The X-fly's small and agile frame combined with it's heavy weaponry made it a staple strategy in the 2nd Interstellar Carrier's first line of defense.
Another one in red - seems like a personal trend for me. This one is slightly based on my old nanofire design, m.flickr.com/#/photos/53458657@N04/5560349322/ but more sophisticated and a bit more rounded. It fits a fig with swinging canopy section, and the main gun/thrusters are articulated. It is hard to get a good all inclusive overall shot of it. This was the best pic out of photo session #1. EDIT: Just realized it also may have been influenced by another one of my previous designs. Almost seems to be a mash-up of both builds. www.flickr.com/photos/53458657@N04/8285450843
ESO’s La Silla observatory in Chile is unavoidably photogenic from every angle — including unusual and creative perspectives such as this one!

Interstellar Pelican Cloud Covers Sun Spans Tampa Bay Florida - IMRAN™
We all often recognize animal shapes or human faces in the shapes of clouds that form and dissiipate above us every day. But sometimes the shapes can be so specific it makes me wonder. I often see general bird shapes, sometimes doves, and eagles. But a pelican?! There is absolutely no tweaking done to try to make a pelican shape. This is exactly how the cloud formation was in front of across Tampa Bay, as this massive god of interstellar pelicans seemed to cover the sun and span the width of Tampa Bay. You can make out the white caps in the water on this very windy day. I have one purely unedited image of the same pelican cloud. But this one was made from 4 Nikon D300 photos providing a lot more detail and smoothness of colors if you zoom in.

Old Schools, University of Cambridge. 800th Anniversary light show. Real photo: tried longish exposure here to allow blending of diffrent projections on the building. Worked quite well, I thought:-)
Best with Cambridge's psychedelic export: Pink Floyd and their "Interstellar Overdrive" track (one of my favourite from this band): uk.youtube.com/watch?v=emlJKhLZOh8 .

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.

It was impossible to detect ionic activity of C/2012 S1 ISON on January 31, 2013 at 4.08AU, though dust activity was detected.

equipmnent: Takahashi FSQ-130ED and Canon EOS 5Dmk3-sp4, modified by Seo-san on Takahashi EM-200FG-Temma 2Z-BL, autoguided with Fujinon 1:2.8/75mm C-Mount Lens, Pentax x2 Extender, Starlight Xpress Lodestar Autoguider, and PHD2 Guiding
exposure: 6 times x 8 minutes at ISO 1,600 and f/5.0
The first exposure started at 18:29:23 and the last ended at 19:18:08 October 4, 2019UTC. Seeing was bad as you see. SQM-L was 21.26 at the zenith and 20.54 toward the field of the object. I enhanced the last frame to show galaxy clearly on this version.
site: 1,431m above sea level at lat. 35 55 22 North and long. 138 24 30 East near Mt. Yatsugatake in Yamanashi 山梨県まきば公園
Those aren't mountains. They're waves.
Okay, apparently I'm not done with Interstellar yet. Instagram's format preferences kind of forced me to make a 4th scene so I chose Miller's planet and was really satisfied with how nice the Ranger turned out at ~1:175. The scene itself was rather quick work, but that simple glass plate worked way better than the thousands of loose trans-black tiles I originally planned to use for the water surface.
Folded from 18 squares of kraft
I had the huge pleasure of test folding this wonderful fractal star for Evan Zodl.
Thank you so much, Evan!! :)

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!

I am honored to have already earned a Committee's Choice Award at our local Bricks Cascade BrickNic for this MOC, and look forward to sharing it in full-action-glory at the next in-person convention in 2022!

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light

The Lego City 60430: Interstellar Spaceship, being too small, too ugly, too many visible stud, too simple, etc ...
... I decided to re-do it again LEGO hurt my eyes too much. It tickled my fingers seriously. Worse it's space ! I could not resist.
grognie-furie MODE: ON
To make the flame/cone of the reactor, I used an Indian trick or innovated : NPU ! I used the transparent Dragon eggs, from the Lego Elves series (sets 41171 & 41180)
24132 - Container, Faceted, 4 x 4 x 1 2/3, Dragon Egg Top &
24130 - Container, Faceted, 4 x 4 x 1 2/3, Dragon Egg Bottom
Then I stacked 2x2 or 3x3 transparent-red dishes, to build the inside of the flame/cone.
"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.

Technicians test the spring-activated door on the Interstellar Dust Experiment (IDEX) instrument of NASA’s IMAP (Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe) observatory inside the high bay at the Astrotech Space Operations Facility near the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Tuesday, June 3, 2025. The door will remain closed to protect IDEX from contamination during integration and launch. Once in space, the door will swing open permanently to allow interstellar and interplanetary dust to flow into the instrument for measurement. The IMAP observatory will study how the Sun shapes the boundaries of the heliosphere, the protective bubble around our solar system. Launch is targeted for no earlier than September 2025 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA Kennedy. Photo credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins APL/Ed Whitman

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.
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
