Seattle, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 2024
The Space Needle is Seattle's most recognizable structure, an architectural landmark built for the 1962 World's Fair, designed to embody the optimism and aspirations of the Space Age of the 1960s.
1. History and Design
Origin: It was conceived by hotel executive Edward E. Carlson, who sketched his initial idea on a napkin in 1959, inspired by a broadcast tower with a restaurant in Stuttgart, Germany.
World's Fair: It served as the center piece for the 1962 World's Fair (Century 21 Exposition), themed "The Age of Space."
Architecture: Its futuristic design, featuring three slender steel legs and a "flying saucer" shaped top, was completed in a record 400 days. The structure was engineered to withstand winds up to 200 mph and earthquakes up to 9.0 magnitude.
Height: The tower stands 605 feet (approximately 184 meters) tall, with its saucer-shaped "top house" at about 520 feet.
2. Visitor Experience
Panoramic Views: The top of the tower offers visitors 360-degree panoramic indoor and outdoor views of Downtown Seattle, Mount Rainier, Puget Sound, and the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges.
The Loupe (Rotating Glass Floor): Following major renovations, the top now features The Loupe, the world's first and only revolving glass floor on an observation tower, which reveals previously hidden views of the structure and the city below. This level also includes The Loupe Lounge, a cocktail and culinary experience.
Outdoor Observation Deck: The upper level also features an outdoor observation deck surrounded by all-glass barriers (installed during the renovation) for unobstructed views.

When I was a kid, space held a lot of enigmatic attraction for me. So much so that for a brief period of time I was certain I was going to be an astronaut. Space still carried immense attraction for me until a month ago.
Now? Now I hate Space so much I don't think there is another word in the English language, in any dimension, that I hate more.
Space -- it gave me a lot of heartache, and it might cost me my faith.
(I have never been to outer space -- not yet. This image was captured in a planetarium where I just went to capture a shot of the outer space. Yes, I work hard for my images. They hold more meaning to me that you can ever surmise.)
I took the H-Alpha and Oxygen-III data back in July and then I forgot about it, but last night I took the Sulfur-II data and here's the final composition! Exposure times are quite a mess:
Ha - 36x600s at -15ºC
OIII - 30x600s at -15ºC
SII - 30x300s at -20ºC

Baader Ha, OIII and SII filter
TS80 Triplet Apo with x0.79 reducer
NEQ6 Pro II Modified mount with autoguiding
Hell of a view, with no one to see it. We destroy nature for our own use, and then when we had enough of it, we just leave it there, scarred and suffering..

This is just a bus. It has no guns, it does not transform, not even a smallest piece of science equipement. But it will surely get you to your space job!
I needed a quick build inbetween more "serious" ones where I end up placing about 10 bricks in one hour, working to get some shape right. This in turn was initially done in about 3 hours and then +1 hour on redesign and applying... a trick. Can you spot something unusual on this build?

This panorama of the International Space Station is a wider view of what ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano was capturing on camera during the first of a series of historic spacewalks that took place in November 2019.
Author, journalist and researcher Lee Brandon-Cremer created this photo by stitching together three images taken by Luca as he made his way to the worksite during the first Extravehicular Activity or EVA to service the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), the Station’s dark matter detector.
"For every spacewalk there are thousands of images taken. Sometimes a few images jump out at me,” he explains. “One day I realised I could stitch these images together to expand the scene and show what the astronaut sees in a broader sense.”
To create this view, Lee first went looking for images with common points. This proved tricky: of the 1000 or so images he scanned, he found three that could be worked into two expanded photos of the Space Station.
He then joined and lightly edited the images to create a smooth photograph, a technique referred to as “stitching”.
In the final image you can see the white panel radiators that keep the Space Station cool. The spacecraft on the left is a Soyuz. On the right is the Kibo module, with Japanese flag visible. The Space Station is flying to the right in this picture.
Nowadays we are spoiled for space imagery. From satellites circling the Earth and spacecraft taking selfies to astronaut snaps from the International Space Station, there is no shortage of photographs at which to marvel – and they are easy to access.
Aside from the critical role these images play in aiding scientific studies of Earth, the Solar System and outer space, they are important tools for science communication and public engagement.
One advantage of space imagery made public is how it engages citizen scientists and students all over the world. Take two projects as examples:
Cities at Night asks residents to identify major cities at night as seen by astronauts from the Space Station to help map out and combat light pollution. The Climate Detectives school project tasks students with investigating a local climate problem and proposing a solution by studying Earth observation satellite imagery.
For others like Lee, the images are a source of inspiration and creativity.
“It’s truly thrilling for me to recreate these broader views and it makes me wonder how many more unique views like this one captured by Luca are hiding in space agency archives,” Lee adds.

Jenny found some space crokus and wants to take a sample to compare them with those back on earth. Neither aliens nor a superior in sight, so she flips out her space shovel and does what she loves most: gardening.

Hey everyone! I am extremely excited to bring you this image finally, I have the opportunity of being featured on Fstoppers.com today, and have been patiently waiting to release the image and interview together! This photo means so much to me and is a huge reflection on my childhood, but rather than me trying to type out the meaning, check out my interview and behind the scenes below:

Special thanks to Mike Wilkinson for offering to do the fstoppers piece on me and Carolyn McCarthy, a fellow photographer that let me photograph her adorable kids. Check them out as well!
Space Flower by Joanne Risley at Beaulieu Estate Sculpture Exhibition.
From the artist's page:
" Space Flower" is the third of a group of outdoor sculptures I created in response to the geo-political situation we find ourselves in. This geometric Cor-ten steel sculpture was inspired by exotic flowers and space craft. It has a "transformer" like appearance and makes me think of spyware and bots.
