Recent Lightroom edit of a shot from my 2013 Rt 66 Road Trip. Marshfield, MO Quarter Scale Model of Hubble Telescope. The Hubble Telescope was named in honor of Edwin Powell Hubble, an astronomer from Marshfield.
I take this picture of the transit’s ISS passing front of the Sun Thursday, February 16 2017 12h27 pm at Mimbaste southwest city in France.
The preparation for this image was calculated 1 week before with the help of website Calsky, it give a lot of data like the exact time that ISS appears, the location in the sky and in the ground for the centerline with the sun and Stellarium for a simulated video.
This picture was made with a Canon EOS 60D in rafal mode mounted on telescope Perl Bellatrix 200/1000 .

New images of the Phantom Galaxy, M74, showcase the power of space observatories working together in multiple wavelengths. On the left, the Hubble Space Telescope’s view of the galaxy ranges from the older, redder stars towards the centre, to younger and bluer stars in its spiral arms, to the most active stellar formation in the red bubbles of H II regions.
On the right, the James Webb Space Telescope’s image is strikingly different, instead highlighting the masses of gas and dust within the galaxy’s arms, and the dense cluster of stars at its core. The combined image in the centre merges these two for a truly unique look at this “grand design” spiral galaxy. Scientists combine data from telescopes operating across the electromagnetic spectrum to truly understand astronomical objects. In this way, data from Hubble and Webb compliment each other to provide a comprehensive view of the spectacular M74 galaxy.

Image description: This image is divided evenly into 3 different views of the same region in the Phantom Galaxy. At left is an optical view taken by Hubble. Arms carved of brown filaments spiral out from a bright galactic core. The arms have pops of pink, which are star-forming regions, and there are blue stars throughout. The middle view contained combined Webb and Hubble data. Lacy red filaments spiraling out of the center of the galaxy are overlaid over a black field speckled with tiny blue stars. The red filaments contain pops of bright pink, which are star-forming regions. Lighter oranges in the red dust mean that dust is hotter. Heavier older stars closer to the center of the galaxy are cyan and green, and contribute to a greenish glow at the core. At right is a mid-infrared image from Webb. Delicate gray filaments spiral outwards from the center. These arms are traced by blue and bursts of pink, which are star-forming regions. A cluster of young stars glow blue at the very heart of the galaxy.

These three images are of the central region of the magnificent spiral galaxy M100, taken with three generations of the Hubble Space Telescope cameras that were sequentially swapped out aboard the telescope, and document the consistently improving capability of the observatory.
The image on the left was taken with the Wide Field/Planetary Camera 1 in 1993. The photo is blurry due to a manufacturing flaw (called spherical aberration) in Hubble's primary mirror. Celestial images could not be brought into a single focus. [Credit: NASA, ESA, and Judy Schmidt]
The middle image was taken in late 1993 with Wide Field/Planetary Camera 2 that was installed during the Dec. 2-13 space shuttle servicing mission (SM1, STS-61). The camera contained corrective optics to compensate for the mirror flaw, and so the galaxy snapped into sharp focus when photographed. [Credit: NASA, ESA, and J. DePasquale (STScI)]
The image on the right was taken with a newer instrument, Wide Field Camera 3, that was installed on Hubble during the space shuttle Servicing Mission 4 in May 2009. [Credit: NASA, ESA, and Judy Schmidt]
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of NASA's first space servicing mission to Hubble, these comparison photos of one of the telescope's first targets are being released today.
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center enables NASA’s mission through four scientific endeavors: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Solar System Exploration, and Astrophysics. Goddard plays a leading role in NASA’s accomplishments by contributing compelling scientific knowledge to advance the Agency’s mission.

Brand-new MeerKAT telescope dishes with a backdrop of our own Galaxy - the Milky Way - and two of the small orbiting satellite galaxies - the small and large Magellanic Clouds - to the left of it.
A project with miracle quality is taking shape in the Karoo. As a future part of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA,) this dish of the 64 element MeerKAT telescope gazes at the night sky, the Milky Way wheeling overhead.
I spent two nights with friends at the site photographing these wonderful telescopes and taking in the spectacle afforded by the deep black sky, unaffected by ambient light.
The ESO Fulldome Expedition (Herbert Zodet, Yuri Beletsky, Theofanis Matsopoulos, Babak Tafreshi, Petr Horalek) team first travels to Paranal, home to the Very Large Telescope array (VLT) — ESO’s flagship facility for European ground-based astronomy. At 2635 metres above sea level, and 120 kilometres south of Antofagasta, Chile, the observatory is high above the clouds on Cerro Paranal — one of the world’s finest sites for astronomy. ESO’s observatory hosts the world's most advanced optical instrument, the Very Large Telescope.
Next, they drive to ALMA, the Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array. ALMA is a large interferometer, and will be composed initially of 66 high-precision antennas. Located on the Chajnantor Plateau, 5000 metres above sea level in northern Chile, the individual antennas can combine to act together as a giant single telescope.
Finally, the ESO Fulldome Expedition heads to La Silla, ESO’s first observatory. Located on the edge of the Atacama Desert, it is 600 kilometres north of Santiago, and 2400 metres above sea level. La Silla is home to the ESO 3.6-metre telescope and the 3.58-metre New Technology Telescope (NTT).
The team will captured Planetarium videos,time-lapses, stills, videos, panoramas from each of the sites, taking views of the cosmos to a whole new dimension. Atmospheric conditions are so stable in the Atacama Desert, that they provide crystal-clear views of the night sky, further enhancing this visually stunning production.
I have been using the telescope piece [#64644] as the tree trunk for the biggest trees in the National Mall MOC. What I didn't realize until last night was...they are hollow! You can run wires through them!
Using one of the custom lights from Brickstuff (which are small enough to fit through the middle of the telescope, I came up with some variations of streetlights that are the right size (almost) for the Mall.
Added bonus, the piece comes in a variety of colors so I can replicate the different colors of lampposts found on the Mall. BIG WIN!, as the lights on Capitol Hill are Sand Green.
Also had a little fun with other transparent LEGO pieces. [grin]

Located in constellation Orion and at about 6,500 light years from us, NGC 2174 is an emission nebula, rich in hydrogen and oxygen, with an apparent diameter slightly larger than the full moon. Within it, there is a loose star cluster, NGC 2175, with recently born stars. The stellar winds and radiation from these high energetic regions carve the nebula, yielding these beautiful structures.

“NGC 6822 (also known as Barnard's Galaxy, IC 4895, or Caldwell 57) is a barred irregular galaxy approximately 1.6 million light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius. Part of the Local Group of galaxies, it was discovered by E. E. Barnard in 1884 (hence its name), with a six-inch refractor telescope. It is similar in structure and composition to the Small Magellanic Cloud. It is about 7,000 light-years in diameter.”

Shot at 50mm under a near half moon. The details in several nebulae can be seen; witchhead, baarnards loop, flame and horsehead. But the color is lacking. I believe this to be simple because of the moon's light.

The Víctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope has pristine access to wide open skies of the Chilean Andes from its perch at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO), a Program of NSF’s NOIRLab. To the upper left of the telescope is the ‘evening star’, actually the planet Venus. Below on the left are the SMARTS 1.5-meter Telescope and SMARTS 0.9-meter Telescope (furthest back). Housed within the silver dome of the Blanco Telescope is the Dark Energy Camera (DECam), mounted at the prime (first) focus near the top of the white Serrurier truss. The blue U-shaped structure holding the truss is the large bearing that sweeps the telescope around to a designated position for observing. DECam saw first light on 12 September 2012 and in its more than 10 years of operation it has contributed greatly to the field of astronomy. It was designed specifically for the Dark Energy Survey, operated by the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation between 2013 and 2019. During this time, DECam cataloged nearly 1 billion objects, helping to construct the largest ever map of the night sky.
Last spring I camped out at Mahogany Flat In Death Valley and hiked Telescope Peak. On this day I hiked away from the campground off trail and found some awesome reminders of a time forgotten. Pinyon pine trees live up here and were a source of food for the people who lived here. They would come up here and live in the summers and wait for the harvest. Telescope peak is the peak in the way background.

When I saw this telescope it's design reminded me of the machines in the computer game series Myst. Round shapes and brass buttons. Now what would that big wheel on the right do? What puzzle can be solved here?
In the background is the city of Kufstein and the river Inn. Very muddy due to the heavy rainfall the days before.

I'm not sure why the buildings in the background still aren't sharpish even at f/11. It's an odd lens though.
This radio telescope was the one used to receive the first moon landing images of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, they made a movie about it here in Australia because it was nearly a catastrophe. Worth a watch if you can get a copy it is called "The dish".

"Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."
