In complete darkness of Kyrgyz Tien Shan mountains, without the presence of light pollution within several hundred kilometers around, I don't remember the last time I had a such a good view of the disk of our galaxy. As that wasn't already enough even a meteor flew into the frame
A collection of some of the finest SHIPs in the galaxy! Well, one did catch fire and explode, but before that it was pretty fine.
Happy SHIPtember!
Managing the water supply on an interstellar colony vessel is just about the best job on board, so the competition for available positions on the water staff is fierce. The primary perk for staff members is occasional access to the water chamber itself, which is vast and beautiful. Here we see lucky water system engineers heading for the far end of the chamber on a quarterly inspection. They will spend several hundred rotation cycles on this task, a time period roughly equivalent to 18 terrrestrial hours. On some inspections they are actually allowed to catch one fish per person... if they have enough skill or luck to land a wily interstellar perch at 1/3 earth-normal gravity. Good luck, fishernauts!
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.
The Interstellar Spark is one piece of Blacktron II technology that is an example of the expression: “If its not broken… don’t fix it!”. With a heavy bulky structure, this ship won’t break a lot of record speeds like its successors, but it is one of the most reliable Vic Vipers in use by the Blacktron II air force.

This small Vic Viper was part of my participation on the New Elementary - 2019 Parts Fest #2.

And here is a small description of the process:
"When I saw the Roof Tile 1x8x3 Deg 25 No 1 in White (6262530|49618) I thought that they would be great to make spaceship wings because of their larger surface areas with fewer lines/unions. Since we are in “Novvember" I decided to make this year’s Vic Viper. Although I wanted to make a cleaner ship, I was able to incorporate some greebling on the wings using the “circular saw” part from the Mini Accessory, No. 11."

This is the lego crew, Cooper (Mathew McConaughey) and Amelia (Anne Hathaway) and of course TARS.

I made jam for the first time this year. Since my Nana died, I have taken responsibility for preserving the abundance of fruit that still grows in her garden. This is pink gooseberry and rhubarb, although in this teaspoon I think it looks like the formation of a galaxy, a supernova or a distant nebula.

What is this world? I'm off to bathe in the ruby waters and once I'm satisfied, I'll swim to the nearby still, teal-colored pool to contemplate how I got here.
The life of a planetary nebula is often chaotic, from the death of its parent star to the scattering of its contents far out into space. Captured here by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, ESO 455-10 is one such planetary nebula, located in the constellation of Scorpius (The Scorpion).
The oblate shells of ESO 455-10, previously held tightly together as layers of its central star, not only give this planetary nebula its unique appearance, but also offer information about the nebula. Seen in a field of stars, the distinct asymmetrical arc of material over the north side of the nebula is a clear sign of interactions between ESO 455-10 and the interstellar medium.
The interstellar medium is the material such as diffuse gas between star systems and galaxies. The star at the center of ESO 455-10 allows Hubble to see the interaction with the gas and dust of the nebula, the surrounding interstellar medium, and the light from the star itself. Planetary nebulae are thought to be crucial in galactic enrichment as they distribute their elements, particularly the heavier metal elements produced inside a star, into the interstellar medium which will in time form the next generation of stars.

It's quite amazing how much you can see in the night sky during a new moon once you get far away from the city. The universe just opens up, reminding you of its unfathomable scale and how small our world (let alone ourselves) is in it. Oddly (or perhaps not so odd), I find that particularly refreshing.
As a professional space nerd I could go on and on about the cool things in this picture. But there are better pictures and better people for that. On a more emotional level, taking these pictures makes me feel as though Mother Nature is gently reminding us of our small place in the cosmos.
