Go North West has recently introduced newer buses on its 52 and 53 routes, representing a huge upgrade for two important bus routes which connect many of our city's suburbs. The 52 runs from Failsworth to Salford Shopping City and the intu Trafford Centre, whilst the 53 - Manchester’s oldest unchanged bus route - takes an orbital circuit of the city, connecting Cheetham Hill with North Manchester General Hospital, Blackley, Harpurhey, Sportcity, Gorton, Belle Vue, Longsight, Rusholme, Salford Quays and Pendleton.
There's a brand new gift available at the store and marketplace. The Orbit necklace and bracelets set comes in 3 metal and 3 pearls colors.

Über der Piazza des K21 schwebt in über 25 Metern Höhe die riesige Rauminstallation in orbit des Künstlers Tomás Saraceno. Das begehbare Kunstwerk ist eine Konstruktion aus beinahe transparenten Stahlnetzen, die in drei Ebenen unter der gewaltigen Glaskuppel aufgespannt sind. In der 2.500 Quadratmeter umfassenden Netzstruktur sind fünf luftgefüllte "Sphären", gewaltige Ballons, platziert.
Die Installation wirkt wie eine surreale Landschaft, ein Wolkenmeer oder wie der Kosmos mit seinen scheinbar schwerelos schwebenden Planeten. Besucher sind eingeladen, die Installation zu betreten und kletternd für sich zu entdecken. Die Wagemutigen nehmen die Museumsbesucher in der Tiefe aus luftiger Höhe wie winzige Figuren in einer Modellwelt wahr. Umgekehrt erscheinen die Menschen im Netz von unten wie Schwebende oder Schwimmer am Himmel.
Wenn mehrere Personen gleichzeitig die Installation betreten, geraten die Netze in Bewegung – die Spannung der Stahlseile und der Abstand der drei schwankenden Netzebenen verändert sich unwillkürlich. Der Raum in der Schwebe wird so zu einem schwingenden Netz von Beziehungen, Resonanzen und einander bedingender Kommunikation.
Die Besucher nehmen, ähnlich wie eine Spinne im Netz, die anderen Menschen durch Vibrationen wahr. Dies verdeutlicht das Interesse des Künstlers an neuen hybriden, über die herkömmlichen Möglichkeiten des Menschen hinausgehenden Formen von Kommunikation und Kooperation, die er in seinem Berliner Atelier untersucht.

Above the piazza of the K21 hovers the huge installation in orbit of the artist Tomás Saraceno in more than 25 meters height. The walk-in artwork is a construction of almost transparent steel nets spanned in three levels under the huge glass dome. In the 2,500 square meter network structure, five air-filled "spheres", huge balloons, are placed.
The installation looks like a surreal landscape, a sea of clouds or the cosmos with its seemingly weightless floating planets. Visitors are invited to enter the installation and climb for themselves. The daredevils perceive museum visitors in the depths from lofty heights like tiny figures in a model world. Conversely, people in the net from below appear as hovers or swimmers in the sky.
If several people enter the installation at the same time, the nets get moving - the tension of the steel cables and the distance between the three fluctuating network levels changes involuntarily. The suspended space thus becomes an oscillating network of relationships, resonances and interdependent communication.
Similar to a spider in the web, visitors perceive other people through vibrations. This illustrates the artist's interest in new hybrid forms of communication and cooperation that go beyond the traditional possibilities of man and that he examines in his Berlin studio.

People's Republic of Catland Orbital Network
The war is going on on all continents! Where there is no direct clashes, special forces forces covertly operate. The oceans of the planet are teeming with warships. Armadas of warplanes filled the sky. How do we manage it all? How do we understand what's going on? Who is a friend? Who is the enemy? Where's that damn B11 gone again?
Catland's Air Force deployed an orbiting satellite constellation. It includes spacecraft created on a single platform: "Cat's Ear" communications satellite, "Cat's Eye" multispectral optical reconnaissance satellite and "Light of Terrus" special satellite of the Holy Inquisition.
In addition to the tasks of reconnaissance, communications and destruction, all devices are aimed at finding and destroying the notorious "Damocles" station in order to end the strife between nations and put an end to the horrors of war with one precise strike of the "Light of Terrus".

ESA’s new Sun exploring spacecraft Solar Orbiter launched atop the US Atlas V 411 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 04:03 GMT (05:03 CET) on 10 February 2020. An ESA-led mission with strong NASA participation, Solar Orbiter will look at some of the never-before-seen regions of the Sun, such as the poles, and attempt to shed more light on the origins of solar wind, which can knock out power grids on the ground and disrupt operations of satellites orbiting the Earth. The spacecraft will take advantage of the gravitational pull of Venus to adjust its orbit to obtain unprecedented views of the solar surface.

A digital art creation, consisting of five layers, at varying opacities. No photographic input.
Thanks for all views, comments and fave adds.
I have always been a big fan of symmetry so when I saw this shot in my view, I just had to take it. When you have a sky that looks like this, you definitely have to take the shot. I talk about this a lot; It's nice to have a clear blue sky in your photos but it's even better to have some really nice puffy clouds as well. Don't you agree? Have a magical day!

These fabulous lights are called "Macchina della Luce" and are, of course, Italian, by Catellani & Smith.
The artwork visible in the center is called: Electric Dub Station (Orbital Ignition) by Antonio Jose Guzman and Iva Jankovic (2018).
I overdubbed the original image to make it look more orbital using GIMP.

Sometimes, not often, I feel a bit overwhelmed by all of the color here.....so monochrome it is!

This is Orbit.
It is wonderful.
It may not look wonderful, but then first impressions can be misleading and it’s what’s inside that counts. Or something. Not that he has much inside.
Anyway, this is a crazy rollercoaster-esque structure built within the Olympic park and offering a view over the surrounding area, including a little bit into the stadium itself. It’s meant to be a legacy build, which means now that the Olympics are over this should remain as a viewing platform/work of art for the foreseeable future. It’ll still cost £15 to get up it, I’m sure.

Class 378 unit number 213 is caught crossing the River Lea in some evening sunshine passing the Arcelor Mittal Orbit and West Hams Stadium in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. She was working the 1829 Clapham to Stratford which travels across the North London Line which is very much different from the days when I last crossed it from Richmond to Broad Street on an old Class 501.
Da Bearz Orbital Network. It features 3 different classes of satellites:
(1) Communication (top satellite)
(2) Spy (lower right, nicknamed "Eye of Belichick")
(3) Hunter-Killer (lower left, nicknamed "Danimal")
All satellites are equipped with 4 pairs of maneuvering thrusters and some type of weapon system (see the individual satellite photos for more details.

I took a lot of shots of the Orbit when we went to the Paralympics so I've had to resist the urge to upload them in bulk!

Tomorrow’s orbit today? This image shows how a large solar sail-equipped satellite could partly offset Earth’s and the Sun’s gravity with the slight but steady pressure of sunlight to hover above the Arctic or Antarctic, enabling continuous coverage of high-latitude regions for climate observation or regional communication services.
“Standard space missions employ conventional elliptical ‘Keplerian’ orbits,” comments Colin McInnes, Professor of Engineering Science at the UK’s University of Glasgow.
“However, our VisionSpace project has been investigating novel families of orbits and space systems across a broad range of sizes that could make use of additional factors such as solar radiation pressure, air drag or gravitational interactions.
“The space systems range from microscale applications such as satellite swarms and dust clouds, to mesoscale large deployable space webs and solar sails, all the way up to macroscale solutions such as asteroid capture
VisionSpace was a five-year project ending in 2014 to research space system engineering across the extremes of size, funded by the European Research Council.
Prof. McInnes, who oversaw the project while at the University of Strathclyde, was recently invited to ESA’s ESTEC technical centre by the Agency’s Advanced Concepts Team to highlight the project’s findings.
The ACT is tasked with peering beyond the horizon of current space projects. Further information on ESA's activities concerning Earth's polar regions can be found on the ESA Space for Earth website.

This representation of the Solar System is another glass globe etched by laser. Unfortunately the planets are represented by circles of dots.
I think it looks a bit better with clone stamp editing in of the photos of the planets, however they are not to scale, please forgive me.
