As you can see throughout the universe inter connecting galactic highways roam free. Also along your journey you may encounter interstellar nebula gasses spewing throughout space and time !
This Atlantic Sea Nettle at Baltimore's National Aquarium appears to float among the stars due to the lighting and the food particles in the tank.
The Atlantic sea nettle (Chrysaora quinquecirrha), also known as the East Coast sea nettle or US Atlantic sea nettle, is a species of jellyfish that inhabits the Atlantic coast of the United States
The brightest area of the Milky Way is just rising above the horizon as Scorpius gains altitude.
Several nebulas and clusters are visible in this bright part of our galaxy.
Single shot, tracked.

Lying on a sunlounger while taking in the enormity of our galaxy and beyond. According to the App on my phone the view is of galactic central point.
In 1984 the LEGOLAND book 'Trapped in Space' by Douglas Hill was published. It featured this SHIP The Galactic Spearhead. I thought it deserved to be online.
This is a 360 degree pano taken from atop of Castle Rock at Castlepoint in the Wairarapa, New Zealand. I made the climb under darkness, which made it somewhat more challenging than normal. Castle Rock stands at a height of 162m above sea level, and the Castlepoint lighthouse is perched 62m above sea level at the opposite end of the beach below.
The galactic core of the Milky Way was rising to the east over the ocean, and the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds can be seen to the left of it. The Zodiacal Light is seen to the bottom right of the sky dome. The image consists of 32 images all shot at 24mm on a Gigapan Epic Pro.

Here is a 45 image panoramic composite I made at the iconic painted hills overlook at night. Hope you all enjoy and thanks for any constructive comments.
Camera: 5D Mark II
Lens: Sigma Art 20mm f1.4 @ 1.4
The Milky Way galaxy core shines brightly above a picnic table in the Salton Sea on a very calm summer night.
Such a romantic spot for dining - complete with candles.
This is an art installation by "Sssippi" here at Bombay Beach. He's one of the artists responsible for the iconic swing that's also in the water nearby.
I shot this tonight - July 3, 2024 - with a Canon EOS R and Sigma 24mm Art lens at 5 sec f/1.8 ISO 4000. Single exposure. I carefully set my tripod and camera rig up in about 15" of water in order to get this shot.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a monster in the making in this observation of the exceptional galaxy cluster eMACS J1353.7+4329, which lies about eight billion light-years from Earth in the constellation Canes Venatici. This disturbed collection of at least two galaxy clusters is in the process of merging together to create a cosmic monster, a single gargantuan cluster acting as a gravitational lens.
Gravitational lensing is a dramatic example of Einstein’s general theory of relativity in action. A celestial body such as a galaxy cluster is sufficiently massive to distort spacetime, which causes the path of light around the object to be visibly bent as if by a vast lens. Gravitational lensing can also magnify distant objects, allowing astronomers to observe objects that would otherwise be too faint and too far away to be detected. It can also distort the images of background galaxies, turning them into streaks of light. The first hints of gravitational lensing are already visible in this image as bright arcs which mingle with the throng of galaxies in eMACS J1353.7+4329.
The data in this image are drawn from an observing proposal called Monsters in the Making, which used two of Hubble’s instruments to observe five exceptional galaxy clusters at multiple wavelengths. These multi-wavelength observations were made possible by Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys. The astronomers behind these observations hope to lay the groundwork for future studies of vast gravitational lenses with next-generation telescopes such as the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope.
[Image Description: A cluster of elliptical galaxies, visible as a dense crowd of oval shapes, each glowing orange around a bright core. Right of the largest, central galaxy, a background galaxy is stretched into two connected, thin arcs by the cluster’s gravity. Various other galaxies are dotted all around, a few being small spirals. A bright star with four long spikes stands out at the right.]

Perfectly clear conditions and a night out photographing on the south coast of Wellington, New Zealand. The Milky Way was rising to the east, and waves were flowing throughout the tidal pools during my long exposures, producing a soft misty feel that looked rather like ground fog.

Galactic Cave
This shot has been in the planning for about 2 years or so, and I finally had a chance to try it a few days ago. A lot of things needed to come together for this to work. It had to be early in the year (at the start of "Milky Way season") in order to even see the Milky Way from inside the cave, and I needed clear skies during the new moon when the tide was low enough to get in and out of the cave and still have enough time to try various angles and take all the shots I would need. All those things came together except for some clouds that obscured the lower part of the Galactic Center of the Milky Way, and it was bitterly cold and very windy, although it was calm inside the cave. I think the ambient temp was somewhere between 0F - 5F. I had to snowshoe down the hillside through the woods to the shore, then put on Microspikes to cross the ice covered rocks and carefully make my way over to and inside the cave. All in the dark, but with a headlamp of course.
Note that I won't be saying exactly where this cave is located. It's not exactly a secret, but it has been removed from guide books for good reason, it's a fairly dangerous place and you could be swimming your way out if you're not careful, and it houses a fragile environment in its tidepools. All the signs for the cave, and the railing that lead to the entrance, were removed many years ago to protect those inexperienced from getting injured or stranded.
You'll notice that there's a lot of color in the sky, there's orange light from light pollution from towns up the coast, there's some green from airglow, and the reddish color might also be airglow.
Nikon D800E with Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens @ 17mm. Like most of my night photos, this is a blend of multiple exposures to get the scene in focus and exposed from the foreground to the stars. Technically 13 exposures were used to create this final image. 10 exposures of 10 seconds each at ISO 6400 were used for star stacking of the sky. Those exposures were blended using Starry Landscape Stacker for Mac. Then 3 other exposures were used for the foreground at ISO 1600 and at different focus distances, f-stops, and exposures lengths.

Galactic Centre
Even if we could travel by the speed of light, it would take us over 25,000 years to reach the center of our galaxy.
In the middle is the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, whose mass is 4 milions times greater than the mass of our Sun. All objects in our galaxy, including Earth, orbit it. It is located in the constellation Sagittarius, which is best observable from our latitudes in the coming months. Unfortunately, due to high levels of light pollution, we have to travel to lower latitudes for better conditions.

Canon 6Dmod + Sigma 50mm, f1.4@f2.8, ISO 3200, 20x1min.
This is the 3rd image I processed from HST data this past weekend. Here's M104, also known as the Sombrero Galaxy. Despite being too tiny for my telescopes, this is one of my favorite galaxies. Can you blame me? The nearly edge-on angle of this, otherwise rather flat galaxy really gives a perspective that is really unique.
Definitely better at full screen, and hopefully FB won't mess up with the image too much. Hope you like it!
The small island of Bonaire in the southern Carribean has a wonderful lack of light pollution which makes it ideal for Milky Way photography.
This location is on the southern point of the island where slaves once harvested sea salt under brutal conditions. The obelisk was a marker for the ships that would anchor to pick up the salt and the tiny concrete huts in the background were for the slaves and their families.
It is a peaceful spot now, you will probably won't see another soul there at night, but sometimes I wonder if the ghosts of the past are next to me taking in the magnificent view of the Milky Way.

Wish I had more time to prepare for this shot. Rainy and overcast all week long had us longing for any kind of action. Finally we get a great sunset just for it to close up again. After cooking dinner around the campfire, we were blessed with a 30 minute window where we could see the Milky Way. It was a new moon so absolutely pitch black outside so setting up wasn't very strategic. I was lucky enough to capture the reflection coming from a thin sheet of water over the sand.
"Pathways and Starlight" Six months after having shot this location in the Falmouth area I returned to capture the Milky Way on a moonless night as it makes its journey across western skies; aligning just right before its season of brilliance comes to a close for the year. Not long after I arrived, I encountered a group of visitors returning from the path's end. I didn't expect to encounter anyone on this particular night in November. I showed them a few of my test shots, took a picture of them with this as their backdrop and then worked on my composition.
Here is possibly my last Galactic Conquest scene, I won last round on Coruscant so I got to choose Naboo which i did so so that I could try some new techniques and try something that I normally wouldn't build.
I'm fairly pleased with the outcome of the scene, sadly there are a few things that bug me, like the fact that I ran out of sand orange which I would have liked to do both of the buildings with, however that wasn't possible. I've been pretty busy with school so I ended up leaving this to the last minute and building most of it last night which meant that i rushed it in some parts, however I'm still happy with how it turned out.
If this is the last round of the contest I'd just l like to thank TRLegosfan for hosting a great contest. There have been some great builds and scenes and I congratulate everyone who has participated and with you the best of luck. This contest has pushed me to try new things that I normally wouldn't even attempt which is great, and I think that in the past 2 and a half months I have developed as a scene builder even more.
-Thanks Tristan

The beauty of the night sky outside of urban environments never fails to impress me
This sequence compresses 238, 30 second exposures taken over a 4 hour period, into a 39 second display.
This is a frame from my Urban Nightscapes Texas video (vimeo.com/sgarciarill/texasnightscapes) where I merged the night sky and the city to give a glipse of what we're missing because of light pollution inside the city.
This is the Galleria in uptown Houston and it's the largest mall in Texas.
NGC 3175 is located around 50 million light-years away in the constellation of Antlia (The Air Pump). The galaxy can be seen slicing across the frame in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, with its mix of bright patches of glowing gas, dark lanes of dust, bright core, and whirling, pinwheeling arms coming together to paint a beautiful celestial scene.
The galaxy is the eponymous member of the NGC 3175 group, which has been called a nearby analogue for the Local Group. The Local Group contains our very own home galaxy, the Milky Way, and around 50 others — a mix of spiral, irregular, and dwarf galaxies. The NGC 3175 group contains a couple of large spiral galaxies — the subject of this image, and NGC 3137 — and numerous lower-mass spiral and satellite galaxies. Galaxy groups are some of the most common galactic gatherings in the cosmos, and they comprise 50 or so galaxies all bound together by gravity.
This image comprises observations from Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3.

Here's a shot of the figure with a LEGO hairpiece that I think looks good on it ;)
People have been asking to see it with this, so I thought I'd post it. It also gives a better picture of the full design in the front, as well?
I know there's a lot of good photographers (Legographers) out there! I'd love to see these two new figs in a few setups! If you do take pics PLEASE tag me in the photo, as I'd love to see them!
Again, if you are interested in this fig, or the Galactic Trainee, they are both available now from one of my resellers. Find them at the link in the comments.
