The Celestial 'G' is a group of stars referred to as an asterism and is a good way of identifying several bright naked-eye stars in the vicinity of the constellation of Orion. The asterism starts with Aldebaran in Taurus before moving up to Capella in Auriga. From there it moves to Castor and Pollux in Gemini and then on to Procyon in Canis Minor. The final section starts with Sirius in Canis Major before moving on to Rigel, Bellatrix and finally Betelgeuse in Orion to form the final part of the 'G'. I used an 18-55mm lens to get this shot but with a basic wide angle converter added to make the effective focal length 8mm. Without this the asterism would not fit in the frame!
"Count your nights by stars, not shadows; count your life with smiles, not tears."
This was a night when my friends and I managed to get away from everything and just be ourselves, catch up on life and dance in the moonlight. The flash on my phone managed to capture a nice profile while I edited the stars in.
This image was captured back towards the beginning of January during a very cold night/morning on a hill in Wiltshire.
The image depicts the constellation of Orion above an ancient burial mound.
I just went down to the promenade for a breath of fresh air before it got dark, not specifically to see the sun set as it had already sunk below the usual evening bank of cloud. Then suddenly the clouds started to part and this wonderful beam of light shone upwards towards the still blue sky. A lovely end to the day.
Hey everyone! I'm excited to share my submission for the current Spoonflower Doodle Bug challenge. I've created a whimsical illustration featuring celestial bugs, which I hope will bring a smile to your face! These delightful bugs are depicted as frolicking among the lush foliage, adding a touch of magic to the scene. I had so much fun creating this piece, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! I'm really looking forward to seeing all the amazing entries from other participants - there's always so much creativity and talent on display. Thanks for taking the time to check out my work, and happy doodling! This is available for purchase on fabric and home décor now and there is exciting 20% off site wide on Spoonflower at the moment – stock up for your lovely projects

Before I wrapped up my night out at this location, I had to capture the Milky Way. It was 1:30 AM and the moon had set. The Milky Way was easily visible because of this. This photo is a panorama that is comprised of 14 photos. I wanted to show as much of the Milky Way spanning the sky as I could.

An awesome morning, when the star Regulus, the planets Venus, Mars and Jupiter join the crescent Moon to greet early earthling risers.

Whirl in a rainbow of colour and stars, light swirling about you like hopes and dreams, don't let any one of them flutter away, but hold them loose enough to take flight.
I’ve mixed and matched a few pieces here! Skin and neon paint body tattoo are from Fallen Gods — the Lumina (Eclipse) skin combined with the HOLI Phalgun Purnima tattoo. The dress is a daring little number from r2 A/D/E: the Shou (liquid purple) minidress. There are boots, too, but I felt best shoeless for this party.
Perhaps the most amazing part of this outfit is the Starry Nebula (Half Spectrum Dark) from Tai’Dyed. It’s this wonderful collection of mostly translucent flexis with embedded stars in different colours. There are a TONNE of pieces to choose from that attach to different points on your body. You can’t wear them all, you only get 38 attachments total! And your complexity will be astronomical — I think I was north of 400,000. But OMG it’s so much fun and so swirly! You can’t really get a good feel for this without a video.
We lost Tai this past fall unexpectedly, but her shop is still open at the Spyralle sim at Mauna Waipio. There’s a wonderful little memorial to Tai there as well, please stop by and pay your respects.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, my friends! Be a source of light and colour to those around you… and most especially to yourself!
Aloha! A hui hou kākou!

Lego Spaceship MOC: The Celestial Empress is a large nuclear pulse propelled spaceship designed specifically to take a contained colony to Alpha Centauri. The Nuclear warhead propulsion system is based on the Project Orion concept and will take this half million Earth ton vessel to .99.99 of the speed of light. It take a little over a year to reach maxim velocity, it will then cruise for a further 4.5 years before flipping over and using the same propulsion to decelerate for another year before reaching its destination of Alpha Centauri.
There is a transit system from the bow module to the cargo modules

I am just a tiny spec on this earth at the given slice of time. The earth in turn is such a tiny speck in the Milky Way. To top it off the Milky Way is just one of billions of galaxies in the universe. When u get to witness the celestial grandeur like these - it brings in an amazing feeling of being extraordinarily special and at the same time wonderfully insignificant.
This shot is from the last week drive to the Ottawa National Forest at Michigan to capture the Perseids. Though this does not have any Meteor, i really like this shot for the minimalistic feel and the contemplation that was happening within when I captured the same :) What do u think, How do u like it ?

Mark and Megan have been working a lot on NASA's Celestial immunity experiment, including weekends. This is one of the reasons I like making timelapses, it compresses hours of work into a short video (also once the camera is set up we can let it be it and do said work). Together with solid support from mission control and scientists on ground, Mark and Megan have been working in the Life Sciences Glovebox in the Japanese Kibo laboratory to run this experiment. They are taking immune cells from elderly people and adults and seeing how they react to being on the International Space Station. This could offer clues to the whole ageing process in general and continues on ground-breaking research in space that is helping us understand the human body in detail. Like much human research in space it capitalises on the fact that cells seem to age faster offering a handy way for researchers to observe changes but sped up. Mark is doing the experiment in the Glovebox so the cells are contained, we do many biological or chemical experiments in gloveboxes for extra safety. youtu.be/vNS_sEfgvdI
Mark et Megan travaillent beaucoup sur l’expérience Celestial immunity dernièrement, y compris les weekends. Les timelapses ont l’avantage de compresser le temps et de montrer l’essentiel des activités en une courte vidéo (et puis je peux installer la caméra et la laisser tourner pendant que je vaque à mes occupations 🆗). Avec le soutien du centre d’opérations et des scientifiques, Megan et Mark utilisent la Life Sciences Glovebox (littéralement « la boîte à gants pour les sciences du vivant) qui se trouve dans le laboratoire :flag japon: Kibo. Grâce à cette boîte, les échantillons restent bien confiner, sans risque d’être abimés. Ils étudient des cellules immunitaires de personnes âgées et d’adultes pour voir comment elles réagissent dans la Station spatiale. L’objectif ? Étudier le vieillissement et plus généralement améliorer la compréhension du corps humain. Comme la plupart des études sur la physiologie humaine, on se sert du fait que les cellules vieillissent plus vite dans l’espace. C’est pratique, on peut observer les changements plus rapidement, comme en accélérer… un peu comme un timelapse dans la vie réelle :) youtu.be/vNS_sEfgvdI
