This piece of space junk took almost 2 minutes to complete burning up as it entered the atmosphere. This is one of about 6 frames I took of its final moments. During that time it changed colors and finally ended up white as it passed behind the clouds. At first I thought it might be the space station but I have seen it before and it doesn't change color like that as I recall. I will try to stack the photos when I have time to play with my programs.

Space X launched a Falcon 9 from SLC-4 on Vandenberg SFB, California. With a batch of 51 satellites for Starlink mega-constellation.
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.
The Sun reflects off the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) as it is held above the Space Shuttle Discovery's cargo bay by the shuttle's Remote Manipulator System (RMS) robotic arm. A thin slice of Earth's horizon runs across the photograph, taken in 1999 during the third HST servicing mission.

Exploriens: a mid-1990s LEGO Space theme of scientists, intended to be successors to Ice Planet and M:Tron. While those two previous themes were mainly space miners and engineers, the Exploriens were a faction of space paleontologists whose purpose was to scour the astros for alien fossils. A key feature of the Exploriens was their inclusion of special decoder discs made from transparent dishes, which would reveal designs of printed tiles; the tiles contained artwork of fossilized alien bones and eggs. I was a huge fan of these sets, as their vehicle design and color schemes were similar to the 1980s Futurons. And since this theme predated LEGO Group's usage of licensed brands such as Star Wars, I would use Explorien elements to construct replicas of Imperial Star Destroyers and AT-ST walkers!
I'll admit it, they are "odd" and most-likely "used" combinations, but I thought they looked cool. It's basically the blue trooper's (minifig series) armor/arms with the alien trooper (dif minifig series) torso/pants, equipped with a legit short-shot "clone trooper rifle."
Let me know what you think!

I took this pic on a metal surface, causing the reflections.
We walk all day in such wonderful place, it's a day I never forget. I don't even know before that Russia can look like this, we all were on other planet guys.
My father has been scanning old pictures and he emailed me this a few days ago. It shows a very young version of me in the summer of 1989 playing with my monorail and other space sets, as well as a version of set 6971 (Intergalactic command base) that I'd rebuilt in space police colours.
