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.
"Everybody good? Plenty of slaves for my robot colony?"
This is my recreation of the slightly sarcastic U.S. Marine Corps tactical robot from the movie Interstellar. This is my first build for the Christopher Nolan Collaborative display for Brickworld Chicago.
Yes, that's all metallic silver tiles, no I don't regret wasting my money 😁
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.

Messier 57 is a planetary nebula in the constellation of Lyra.Such objects are formed when a shell of ionized gas is expelled into the surrounding interstellar medium by a red giant star, which was passing through the last stage in its evolution before becoming a white dwarf. Its distance is about 2300 lightyears and the diameter about 1.3 lightyears.

Late night shoot at Hound tor with a capture of the Milky way. Ran into a great group the Bickington camera club who supplied us with BBQ food and tea while we shot with them.
My entry to the Interstellar Outpost Contest.
Knor Industries, well known for their military and civilian vehicles, are now offering an Outpost Bundle that includes:
the Knor RW starfighter, which with its rotating wings can land or take off on a dime; the Knor TX tanker truck, famous for its off road capabilities; the Knor SI comm station, equipped with the latest in communication technology; and the Knor RW landing pad that doubles as a storage area for the outpost. Take advantage of this great Bundle deal while you can!
The starfighter's wings rotate with a twist of the knob on top, to switch between flight and hover/landing mode; it also has a functional landing gear. The tanker truck has working steering (also operated by the knob on top) and 'suspension'. The comm station has a full interior and the landing pad doubles as a storage area.

Story & technique:
A composition between me and my soulmate. We both love photography and we both love astronomy. I decided to compose my sky with her foreground including glorious wind turbine, because I just fell in love with the photo she took and we wanted to do some project together.
The sky is stack of 20 tracked photos, taken from Bortle 4 area. 20x30" f/2.8 ISO 6400 at 70 mm using my stock Canon EOS 6D Mark II and Canon EF 24-70 mm f/2.8 | Skywatcher Star Adventurer. Foreground is from Nikon D90

Built for RogueBricks’ “A Tribute to Christopher Nolan” contest.
While building this I might got really inspired by the beautiful soundtrack from Interstellar. So, I noticed some similarities between interstellar journeys and building MOCs. I mean with both you only have a vague plan, you don’t even know exactly what will come from it. The countdown just runs 3 – 2 – 1 – 0! You put the first bricks together and your journey into the infinite depths of creativity begins. Sometimes you might reach a blockade, so you go into your “Hypersleep Pod” and leave the project alone for the time being. But you should always set a wake-up date, because your work has never been idle and will always lead to a good ending, even though the journey, your building project, sometimes seems hopeless.
So don’t give up!
Designed and folded October 2017 from 18 square sheets of European kraft paper.
I originally drew a sketch for this design back in 2013, and after digging it up earlier this week, I finally decided to develop the units. The neatest part of this design is the fact that it is a fractal, so the pattern can theoretically be repeated forever!
I folded 3 iterations for this particular model before the paper became too small to work with. The iterations are folded separately and can easily be assembled to one another without adhesives. The units are actually quite simple too, so I'll probably diagram this one if there is enough interest!
Overall, I'm really happy with how this one turned out! Please let me know what you think! :)

“Love isn’t something that we invented. It’s observable. Powerful. It has to mean something. Maybe it means something more, something we can’t yet understand. Maybe it’s some evidence, some artifact of a higher dimension that we can’t consciously perceive.
Love is the one thing that we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space.”

More and more as time goes, I feel as though I am developing a style specific to me; a style that combines conceptual ideas, photo manipulation, vivid colors, and storytelling. My inspirations come from all around the Instagram and Flickr communities, books, movies, life events, and more. I couldn't be happier about this, and about the community I'm a part of. Thank you all for being a constant reminder to improve my abilities.
A wide field view of the Lagoon Nebula (M8, Messier 8 or NGC 6523), a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. The Lagoon Nebula is estimated to be between 4000 - 6000 light-years from Earth in the Milky Way Galaxy, and is classified as an emission nebula.
About Emission nebulae:
Emission nebulae are glowing clouds of interstellar gas which have been excited by some nearby energy source, usually a very hot star. The red light seen in this picture is glowing hydrogen captured in the Hydrogen-Alpha (Hα) Infrared wavelength of light at 656nm.
About this image:
A few short 2 minute ISO 3200 exposures, imaged in the rural dark skies of the Waterberg, Limpopo Province, South Africa.
About the Star Colors:
You will notice that star colors differ from red, orange and yellow, to blue. This is an indication of the temperature of the star's Nuclear Fusion process. This is determined by the size and mass of the star, and the stage of its life cycle. In short, the blue stars are hotter, and the red ones are cooler.
