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.

"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.

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)
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.
It's Christmas time and our Space Cadets and their robot friends are having a blast playing around the tree and drinking hot chocolate (synthetic gear oil for the robots... they don't appreciate chocolate that much).

When I saw the ugly sweaters that came in the City advent calendar and the Christmas Tree I knew that I had to make a themed room for my Classic Space space station. Hope you guys enjoy it.
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!

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!
My sigfig went all the way up to Benny's space station to delivery an invitation to our event " Mattoncini all'ombra del torrazzo". Will Benny and Mr. Robot join the party?

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.

International Space Station transiting the sun yesterday afternoon. Took just over half a second to cross (.62)
Me and the horse flies loved it!

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.

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.

I was rather surprised to see it made from the humble material of canvas, but impressed with the zips and clips.
One Canadian on Earth gazing skyward at another Canadian in space! Here I am looking skyward at the passage of the International Space Station, with Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques newly on board, having arrived with his fellow Expedition 58 crew members the day before on a Soyuz rocket.
The ISS here appears in a set of time exposures as a streak across the sky, with the streak broken as it went in and out of clouds and with gaps from the one second interval between exposures. That gap also adds the mottled or herringbone effect to the moving clouds. The stars (and Mars to the south) are all slightly trailed as well.
The timing of this passage early in the evening meant that the entire pass of the ISS was visible and illuminated by sunlight. The ISS was still in daylight. Any later and the ISS would have faded out at some point along its path as it entered Earth’s shadow and went into night.
This view is looking south but the ISS passed just north of overhead. West is to the right, so the ISS passed from right to left in this scene and is flying away at left.
This is a stack of twenty 10-second exposures at 1-second intervals, with the Sigma 8mm fish-eye lens at f/3.5 and Canon 6D Mark II at ISO 800, taken on a pass beginning at 5:35 p.m. MST on December 4, 2018. Stacked in Photoshop with Maximum stack mode, with a final shot with me in frame layered and masked in. Taken from home in southern Alberta.

Expedition 35 Flight Engineers Chris Cassidy (pictured) and Tom Marshburn (out of frame) completed a spacewalk at 2:14 p.m. EDT May 11, 2013 to inspect and replace a pump controller box on the International Space Station’s far port truss (P6) leaking ammonia coolant. The two NASA astronauts began the 5-hour, 30-minute spacewalk at 8:44 a.m.
A leak of ammonia coolant from the area near or at the location of a Pump and Flow Control Subassembly was detected on Thursday, May 9, prompting engineers and flight controllers to begin plans to support the spacewalk. The device contains the mechanical systems that drive the cooling functions for the port truss.

The Chinese space station obviously is just circling about 335 kms above the Earth in an out-of-control descending orbit, and only appears above the Milky Way from my perspective.
