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.

Their light has travelled for approximately 11–12.4 billion years to reach us. These false-colour maps reveal dust emission in the four ALESS galaxies and ionised carbon emission ([C II]) in BRI 1335-0417.
Estimated present-day distances:
• ALESS 112.1 — 18.7 billion light-years
• ALESS 15.1 — 20.8 billion light-years
• ALESS 17.1 — 19.7 billion light-years
• ALESS 76.1 — 22.4 billion light-years
• BRI 1335-0417 — 24.8 billion light-years
These approximate distances are inferred from published redshifts using a standard cosmological model. Cosmic expansion makes them greater than the distances suggested by light-travel time alone. ALESS 15.1 has a less certain, photometric redshift estimate.

Sometimes I have the impression that the screenshot from Lego Studio program looks better than the render.
You don't expect realistic view there, but in render You expect, and You spot all unrealistic things on the image instantly.
I started to like rendering digital lego, but I see a lot of custom work is needed to make them better (if possible, some research is needed too, but I see some people managed to make renders better).
This is part of my build for Lego Ideas Activity, I will post later full scene.
Its amazing what can be done…
A little space
A little paint
A little time
A lot of imagination
"The parking meters line the street connecting four blocks between the Virginia Beach Convention Center to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront in a unique and engaging manner that showcases the talents of local creatives. It’s the perfect pairing of fun and function," said Kate Pittman, executive director of the ViBe Creative District nonprofit.
In 2020, around 50 standard gray meters were added, and now, artists plan to transform them with new colors and imagery.
“This project has been in the works for several years as a creative placemaking tool to further distinguish 19th St as the primary corridor in the arts district,” said Pittman.
Nina Goodale, Virginia Beach's Public Art and Placemaking Coordinator says the painted parking meters are a small part of a bigger movement to spread public art all across Hampton Roads.
“When you look at Virginia Beach and cities and communities across the country, where you see art you see economic development and community building follow in tow,” said Goodale.
Of 31 artists who applied for the project, the following 10 were selected:
John Austin, Virginia Beach
Mackenzie Gang, Virginia Beach
Daniel Goodman, Richmond
Kiera Gregg, Virginia Beach
Chris Jones, Virginia Beach
Summer Paradiso, Virginia Beach
Eva Rovillos, Virginia Beach
Carla Ryan, Virginia Beach
Corinna Sayward, Virginia Beach
Kelsey Witt, Norfolk

Saturn's moon Prometheus casts a long shadow across the A ring in the middle-right side of this Cassini spacecraft image taken shortly before the planet's August 2009 equinox.Prometheus (86 kilometers, or 53 miles across) orbits in the Roche Division between the thin F ring and the A ring. The novel illumination geometry created around the time of Saturn's August 2009 equinox allows out-of-plane structures and moons orbiting in or near the plane of Saturn's equatorial rings to cast shadows onto the rings. These scenes are possible only during the few months before and after Saturn's equinox, which occurs only once in about 15 Earth years. To learn more about this special time and to see movies of moons' shadows moving across the rings, see PIA11651 and PIA11660.This view looks toward the northern, unilluminated side of the rings from about 31 degrees above the ringplane. Many stars are visible. The rings and stars have been brightened by a factor six relative to Prometheus to enhance visibility.The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 29, 2009. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 1.4 million kilometers (870,000 miles) from Prometheus and at a sun-Prometheus-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 93 degrees. Image scale is 9 kilometers (6 miles) per pixel.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 mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.For more information about the Cassini-Huygens mission visit saturn.jpl.nasa.gov.
