Strabane Transmitting Station, Koram Hill, Legfordrum, County Tyrone
Early hours this morning we were bathed in one of the strongest and most vibrant Auroras in years! I had to choose my location to capture these northern lights and this old broadcast transmitter tower always makes for a great composition, especially at night. I love how its red lights reflected off the surrounding clouds and ground, adding a sci-fi vibe to the scene. Both these man-made and natural sources of light reflected/blended perfectly together adding some colour to what may have been otherwise a very dark scene.
I’m a sci-fi lover 👽 and can’t help but wonder if there are any interstellar messages coded within these Aurora rays 😄 It’s good to let the mind wonder under skies like these created by the raw energy of our sun and deep space combined.....
Constructed in 1963 this television broadcast tower stands 1,002 ft high, which today still the record for the tallest structure in all of Ireland! This transmission tower is respected by the folk of Strabane town and surrounding areas. If you live in Strabane and are ever returning home from a trip, then this broadcast tower is always the first thing you see from a great distance on your return. It may be an old iron reception tower to an onlooking stranger, but to us it’s a landmark beacon of our little town 💜

The Elephant's Trunk Nebula is a concentration of interstellar gas and dust within the much larger ionized gas region IC 1396 located in the constellation Cepheus about 2,400 light years away from Earth.[1] The piece of the nebula shown here is the dark, dense globule IC 1396A; it is commonly called the Elephant's Trunk nebula because of its appearance at visible light wavelengths, where there is a dark patch with a bright, sinuous rim. The bright rim is the surface of the dense cloud that is being illuminated and ionized by a very bright, massive star (HD 206267) that is just to the east of IC 1396A. The entire IC 1396 region is ionized by the massive star, except for dense globules that can protect themselves from the star's harsh ultraviolet rays.
The Elephant's Trunk Nebula is now thought to be a site of star formation, containing several very young (less than 100,000 yr) stars that were discovered in infrared images in 2003. Two older (but still young, a couple of million years, by the standards of stars, which live for billions of years) stars are present in a small, circular cavity in the head of the globule. Winds from these young stars may have emptied the cavity.
The combined action of the light from the massive star ionizing and compressing the rim of the cloud, and the wind from the young stars shifting gas from the center outward lead to very high compression in the Elephant's Trunk Nebula. This pressure has triggered the current generation of protostars.

Compared to the previous versions, I think I've managed to capture the distinct arrow-head shape much better, along with the low profile angles. It's also about 30% bigger now and that has meant I've been able to really go to town on the windows!

Over the past year or so I have been finding myself shooting more intimates and abstracts. Abstract patterns typically portray an artistic side of nature and they frequently resonate with modern art.
Perched above Mendenhall Glacier, Aaron and I looked down upon the textures and crevices of the glacier. Compacted by gravity the ice formed rugged shelves but at the edge of the glacier I spotted a section with smoother textures resembling those of dunes. A combination of blue ice, black dirt, and white, these dunes reminded me of a painting of a barren freezing landscape.

EN_ Andromeda is the largest galaxy closest to the Milky Way. Both galaxies dominate the local group. Andromeda's diffused light is caused by hundreds of billions of stars that compose it, along with interstellar gas and dust. Known as M31 for being object 31 cataloged by astronomer Charles Messier. Its distant light takes 2 million light years to reach us. Many things of our neighboring galaxy are still unknown, such as its double nucleus where they could contain 2 supermassive holes on the way to fusion to form a larger one releasing energy in gravitational waves.

ES_M31: La galaxia de Andromeda
Andrómeda es la galaxia grande mas cercana a la Vía Láctea. Ambas galaxias dominan el grupo local. La luz difusa de Andrómeda esta causada por cientos de miles de millones de estrellas que la componen, junto a gas y polvo interestelar. Conocida como M31 por ser el objeto 31 catalogada por el astrónomo Charles Messier. Su luz distante tarda 2 millones de años luz en llegarnos. Aun se desconocen muchas cosas de nuestra galaxia vecina, como su núcleo doble donde podrian contener 2 agujeros supermasivos en camino a la fusión para formar uno mayor liberando energía en ondaa gravitacionales.

An international team of scientists have used data collected by the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to detect a molecule known as the methyl cation (CH3+) for the first time, located in the protoplanetary disc surrounding a young star. They accomplished this feat with a cross-disciplinary expert analysis, including key input from laboratory spectroscopists. The vital role of CH3+ in interstellar carbon chemistry has been predicted since the 1970s, but Webb’s unique capabilities have finally made observing it possible — in a region of space where planets capable of accommodating life could eventually form.
This image is NIRCam’s view of the Orion Bar region studied by the team of astronomers. Bathed in harsh ultraviolet light from the stars of the Trapezium Cluster, it is an area of intense activity, with star formation and active astrochemistry. This made it a perfect place to study the exact impact that ultraviolet radiation has on the molecular makeup of the discs of gas and dust that surround new stars. The radiation erodes the nebula’s gas and dust in a process known as photoevaporation; this creates the rich tapestry of cavities and filaments that fill the view. The radiation also ionises the molecules, causing them to emit light — not only does this create a beautiful vista, it also allows astronomers to study the molecules using the spectrum of their emitted light obtained with Webb’s MIRI and NIRSpec instruments.
The two very large, bright stars are two of the three stars in the θ² Orionis system — the Trapezium Cluster is also known as θ¹ Orionis. The brightest star here, θ² Orionis A, is surrounded by particularly bright and red puffs of dust, which are reflecting the star’s light towards Earth. Its great brightness — it is visible with the naked eye — is due to the fact that θ² Orionis A is itself a ternary system made of three closely bound bright stars.
There are more proplyds visible in this image than just d203-506 — the Orion Nebula is replete with such new stars. In the very top left, a tiny star is visible within a long, dusty cocoon. This globule has formed from the star’s protoplanetary disc, as the disc is broken down by the energetic radiation of the Trapezium Cluster. Around the globule, a round shockwave is strikingly visible moving through the gas of the Orion Nebula.
[Image description: A nebula made of many layers of cloudy, colourful material. The top-left side of the image is brightly lit, filled with wispy, thin material in pale shades of pink and blue. A thick bar of denser, cloudier material crosses diagonally at the bottom right. It begins as orange and grows darker and sparser down to the corner. Two very bright stars, with very long diffraction spikes, lie in this sparse area.]

so hot yesterday, stayed inside with the cool on, our heat pump furnace is much appreciated now, 20 Celsius inside, 30 Celsius outside, way too hot for me. In the evening we drove to Fort Langley, and I suddenly saw that the sky was on fire behind me, and could only capture it in my side mirror. Wow, haven't seen a splendiferous sunset like that in years! and later there was heat lightening and even a brief pounding rainfall, very exciting. Its a few degrees cooler today, thank God.
listening to Pink Floyd's "Interstellar Overdrive"
I have often wondered if my local woodland would be suitable for some night photography, tonight I found out.
Putting all my irrational fear to one side, I walked deep into the woods and held my ground as the light of the day ebbed away and the darkness of the night crept in.
The creaking of branches and snapping of twigs underfoot, the sniffling and snorting of badgers, the shrieks of owls and foxes slowly raised in volume from all around, but my gaze and concentration were transfixed at the appearance of the universe above, I found perspective!

Due to the new shitty layout decided to put max 1600px pictures in the future.
Have a fantastic weekend my friends :)

It was lightpainted and the sky is a combination of two separate shots. One long exposure (1/2 hour) and one short (30 seconds).
We joint a glacier walk tour and arrived Svinafellsjokull, where iit is one of the scene in Interstellar.
Pensaba como en la memoria colectiva se ha arraigado cierta percepción acerca de como lucen cosas desconocidas. Conceptos creados como dioses, extraterrestres y demonios, etc. a todos les hemos asignado rostros y hasta actitudes, todo sin ninguna certeza de la existencia de estos entes.
supongo que es un fenomeno natural de la humanidad el unificar criterios visuales.
