dropship. The Dropships cargo area is bigger and may hold the space buggy from the other alternate build of this set proposal. But it also may carry other vehicles (from its own build scenario) like the science lab pictured here or the truck or the trailer with or without tanks...
Take a look at the 3 updates I have made at LegoIdeas for more info. Thx.
This 2010 image shows the eruption of a galactic "super-volcano" in the massive galaxy M87, as witnessed by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. At a distance of about 50 million light years, M87 is relatively close to Earth and lies at the center of the Virgo cluster, which contains thousands of galaxies. The cluster surrounding M87 is filled with hot gas glowing in X-ray light that is detected by Chandra. As this gas cools, it can fall toward the galaxy's center where it should continue to cool even faster and form new stars.
