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.
Full complement of crew now. Although Cooper and Amelia still look like they've just had a big argument.

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...
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.

Check out what's (who's) on the end of my big toe! A good example of this wonderful color of nail polish too!
From November 1st to 3rd 2024 I went to Bricking Bavaria in Fürth and I decided to turn my Interstellar scenes into little vignettes to accompany the Endurance.

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 iconic Ranger spacecraft from my favourite film of last year, Interstellar, lovingly recreated in Lego.
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.

My 1:500 LEGO model of the NASA long-range explorer "Endurance" from the movie Interstellar, rotating at 5.5 rpm to create an artifical gravity of 1g. It's an animation of the digital model done in Blender.
This was prompted by a comment from Thomus Bean that it would be neat to have a spinning model. But while the real model is attached to a stand right at the center of rotation, it's unfortunately not freely rotatable due to stability reasons. So I fired up Blender and did a little animation of the Endurance in space, using the exact rotation speed it has at normal operation. Of course the famous docking scene where it rotates at ~67 rpm would be a lot more interesting to recreate, but since that involves partially destroying the model as well as more intricate mise-en-scéne for my humble Blender abilities, I leave that for a future project.
Instructions for the Endurance can be found on Rebrickable.
An abstract view of deep space. The only thing done to photo here was add a black colour control point. I dragged it around to different colours on the screen until I got a pleasing result. Not the way it is supposed to be used.
The Black, white and Neutral control points are great tools of CaptureNX that enable you, with the aid of a Histogram, to find the darkest, lightest or neutral points in an image.
ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) has obtained new images of 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar object discovered last week. Identified as a comet, 3I/ATLAS is only the third visitor from outside the Solar System ever found, after 1I/ʻOumuamua and 2I/Borisov. Its highly eccentric hyperbolic orbit, unlike that of objects in the Solar System, gave away its interstellar origin.
In this VLT timelapse, 3I/ATLAS is seen moving to the right over the course of about 13 minutes. These data were obtained with the FORS2 instrument on the VLT on the night of 3 July 2025, just two days after the comet was first discovered. The data were made immediately public through the ESO archive.
At the end of the video, we see all frames stacked into a single image: the deepest and best to date we have of this foreign object. But this record won’t hold for long as the comet is getting closer to Earth and becoming less faint. Currently more than 600 million kilometres away from the Sun, 3I/ATLAS is travelling towards the inner Solar System and is expected to make its closest approach to Earth in late October 2025. While 3I/ATLAS will be hiding behind the Sun at that point, it will become observable again in December 2025, as it makes its way back to interstellar space.
Telescopes around the world, including the VLT, will continue to observe this rare celestial visitor for as long as they can, to find out more about its shape, its composition and its origin. What surprises will these observations reveal? Stay tuned!
