ISS031-E-143872 (24 June 2012) --- European Space Agency astronaut Andre Kuipers, Expedition 31 flight engineer, squeezes a water bubble out of his beverage container, showing his image refracted and reflected, on the International Space Station.
This closeup photo shows the lower portion of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) as the giant observatory is berthed in Discovery's cargo bay. The shielded apparatus at the bottom of the frame is the flight support system (FSS), a turntable device similar to a "Lazy Susan" because of its ability to rotate and tilt to assist the upcoming servicing tasks. The image was recorded on Dec. 21, 1999 and was downlinked at the completion of the third HST servicing mission's first spacewalk on the following day by the busy STS-103 astronauts.

The Hubble Space Telescope was carried into orbit by the space shuttle Discovery in April 1990. It is named after the American astronomer Edwin Hubble. Although not the first space telescope, the Hubble is one of the largest and most versatile, and is well-known as both a vital research tool and a public relations boon for astronomy. The telescope is a collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency.
After 19 years in space Hubble is nearing the end of its life, but the STS-125 service mission (that we would witness the launch of the next day) has prolonged its life so that it should continue to provide us with an eye into deep space until the day the next generation telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, is operative.
Space models at BrickFest
on Saturday, March 28, 2009 in Portland, OR by Bill Ward. See also BrickFest Photo Roundup on my blog.
This is a 1:100 scale model of a Commercial Space Station, which we were commissioned to build in 2019. The model features a variety of customized modules, stowage facilities, an airlock, an observatory, a robotic arm and a main solar array. The model is accompanied with replicas of the SpaceX Dragon and Boeing CST-100 supply ships. Later we are going to add to this set a replica of the SpaceX Dragon 2 as well. The model also includes several posed astronaut figurines, designed and customized for us by Mr. Max Grueter.
The model was designed in 3D software, produced by rapid prototyping and manually assembled, painted and decorated.
In this model we implemented the features and technics developed for our models of ISS, which we were building and perfecting since 2008. The model has reliable internal reinforcement system, holding the modules together. Most vulnerable elements are produced from durable materials – metal and nylon. Selected components and supply ships’ replicas have embedded magnets, allowing to reconfigure the station and exercise various docking schemes. The model is mounted with support poles on a black painted base.
The model is designed to be partially disassembled during transport. It is packed in a Pelican heavy duty transit case and can be fast and easily assembled for presentation.
The Seattle Space Needle
Ok, so everyone that comes to Seattle takes a Space Needle shot. I waited for an overcast sunset on what was a rainy day (no, I didn’t have to wait long for these conditions). I wanted some contrast in the sky, something to add pop to the local architectural icon. This is was the shot that resulted.
=====================================================
The Space Needle is a tower in Seattle, Washington. It is a major landmark of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and the symbol of Seattle. Located in Seattle Center, it was built for the 1962 World's Fair, during which time nearly 20,000 people a day used the elevators — 2.3 million visitors in all for the World Fair. The Space Needle is 605 feet (184 m) high and 138 feet (42 m) wide at its widest point and weighs 9,550 tons. When it was completed it was the tallest building west of the Mississippi River.[1] It is built to withstand winds of up to 200 mph (320 km/h) and earthquakes up to 9.5 magnitude (which would protect the structure against an earthquake as powerful as the 1700 Cascadia earthquake) and has 25 lightning rods on the roof to prevent lightning damage.

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.

Sharpless 101 is an emission nebula in Cygnus. Commonly known as the Tulip nebula or Cygnus Star Cloud, it was added to Stewart Sharpless's catalog in 1959. Located about 6000 light-years away, the nebula is located just right of center in the image.
Located in the upper left of the image, NGC 6871 is a small, young open cluster of fewer than 50 stars located around 5100 light-years from Earth.

Saturn's peaceful beauty invites the Cassini spacecraft for a closer look
in this natural color view, taken during the spacecraft's approach to the
planet. By this point in the approach sequence, Saturn was large enough
that two narrow angle camera images were required to capture an end-to-end
view of the planet, its delicate rings and several of its icy moons. The
composite is made entire from these two images.
Moons visible in this mosaic: Epimetheus (116 kilometers, 72 miles
across), Pandora (84 kilometers, 52 miles across) and Mimas (398
kilometers, 247 miles across) at left of Saturn; Prometheus (102
kilometers, 63 miles across), Janus (181 kilometers, 113 miles across)
and Enceladus (499 kilometers, 310 miles across) at right of Saturn.
The images were taken on May 7, 2004 from a distance of 28.2 million
kilometers (17.6 million miles) from Saturn. The image scale is 169
kilometers (105 miles) per pixel. Moons in the image have been brightened
for visibility.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European
Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages
the Cassini-Huygens mission for NASA's Office of Space Science,
Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras, were
designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team is based at
the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.

This inspired from an old Lego System set 6516 called the Moon Walker. I used to have this set when I was a child, playing around with it and pretending my bed is another planet surface.
Anyway, I tried to take the original design concept into my build and modify abit. The color scheme for my space theme is Light Bluish Grey, White and Orange. For my space theme is called 'Zroid' and they are exploring to a made-up planet called 'Axistcata' to collect minerals for their sources of future energy on earth.
Postcard had to include some sort of sewn element. Luckily it did not have to be perfectly rectangular or I would have failed...
The green background is a tyvek sort of material from an old bag - it does not hold up well to ironing! The astronaut and Saturn snippets are from the era when C-boy was obsessed with space; the gold strip is a scrap leftover from my Halloween cape. Stamp from stash.
Swapbot: That's SEW cool! (Handmade Postcard Club group)
this module has connecable air locks a landing pad with incomming ship and is under seige by a alien creature.
I took inspirtion from Dune and Star Wars for the ground dwelling creature.

This month's Space Exploration for Bright Metallic!
The beasts keep coming, no one knows how they get to other planets. All we know, is that they are hungry, and humanity is on the menu.
This was my very first close up view of the Space Needle after being in Seattle at least a dozen times. It was a dreary overcast day.
The astronaut was an impulse add on for my Target purchase. She's adorable. The MTM AA Soccer player was $7.97 at Walmart online
