The aft section has been extended again by a stud either side, which seemed to match the reference photos better and allowed me to get a few extra details around the hatch.

The iconic Ranger spacecraft from my favourite film of last year, Interstellar, lovingly recreated in Lego.
Initially I was going to build the top using two 6x3 windows and then create some custom stickers for them. But I'm glad I didn't - using 100% Lego is always more satisfying!

Interstellar matter and dust Looking towards the inner spurs of our galaxy, Milkyway, from the wonderful star party at mt Parnon, Sparta 10th National Annual Star Party of Greek Amateur Astronomers Special thanks to the Astronomical Union of Sparta! Banquet of interstellar dust matter and looking at the internal threads of our galaxy somewhere between Centaur Sagittarius, Scutum and Serpens Cauda. The Galactic Center is the rotational center of the Milky Way. The estimates for its location range from 7.6 to 8.7 kiloparsecs (about 25,000 to 28,000 lightyears) from Earth in the direction of the constellations Sagittarius, Ophiuchus, and Scorpius where the Milky Way appears brightest. There is strong evidence consistent with the existence of a supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center of the Milky Way. text bit.ly/2bblTJz The main disc of our galaxy has a diameter of 80,000 to 100,000 light-years, the perimeter 250 to 300 000 light years and a thickness of about 1,000 light years. It consists of 200 up to 400 billion stars. If we define a natural scale and assume that the Milky Way has a diameter of 130 km, the solar system would have a length of 2 mm. The Galactic Halo extends over a diameter of 250,000 and 400,000 light years. As reported extensively in the galaxy structure below, new research has shown that the disk extends much more than we thought until last. Officially, since 2005, the Milky Way is now considered to be a large barred spiral galaxy SBbc type the Hubble sequence (small barred spiral helix) with a total mass of 600 to 3,000 billion solar masses (M☉) [5] [6], comprising from 200 to 400,000,000,000 stars. The galactic disk has an estimated diameter of about 100,000 light years. The distance of the Sun from the center of the galaxy is estimated at 26,000 light years. The disc is protuberant in the center and symperikleietai from the so-called thick disk. The Sun (and thus the Earth and the Solar System) is quite close to the inner ring of the Arm of Orion, local cloud, at 7,94 ± 0,42 kpc from the Galactic Center. The distance between the local arm and immediately nearest, the Perseus Arm, is of the order of 1 · 1019 m (6.500 light years). The Sun and by extension the solar system, located in what scientists call the Galactic Habitable Zone. The direction of the Sun's path (apix or corymb), refers to the direction of the Sun as it travels in the Galaxy. The general direction of galactic motion of the Sun is near the constellation Hercules, at an angle of approximately 86 degrees from the Galactic Center. The orbit of the Sun in the Galaxy is expected to be approximately elliptical with the addition of influences from the galactic arms and uneven mass distribution. We are currently 1/8 of the track before perigalaxio (the shortest distance from the center of the Milky Way). The solar system takes about 225-250000000 years to complete an orbit (one Galactic Year), so speculation has performed approximately 20-25 orbits during its lifetime. The orbital speed of the Solar System is 217 km / sec, ie. One light-year every 1,400 years, and 1 AU in 8 days.

Hace poco publicamos esta noticia bit.ly/10talcP sobre la película Interstellar a estrenarse la semana que viene. En esa oportunidad tomamos la imagen del agujero negro de una captura de pantalla del trailer, ahora conseguimos una donde se puede ver y apreciar por completo.
outer space? inner space? you decide... so many ice and snow formations, so little time... for real: the 'frost flowers' in this photo are about one inch tall, and two in diameter... the black background is fresh, almost-perfectly-clear ice formed overnight, with air bubbles underneath... lots of layers to play with here...
Full complement of crew now. Although Cooper and Amelia still look like they've just had a big argument.

Some reference for me or anyone else who feels like building the Endurance. Nolan gets full points from me for using physical models in the movie. CG has it's place but it's not for EVERYTHING.

The MIT Dome lit up at night in a single exposure. I took a single long exposure shot while manually zooming out with the lens. Quite pleased with the result.

Here is Cooper helping Amelia back into the Ranger. I probably could have filled the bath tub... ahem, I mean my professional photography studio setup, with water to enhance the scene. But I didn't think of it until after!

No point in me bringing the former and not expect my tech to use it, usually in combination like this time. It's her favorite.
My entry to the Interstellar Outpost Contest.
Knor Industries, well known for their military and civilian vehicles, are now offering an Outpost Bundle that includes:
the Knor RW starfighter, which with its rotating wings can land or take off on a dime; the Knor TX tanker truck, famous for its off road capabilities; the Knor SI comm station, equipped with the latest in communication technology; and the Knor RW landing pad that doubles as a storage area for the outpost. Take advantage of this great Bundle deal while you can!
The starfighter's wings rotate with a twist of the knob on top, to switch between flight and hover/landing mode; it also has a functional landing gear. The tanker truck has working steering (also operated by the knob on top) and 'suspension'. The comm station has a full interior and the landing pad doubles as a storage area.

The Heart Nebula, also known as IC 1805, is a large emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia.
It is located approximately 7.500 light-years from Earth.
The brightest portion of the nebula is called NGC 896, but we also have Melotte 15, the core of this nebula and the Fish Head Nebula.
This Nebula is also made up of ionised oxygen and sulfur gasses.
After almost 1.5 years without taking a single photo, I dusted off my telescope and I tried to see if everything was alright, I then pointed my telescope to the Heart Nebula just for checking if the motors of the mount were working correctly.
I suddently saw a lot of potential in my camera that I bought almost 1 year ago and I never used.
I decided to let the telescope run for 3 hours and when I saw the results of the HA channel I was amazed, so I also took the OIII channel the day after, ending up with a total integration time of 6 hrs, under a 50% illuminated moon and with a bit of fog. This is how quicky I fell in love again with astrophotography in a bortle 9, white zone.
