I am sending this message from a new planet. I've been on this newly discovered planet for a while. My discovery of this planet was the result of a mistake I made on the route. I discovered this planet as a result of my deviating from my course as a result of a mathematical mistake I made. As a result of computer analysis, I decided to visit this planet suitable for life. I will share new photos with you on this journey that will be a new adventure for me.

"This ship is much too elegant to see its final days in the slimy hands of the Hutts!!" - Varek Marr
Originally commissioned by a Quarren syndicate on Trask, Boonta Ziringa was designed as a salvage vessel, but after a violent power shift in the syndicate, the ship was acquired by the Hutts as compensation for a lost shipment. The Hutts transferred it to Tatooine, where it was used as a transport barge in service of the Hutt kajidic Desilijic during the Jabba rule. In the chaos following Jabba's demise, Boonta Ziringa was bought from the Jawas by a native Tatooine entrepreneur named Varek Marr. When Boba Fett assumed control over Tatooine and ushered in a long-awaited period of stability, Varek offered Boba his services. Boonta Ziringa sailed the Dune Sea for many decades, until it suddenly disappeared from Tatooine planetary records.
When travelling across the planet surface, Boonta Ziringa would use the resource-efficient repulsorlift drives to stay afloat. Its massive sail would catch the hot winds of the Jundland Wastes, propelling the vessel at breakneck speeds with minimal fuel consumption.
The barge could support a small crew for several weeks, and its modular cargo holds were perfectly suited for smuggling goods in the dry Tatooine environment. When stationary, the sails would fold down to make its profile smaller. Boonta Ziringa was capable of interplanetary travel, a the cost of significantly reduced cargo capacity.
--------------------------
This is my entry for SHIPtember this year. It’s my first-ever digital SHIP, built and rendered with Bricklink Studio. It is (obviously) heavily inspired by this concept art by John Wallin Liberto, made for the movie The Creator. When I saw his drawing, it was love at first sight — I knew I had to build my own version!
I had major issues with the diagonal decals on the sails. I learned that PartDesigner is extremely bad at handling decals on large imported objects, so I had to apply them to small groups and individual elements instead. It was mind-numbingly tedious, but totally worth it! :)
During the build process, my brain usually starts visualizing the final result. I saw this ship swooshing across a desert landscape like the Star Wars planet Tatooine. Once that image took hold, I couldn’t let it go — I had to place this ship into a Star Wars setting.

One of a short series of images showing the development of an aurora display from a classic arc into a more complex pattern of concentric arcs and with loops and swirls. This was Feb 5, 2019 from the Churchill Northern Studies Centre. The outburst lasted only 5 minutes or so and might have been due to the Bz interplanetary field turning south briefly. After this series, the display faded and fractured into faint arcs and a diffuse glow across the sky. ..This is a single exposure with the 12mm Rokinon full-frame fish-eye and Nikon D750.

These probes from the Emissary's race have been spotted on various planets, as well as traveling between them under their own power.
But they were in no hurry. Cylinder followed cylinder on its interplanetary flight; every twenty-four hours brought them reinforcement. And meanwhile the military and naval authorities, now fully alive to the tremendous power of their antagonists, worked with furious energy.

ARIA
"Le emissioni di carbonio riempiono l’aria, il particolato galleggia nei nostri polmoni, mentre le radiazioni elettromagnetiche avvolgono la terra. Tuttavia è possibile immaginare un’era diversa, l’Aerocene, caratterizzata da una sensibilità proiettata verso una nuova ecologia di comportamento.
Gli ecosistemi devono essere pensati come reti di interazione al cui interno ogni essere vivente si evolve insieme agli altri. Focalizzandoci meno sull’individualità e più sulla reciprocità, possiamo andare oltre la considerazione dei mezzi necessari per controllare l’ambiente e ipotizzare uno sviluppo condiviso del nostro quotidiano. Lasciamo che la ragnatela ci guidi."
(Tomás Saraceno)

ARIA
"Carbon emissions fill the air, particulate matter floats inside our lungs while electromagnetic radiation envelops the earth. Yet, a different epoch is possible, an Aerocene epoch – one of interplanetary sensitivity through a new ecology of practice. Ecosystems have to be thought of as webs of interactions, within which each living being’s ecology co-evolves. By focusing less on individuals and more on reciprocal relationships, we might think beyond what means are necessary to control our environments and more on the shared formation of our quotidian. Let the spiderweb guide here." (Tomás Saraceno)

The blue one was the second hard-scifi ship I made (based on this) and the red and orange were offshoots of the base model. Here, only the blue one is right-side up (the airlock is on the dorsal face).
All in all, these are the least-realistic ships of this theme--strap in for some physics:
-They all need vector control and should be able to effectively translate in Euclidean Space. Pretty good there though the only reverseing thrusters are the aft side ones (they gimbal to point forward or off to the sides) and the balance of dorsal and ventral thrusters is a bit off (especially for the blue one if it is tugging).
-The bodies really only need to protect the inards. Here, the inards include the isolated crew space and then the rest of the machinery. I attempted to copy the inflatable outer shell of Paul Pepera but at this scale in Lego I didn't manage too well. Point: I could have a lot more exposed than I do and that would realisticaly remove weight.
-Lastly and most importantly, the more compact the weight distribution, the easier it is to rotate the ship. These ships are like long boards: a lot of surface area where it isn't really needed. It would make more sense to condense the machinery into the center but that would make a weird T-shape (which I'm just realizing could look really cool and I am currently putting that on my to-do list). Compare these to this.
Bottom line, I think too much. They look cool and they're staying.
For those of you that got this far, the arm on Blue is mounted the same as the one on Orange. The ventral equipment rack on Red is mounted in place of the arm. There are finished interiors in all of them with control and operator spaces, a bunch of great windows, storage compartments, and little plant containers. The big arms on Orange have scanning array end effectors. I decided that Red didn't need large thrusters astern because unlike Blue, she wasn't pushing heavy objects, and unlike Orange, she wasn't being carried by an interplanetary ship through open space. Instead, Red stays with the assigned space elevator. Last little info tidbit: These guys easily fit in the assembly bay.
One last detail for you Mecabricks users, the lighting here is HDRI "Studio020" with strength at 3. So far it hasn't faded the white color into grey and it has nice reflections and shadows.

Imagen de gran campo de la totalidad del eclipse de Luna del 21 de enero de 2019.
En el cielo se puede ver nuestro satélite totalmente eclipsado (color rojizo), alineado con las estrellas Cástor y Pólux de la constelación de los Gemelos (Geminis) y cerca del cúmulo estelar abierto M44 (el Pesebre).
La Vía láctea se encuentra paralela al horizonte, cerca de su puesta por el horizonte. Aún así se distingue perfectamente su estructura y varias nebulosas rojizas de emisión.
Alrededor de la Luna se observa una zona de débil luminosidad ovalada, que es el Gegenschein, polvo interplanetario reflejado por la luz solar, que se encuentra en el punto antisolar del cielo (opuesto diametralmente a la posición del Sol).
En el paisaje destaca el volcán Teide elevándose sobre el Parque Nacional del Teide. A la izquierda, sobre el horizonte aparece airglow verde y a la derecha se encuentra la capa de inversión, cubriendo la costa de Tenerife.

Wide field image of the total lunar eclipse January 21, 2019.
In the sky one can see our natural satellite totally eclipsed (reddish color), aligned with the stars Castor and Pollux of Twins constellation (Gemini) and near the open star cluster M44 (Beehive).
The Milky Way is parallel to the horizon, close to its position on the horizon. Even so it is perfectly distinguished its structure and several reddish emission nebulas.
Around the Moon there is an area of very faint oval luminosity, which is the Gegenschein, interplanetary dust reflected by sunlight, which is located in the antisolar point of the sky (diametrically opposite to the position of the Sun).
In the landscape highlights the Teide volcano rising above Teide National Park. On the left, green airglow appears on the horizon and on the right is the inversion layer, covering the coast of Tenerife.

In February I was at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh, armed with a photo pass for the African Soul Rebels concert.
During one of the intervals between acts, I wandered around the recently completed extension to the building...and seldom has my flabber been quite so gasted...as when I stumbled across this magnificent staircase.
I took some photos that night...but was keen to see how it looked in daylight. Yesterday I returned to shoot some more shots.
My thanks are due to Emma Patterson and Victoria Fuller from the Usher Hall, for giving me permission to photograph.
On a technical note...I've processed the same RAW file three times here...to cope with daylight/artificial colour temperatures and the exposure of the light fixture...then combined with layer masking. :-)
You can see my previous shots of this staircase at these links:

A New Discovery : Planet Dokeia
Planet Dokeia
Interplanetary Travel
Hello again.
I'm here again with a new planet discovery. I've been orbiting this newly discovered planet for some time now. As a result of my investigations, I discovered that the planet is quite suitable for life. I plan to make a soft landing in the area I have determined suitable for landing for my spacecraft, passing through the atmosphere shortly. Since the planet's atmosphere is not very thick, I won't need to open the extra heat shields. The thick atmosphere of Planet'Bu unfortunately damaged the thermal insulation of my spacecraft. So I'll have to use my heat shields more carefully.
I hope to encounter a civilization on this new planet. The fact that I did not encounter any civilization on this trip, which I was following in the footsteps of the Plutonians, worries me a lot. Although I have encountered many traces of civilization, it worries me that I do not encounter the beings that make up these traces of civilization. I wonder how these lost civilizations disappeared. Is this one, leaving the planet or extinction? I do not know.

Not much to add about Ben Nevis but a word or two on The Belt of Venus.....
"An atmospheric phenomenon seen shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset. The observer is, or is very nearly, surrounded by a pinkish glow (or anti-twilight arch) that extends roughly 10°–20° above the horizon.
Often, the glow is separated from the horizon by a dark layer, the Earth's shadow or "dark segment." The arch's light pink color is due to backscattering of reddened light from the rising or setting Sun. A very similar effect can be seen during a total solar eclipse. The zodiacal light, which is caused by reflection of sunlight from the interplanetary dust in the solar system, is also a similar phenomenon.
The name of the phenomenon alludes to the cestus, a girdle or breast-band, of the Ancient Greek goddess Aphrodite, customarily equated with the Roman goddess Venus."
Approx. 120 studs long
The Interplanetary Expedition Alliance ship Discovery. A hard sci-fi take on what a larger ship designed for very long-distance intra-solar system travel might actually look like. Significantly larger and more equipped than the I.E.A. Vanguard.
I've never built with the intention of achieving a certain size, so at 120 studs in length, this is my first SHIP in 20+ years of LEGO Space building.
In your mind you have capacities you know
To telepath messages through the vast unknown
Please close your eyes and concentrate

Upon the recitation we're about to sing

Calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft

On 21 January, a foreign body crashed to Earth causing a cascade of bright light to trail through the sky.
The fleeting flash was a fireball, defined as a meteor brighter than the planet Venus. Such bright meteors are caused as small asteroids strike the atmosphere, entirely or almost entirely burning up due to friction, sometimes suddenly exploding.
Every day, roughly 54 tonnes of extra-terrestrial material reaches Earth, including interplanetary dust, meteoroids and asteroids. Fireballs like this one are estimated to strike Earth hundreds of times every year, however not all are caught on camera or shine so brightly.
From the brightness of this fireball, around the time of a full moon, experts have deduced that the original object could have ranged from tens of centimetres to a metre in size, depending on its entry speed, composition and other characteristics.
This impressive shot was captured by photographer Chris Small at the seaside resort town of Bude, northeast Cornwall, England, at 23:24 UTC.
"I see a lot of meteors due to spending so long shooting the night sky, but I’ve never seen anything quite like that before!" says Chris.
"It was incredible, and lit up the entire coast almost as bright as daytime for a few seconds. There were beautiful green and blue colours."
While the foreground is filled with lobster pots used by local fishermen, the background is lit up with this green-blue tinge, revealing the presence of oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere. As the air surrounding the burning ball heats up, atoms become ‘excited’, with oxygen emitting light at a frequency of about 558 nm – in the blue-green part of the visible spectrum.
This colourful effect is also the reason for the beautiful aurorae at Earth’s poles, caused as charged particles from the Sun strike and excite atoms in the upper atmosphere.
The fireball in this image was spotted by at least five observers across the UK, who reported it to the International Meteor Organization – an organisation set up to collect meteor observations from around the world.
A new ESA warning system called NEMO (NEar-real time MOnitor) also picked up the event shortly after it happened. The NEMO system tracks social media activity to build a near real-time picture of fireball events around the globe, and is part of the Agency's Planetary Defence Office.

At this time of the year, many nightscapers pack away their cameras and say that the Milky Way season is over. They couldn’t be more wrong! The core season might be over, but the winter Milky Way is visible all night and makes an excellent photographic target.
With its abundance in hydrogen emission nebulas, the "bad side" of the Milky Way is actually more colorful than its brighter summer counterpart, especially when captured with an astro-modified camera.
Orion is a real gem: The sword is dominated by the famous Orion Nebula and the nearby Running Man Nebula. Both are glowing in red Hydrogen and blue Oxygen light. Orion’s belt harbors the Horsehead Nebula, a dark dust cloud that is silhouetted against another deep red nebulosity (IC 434) and right next to it, the bright Flame Nebula shares the same field of view.
This whole complex is surrounded by the elusive Barnard’s Loop an interstellar gas cloud that is ionized by the stars inside the Orion Nebula.
Another prominent part of the Orion’s nebulosity, is a ring around Lambda Orionis (Meissa). It measures about 12 degrees across and probably is the remains of a supernova explosion, now ionized by the ultraviolet radiation from Meissa itself and some of the surrounding hot stars.
Those blessed with dark skies might even be able to record the very elusive Witch Head Nebula, an extremely faint reflection nebula, believed to be an ancient supernova remnant or gas cloud, illuminated by the nearby supergiant star Rigel.
Of course there is not only Orion. Other prominent Hydrogen emission Nebulas are the Rosette Nebula in the constellation Monoceros, the Seagull Nebula near Canis Major, the California Nebula in Perseus, Cassiopeia’s Heart and Soul Nebulas or The Elephant Trunk Nebula in Cepheus.
The whole winter Milky Way is dotted with open star clusters. Some are naked eye objects like the Pleiades, the Hyades, the Beehive Cluster or the Double Cluster and many of them are part of the famous Messier Catalogue (e.g. M34 – M38, M44 –M48, M67). Some of these open clusters are surrounded by gas clouds and the ionizing radiation from their stars powers many of the emission nebulas mentioned above.
Furthermore, autumn and winter is galaxy time. Our galactic neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy, is the most prominent example, but there are many more, like the Triangulum Galaxy (M33), pictured here to the east of Andromeda.
Fed up with deep sky objects? Then you might like this: Under dark skies you might be able to observe the gegenschein. The backscatter of sunlight by interplanetary dust causes this optical phenomenon. It forms a slightly more luminous, oval glow directly opposite the Sun within the band of the luminous zodiacal light. The intensity of the gegenschein is relatively enhanced, because each dust particle is seen in full phase.
Even closer to home, you might be able to see meteors (from the Leonids or the Alpha Monocerotids in November or the famous Geminids in December) burning up in earth’s atmosphere and of course you might also be able to capture some colorful airglow.

This is my first real submission and participation in SHIPtember. I started this late July and finished it mid-August because of school scheduling conflicts (So technically Pre-SHIPtember). This was ridiculously fun to build, but also one my most challenging builds i've done to date. I'll most certainly be participating in the future =D.
I hope you like it!
