For my friend Connie in Ireland who wanted to know what my Buddy Icon was. Well here it is. The butterflies are real , manipulated in Photoshop. The rest of the image I created in Photoshop. 20 layers later and here it is.
Thank you
Brian
This artist's depiction shows the interstellar visitor
'Oumuamua (pronounced oh-MOO-ah-MOO-ah) racing toward the outskirts of our solar system. The object, heated by the Sun (lower right), is venting gaseous material from its surface, as a comet would.
Using observations from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based observatories, an international team of scientists have confirmed that 'Oumuamua, the first known interstellar object to travel through our solar system, got an unexpected boost in speed and shift in trajectory as it passed through the inner solar system last year. Researchers suggest this outgassing is one possible cause for 'Oumuamua's slight acceleration.

Could be Cooper and Dr. Ameilia Brand roaming the vastness of Dr. Mann's frozen planet in Interstellar, and actually that part was filmed here on Svínafellsjökull, an outlet glacier of the vast Vatnajokull icecap in Iceland

NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope's NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) instrument can map specific chemical and molecular signatures, as seen here in its three images of comet 3I/ATLAS, each highlighting a part of the comet’s contents.
Researchers use NIRSpec’s Integral Field Unit, which provides a spectrum of every image pixel, to dive deeper into the details of cosmic objects than they can with the telescope’s imaging instruments alone. This is crucial for a rare object like 3I/ATLAS, which is only the third comet from outside the Solar System ever studied, and the first to be observed by an instrument capable of capturing as much detail as NIRSpec. With NIRSpec’s data, researchers can build a picture of where the comet may have come from and what its home system was like and then compare that to familiar conditions in the Solar System.
[Image description: Comparison of three telescope images side by side. They are roughly spherical but pixelated, with more intense colour saturation in the centre. From left to right: smallest sphere is blue and labeled H2O, orange is larger and labeled CO2, and red is largest and labeled CO. A scale bar at the lower left is labeled 1300 km/1 arcsecond and is about one fourth of each of the three images. A compass at the lower right shows north pointing up to 12 o’clock, east pointing left to 9 o’clock, and a fainter arrow labeled to Sun pointing down to 8 o’clock.]

The Stardust Settler in an interstellar traveller designed for more than 70,000 years in deep space. Estimated to travel just close to 3/4 of light speed. It carries a mini fusion star that sheds light on the ship as it travels and creates livable habitats that rotate to create gravity. The Settler carries the Stardust Agitator on it's bow (capable of battle and planetary landing), two solar shuttles, four fighters, and a host of drop shuttles for emergencies and additional planetary reentry. Figures:
Stardust Settler: 140studs or about 44"
With Agitator undocked: 117 studs or about 37"
6 total LED are placed throughout the ship- one in the star, one in the bow as a menacing "eye", three on the rear as blinking thrusters with one additional in the aft bridge. The gravity wheel spins freely through the use of a hand crank the rear of the capital city (future plans may include a motor attachment). This build was started on Aug 31st 2019 and semi-documented via Flickr, Twitch and Discord.
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS imaged from Oxfordshire, UK before dawn on 21st November 2025. My husband Mark captured 3 minute exposures with our 8" Ritchey-Chretien telescope and an Altair Hypercam 294C. I calibrated and aligned all 25 FITS files in Deep Sky Stacker, processed them in Lightroom and used them to produce the timelapse showing the comet's movement over a1hr 50min period starting at 04:18 UT
Interstellar landing accomplished, the rocketry rovers await further exploratory instruxion. Cannibals are at rest, crews sated with rocket fuel kocktails, estuary awaits combined assembled assault. Roger!

ryan_keely: I'm going to the dome tonight!
The lighting was flat but the clouds were marvelous so I couldn't help but jump out of the Fastpass queue to run some quick brackets before boarding.
4 years later, I finally returned to finish up the Ranger. All the shaping is done, just waiting on some bricklink orders to get everything in the right color. The brick-built solutions I came up with for the windows left me unsatisfied so I'll be printing some stickers to mask them in.
A short brickfilm featuring the model will hopefully be done by early July. Thanks for looking.
Interstellar is a fantastic movie. I love the way it explores the depths of time dilation. And the Endurance is a cool unique looking ship.
I saw a lego version of the Ranger in the link below and thought I'd see if I could make one like his. I think it turned out okay. I put and opening hatch on the back and also gave it landing gear.

For fun I created an 8-bit level. This comes mostly from growing up playing the Atari 2600 and games on my Ti-99/4A home computer. All pixel art in Interstellar Force was created using pixel art editor Pixen for Mac
Had a fantastic night out photographing the stars with a great Mate. This was taken at Lake Moogerah. I was going to PS the plane out (bottom left) but decided to leave it in.

Thor's Helmet NGC 2359 (also known as Thor's Helmet) is an emission nebula in the constellation Canis Major. The nebula is approximately 3,670 parsecs (11.96 thousand light years) away and 30 light-years in size. The central star is the Wolf-Rayet star WR7, an extremely hot giant thought to be in a brief pre-supernova stage of evolution. It is similar in nature to the Bubble Nebula, but interactions with a nearby large molecular cloud are thought to have contributed to the more complex shape and curved bow-shock structure of Thor's Helmet. It is also catalogued as Sharpless 2-298 and Gum 4. The nebula has an overall bubble shape, but with complex filamentary structures. The nebula contains several hundred solar masses of ionised material, plus several thousand more of unionised gas. It is largely interstellar material swept up by winds from the central star, although some material does appear to be enriched with the products of fusion and is likely to come directly from the star. The expansion rate of different portions of the nebula varies from 10km/s to at least 30km/s, leading to age estimates of 78,500 - 236,000 years. The nebula has been studied at radio and x-ray wavelengths, but it is still unclear whether it was produced at the class O main sequence stage of development, as a red supergiant, luminous blue variable, or mainly as a Wolf-Rayet star.
