Square spaceness - designed by Alessandra Lamio, folded by me.
Paper: 15cm of elephant hide. I recommend a stiff paper for this model (i got the hint, but didn't believe it - i guess i just wanted to fail myself :D ) elephant hide works great. I really like this model for its simplicity, the creasepattern is quite easy, it has nice references and is nice to collapse even though it is 3d, but it still has a great outcome! i wanted to fold this model for a long time, but only recently finished it. If you want to try it too, you can find the cp here: www.flickr.com/photos/56923821@N08/16005584426/in/datepos...
Hope you like it ;) ~Stefan
Open-Air Stage Wolkenturm in the garden of Grafenegg Castle, Lower Austria
In 2007, the centuries-old architectural landscape of Grafenegg was enhanced by the addition of an open-air stage, which slots into the landscaped gardens like a giant pavilion. The building, designed by architects Marie-Therese Harnoncourt and Ernst J. Fuchs stands in a natural hollow and harmonises perfectly with its surroundings.
The Wolkenturm is a sculpture which ranges a good 15 metres into the sky, level with the tops of the highest trees, and offers an unexpected view from a range of different perspectives. Here, on the eastern side of the park, the viewer finds a reciprocal relationship between culture and nature. Slanting, unaligned windows fill the arena with light and give an impression of natural airiness. From the seating stands, which have space for 1,730 concertgoers, the view is of the historic castle in its romantic setting.
The shell-shaped open-air stage enjoys excellent acoustics. The Wolkenturm was awarded the Building Prize of Lower Austria in 2007.
And in this moment when I post this pic I see the first Midsummer Night’s Gala in TV.
As soloists the Swedish mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter, the multiple award-winning young trumpeter Alison Balsom and Rudolf Buchbinder guarantee an atmospheric and varied start to the season in Grafenegg. They will be accompanied by the Tonkunstler Orchestra under its Music Director Andrés Orozco-Estrada.
Believe me, it´s a dream!!
La aguja espacial fue construída para la Feria Mundial de 1962 convirtiéndose en la estructura más alta de la costa oeste. Desde entonces se ha convertido en símbolo de la ciudad. Esa especie de palmera neón es parte de los jardines de cristal, Chihuly Garden and Glass, y las luces creo que no son internas.
Astronomers have uncovered a near-record breaking supermassive black hole in an unlikely place: in the center of a galaxy in a sparsely populated area of the universe. The observations, made by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the Gemini Telescope in Hawaii, may indicate that these monster objects may be more common than once thought. via NASA ift.tt/1UWtvRX
Samuel Oschin Air & Space Center in LA's Science Center has a new temporary guest named as Space Shuttle Endeavour, until its permanent home is built.
Endeavour came back to California, where it was born, on Oct 12, 2012.
The orbiter Vehicle traveled 125 million miles and completed 25 missions into space, including the first service mission to the Hubble Space Telescope and the first mission to add a U.S.-built component to the International Space Station.

The Meteor Interceptor is the workhorse of the Space Aces Starfleet, flying escort duty, scouting missions, and dogfights. With a pair of souped up engines, twin laser cannons, and an Ace pilot at the controls, "Lucky 13" is a force to be reckoned with.

NGC 2903, a barred spiral galaxy located 30 million light-years away in Leo. My color-composite of Hubble observations made in visible and near-IR wavelengths on Jan. 9, 2021 (PI Janice Lee).
This galaxy is about the same size across as our Milky Way: around 100,000 light-years.
People with their dogs, spread thin across a generous stretch of beach. Space does most of the talking here.
What holds my attention is the scale. Small human figures, purposeful dogs, and a long, low horizon that keeps everything in balance. The city sits back, present but restrained, letting the openness breathe. Movement without urgency, companionship without fuss.
A simple arrangement of land, sky, people, and animals, each given room to be themselves.
In this photo, Paloma Rubio of Northrop Grumman is installing flight thermal blankets on the structure that supports the James Webb Space Telescope's secondary mirror in a clean room at Northrop Grumman, Redondo Beach, California. The strings, which are shown hanging down in this image, are called lacing cords, and they are used to tie the blankets to the struts. Why are the blankets tied on with lacing cords? Tying the blankets on allows them to be securely attached, while allowing enough room for them to shrink and move as Webb goes through the movements and temperature changes that will occur during its trip from Earth to its home in space, a million miles away. This technique also makes certain that the blankets are secure without using exposed adhesive for attaching the blankets. It’s cleaner for the telescope optics to not use a sticky adhesive nearby their pristine surfaces.
Because the blankets are tied (and also sewn on), team members working on the thermal blankets are one of the most unique groups of people working on Webb. They often have backgrounds that have included tailoring and costume making, prior to work in the aerospace industry.

Take the rather dull escape pod thingy from the Man of Steel sets, add some legs and you get an awesome walker!
I build this for LegoIdeas Activity.
Here is a link: Space Mining Rover
And it fits for Febrovery also.
I'm actually proud of this one, though it took me 5 minutes.
My favorite part is the blue bead. Tell me your favorite part!

Station that I started for shiptember but ran out of time. I'm happy to have had the time to finish it properly though and reveal it at Brickomanie 2019
Space Shuttle Endeavour on display at the California Science Center in Exposition Park, Los Angeles.
This is a composite shot of 4 images to capture all the space of this majestic area in Yosemite. This was last night in Yosemite Valley during a Super Moon, where the Moon is full and at it's closest approach to the Earth during it's orbits. The hope was to capture a rainbow that occurs only a few times a year when all the elements come together. Unfortunately this year we got the moon and the clear skies but there was just not enough mist at the base of the upper falls to produce much of a rainbow. Hopefully next year!
It was a blast thought because there were several hundred photographers all over the valley trying to capture this special event...they definitely outnumbers all the other wildlife out there this night!!!!
Great to see ALL my Flickr friends that all defended in the valley for the show!
What's Florida without a visit to the Kennedy Space Center? Ah, to dream... Barring the Russian Soyuz and Mars One programs, it was really the closest and only way I could get into low Earth orbit! (+ permission from my wife!)
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) logo was approved by President Eisenhower in 1959, and slightly modified by John F. Kennedy in 1961. Kennedy's portrait seen here engraved in the granite in the background left.

Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
I'm a nightmare dressed as a daydream.
Built for the Lego contest to make a free small giveaway set using only standard town/creator/CMF parts.
A small build that is a tribute to the small space sets from the early to mid 90s that I loved so much in my childhood. I thought I'd done quite well as its very sturdy, all legal connections and common parts and so could actually be made by them, but then remembered I'd used the Technic drive ring as engines... I'm sure they can be substituted!
As an aside, I have a few more builds coming in this colour scheme...

BUILD your own Space Racer and FLY through checkpoints, maneuver around asteroids, and grab powerups as you race towards victory!
You can mix-and-match the cockpit, wings, and thrusters of your Space Racer, and watch your own creation in action as you race against three AI opponents! The white triangle crosshair guides you to the checkpoints that you must pass. Hold the left mouse button to accelerate, move the mouse to steer, and click the right mouse button or press the spacebar to use a powerup. There are two types of powerups: Boosts and Lasers. Boosts make you faster, and lasers can stun opponents in front of you. Watch out: the competition can use powerups too!
