The first observed interstellar comet was in Leo at the night and approaching the perihelion, 2.007AU from Sun on December 8, 2019. It was drifting toward southwest or lower left on the frame. The magnitude was predicted as 17.3 at the night. Relatively bright galaxy NGC 2903, mag. 9.7 was near to the west, and galaxy NGC 2916, mag. 12.0 was also near to the east on the frame.
It showed nothing of greenish or ionic activity on the photo taken with the small equipment for amateur, though dust tail was visible slightly toward northwest. North is up, and east is to the left.
Sun distance: 2.466 AU
Earth distance: 2.942 AU
"Detection of CN gas in Interstellar Object 2I / Borisov" by Fitzsimmons A et al October 2, 2019
There came out a report claiming detection of CN gas (wavelength 388nm in ultraviolet range) in the comet recently, and I hoped to detect ionic color, though it was a bit too far from Sun.
It was possible to detect greenish ionic activity of C/2012 S1 ISON on September 16, 2013. The location was 1.9AU from Sun.

A cosmic wanderer for sure. It is the interstellar comet Atlas 3I passing through our solar system. It took me a long time to image it, because of continued bad weather over Belgium. But finally, here it is, and on Christmas...
2 hour exposure with Vixen SD115II refractor and ZWO ASI2600MC camera.
I was so glad that I was able to see this movie in theaters the day after it came out. It instantly became my favorite movie, and I decided that I wanted to make a Ranger. However, after seeing all the amazing Rangers that others have built, I kind of lost interest for awhile.
It wasn't until the digital release that I decided to try. It's taken me since March to complete this, and I nearly gave up multiple times, but I really wanted a Ranger model in my collection, so I kept with it. Here are the end results. It does have some interior detailing, which was actually easier to do than the exterior. Sadly, I don't have to many Computer panel pieces, so it doesn't have a lot of screen like it does in the movie. Also, one last bit. I tried to scale this based on how big the Endurance is (There is an infographic that shows how big the Endurance -With Rangers- is compared to the U.S. Space Shuttle.) I used that to try and get a rough size for my Ranger model, and while it looks a little large when compared to minifigures, I am quite happy with the results.

As a response to the devastating assault launched by the infected Blacktron forces in 2020, the IDC were prompted to develop a new class of Mecha weaponry.
The R&D department was given only one instruction: *** ALL THE GUNS! ***
And thus, the T-REX was born.
T-REX: Tactical Response to Extreme Xenophobia
Technical Specs:
2 main laser cannons, 2 detachable rocket pods, 2 rotary guns, 2 heavy artillery, 2 mixed-use launchers, anti-infantry undercarriage system, and detachable anti-air defenses. Seating two pilots to share the responsibility of driving and destruction, this beast is a FORCE to be reckoned with!

My entry for DT's hyperspace challenge. This MOC took about 1.5 months to make, and it was mostly inspired by the V-wing.
Huge thanks to 7up for giving me the idea of a UAV, and thank you to everyone else who helped me along this journey.
The photography style was inspired by Inthert's and the back area was inspired by Caleb Ricks' Interstellar ship. Engine design by Tauriel 1.
I will hopefully upload content more often in the future-
That's all I have to say,

"Interstellar Highway" - M42 Orion Nebula & Geostationary Satellites
While recently capturing long exposure images of the M42 Orion Nebula I noticed that there were a few satellites that appeared to pass through my images as I took them. These series of photos was taken by a Sony A7siii with a Sony 100-400mm GM lens tracked with a Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer EQ mount. These Satellites are stationary. It’s the Stars and Nebula that are moving. How cool! This photo is a composite of 205 images together.
These stationary satellites are Geostationary or “Geosynchronous” Satellites. They sit 35,786 KM above the earth and are in lockstep with our earths rotation. They are used for communication, weather and navigational purposes.
And no. These are not Elon Musks - Star Link Satellites lol

Light painted toy action again tonight. Shot on the Samyang 50mm manual lens. F22 for the lighting on Kylo Ren and the sweep of purple coolness behind. Blue gel over the lens and changed to F1.4 for the bokeh.
Crop and contrast in LR shot using a cwb.
This is number 251 of my 366.
The Ranger is a reconnaissance vehicle used during the Endurance mission in the spectacular film Interstellar. They are used for transporting the astronauts to Dr Miller's water planet and to Dr Mann's ice planet. Both Rangers in the movie are later destroyed, one in a failed docking attempt by the traitorous Dr Mann, and the other is sucked into the black hole Gargantua.
Hey guys! I'm happy to present my latest model, a near minifig-scale build of the Ranger spacecraft from the 2014 film Interstellar. This is one of my favorite builds I've done since joining Flickr, even though getting the shape and paneling correct was very difficult at times. The vehicle itself is very cool and feels surprisingly real, it's definitely one of the best things about the movie.
If you can, please check out these other angles and shots on my Flickr page!

As always, thanks for checking out my MOC, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
I have a lot of work to do, to achieve a great night photo, and i am a rookie in that way, but i am glad to know it is possible to me to have a great night shot in the future.
Yuri Volkovnikov, an Interstellar Exoplanet Ekistics (ISEE) Astronaut visits the surface of Gliese 3293 b located approximately 59 light years from our solar system... it's crystalline structured surface moves at random and can be quite dangerous. Studying the surface has led to the discovery of a loose particle based plate tectonics that involves high levels of magnetism. The movement appears to be in patches intermittent with large solid swaths that "float" smoothly over and polish the stones below.

Interstellar matter and dust Banquet of interstellar dust matter and looking at the internal threads of our galaxy somewhere between Centaur Sagittarius and the powerful Scorpio in the constellation Ophiuchus, where the secular horse galloping our imagination inside the stars. The main disc of our galaxy has a diameter of 80,000 to 100,000 light-years, the perimeter 250 to 300 000 light years and a thickness of about 1,000 light years. It consists of 200 up to 400 billion stars. If we define a natural scale and assume that the Milky Way has a diameter of 130 km, the solar system would have a length of 2 mm. The Galactic Halo extends over a diameter of 250,000 and 400,000 light years. As reported extensively in the galaxy structure below, new research has shown that the disk extends much more than we thought until last. Officially, since 2005, the Milky Way is now considered to be a large barred spiral galaxy SBbc type the Hubble sequence (small barred spiral helix) with a total mass of 600 to 3,000 billion solar masses (M☉) [5] [6], comprising from 200 to 400,000,000,000 stars. The galactic disk has an estimated diameter of about 100,000 light years. The distance of the Sun from the center of the galaxy is estimated at 26,000 light years. The disc is protuberant in the center and symperikleietai from the so-called thick disk. The Sun (and thus the Earth and the Solar System) is quite close to the inner ring of the Arm of Orion, local cloud, at 7,94 ± 0,42 kpc from the Galactic Center. The distance between the local arm and immediately nearest, the Perseus Arm, is of the order of 1 · 1019 m (6.500 light years). The Sun and by extension the solar system, located in what scientists call the Galactic Habitable Zone. The direction of the Sun's path (apix or corymb), refers to the direction of the Sun as it travels in the Galaxy. The general direction of galactic motion of the Sun is near the constellation Hercules, at an angle of approximately 86 degrees from the Galactic Center. The orbit of the Sun in the Galaxy is expected to be approximately elliptical with the addition of influences from the galactic arms and uneven mass distribution. We are currently 1/8 of the track before perigalaxio (the shortest distance from the center of the Milky Way). The solar system takes about 225-250000000 years to complete an orbit (one Galactic Year), so speculation has performed approximately 20-25 orbits during its lifetime. The orbital speed of the Solar System is 217 km / sec, ie. One light-year every 1,400 years, and 1 AU in 8 days.
This multi-telescope composite combines X-ray, infrared and optical data of the galaxy cluster XDCPJ0044.0-2033.
The purple/pink in the image corresponds to infrared emission measured by Herschel and X-ray emission detected with NASA's Chandra telescope.
Infrared data from ESA's Herschel telescope has revealed where interstellar dust in the cluster's core is being heated by young, hot, stars. This is the first time that star formation has been found in the core of a cluster of this size and age.
The X-ray data were used to map the mass of this giant cluster.
These data have been combined with optical and near-infrared images of the cluster captured by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan's Subaru telescope and the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope, the data from which are coloured red, green and blue in this image.
XDCPJ0044.0-2033 is a massive galaxy cluster with an estimated mass of about four hundred thousand billion times that of our Sun. It lies at a redshift of almost 1.6, meaning that we see it as it was 9.6 billion years ago.

Does anyone else see startrails in front of the "Gargantua" in this picture? :)
Ofc I know about the lens distortion correction "issue" and all the "obvious mistakes", i was processing this last night (a bit high from my meds - i had an accident on saturday and lost all mobility to my right limb - i have to admit) and did this while laying in bed with my left hand only after it took forever to setup the tripod and the camera, and decided to keep it like this for fun purposes so this is a coposite, an artists depiction if you will - an impression and not a real photograph so consider it accordingly. total expo time for this one was about 820 seconds
There's something otherworldly when you look up in London, almost sci-fi. I'm not a fan of big cities, two days was enough, give me expansive landscapes and rolling seas any day of the week. I did, however, enjoy mixing up my photography with some architecture work.
Thanks in advance for any comments of favourites you may wish to make.

This is the infamous interstellar visitor from another solar system, Comet 3i/Atlas, the designation from this being the third interstellar comet discovered. It passed through our solar system in late 2025 before heading back off into the galaxy and interstellar space.
If this is an interstellar alien spaceship it is well disguised as a comet!
This is from the morning of November 20, 2025 after it had emerged from behind the Sun in late October and was now positioned high enough for a good look and image through amateur telescopes. The comet shows a faint tail to the right of the cyan-tinted head, all typical of normal solar-system comets. It also shows a faint anti-tail pointing to the left ahead of the comet. The comet was travelling along the ecliptic so dust ejected from the comet was spreading along the ecliptic as well. We were seeing its orbit edge-on making the dust more obvious both ahead and behind the comet.
The comet was in Virgo, near the bright star Porrima which is just out of the field at upper left. The comet itself was about 8th magnitude, much brighter than had been predicted. The field is 2.5º by 1.6º.
Technical:
- This is a stack of 19 x 3 minute exposures for the sky, aligned on the stars, blended with ...
- A stack of 10 of those exposures aligned for the comet, which was moving noticeably (almost a comet diameter) from exposure to exposure, due to its rapid motion through space. I removed the stars from the comet images and aligned just the comet to blend it into the star field..
So the comet comes from that subset of 10 comet-aligned images taken over 30 minutes.
