Florida East Coast (FEC) ES44C4 no. 802 and GP40-2 no. 416 are seen leading a northbound train through Cocoa as the sun rises over the Space Coast.
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.

Hullbull Remote Space Telescope flies again. Recent test shot from a quick trip to a Wolf–Rayet star in Abell 262.
Two lensless refraction burns (red and blue), add 100mm lens for two glass plate macro burns (yellow lighting/white water color pigment/glycerin for 'dust' nebula/pollen plate for starz additions, swap to 50mm at f4 for single blue diffracted star/10s real sky for more background stars.

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.
this is not a store. here I will put something that was created by me or my partner.
if you like anything, please feel free to take it home. I am very happy if you can feel at home here.
please send a note card to maclane mills,maclane cioc or marimari yuitza if you have anything. the answer might be delayed since the log-in time is not consistent, but I will answer it without fail.

Fearless Fred, the featherlight astronaut, displays a slight hint of trepidation as he waits atop the latest SLS - Silk Launch Shuttle - at Cape Fearsome, for blast-off.
He is on a mission to the International Space Station for a unique and momentous congratulatory handshake with Brit astronaut Tim Peake, who I am sure will be tickled pink by the experience : )

NASA image captured September 26, 2011
Many aurora appear green, but sometimes — as in this image from the International Space Station — other colors such as red can appear. The colors depend on which atoms are causing the splash of light seen in the aurora. In most cases, the light comes when a charged particle sweeps in from the solar wind and collides with an oxygen atom in Earth’s atmosphere. This produces a green photon, so most aurora appear green. However, lower-energy oxygen collisions as well as collisions with nitrogen atoms can produce red photons -- so sometimes aurora also show a red band as seen here.

This is a shot from back in June when Bry and I took a trip down to central Utah to explore the desert and find some interesting places to shoot the Milky Way. It seems like each night we were down there we had incredible airglow, sometimes overwhelming in the images we took. We found this interesting wind blown rock formation with lots of little nooks and holes eroded in a petrified sand dune, so we decided to put some small LED light balls in the holes to add an interesting light element to the shot. Clouds starting rolling in as I was taking my sky pictures, typical, but the airglow was so intense you can barely see the Milky Way anyways. All in all a cool place to shoot with a beautiful night sky to match.
カラデは究極の格闘術だ。カラデにおいては全方位の攻撃は基本であり、特に正拳突きは背後をのぞく広範囲を制する。同様にカラデには通常格闘技では想定されない真上ならび真下への技も存在する。
異星人や異能の者との戦闘を想定した格闘術は人類史上皆無であった。唯一、カラデだけがそれらに対処可能な初の近接格闘術となる。
