Nestled among the vast clouds of star-forming regions like this one lie potential clues about the formation of our own solar system.
This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope features AFGL 5180, a beautiful stellar nursery located in the constellation of Gemini (the Twins).
At the center of the image, a massive star is forming and blasting cavities through the clouds with a pair of powerful jets, extending to the top right and bottom left of the image. Light from this star is mostly escaping and reaching us by illuminating these cavities, like a lighthouse piercing through the storm clouds.
Stars are born in dusty environments and although this dust makes for spectacular images, it can prevent astronomers from seeing stars embedded in it. Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) instrument is designed to capture detailed images in both visible and infrared light, meaning that the young stars hidden in vast star-forming regions like AFGL 5180 can be seen much more clearly.

This build is my first major build for about a year and a half, so diving back into my hobby I chose to build something have much affection for: a racer from the racing game series Wipeout. I've built several Wipeout racers before, but since the latest addition Wipeout 2048 I've been dying to recreate one of the sleek ships that blend present-day racecars with the futuristic ships of the previous Wipeout games. However, only recently have I acquired enough red pieces to tackle a build of such scale. I wanted to include custom decals for the sponsors and logos on the ship, but being a purist I opted for strictly brick-built details.
Australian wombat***Vombatus ursinus hirsutus
Wombats are among the largest digging living mammals ever. With their sharp claws, they build living caves in the Earth, which can extend to complex tunnel systems. These caves can be up to 20 meters long and 3.5 meters deep. If the action spaces overlap, these can be inhabited at different times by different Wombats. They are mainly nocturnal, during the day they rest in their construction, in the twilight and at night they go looking for food.

Nicht oft zu sehen, sie sind nachtaktiv
Wombats zählen zu den größten grabend lebenden Säugetieren überhaupt. Mit ihren scharfen Krallen errichten sie Wohnhöhlen in der Erde, welche sich auch zu komplexen Tunnelsystemen ausweiten können. Diese Höhlen können bis zu 20 Meter lang sein und 3,5 Meter tief liegen. Wenn sich die Aktionsräume überlappen, können diese zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten von verschiedenen Wombats bewohnt werden. Sie sind überwiegend nachtaktiv, tagsüber ruhen sie in ihrem Bau, in der Dämmerung und nachts gehen sie auf Nahrungssuche.

I made this a few years ago (2016 I think.) A couple days ago when I was looking for something SciFi I found it again. A bit of manip in Photoshop yesterday and this is what came out...

The Devils Spring System has several springs in its short run to the Sante Fe River. The caverns of its spring heads are very popular for cave diving. It is but one of numerous springs that can be accessed at Ginnie Springs, a private campground located outside of High Springs, FL.

Kodak Pony 135 (model c)
Kodak APS 400 (expired)
May 2020
My latest attempt at using the Kodak Pony 135 creatively: Shoot a roll of APS film though it. Why not?
I was given a roll of expired (no clue how old) APS film and decided to try shooting it through the pony. I pulled the film out of the APS cartridge and wound it back into a 135 cartridge and taped it to a 35mm leader to help get the film started. I knew this would work since the pony's shutter isn't connected to the film advance.
Do to the covid crisis I don't have access to the Nikon film scanner I usually use, so I have been doing DSLR scanning. This works well for BW and E6 film, but c41 film is much harder due to me lacking software like negative lab pro. So, its hard for me to know if the weird colors here are due to the film or my lack of competence in getting nice positives from DSLR scanned c41 film. Either way, I am glad to share another fun thing you can do with the Kodak Pony 135.
Thanks again to the film lab at Gene's Camera in South Bend, IN, in this case especially for accomodating such an unconventional request and still only charging me $5.

JAS 'Rainbow Triple', right side.
An early Boeing 777 (Line No:45), this aircraft was delivered to JAS Japan Air System as JA8977 in Dec-96. JAS was merged into JAL Japan Airlines new 'Domestic' division in Apr-04.
In Oct-06 the domestic division was merged into Japan Airlines International and in Apr-11 the 'International' was dropped from the titles and the company became Japan Airlines once again.
The aircraft was withdrawn from service in Jan-20 and stored at Tokyo - Haneda. It was ferried to Victorville, CA, USA in Aug-20 for further storage.
In Sep-20 it was sold to the Midwest Aviation Group and moved to Kansas City, MO, USA where it was permanently retired. The aircraft was transferred to Alta Airlines Holdings in Nov-20 and is being used as a spares source. Updated 28-Aug-22.

I did this because all the equipment involved was cheap and easy to get, but it sucked. It wasn't worth it. Here's my blog post about it.
The long white structures that look something like matchsticks are the male part of the flower called the stamen. The top of the stamen release pollen which is caught is the golden, hooked stigma in the hairy cone above the stamen. The pollen is then fed down to the purple ovaries below. At the beginning of the fertilization cycle the ovaries are encased in ranks of stamen which can be seen on the right side of the image. When seeds are formed, the stamen fall off which can be seen in the next image, Magnolia 3. (#2 of 3)
