My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
Ahead of me is a great darkness. It's like an endless darkness that I can't get out of, this huge space. Many years ago I immersed myself in an obscurity in this dark deep space. This trip was an escape from the memories in my mind for me. I was running away from those beautiful memories that caused me terrible pain. This space trip had turned into a journey for me in search of peace. I found the peace I was looking for in deep space. It was my solitude on the planets I discovered and visited that gave me peace. The fact that there were no people around me was starting to give me peace. I found myself in abysmal peace in this deep space. It was an unending peace that I lived. At least that's what I thought at first. The memories of my life in the world had been erased from my mind. I was completely disconnected from the world. This made me even more peaceful and happy. However, lately, the fact that my mind reminds me of my memories has started to cause some insurmountable problems for me. Why did my mind do this to me? Why did my mind remind me of my memories when I was so far from the world, that is, my home? Why was I doing this to myself? Should I go back to my home, planet Earth? Should I return to the Earth I left in order to escape the emotional pain my memories inflicted on me? Wouldn't that give me the same emotional pain again? I've been going through the same emotional pain lately, even though I've been so far from the world. Maybe I should go home. And I must start a new life.

Wow Explore #1 Thank you !!!
I captured this in the park near where I work last week, it really does look like another planet ! Thanks for all of your comments yesterday, it's good to be back !!!
Actually shot with a 50mm f1.2 at f1.8 using two extension tubes and a tripod. Not easy when you are in the middle of a muddy flower bed in a public park. ;-)
Happy Bokeh Wednesday everyone.

Seven Earth Years Ago
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
It was seven earth years ago. Just before I took this photo, I had done my scientific analysis of that day on that planet and chose this place to rest. I was enjoying the moment with my feet stretched out against the rising blue planet landscape before me. At that time, I did not think of my past, as I do now, and I did not question my future. Therefore, all my movements were in accordance with my space travel plan and proceeding smoothly. There were no questions in my mind that I couldn't answer. I was in pretty good shape mentally as well as physically. I was just enjoying the moment. After a long time, my past started to come alive and occupy my mind again. I started to feel emotional and lonely after a long time. This feeling of loneliness began to take over me more and more. I couldn't think straight. I started dreaming to overcome my loneliness. It has become an indispensable condition for me to dream and spend time in the dream world I have created. It's almost as if I have become addicted to my dream world that I have created. Although this situation was good for my mental health at first, as time progressed, I started to spend more time in my dream world. I was spending enough time in my dream world to interfere with my scientific studies on planets. After a while, I started to question my space travel that I had taken off. What was I doing alone in this dark deep space? Why was I chosen for this task? Why was I sent on this mission alone? While all people continued their routine lives on planet Earth, I was almost abandoned to this dark space. All the people were going about their normal lives. I was not there. As if I never existed. It's like I've never lived on Earth. So, all those memories I remember? Was it all fiction? Didn't I ever exist? I started asking myself more and more difficult questions. Maybe I should try to communicate with planet Earth? I was only sending the planetary discoveries I had made, the scientific analyzes I made on the planets, and the scientific data about my physical health to the world. Maybe my contact person could help me answer my questions. Perhaps, in the face of this confusion, I will lose faith in my successful fulfillment of my space mission, and it will push me into complete solitude in the vacuum of space, and I will never be able to return to planet Earth. Should I try to communicate?
Is there anyone there?

The Influence of the Stars
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
I have always felt happy while watching the stars. When I was in the world, every night when the weather conditions were suitable, I would raise my head to the sky and watch those unique star views. I would praise the stars and express my admiration for the stars. Just like I do every time I meet my girlfriend. Every time I met my girlfriend, I would spend hours without taking my eyes off her. I used to talk to my girlfriend and walk on the streets looking at her.
My girlfriend and the stars had unique beauties that I could watch forever without taking my eyes off. Some nights with my girlfriend, we would watch the stars in the sky. I would show her the stars I know and tell her their names in her ear, she. I used to hold her hand and draw the constellations in front of us in the sky with her finger, imaginatively. The warmth and soft texture of his hand is still in my mind. Every time I remember this, I find myself staring at my right hand. I really miss her.
Experiencing endless memories under starscapes that will last forever, and not realizing it, can push people into endless emotional breakdowns. To overcome this, I began to turn everything that came to an end into a star in the sky. I was turning my lost memories and loved ones into a star in the sky. So that my memories and loved ones could live on forever. I could see my loved ones turning into stars every night. But I could neither speak nor touch them. This was starting to cause me more emotional pain. I was starting to feel abandoned. My emotional breakdown was increasing day by day. I wanted to get away from the world. That's why I joined this space program. I think I saw this space travel as my release from my memories. For a while it had been. It was as if I had left everything in the world. However, I did not leave anything in the world. All my memories were traveling with me in this endless space in my mind. I was left alone with my memories in deep space.
Being among the star landscapes I once watched creates an indescribable feeling in one's mind. My excitement in the world is no longer in me. But now I have a new excitement. I cannot describe to you the excitement that the possibility of returning to planet Earth has created in me. The possibility of starting all over again excites me. My heart rate has increased in my routine health screenings. This is the result of my possibility of coming back to life. The possibility of falling in love again has never left my mind. I haven't been able to decide yet. Would I return to earth? Would I start all over again? I still need time to answer these questions. I'm very curious how it will end.

Another Farewell
Interplanetary Travel
It's time to part. My last day on the snow planet. I have completed my research on the rather cold and quiet planet. I couldn't find any trace of plutonians on this planet. However, it was a different experience for me. It was impossible not to be enchanted by the silence of the planet. However, the fact that it consisted of cold and high mountains made this planet far from being a livable planet. Maybe millions of years ago, there were civilizations that lived on it. But now I could not find any traces of civilization. I have completed my preparations for the planet I will visit next. I will start my space travel soon. As you read this note, I will be floating in outer space on my new course. I placed the rock, dust, water and plant samples I collected from this planet next to the samples I collected from other planets. And again, I left a memory of myself behind. I do this on all the planets I visit. A photo of myself and a sample of my hair. I don't know if anyone will find the box I left. But I will continue to do this anyway. Maybe there is someone looking for me, just as I am looking for the Plutonians. Maybe the reason I do this is because I'm alone.
Thank you for accompanying me on this adventure. We will be together again in the exploration of a new planet. I'm pretty excited for the next planet. I have been observing the next planet I will visit for some time now. The most important finding that excites me is that that planet has an atmosphere that is very suitable for life. And unusual mountains. I can't wait to set foot on that planet and explore. I hope I reach that planet without any problems. See you in new discoveries and new adventures.
Keep following me.

Little Bright Blue Stars
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
As the two suns illuminating the planet set behind the mountains, bright blue stars began to illuminate the sky. They looked like little blue light bulbs. They were like those little blue light bulbs that light up the scene on a wedding night. I really felt like I was at a country wedding while watching the sparkles of the stars. But I was the only guest at this wedding. There was no one around me to dance with. There was neither a groom nor a bride in this country wedding, illuminated by the stars in the sky. There was only me. Maybe this was the wedding of my eternal solitude. That night, under the stars, the whole universe witnessed this agreement that would last forever with my loneliness. It was a night when I blessed my loneliness. Thanks to this wedding, my loneliness would not bother me for many years and I would be able to continue my journey in space without any problems. It was as I thought. For many years, I never thought of my loneliness. I was very healthy mentally. Until the end of these long years. For the past year, all I've been thinking about was no longer the lost civilization of Plutonia. There was one more profound thing occupying my mind. My loneliness. I couldn't help but think about this situation. Maybe I should have made myself a new wedding of solitude. I should have remarried my loneliness. It is very difficult to make a decision in this huge vacuum of space. I want to get to the ending without hurting myself any further. I don't know yet what this ending will be. All I want is an end.

My Escape Into Loneliness
Planet Dokeia
Interplanetary Travel
My Escape Into Loneliness
Sometimes I want to close my eyes tight in this vast and endless world. I want to close my eyes to never open them again. I want to spend the rest of my life in my fantasy world that I have constructed and created. Forever. An endless peace covers my body in this other world. Sometimes I feel numb in my dream world. Sometimes I get overly emotional. The only thing that is not missing is the unique state of peace that takes over my body. And I can only feel it in my imagination. That's why I don't want to go back to reality. Maybe there are other reasons. And maybe all I want is to escape from the truth.

Planet Dokeia
Interplanetary Travel
Could the progress of time be unstoppable? Could the perception of time be changed? Is it possible to go out of time? There was no time in the vacuum of space. But there was an advancing time period for me on planet Earth. It was a progression that brought me closer to the end. As we approached our end, our experiences turned into memories. Our friends and all our relatives started to disappear one by one in this notion of time. The cities we lived in began to change and the faces we knew began to become alienated. The concept of loneliness had taken over us more and more as time progressed. What, then, did the concept of what we call time mean? Change? lost? Loneliness? Which was the word that would describe time better.

Lost in Thoughts
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
My memories of the world still remain in my memory. Every time I close my eyes, I think more and more of the past. It's like I live in two worlds. While I was awake, spending time on the planets I had just discovered in the infinite space, when I closed my eyes, I found myself in my dream world. My dream world was now my second living space. In this way, I had two different lives between two worlds. I needed both lives. The two worlds I lived in were quite different from each other. In the face of this situation, after a long time, I started to feel like I was stuck between two worlds. I was starting to feel like I had to make a choice. It was a choice I had to make between two worlds. Would I live in the real world for the rest of my life? Or would I continue to live in my dream world that I had been fantasizing about? This question started to bother me a lot. I found myself in a deep void. There was no one around to help me. I was alone in this huge vacuum of space. I thought a lot to find the answer to my question. I thought about the past and the future. But this didn't help me much. Thinking about the past and the future made me ask myself more questions. Unanswered questions abounded. A huge pile of questions arose in my mind. Lots of questions to be answered. I still don't know why I did this to myself. Maybe I should just let time pass. As long as life goes on, one gets somewhere. However, there was one more problem. Time was a meaningless concept in space and imagination. It was the very concept of time that put me in this mental state that I had a hard time getting out of. However, time was something that didn't exist. I almost brought myself to the brink of extinction for something that didn't exist. How could I overcome something that didn't exist? How could I find myself again in all this mess? How could I reach the end of this deep journey that I set out to find myself? Questions, questions, questions... Questions that I couldn't answer, and that my mind insisted upon.
And today, I opened my eyes to a new day where I will look for answers to the questions my mind asks me. And again, we will see if I leave behind another day when I cannot answer all these questions.

You Invade My Dreams
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
One of the stars in the sky caught my eye. This star, which is brighter and flashing compared to other stars, attracted my attention more than other stars. I couldn't take my eyes off that bright star. It was as if a bond had formed between me and the star. I started to dream. They were dreams about that bright star. Who knows how many light years away he was from me! I imagined a space traveler who looked at the sky from that star and dreamed like me and was as lonely as me. Just like me, he was alone in this huge vacuum of space. And she/he was searching for himself, just like me, in this eternity. Who knows, maybe that space traveler is luckier than me and is not alone. Maybe I'm the only lonely person in this universe.
Maybe I should stop daydreaming.

Alone on the Planet
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
I woke up to a new day on this planet that I first visited. On this new day, a new and fascinating sight greeted me. I remember that morning. There was a tremendous silence. The planet was so quiet I could hear my heartbeat. I was beginning to think that I must be the only living creature on this planet. I would see that in time. There was no sign of life on this planet, which had very favorable conditions for life. Apart from plant species, I was the only living species. My goal in this trip was to reach civilizations living on different planets. However, this aim had me quite worried. My journey into the unknown had turned into anxiety at first. Over time, this worry would turn into a feeling of wonder and longing. I was just at the very beginning of my interplanetary journey. And, on this first planet I landed on, it was perfectly normal for me to experience the anxiety of the unknown. All that anxiety was already gone in the face of the celestial landscapes I encountered. Anxiety was replaced by a deep sense of peace.

Near the End
Interplanetary Travel
I am nearing the end of my exploration of another planet. I am about to complete my preparations to embark on a new space travel. Very soon I will leave this mysterious planet. I will continue to follow the signal I received while on planet BŮ. The signal comes from a planet I've visited and spent quite some time on. Something must have happened on that planet that I missed. The signal is pretty strong. And I keep getting the signal. This gets me pretty excited. I believe this signal will lead me to the Plutonians. I'm looking for the long lost civilization of plutonia. I found quite a few remains of the Plutonian civilization. But I couldn't find anything about the plutonian people. As I was traveling towards the planet from which I received the signal, I realized this mysterious planet. This planet, which is not seen on my space chart and radar, caused a very different experience for me. Different day and night belts, multiple suns, nocturnal stardust storms, and a blue river where stardust rains down. I had never witnessed a stardust storm before. This was an experience I will never forget. It was great. It was amazing. I need better words to describe it. Right now, I am trying to reflect this to you while witnessing a giant black hole destroying a star. I imagine the vanishing star before it disintegrates. It must have been a big, huge star. Who knows, maybe this star was the source of life for many planets. While the black hole just swallows it, I watch the stardust left by the star into the vacuum of space. This is the last moments of the star. The last days of a billion-year-old star. As the star is living the last times of her life, I am living my last times on this planet. In a few days, I will complete my final preparations and leave this planet. I will share the data I have obtained about this planet with you in the coming days.

The End of Another Dream
Interplanetary Travel
Every visit comes to an end. The excitement of a new discovery turns into a mild sadness as the end approaches. At the moment of separation, the sadness inside me turns into longing. Every day I spend on the planet comes before my eyes. My memories are fading fast. And, I want to go back to those moments again. But as I said, every visit comes to an end. Just as I have come to the end of my visit to this planet.
Years ago, I dreamed of what I would experience when I embarked on this adventure. Now, I am living beyond the dreams I had years ago. I witnessed many cosmic events that I had not even dreamed of. The stardust storm I experienced on this planet was one of them. I couldn't even imagine this event. This space journey I took to find new civilizations was actually an escape for me. I can also say that this is my journey back to life. Throughout my space travel, I continued to live and, of course, to dream. Dreaming kept me alive. I dreamed as long as I lived. It's been a cycle for me. It's been a survival cycle for me. Dreams were a kind of survival kit for me. And I have come to the end of another dream. In fact, we all came to this end together. You did not leave me alone again. I am grateful to you for this. Now I am traveling towards a new dream. I need some time and seclusion for my next dream. I don't think I will take a long break. However, I won't be with you for a while. Thank you for not leaving me alone on this journey. See you in new adventures and new discoveries, take cares.

Fly Away From This World
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
That day, a spiral galaxy view greeted me with the sunset. I tried to focus on this galaxy to get away from the questions that were forming in my mind. As this spiral galaxy rose in the sky, the questions about my past and myself became stronger in my mind. And, I started asking myself questions. My first question was. When will you return home, Yusuf? I thought long and hard about this question. And I couldn't find an answer for myself. Despite the long years that have passed, I still have not been able to give myself an answer. The question of when I will return home continues to haunt me. Moreover, I ask myself this question more and more often than before. When will I be able to return to my home, that is, to life?

Out of My Life
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
Another sunset. For me, it's just another lost day. Each new day I spent on other planets meant a new day that disappeared from my life. I wasn't even aware of this when I first started space travel. My interest in space and my discovery of new planets made me blind to my life for a long time. I couldn't see my lost life. I had forgotten myself before the enchanting sights of my space adventure. It was as if I had never existed, as if I had never lived. Memories of my past life on earth were almost erased from my mind. It was as if they had never existed. All my memories had vanished. I was immersed in the magic of infinite space. And in the face of this situation, years later, I would start to realize myself and start to question my life in the face of my loneliness. I would ask myself why. Why am I here? Why am I alone? Why don't I return to Earth? Why don't I start all over again? Why am I doing this to myself? Why am I still traveling in the depths of space even though I have found so many habitable planets? Why don't I come back home?

Uncertainty
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
That day, it was as if the clouds had taken over the entire planet. It was as if the earth and sky were completely under the occupation of clouds. I was watching the sunset of two suns illuminating the planet and the rise of the giant rock planet, accompanied by a view of a unique sea of clouds. This is a photo frame from my first years in space. I feel like the excitement I had back then has faded a bit lately. Maybe my sense of longing for the life I live now may have caused this. At that time, I did not experience the confusion of emotions that I am experiencing now. So I didn't have to daydream while enjoying these unique space landscapes. Lately, I can't help but dream. Daydreaming lessens my longing for life on Earth. In this way, I can fulfill my mission in space. The planet I will visit will perhaps be the planet I have served on my last mission. It is perhaps not a coincidence that the first planet I visited is the one I will visit after many years. Perhaps the radio signal I received years after the planet I first visited was an invitation to me. At the end of this space journey, I would like to meet a civilization and complete my mission. In this way, I will be able to return to my home, the Earth. If I return to Earth without fully completing my mission, I may never be able to forgive myself again. This can cause a psychological breakdown that I can't get out of. But I suspect that after my long time in space, the heavy emotional state of loneliness will lead me to an even worse psychological breakdown. That's why I want to find the lost Plutonian civilization or another civilized civilization as soon as possible. Maybe when I find extraterrestrial life, my longing for Earth will vanish in an instant. I do not know. I don't know what kind of civilization I will encounter. I wonder how they will receive me. I hope they don't act aggressively towards me. I would love to encounter the lost Plutonian civilization and learn from them about the dark force that is after them. Maybe it's not the lost civilization plutonians who called me to the planet by radio signal. That dark force that made the Plutonians leave their planet sent that radio signal. Maybe I was heading towards that power that frightens civilizations. Maybe this is a journey that will make me disappear forever in the vacuum of space. Even though I couldn't get these dark questions out of my mind, it didn't cause any fear in me that would hinder my travel. In fact, I had no sense of fear at all. I think as I cleared my feelings, I had completely let go of the fear. This made me move forward on this unknown journey without hesitation. Am I heading for a great discovery or an extinction that will continue forever? I would know the answer to this question when I got to the planet. As I continue in dark space, I dream again. To the dreams that take me to the world...

My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
Another sunset photo that I took on the planet Plutonia. Once again, I had finished a day and was enjoying the sunset. During my time on the planets, the moment I enjoyed most was generally the sunsets. Almost every sunset, I encountered a different sky view. I watched the nearby planets rise into the sky. Sometimes these are giant gas planets, and sometimes I have witnessed giant rock planets sinking behind mountains. On planets with more than one sun, I have watched these suns set one after another. Those were unique moments for me. While the sky was covered with darkness, the glow of stardust began to illuminate the entire universe. These stardust in different colors belonging to the dying stars fascinated me every time. I've witnessed comets traveling through deep space. I found myself complimenting these unique space landscapes every time. They were fantastic sights that deserve the compliment. Sometimes I could even forget to sleep in front of these space landscapes. As much as I could, I tried to show you these unique space landscapes that I encountered during my interplanetary travel. I hope I was successful in this..

A Lost Life
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
I think I'll be 38 in a few days. I stopped following the time zone in the world a long time ago. In the universe I am in, the time zone on earth has no meaning. Well, the concept of time, even when I was in the world, had no meaning for me lately. I found myself in an increasingly meaningless life. I was looking for a way out of this situation. That's why I accepted this space travel. To get away from the world, that is, my life.
Was I wasting the time I couldn't spend on earth in this huge darkness called space? What would I be doing right now if I stayed on Earth? Would I be sitting in a corner at home, waiting for the end to come? Or would I build a new life for myself and start feeling love again? Would I lay my head on the pillow every night by keeping my eyes on the woman I fell in love with and feeling her in my heart? Every morning when I woke up, would I watch my lover in his peaceful and quiet sleep until daybreak? Or would I live in my dream world as I do away from the world? I think this obscurity will one day be the end of me.
This space travel was a process where I lost not only my time but also myself. Maybe the only way I could hold on to life was through this interplanetary space travel. Because I cannot turn back time, I will never find an answer to these unknowns.
I think I need some courage and confidence.

My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
Five world years have passed since I took this photo. During this time, there have been many planets that I have visited that are suitable for life. But I still haven't encountered a civilization. I have only been able to find remnants of civilizations that once lived on these planets. All the planets I had visited that had life on them in the past were almost hastily abandoned. The abandonment of planets was the biggest mystery I've ever encountered in space. And I couldn't solve this mystery. In my long time in space, this has been my biggest curiosity. What happened to these civilizations that once lived on these planets? Why had they abandoned their planet? It must not have been easy for huge civilizations to leave their planets. Or they must have had very advanced technology. Maybe they built giant spaceships. I will only know the answers to these questions when I find lost civilizations. I cannot even imagine how much more time I will spend in space for this. I don't know if I will ever be able to return to planet Earth. I feel lost in deep space. I feel as if all living things in the universe have disappeared and I am the only one left. Sometimes I think of life on planet Earth. While everyone was going on with their lives, spending time with their friends, falling in love, making love, having fun, in short, living their lives, I was missing my own life in this huge vacuum of space. The concept we call time is the biggest obstacle for me to return to the planet Earth. And time is not valid in space. There is eternity here. Endless life, endless distances, endless new discoveries and endless solitude. The concept of the last has always scared people. But believe me, the concept of infinity is even more frightening. Experiencing the endless is certainly not for the human species. And the concept of eternity is about to become an inescapable concept for me.

Not Like Anything Seen Before
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
When I took this photo, I was witnessing how a black hole in the depths of the universe was sucking up the stars around it. Who knows how many billion years they had lived in this huge universe. And I was witnessing their last moments. It was a unique sight for me. However, this meant the end for stars and planets absorbed by the black hole. They no longer had a chance. There was nothing the giant stars could do in the face of this end. I liken black holes to vacuum cleaners whose bag is not full and whose vacuum is quite powerful. The black hole was sucking up everything around it. It was like an obese black hole that could never get enough of it. I found myself shuddering at this unique sight. Being destroyed by an unknown and unseen force scared me. I certainly won't be heading towards a black hole discovered with my spaceship. Maybe I'll pass by a black hole. To do some analysis.
Maybe for an end...

An Impossible Return: A New Beginning
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
I left many things behind when I left planet Earth. My friends, the streets I like to walk, the old florist uncle selling daffodils in his basket, the city where I have lived memories in every street, my favorite mountain bike, my best friend and the most beautiful girl in the world. My love. I had to leave all this behind. It was as if I had never lived. All my memories turned into dreams over time. As soon as I transitioned from the earth's atmosphere to the dark space, I began to purify myself from many of my emotions. I was turning into an emotionless person pretty quickly. That's how I was supposed to be. Otherwise, I could go back to earth to relive all the emotions I longed for. My space journey to find a planet suitable for life could have ended before it could reach its goal. So I had to get rid of all my emotions. First of all, I started to move away from my sense of longing. That way, I would be able to get away from my passion for love, albeit little by little. The thing that I had the most difficulty in leaving planet Earth was the feeling of love. I would never be able to experience true love again. When I was in the world, I had a girlfriend. She was the most beautiful being in the world. I miss her the most. Her hair, her smile, the smell of her skin. I miss her the most. I will never see her again. Every spring, there was an old uncle in the city where I live, selling daffodils in his wooden basket. Every time I left school, I would buy my girlfriend and myself a bunch of daffodils. While she was walking next to me with the most fragrant flower in the world against her nose, while I was smelling my own flower, I would watch the most beautiful girl in the world. I wouldn't turn my eyes away for once. Watching my beloved was the best moment for me. We used to do this every time after school.
I experienced the feeling of love very intensely. That's why I was sure that the first feeling I had to get rid of was love. But it was not easy for me to get rid of the feeling of love. Memories flooded my mind. In particular, during these last days of my deep space travel, memories of my life on earth had brought some feelings back to life. This was pushing me to return to planet earth. But I was so far from planet earth, my home, that it was a near impossible request for me.
I don't know if I will be able to return to planet earth, my home, from the interplanetary deep space voyage that I took off. Returning to Earth meant a new beginning for me. I would have to start everything from scratch. Maybe I was too old for that. I do not know. I've been thinking too much lately. Maybe I should stop thinking and focus on my research. I had so much time in space, but my time for planet earth was running short. This was quite the contradiction. And in the face of this situation, I was the only person who would give me the right mind.

This image shows the MéO (Métrologie Optique) observatory, a Satellite and Lunar Laser Ranging (SLR) dedicated telescope of the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur (France), located at Plateau de Calern.
The telescope has a primary mirror of 1.54m with a focal length of 31m and uses an alt/azimuth mount with a fast motorization of 5 deg/s, allowing the tracking of satellites from low earth up to geostationary orbits and even on interplanetary missions. It is also used to measure the distance to the Moon to a precision of a few millimeters, by bouncing the laser off reflectors which were left behind by the American Apollo missions and on the Soviet Lunokhod1 rover in the 1970ies.

Remains of My Body
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
While trying to reduce the fever surrounding my body, I cannot prevent my body from getting tired. Yes, you can get sick even in outer space. When you're sick away from the world, you're alone. Just like me. I am trying to heal myself. For this, I need to use my energy in a controlled manner. Otherwise, my body's resistance may drop completely. This is not good for me.

The Start of Something New
Planet Dokeia
Interplanetary Travel
And I'm on the verge of saying goodbye again. We have come to the end of another adventure together again. We still haven't found the Plunonians. Unfortunately, I have not encountered any civilization on this planet, which I have visited and named Dokeia, on which I have lived for a while. I was quite surprised that I did not encounter a civilization on this planet suitable for life. Just like the other life-friendly planets I have visited, the planet Dokeia was one of the abandoned habitable planets. Why were these habitable planets abandoned? What was the force that drove the civilizations living on it to leave these planets? These are questions that I still don't know the answers to. I have not encountered any negatives so far. When I find lost civilizations, I think I will have learned the answers to these questions. If I can find them. When I started space travel, while I was looking for a planet suitable for life, the fact that I found dozens of planets suitable for life and that they were all abandoned frightened me. What could be the power that frightened entire civilizations to leave their planets? The prospect of encountering this power in my interplanetary travels frightened me. What could I do alone in the face of the force that pushed huge civilizations to abandon their planets? In order to overcome my fears, I stop asking myself some questions. And I don't pay attention to every detail. Otherwise, my interplanetary journey might come to an end. I don't want to go back to my planet until I complete this mission I've been on.

"Welcome to Avalon, the new frontier!
Hermes Station is a trading outpost set up by the Interplanetary Trading Conglomerate and the last stop before the vast dune valleys of the Pluton Desert. It's teeming with exhausted spaceship pilots, local settlers and wandering traders, each looking for their next bargain."
.
Finally was able to finish up this build. It marks a return of the wandering trader and the accompanying aesthetic from some time ago. The main inspiration was the "Edena" cycle by Jean Giraud "Moebius", other inspirations include: Real world oriental architecture, Star Wars' Tatooine, classic Lego Town, and other bits and pieces that I enjoy.
Play features include: Removable domes on both towers, removable second story on the tall tower, a back wall that can swing open, and a full interior.
I'll be uploading more pictures tomorrow, but you can already view them on my Instagram.

Sunset in Plutonia
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
I was starting to relax and enjoy the moment in front of a magnificent sunset view on the planet Plutonia. I remember feeling very lucky when I took this photo. Actually, I was lucky. I was the first person to be chosen for interplanetary travel on planet Earth. And this made me feel lucky and privileged. I saw the depths of space that no human had ever seen before. I have set foot on planets suitable for life, where no human has ever set foot before. I witnessed unique landscapes of space that no human had ever seen. I became the first human and even the first earth creature to be able to get this far from the earth. I say Earth creature, because a cat sent into space before me was the first creature to travel to the furthest point from Earth and return. I went hundreds of times further than that cat went in space. And that made me unique. The cat that was sent into space was able to return to earth. The space cat must still be living on earth. Definitely a lucky cat. To be selected for a space mission among thousands of cats and to be able to successfully complete this mission and return to planet earth. I didn't know whether it was a luckier situation to be selected for a space mission or to be able to return to Earth. I guess it's not a very lucky situation unless you can go back to the world.
I still have an infinite distance to go. I'm tired and weary. My excitement is more than less than my initial excitement. My thoughts are quite different from when I first embarked on this space journey. At first, my thoughts were busy with the exploration of new planets that I was going to do, while my current thoughts are purely about myself. I keep asking myself. I keep arguing with myself about the thought of returning to Earth. I still don't know what to decide.

Story:
The Milky Way crosses the sky of Piedras Rojas while the Zodiacal Light and Air Glow complement the night sky spectacle of the Atacama Desert in Chile.
Situated in the Atacama Desert, the Piedras Rojas is specifically located near the Argentinian border, approximately 150 kilometers southeast of the town of San Pedro de Atacama. As the name suggests, the most prominent feature of this area is the reddish rocks and formations. Adjacent to the red rock formations are a few altiplanic lagoons. The high salt concentration of these lagoons gives the water a reflective quality, providing visitors with breathtaking views of the surrounding.
Dominating the upper third of the frame is the dense, cloudy stretch of the Milky Way. This band, filled with millions of stars, clusters, and interstellar dust, offers a rich tonal gradient, transitioning from a brighter core to fainter edges. The central bulge, with a higher concentration of stars, appears more pronounced and is the visual anchor of the Milky Way in this image.
Radiating from the horizon and stretching towards the Milky Way’s core is the Zodiacal Light. This is an elongated, faint, triangular glow, appearing opposite the setting or rising sun. It is a result of sunlight scattering off interplanetary dust particles that lie in the plane of the solar system. Its presence is indicative of the image being taken shortly after sunset or just before sunrise and serves to bridge the gap between the terrestrial and celestial components of the photo.
Providing a vivid color palette against the backdrop of space, the air glow appears as faint ripples of luminescence, manifesting in shades of red, green, and even purple. This phenomenon is caused by the recombination of atoms and molecules that were photoionized by the sun during the day, combined with chemiluminescence, where chemical reactions in the upper atmosphere produce light. Its patchy distribution lends an uneven, wavy texture to the night sky, juxtaposing the more uniform, granular spread of the Milky Way stars.

I Miss My Life on Earth
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
Mountains...
On every planet I have visited, I have encountered unique mountain landscapes. Planets rising above the mountains, galaxy views sinking behind the mountains. The sight that fascinated me the most was the sight of stardust in pastel tones scattered around a dying star. I can't forget that view. It was a tremendous feeling to be this close to a dying star and witness those unique moments. During my time in space, I encountered wonderful landscapes that I would never have seen on planet Earth. I was mesmerized by these sights. I feel very lucky for this. Being chosen for this task made me happy as well as proud. I was living the space adventure that I had dreamed of since my childhood. But on the other hand, I was sad for the time I missed on Earth. I regret the memories that I did not live. I regret my lost life. I miss my life on earth.

Cosmic Dust Ritual
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
I was watching the sunset under a red cosmic dust cloud when I took this photo. I was sitting in silence enjoying this unique view in the sky. It was a moment when I felt very, very lucky. I had not yet given a name to this nebula I had just discovered. Instead of naming this nebula, I decided to savor the moment. A nebula or nebula is a nebula structure in space made up of cosmic dust, hydrogen, helium, and other ionized gases spread over vast areas. They were the remains of a dying star. Even billions of years old stars can have an end. When I think about it, a shudder takes over my body. While the concept of the end sometimes causes peace and excitement in me, the concept of the end sometimes causes fear in me. A concept that can put you in volatile moods is the ending. Maybe I should stop thinking about the end. But I still can't stop myself from thinking about my end. There is a result that I have experienced with nebulas and which surprised me quite a bit. I always felt a tremendous sense of peace in the face of all the cosmic dust landscapes I encountered. I was able to sleep better at night. And when I woke up, I felt that my whole body was completely relaxed. The dreams I had when I slept under the cosmic dust were also different. At night, I had dreams that made me happy and did not tire my mind. I discovered that cosmic dust causes positive results in the human body and soul. However, I have never measured it scientifically. It was just an observational discovery. Even thinking about those moments gives me peace right now. Again, I can't wait to encounter a cosmic dust landscape, the nebula.
