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.)

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.

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.
Well were back up and that was a Very LONNNNNG Time to be down with Flickr!!!!!
I don't know if you all had as much trouble as I did getting it to come back on but It's back and we resume and I'm glad to be able to see all the amazing pictures you've taken!!! :D
Designed to swoop down from space to a planetary surface, hover and disgorge a squad of space marines into the heart of battle; the IFHV is equipped with dual cannons to secure the landing site during decent and support the troops when on the ground.
When I was a teenager I built plastic models of tanks, and I’ve always retained a soft spot them so decided to build a sci-fi armoured vehicle out of LEGO. I came up with the idea of a sort of Higgins-boat-in-space which would “hover” from the ramp at the front (long before the whole tensegrity thing…) via a mechanism concealed in the base that allows the angle to be tweaked to prevent it drooping. Quite pleased with that as well as the camouflage scheme and the landscape on the diorama.
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 : )
