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!
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.
All with the Askar APO120 refractor at its native f/7 for 840mm focal length, and the Canon R5 at ISO 1600. Autoguided on the stars. Taken from home in Alberta on a very fine night, November 19/20, 2025.
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.

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.
"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 😁
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.

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

“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.
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.
See lots more pics here: brickbuilt.org/Outpost.php
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! :)
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.

Slightly altered colour grading in the tower. Matches the overall tone better. Still just a Photoshop exercise gone slightly wild.
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!
M8 - The Lagoon Nebula is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula and as an H II region.
The Trifid Nebula is an H II region in the north-west of Sagittarius in a star-forming region in the Milky Way's Scutum-Centaurus Arm. It was discovered by Charles Messier on June 5, 1764. Its name means 'three-lobe'. The object is an unusual combination of an open cluster of stars, an emission nebula (the relatively dense, reddish-pink portion), a reflection nebula (the mainly NNE blue portion), and a dark nebula (the apparent 'gaps' in the former that cause the trifurcated appearance, also designated Barnard 85).
The most massive star that has formed in this region is HD 164492A, an O7.5III star with a mass more than 20 times the mass of the Sun. This star is surrounded by a cluster of approximately 3100 young stars
I could enjoy imaging of the interstellar comet in the weekend.
The comet was drifting fast toward west northwest in Virgo. Dust coma was small and round. Dust tail was short toward east. Greenish ion halo was small and round. Bluish ion tail was not visible clearly at the date, though there looked bluish area to the west of the comet on this frame. North is up, and east is to the left.
Sun distance: 1.774 AU ( 31% distant compared to the perihelion )
Earth distance: 1.925 AU ( 7% distant compared to the minimum )
Equipment: Takahashi FSQ-130ED, F3 Reducer 0.6x, IDAS Clear Filter, and EOS R-SP4II, modified by Seo San on ZWO AM5n Equatorial Mount, autoguided with Fujinon 1:2.8/75mm C-Mount Lens, Pentax x2 Extender, ZWO ASI 174MM-mini, and PHD2 Guiding with comet tracking on.
Exposure: 8 times x 600 seconds, 5 x 240sec, and 7 x 60 seconds at ISO 1,600 and f/3.0, focal length 390mm
Exposure started at 18:46:48 November 29, 2025UTC.
This frame was cropped 1,346 x 898 pixels of the original 6,720 x 4,480 pixels, and this is comparable to a frame taken with a scope of 1,900mm in focal length.
site: 730m above sea level at lat. 37 09 41 North and long. 139 14 54 East in an empty parking of pre-season ski resort in Okutadami in Uonuma Niigata 新潟県魚沼 奥只見. Higher mountains were covered with snow and beautiful, but there was no snow yet at the elevation. Ambient temperature was around -1 degree Celsius or 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Wind was mild. Atmospheric turbulence was bad, and guide error RMS was around 1.50. Sky was dark, and Sky Quality was 21.53 in SQML. The site was dark toward the east. Local fog interfered at the beginning of imaging session, though weather forecast was nice.
Here is a view of the site at the night:
