iss044e045215 --- As if the Milky Way in this photo wasn’t enough, Astronaut Kjell Lindgren captured a lightning strike from space so bright that it lights up the space station’s solar panels.
He posted this on Twitter and Instagram on Sept. 2 saying "Large lightning strike on Earth lights up or solar panels."
The tree seems to be waving to the nice spacemen high above.
Smoke in the valley below is probably not an unusual occurence in the life of this Bristlecone Pine Tree which has perhaps stood on this location for a thousand years. Nor would it be unusual for the tree to witness the passage of million points of light above. But the passage of men in a thin walled tube hurtling 260 miles overhead at in the heavens is a recent occurence.
This is a combination of two shots. One taken early in the evening, one later when the tree was painted with an LED flashlight reflected off of my hand to reduce the blue cast. Each image was 1250 ISO for 1 minute, f/2.8, 14mm.

This is a montage of ISS close up captures, our best to date, from 7th and 11th August passes over our home ;0)
To achieve these shots as soon as the ISS came into our view (West) Simon tracked via the finderscope manually, continuously readjusting to keep in view, I watched on the live view scrn of our DSLR, as the ISS zoomed across the scrn I clicked away! #SpotTheStation
Prime focus single shots, using our Canon 600D attached to our Maksutov 127mm telescope, settings used: Manual Mode, ISO 800, 1/500 & 1/800
We are absolutely thrilled that one of the close ups has been included on the Sky at Nights August viewers gallery!
Thanks Abner Finley for allowing me to use the original picture that he took of my ISS at Brick Fiesta 2016.
Expedition 73 continued exploring how microgravity affects blood flow to help doctors protect crews staying longer in space and traveling farther away from Earth. The International Space Station residents also kept up preparations for an upcoming U.S. cargo mission while maintaining orbital lab systems. But while the astronauts were busy with their science experiments, they also took some time to take a few photos of Earth.
In this image, the city lights of Sub-Saharan Africa streak below the space station as it orbited above the Tanzania-Zambia border in this long-duration photograph. At top right, lightning storms illuminate the cloud tops with the Soyuz MS-27 spacecraft docked to the Prichal module in the foreground.
Keep up with their mission at https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/spacestation/

An amazing role-play SIM with something for everyone. Beloved long-lasting space in my heart for this place, this time this wonderful journey into space of the imagination....yes Savy a wonderful walk down memory lane!
New Triscalia (Planet Tatu)
100% Star Trek RP. The Full on Star Trek Experience. From Academy Cadet to Star Fleet Officer. It's all here. How far will you go?. Real ships, real space, and real people.
Triscalia I
The sun in the Agonian system has gone nova. Forcing the people on Argonia to find a new home.
They did just that. Now settling on the planet Tatu the former Argonians are now Tatuines. As they build and acclamate to a new surrounding, Star Fleet business revs up again. The Academy on Tatu has opened and the space station is fully functional. New adventures await this recoursful lott.
But what awaits them is the question.
I just got word from then man: We're late again!
Yesterday morning I was quite relaxed before Explore hit me hard. I had a vague idea what I wanted to do for the 350th follower, but at 343 that's quite a while to go, no need to do something hasty. Now I'm well beyond 370 with 33 new followers, thanks to having the 3rd place in Explore.
So hello new folks and thanks to my constant followers, bearing with my erratic photographing of everything I deem interesing.

"Every station has its own Sector Three. It's the one that tourists and visitors see first: The neon, the lights, the glamour. There are restaurants everywhere, bars too, a titty joint next to a high class clothing store, loud and annoying holoads that will get your brains drilled unless you have a broadcast blocker in you, the works. Even the corpo cops have their tower there, this is the public face of Cocoon Station, this is what they sell to the system as a happy, and safe place... But underneath all that glamour man, I tell you, one day people are gonna wonder why they other three sectors aren't as glamorous as this one, or why the shadows are darker over there..."
A shot of Cocoon's Sector Three, amazing visuals with amazing ambience.

A series of RAW frames combined in my star stacking application (Advanced Stacker) to create the ISS light streak itself then combine with one later frame for the starry background (to eliminate the star trails) and various other adjustments. #SpotTheStation
The Storm in my looking glass:
A close-up of JB’s face behind the curved glass of the cryo-cocoon. The glass reflects not the room but a "relentless tempest" of swirling dark clouds and lightning, symbolising his churning thoughts. In the storm's reflection, a ghostly older version of JB is visible, trapped and silent, mirroring the pilot's current state.

Guests and astronomers doing some stargazing on a fine summer night at the annual Rothney Observatory Milky Way Nights for July 25, 2019. The light dome from Calgary is at left. This is looking east. The streak is the ISS flying away to the east in a bright overhead pass this night.
A single exposure with the Sony a7 III and 15mm Laowa lens at f/2. A Luminar Flex soft glow effect added.
Just a small detail, the first aid kit has been replaced by a medical robot.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, with the Crew Dragon atop, stands poised for launch at historic Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 21, 2020, ahead of NASA’s SpaceX Demo-2 mission. The rocket and spacecraft will carry NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley to the International Space Station as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program, returning human spaceflight capability to the U.S. after nearly a decade. This will be SpaceX’s final flight test, paving the way for NASA to certify the crew transportation system for regular, crewed flights to the orbiting laboratory. Launch is slated for 4:33 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, May 27. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
The International Space Station – the bright streak – shoots across the Milky Way amid the Summer Triangle stars on May 29, 2017 during one of its several passes this night. Other fainter satellite trails are also visible. Vega is at top, Deneb at left, Altair at right — the three stars of the Summer Triangle.
This is a stack of 3 x 1-minute exposures with the 35mm lens at f/2.2 and Canon 6D at ISO 1250, with the camera on the Star Adventurer Mini tracker. High haze added the natural star glows – no filter was employed. The trail gaps are from the 1 second interval between exposures.
An experimental module attached to the International Space Station is being prepared for upcoming cargo operations. Tiny research satellites were also ejected from the orbital lab while a pair of Expedition 53 crew members scanned their leg muscles today.
The International Space Station rising out of the west over the Rocky Mountains as seen from the Rothney Observatory, on May 27, 2017, with a major display of aurora underway.
As I wrote some (err, a lot of) days ago, I decided to begin a new series of vignettes starring Benny. But I need an appropriate set, so Benny and his robot started to work hard to renovate the space station.
Robot design by Peter Reid (from the "LEGO Space" book): I had to modify something because of my chronic lack of pieces. I added antennas on its head and orange flashing light on the shoulders to give the idea of a heavy-duty robot.
What about the hat (not very visible in this photo, by the way)? It's the typical hat, made by newspaper sheet, that Italian bricklayers used to wear years and years and years ago. I think it's kind of funny, since it's so busy with the renovation.
Hope you enjoy!

Hey all,
Some friends from Innovalug decided to do a space collab, and this one is my part!
I was inspired by the rings around Saturn, and decided to take the idea of a circle and transform it into this spacestation that floats through space around a liquid planet.
I hope you enjoy this build, and for the full collab, check out the Innovalug site!

Shock diamonds form in the wake of a small trading ship as it leaves space-dock at full power. Departures like this were not uncommon. Over staying in the pay-and-display parking could lead to large fines or even having your spacecraft clamped. The ion-drive efflux often damaged the space station.
Tired of re-painting the entry tunnels, the authorities introduced free parking. This led to an economic boom for the station, with traders attracted to the free parking. Sadly, it was occasionally abused by people docking their ships, just to pop to the Post Office next door.
These photos will be explained in Part I of the very short fiction, "Like a Thief In the Night," at Around the Grid.
Curious about Metroplex 17? This photo isn't part of it, though the story is set in the Metroplex universe. Learn more at their blog, or teleport to their welcome center.
An overhead pass of the ISS on October 5, 2017, with the Full Moon rising in the east at left. The ISS is moving from west (at right) to east (at left), passing nearly overhead at the zenith at centre. North is at the top, south at bottom in this fish-eye lens image with an 8mm Sigma fish-eye lens on the Canon 6D MkII camera.
This is a stack of 56 exposures, each 4 seconds long at an interval of 1 second. The increasing apparent speed of the ISS against the background sky as the ISS approaches from the distance out of the west, then decreases as it flies away to the east, creates the dashed trails of different lengths reflecting its change in apparent speed against the star field. The ISS is much closer to us when it is overhead than when it is near the horizon.
At left, the ISS fades to deep red as it enters Earth’s shadow. The stars are trailed over the few minutes of exposures, moving in concentric arcs around Polaris at top.
Taken from home in southern Alberta.
This could be a part of a space station, a giant space ship or any other futuristic construction.
Imagine a starfleet shuttle dashing trough, jedis fighting, Malcolm Reynolds fleeing after a coup, yourself floating through zero gravity ...
You get the idea - free your mind, look at the picture and envision it's story.
(for those who want to know the uninspiring truth:
it's a detail shot of modern architecture rotated ~100° to the left)

Also visible in the middle is the constellation Orion along with the Orion Nebula, the fuzzy pink dot in Orion's belt.
Here is a bit more of a teaser leading up to my SHIP, the Pathfinder 4 (if I can ever bring myself to finishing and shooting it by end of September... Having real trouble with the engine area, the rest I am OK with).
Anyway I had to take a break from the SHIP and built these: Two ancillary craft. The Resnik is a Lander, and the Hadfield is an Orbiter/Command Station.
All set in a near future, say 2047, and a future where NASA has decided to go back to its awesome worm logo.
