This area of Taurus is rich in dark nebulae. On the right is the Barnard 18 complex. With an unknown (to me) lower opacity dark nebula on the left side. This field also shows several reflection nebulae (YSO's) including the larger Bernes 83 in the upper left corner. The FOV shows the two dark nebulae with similar layout but different opacities. This luminance image is part of a mosaic project including data from an earlier post which I will add the stored color information to in the near future. Details: Televue NP127is f5.2 refractor at f4.2 with TV focal reducer; Atik 383L+ at -18 deg C; Orion EQ-G mount;TS OAG; Orion StarShoot guide. camera. Astrodon E series Luminance filter. Total integration 21.5 hours (11.5+10). Taken over seven nights in December 2014 and January 2015.
My son is completely awed by space, planets and stars and his want to know everything has relit my own sometimes almost childish fascination and love of star and planet gazing,
'Space' has come from this enjoyment - To offer the viewer a place to imagine the billion life cycle journey of our own sun... all it has witnessed and all it has created....
The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, with internal convective motion that generates a magnetic field via a dynamo process. It is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth. Its diameter is about 109 times that of Earth, and its mass is about 330,000 times that of Earth, accounting for about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System. About three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen (~73%); the rest is mostly helium (~25%), with much smaller quantities of heavier elements, including oxygen, carbon, neon, and iron.[17]
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) based on its spectral class. As such, it is informally referred to as a yellow dwarf. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of matter within a region of a large molecular cloud. Most of this matter gathered in the center, whereas the rest flattened into an orbiting disk that became the Solar System. The central mass became so hot and dense that it eventually initiated nuclear fusion in its core. It is thought that almost all stars form by this process.
The Sun is roughly middle-aged; it has not changed dramatically for more than four billion years, and will remain fairly stable for more than another five billion years. After hydrogen fusion in its core has diminished to the point at which it is no longer in hydrostatic equilibrium, the core of the Sun will experience a marked increase in density and temperature while its outer layers expand to eventually become a red giant. It is calculated that the Sun will become sufficiently large to engulf the current orbits of Mercury, Venus, and probably Earth.
The enormous effect of the Sun on Earth has been recognized since prehistoric times, and the Sun has been regarded by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Earth and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of the solar calendar, which is the predominant calendar in use today.
Attention to detail front and back with Brass fixings allowing for a flush finish to the wall. Desires Creates Memories has also received fixings top and bottom to allow the owner of this work to have there own preference of hanging this piece.
Emma provides 2 copies of the 'about' with all her pieces, attached to the back in a sleeve... She also sign's her work in a hidden way providing the work with a little something special for the owner of the work to personally enjoy.
Kreltor – I must have been thinking of Forbidden Planet when I started coming up with the names for these Space Quest guys. (I just realized there’s a Commander Adams in the movie, too!) Kreltor didn’t need as much detailing as Adams, but I had to completely paint the cybernetic arm. The upper half came molded in a metallic blue plastic that was just too out of place with the rest of the figure.
More time went into the base for this figure. The grating came from a holder for some sort of closet deodorizer, and the stonework was cut from a vac formed sheet. The grass was made using Durham’s Rock Hard Water Putty, and the chunks of rubble are the same material.
SpaceEngine - A free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets - all available for exploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watch alien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilot starships and atmospheric shuttles.
Amazing near space photo, taken by PolAres balloon "Passepartout" in a height of about 32 km. The darkness of space is really good visible.
A childhood dream come true: This is the Moon Base I would have loved to have when I was a kid: 9×3 baseplates filled with stations, vehicles and spaceships.
20/20: Details (9/9)
That’s it, my Lego Classic Space Generation 1 Moon Base with 27 baseplates. It’s my biggest Lego project so far and really a childhood dream come true :-))

Space 1999 ,indeed very retro n nostagic piece of space art .
It was actually a request from a local who wanted a custom made
platform base and some minor repaint and repair . So I have build
a strong base using very durable teak wood and airbrush it with lacquer paint.

Constructive criticism is always welcome. Thanks for looking!

This build began as a more classic spaceship, and then evolve into this strange thing... well, maybe it's better like that ^^
