From November 1st to 3rd 2024 I went to Bricking Bavaria in Fürth and I decided to turn my Interstellar scenes into little vignettes to accompany the Endurance.
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.

An abstract view of deep space. The only thing done to photo here was add a black colour control point. I dragged it around to different colours on the screen until I got a pleasing result. Not the way it is supposed to be used.
The Black, white and Neutral control points are great tools of CaptureNX that enable you, with the aid of a Histogram, to find the darkest, lightest or neutral points in an image.
The Heart Nebula, also known as IC 1805, is a large emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia.
It is located approximately 7.500 light-years from Earth.
The brightest portion of the nebula is called NGC 896, but we also have Melotte 15, the core of this nebula and the Fish Head Nebula.
This Nebula is also made up of ionised oxygen and sulfur gasses.
After almost 1.5 years without taking a single photo, I dusted off my telescope and I tried to see if everything was alright, I then pointed my telescope to the Heart Nebula just for checking if the motors of the mount were working correctly.
I suddently saw a lot of potential in my camera that I bought almost 1 year ago and I never used.
I decided to let the telescope run for 3 hours and when I saw the results of the HA channel I was amazed, so I also took the OIII channel the day after, ending up with a total integration time of 6 hrs, under a 50% illuminated moon and with a bit of fog. This is how quicky I fell in love again with astrophotography in a bortle 9, white zone.

Dive into the enigmatic beauty of the Dark Wolf Nebula, a stunning dark nebula within the rich star fields of the Milky Way. Its silhouette resembles the profile of a wolf, surrounded by glowing hydrogen and the glittering jewels of countless stars.
✨ Distance from Earth: Approximately 1,500 light-years
📏 Size: Spans roughly 10 light-years across
⭐ Absolute Magnitude: Not applicable for dark nebulae (absorbs rather than emits light)
⭐ Apparent Magnitude: Difficult to determine due to its dark, light-absorbing nature
📍 Coordinates (J2000): Right Ascension 20h 15m 45s | Declination +40° 45′ 30″
🌟 Did You Know?
The Dark Wolf Nebula is part of a dense molecular cloud complex that actively forms new stars.
It appears dark because its thick dust absorbs visible light, but infrared telescopes can peer into these regions to reveal hidden stellar nurseries.
Dark nebulae like this are crucial to understanding the early stages of star formation and the dynamic life cycles of galaxies.
Let this celestial wolf inspire awe and curiosity. What do you see in its intricate details? Share your interpretations below! 🌠

My 1:500 LEGO model of the NASA long-range explorer "Endurance" from the movie Interstellar, rotating at 5.5 rpm to create an artifical gravity of 1g. It's an animation of the digital model done in Blender.
This was prompted by a comment from Thomus Bean that it would be neat to have a spinning model. But while the real model is attached to a stand right at the center of rotation, it's unfortunately not freely rotatable due to stability reasons. So I fired up Blender and did a little animation of the Endurance in space, using the exact rotation speed it has at normal operation. Of course the famous docking scene where it rotates at ~67 rpm would be a lot more interesting to recreate, but since that involves partially destroying the model as well as more intricate mise-en-scéne for my humble Blender abilities, I leave that for a future project.
Instructions for the Endurance can be found on Rebrickable.
ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) has obtained new images of 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar object discovered last week. Identified as a comet, 3I/ATLAS is only the third visitor from outside the Solar System ever found, after 1I/ʻOumuamua and 2I/Borisov. Its highly eccentric hyperbolic orbit, unlike that of objects in the Solar System, gave away its interstellar origin.
In this VLT timelapse, 3I/ATLAS is seen moving to the right over the course of about 13 minutes. These data were obtained with the FORS2 instrument on the VLT on the night of 3 July 2025, just two days after the comet was first discovered. The data were made immediately public through the ESO archive.
At the end of the video, we see all frames stacked into a single image: the deepest and best to date we have of this foreign object. But this record won’t hold for long as the comet is getting closer to Earth and becoming less faint. Currently more than 600 million kilometres away from the Sun, 3I/ATLAS is travelling towards the inner Solar System and is expected to make its closest approach to Earth in late October 2025. While 3I/ATLAS will be hiding behind the Sun at that point, it will become observable again in December 2025, as it makes its way back to interstellar space.
Telescopes around the world, including the VLT, will continue to observe this rare celestial visitor for as long as they can, to find out more about its shape, its composition and its origin. What surprises will these observations reveal? Stay tuned!

The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope observed interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS on 6 August 2025 using its Near-Infrared Spectrograph. The research team is analysing Webb’s data, with a preprint now available online. Webb is one of several space telescopes studying this comet, helping to reveal its size, physical properties, and chemical composition. For example, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and NASA’s recently launched SPHEREx mission have also observed it. While the comet poses no threat to Earth, such observations support astronomers in their ongoing mission to find, track, and better understand objects in our Solar System.
[Image description: Three-panel infrared image of comet 3I/ATLAS taken by JWST on August 6, 2025. The left panel shows the overall IR image with a bright white core fading to red, orange, and blue. The center and right panels show flux maps highlighting CO₂ at 4.3μm and H₂O at 2.7μm, respectively, with insets showing spectral line profiles confirming molecular signatures.]

Gave my tech three choices, including this one we used not too long ago. "Well, you know what I'm going to pick!" she said. I guess I do now.
Sometimes, stars form in walls -- bright walls of interstellar gas. In this vivid skyscape, stars are forming in the W-shaped ridge of emission known as the Cygnus Wall. Part of a larger emission nebula with a distinctive outline popularly called The North America Nebula, the cosmic ridge spans about 20 light-years. Constructed using narrowband data to highlight the telltale reddish glow from ionized hydrogen atoms recombining with electrons, the image mosaic follows an ionization front with fine details of dark, dusty forms in silhouette. Sculpted by energetic radiation from the region's young, hot, massive stars, the dark shapes inhabiting the view are clouds of cool gas and dust with stars likely forming within. The North America Nebula itself, NGC 7000, is about 1,500 light-years away. via NASA ift.tt/2d4Liaw
