Just as the new calendar year begins, and with it a feeling of new beginnings, so this network of dust and gas shows a portion of sky where star birth is yet to take hold.
This region is in Polaris, 490 light-years away. It was imaged by ESA’s Herschel space observatory in 2011; a colour composite is presented here.
It shows several tens of tangled interstellar filaments. Such filaments can stretch for tens of light-years through space and can precede the onset of star formation, with newborn stars often found in the densest parts.
Embedded within the filaments are a number of denser patches of material, but hardly any currently appear to be the seeds of future stars. As they are now, the filaments are simply not massive enough to support star formation.
Whether or not this currently calm region becomes a stellar nursery in the future remains to be seen.
The region was imaged by Herschel’s Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer and Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver at infrared wavelengths of 250, 350 and 500 microns.

The Solar-Powered Interstellar Drone for Extraterrestrial Research (S.P.I.D.E.R.) is finally completed at the 'Moonbase Celebration 50'.
With onboard intelligence, a formidable assortment of tools, and unlimited renewable power, this endlessly useful companion is sometimes referred to as 'GRAMPS' - Giant Robotic Assistant & Mobile Power Station (especially by arachnophobic astronauts).
Future missions will be accompanied by these units, to aid in planetoid habitability investigation and geo/bio research. Manipulator arms, coupled with highly advanced sensors allow this drone to examine samples, move debris, haul equipment, and even carry out rescue operations for astronauts in danger.
Fully capable of traversing uneven terrain, and repelling into crevaces with it's winch, this robotic research assistant can go just about anywhere on atmospheric and non-atmospheric terrestrial landscapes.
Prepare to give Space exploration a leg-up (or six!) and take your celestial crew to a whole new level of awesome adventure with a giant (robot) S.P.I.D.E.R. on board!

This MOC has been a journey, developing a seamless transition through System and CCBS/Bionicle elements. With adjustable Greebles to simulate actuators. Fully articulated through each leg, the model is stable, poseable, and quite dynamic (in-environment shots coming soon!).
The features include: adjustable solar arrays, whiskers, and rear hitches, poseable manipulator arms (3), legs with up to 12+ points of articulation each + working shock absorption, opening hatch to reveal central core, storage for a large assortment of space tools, and a working winch (which can support the full weight of the build).

Thanks for checking it out, I hope you enjoy it!

I have just returned from a week on the Isle of Wight. Whilst there I decided to head out a couple of times to see if I could capture the Milky Way. There is so little light pollution on the south of the island, and with no moon the conditions proved favourable.
I am grateful for an comments you may wish to leave.
Desafio Ostentassaum novidadeira 3/10
Logo que vi as primeiras imagens desse esmalte no IG da marca eu fiquei louca pra ter um, aà arrisquei comprar numa loja da Hungria e deu super certo \o/ (veio rápido e não fui taxada ufa!)
Ele é muito, MUITO maravilhoso, estou amando demais!!!
Tem a base duocrome jelly nas cores azul / teal / roxo com brilhinhos holo bem delicados. Precisei de 3 camadas, mas foi bem tranquilo de esmaltar, fica bem lisinho e brilhoso e não precisa de tc.
Bati um montão de fotos, pq é bem difÃcil captar o efeito dele, coloquei só mais 3 nos comentários (mostrando mais teal, mais roxo e no sol) e nesse link tem a foto que fiz pra etapa 3/10 do desafio Segura a Coisa - 2016.
Tb fiz um vÃdeo pra mostrar a mudança das cores

The Ranger from the 2014 movie Interstellar by Christopher Nolan. This specific vehicle from the movie interested me a lot, and I was able to build it in Lego form. A specific challenge of the build was the narrow profile of the spacecraft, and a lot of angled bricks were used to get this shape.
I was inspired by the fantastic builds by some of the 'spacers' at the Brick Show at STEAM last weekend. Thought I'd have a crack at some spacey stuff myself - the Interstellar Outpost competition seemed like the perfect prompt.
Tip o' the hat to Pete, Tim and Jeremy for their amazing stuff last weekend.
Traveled to deep space into the Lockman Hole region to photograph this Launchpad for alien spacecrafts. Stopped off at an unnamed planet's moon orbiting the star Alcor for dinner. The alien restaurant was ok. The food was great, but the place had no atmosphere. :P
Joined by four other talented Flickrites, I took pictures of my 501st Legion buddies yesterday morning walking through downtown Portland. Even the evil Empire supports mass transit! No better way to get to the detention block in the morning. :-)
Classic Science Fiction 70's Art - The interstellar Queen
Here is my tribute to classic Science Fiction Art of the 70’s. I remember the gorgeous spaceship art on book covers from that period which eventually led me to picking up Steward Cowley’s book Spacecraft 2000 to 2100 AD. Essentially an ensemble of fantastic space art from talented visual artists, which Cowley cleverly presents in a believable historical reference guide. For me, one ship stood out from the rest, the space liner Interstellar Queen.
And here it is presented in Lego form, my build of artist Angus Mckie’s graceful swan like space liner from the book. I’ve tried to capture the classic lines of the ship without altering too much of Mckie’s original design. I was a little apprehensive at first about the boxy nature of the hull, but seeing the finished model, I think she does have a certain charm about her. I had to make some changes to the rear of the ship and engine placement. This was due in part to the shaping of the Lego hull. The original technical drawing of the rear of the Interstellar Queen can be found in the book.
Specification of the Lego model
Length : 63cm
Width : 32cm
Height : 20cm (excluding base)
Build time : 1.5 months
The model is displayed in a space dock setting at her intended flight angle. Docking clamps hold her in place. I would have liked landing gear, but that made the model very unstable. The dock setting provides more stability.

Having fun in my studio today. I was playing with water and stones and flash. It took a few attempts of dropping stones into a small fish tank with my left hand and firing off a burst of shots with flash with my right hand. I used electronic shutter for 30 frames per sec. I was surprised my Godox flash kept up just fine. This is what I ended up with. Then I had to come up with a creative name.
another resin painting. 9x12. available at unicoherent.com in the Original Art section.
This is actually the first of 4 resin paintings using the same colors. With this first piece, I was experimenting with ULTRA-low-viscosity resin. It really did flow like water. It was so thin that it covered the canvas with a ton left over. Obviously I didn't want to waste the resin so I started a 2nd piece that was 16x20". However as I started to work that piece the resin started to overheat and cure so quickly that one cup had a solid lump in it. That second piece remains unfinished. I decided to try making more with regular-low-viscosity resin. I started with a 16x20, which I sold before I got any really good photos of, though I may still post one of the mediocre photos, I'm not sure. And I always seem to mix more resin than I need so I created the 4th piece, which is Partial Eclipse Outwards.
