4 years later, I finally returned to finish up the Ranger. All the shaping is done, just waiting on some bricklink orders to get everything in the right color. The brick-built solutions I came up with for the windows left me unsatisfied so I'll be printing some stickers to mask them in.
A short brickfilm featuring the model will hopefully be done by early July. Thanks for looking.

ILNP Interstellar on top of Morgan-Taylor Deja Blue. Nail tech showed the Interstellar to everyone she could find, then ordered her own. It was her idea to overlay it with the Deja Blue. Wife is also wearing the Interstellar.
For fun I created an 8-bit level. This comes mostly from growing up playing the Atari 2600 and games on my Ti-99/4A home computer. All pixel art in Interstellar Force was created using pixel art editor Pixen for Mac
Had a fantastic night out photographing the stars with a great Mate. This was taken at Lake Moogerah. I was going to PS the plane out (bottom left) but decided to leave it in.

Technical explanation of objects :
The Virgo cluster is a cluster of galaxies located approximately 59 ± 4 million light-years away in the direction of the constellation Virgo. It contains some 1,300 known galaxies, although there may be as many as 2,000, and forms the central region of the Local Supercluster, in which the Local Group is also found. Its mass is estimated to be 1.2×1015 MS up to about 8 degrees from the center of the cluster, which is equivalent to a radius of about 2.2 Mpc.3
Many of the bright galaxies in this cluster, including the giant elliptical galaxy Messier 87, were discovered in the late 1770s and early 1780s and later included in Charles Messier's catalogue. Described by Messier as starless nebulae, their true nature would not be discovered until the 1920s.
The cluster subtends a maximum arc of about 8 degrees centered on the constellation Virgo, and many of its galaxies can be seen with an amateur telescope. Its brightest member is the giant elliptical galaxy M49, but the most notable and famous is the galaxy M87, located in its center.
In the center of the image we show we have NGC 4435 and NGC 4438, also known as the Eye Galaxies or Arp 120, they are two galaxies in the Virgo Cluster, about 52 million light years from our galaxy, also visible with amateur telescopes.
NGC 4435:
NGC 4435 is a barred lenticular galaxy showing a ring of dust around the nucleus. Through studies carried out with the Spitzer telescope, a young stellar population has been detected in its center, which indicates that 190 million years ago it suffered a stellar outbreak perhaps caused by an interaction with NGC 4438, and almost all of its hot gas, according to studies. made in X-rays with the Chandra telescope, is concentrated in its central region. It also seems to have a long tail that was also thought to be produced by this event, but which is actually a system of dust clouds in our galaxy that is totally unrelated to NGC 4435.
NGC 4438:
NGC 4438 is a hard-to-classify galaxy that has been classified as both a spiral galaxy and a lenticular galaxy, which explains its inclusion in Halton C. Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. It is one of the most notable galaxies in the cluster due to its highly distorted appearance, which shows that it is undergoing or has undergone gravitational interactions, and for the unknown mechanism that causes its central region to show activity, and that it has expelled opposing gas loops at one the other. A starburst, a black hole, or an active galactic nucleus has been thought of, and all possibilities are under investigation. It also shows a low content of neutral hydrogen, perhaps due to its friction with the hot gas that fills the intergalactic medium of Virgo or with the corona of hot gas that surrounds the nearby galaxy M86 and/or due to having been torn away by gravitational attraction. of some galaxy with which it was about to collide (perhaps M86 itself), in addition to a displacement of the different components of its interstellar medium (neutral hydrogen, molecular hydrogen, hot gas, and interstellar dust, which reaches up to a distance of 4-5 kiloparsecs from its disk) in the direction of NGC 4435 -which tends to be attributed, however, to friction with the aforementioned intergalactic medium-, and finally traces of having undergone several bursts of star formation.
A pair of interacting galaxies?
NGC 4435 and NGC 4438 have been and are considered by numerous authors to be a pair of interacting galaxies, having calculated that the two galaxies came close 100 million years ago to just 16,000 light years from each other. In any case, and despite the strong evidence in favor of an interaction between the two, other scientists have expressed doubts as to whether the two galaxies are actually interacting despite their apparent proximity, since their redshifts are different and NGC 4435 is barely visible. has suffered the effects of such interaction. It has also been speculated that NGC 4438 may actually be two galaxies merging, having nothing to do with NGC 4435, which has interacted in the past with M86 (to which it seems to be joined by filaments of gas and in which it is detected certain amount of interstellar dust and atomic and ionized hydrogen that seems to come from NGC 4438, which reinforces this possibility) causing the peculiarities observed in it, that the three mentioned galaxies have interacted with each other, and even that NGC 4438 may be being torn apart by the gravity (tidal forces) of M87, which is only 58 arcminutes away from it (and seems to have gotten as close as 300 kiloparsecs).

This one is special.
The first time I saw the movie Interstellar I was moved. The epic adventure across space and time brought the characters to worlds of pure imagination. When I learned that "Dr. Mann's planet" was filmed in Iceland on the Vatnajokull glacier, I knew I had to see it for myself. I set off for Iceland to find the very same glacier. Climbing it was an experience I will never forget, it's unlike any other glacier I've climbed.
Afterward I wanted to create a world of my own out of my experience on the glacier, inspired by Interstellar. The result is the work you see here.
Last night, when the moons slipped below the horizon, the stars were tremendous! I took a drove outside of the city to capture some stars, man, were there the stars!
When astronomers see something in the universe that at first glance seems like one-of-a-kind, it's bound to stir up a lot of excitement and attention. Enter comet 2I/Borisov. This mysterious visitor from the depths of space is the first identified comet to arrive here from another star. We don't know from where or when the comet started heading toward our Sun, but it won't hang around for long. The Sun's gravity is slightly deflecting its trajectory, but can't capture it because of the shape of its orbit and high velocity of about 100,000 miles per hour.
Telescopes around the world have been watching the fleeting visitor. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has provided the sharpest views as the comet skirts by our Sun. Since October the space telescope has been following the comet like a sports photographer following horses speeding around a racetrack. Hubble revealed that the heart of the comet, a loose agglomeration of ices and dust particles, is likely no more than about 3,200 feet across, about the length of nine football fields. Though comet Borisov is the first of its kind, no doubt there are many other comet vagabonds out there, plying the space between stars. Astronomers will eagerly be on the lookout for the next mysterious visitor from far beyond.
These two images, taken by Hubble, capture comet 2I/Borisov streaking though our solar system and on its way back to interstellar space. It is only the second interstellar object known to have passed through the solar system.

The comet appears in front of a distant background spiral galaxy (2MASX J10500165-0152029). The galaxy's bright central core is smeared in the image because Hubble was tracking the comet. Comet Borisov was approximately 203 million miles from Earth in this exposure. Its tail of ejected dust streaks off to the upper right. The comet has been artificially colored blue to discriminate fine detail in the halo of dust, or coma, surrounding the central nucleus. It also helps to visually separate the comet from the background galaxy.

Hubble revisited the comet shortly after its closest approach to the Sun where it received maximum heating after spending most of its life in frigid interstellar space. The comet also reached a breathtaking maximum speed of about 100,000 miles per hour. Comet Borisov is 185 million miles from Earth in this photo, near the inner edge of the asteroid belt but below it. The nucleus, an agglomeration of ices and dust, is still too small to be resolved. The bright central portion is a coma made up of dust leaving the surface. The comet will make its closest approach to Earth in late December at a distance of 180 million miles.

"Hubble gives us the best upper limit of the size of comet Borisov's nucleus, which is the really important part of the comet," said David Jewitt, a UCLA professor of planetary science and astronomy, whose team has captured the best and sharpest look at this first confirmed interstellar comet. "Surprisingly, our Hubble images show that its nucleus is more than 15 times smaller than earlier investigations suggested it might be. Our Hubble images show that the radius is smaller than half a kilometer. Knowing the size is potentially useful for beginning to estimate how common such objects may be in the solar system and our galaxy. Borisov is the first known interstellar comet, and we would like to learn how many others there are."
Crimean amateur astronomer Gennady Borisov discovered the comet on Aug. 30, 2019, and reported the position measurements to the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Center for Near-Earth Object Studies at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, working with the Minor Planet Center, computed an orbit for the comet, which shows that it came from elsewhere in our Milky Way galaxy, point of origin unknown.
Nevertheless, observations by numerous telescopes show that the comet's chemical composition is similar to the comets found inside our solar system, providing evidence that comets also form around other stars. By the middle of 2020 the comet will have already zoomed past Jupiter's distance of 500 million miles on its way back into the frozen abyss of interstellar space.
The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between ESA (the European Space Agency) and NASA. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the telescope. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore conducts Hubble science operations. STScI is operated for NASA by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy in Washington, D.C. The Minor Planet Center and the Center for Near-Earth Orbit Studies are projects of NASA’s Near-Earth Object Observations Program of the Planetary Defense Coordination Office at NASA Headquarters.

A wonderful IMAX evening, and let me just say, without spoiling any of the story line pre-release, that the word “stay” in the movie is the perfect setup for the Sentinel Mission.
Astronaut Ed Edward Lu opened with a story of how they would sit on the shuttle roof flying upside down and backwards — a glass-bottom boat screaming across the panoply of thunderstorms crackling like muted fireworks below, while eating freeze-dried spaghetti and waxing philosophic about the fate of the Earth.
The Interstellar movie itself sprinkled so many 2001 Space Odyssey allusions that it makes my head spin. Perhaps it’s inevitable with a long movie that ends with a trippy sunsplashed jaunt of awe and wonder, but the soundtrack remix, obelisk bot, docking to spinning station, and gas-giant flyby (swap Saturn for Jupiter) drove the point home. But it continued right on to the cover image from Arthur C Clarke’s subsequent novel Rendezvous with Rama.
The opening previews were the Trial by Fire promo for the Orion capsule and the B612 Impact Video on how the nuclear test ban treaty sensors have detected 26 explosions over the past 13 years, ranging in energy from 1 to 600 kilotons, and all of them from outer space.
Sentinel Mission will enable us to defend Earth from catastrophic impacts by detecting the possible threats and modeling their trajectories for the next 50-100 years, allowing plenty of time for deflection of dangerous paths.
