An illustration of ‘Oumuamua, the first object we’ve ever seen pass through our own solar system that has interstellar origins.
In October, a mysterious object zipped through our solar system at 196,000 mph. Scientists named it ‘Oumuamua, which means “a messenger from afar arriving first” in Hawaiian, and it’s the first object we’ve ever seen that entered from outside our solar system. Now our astrophysicists have helped calculate how it fits into what we know about how planetary systems form.
“This object was likely ejected from a distant star system,” said Elisa Quintana, an astrophysicist at Goddard. “What’s interesting is that just this one object flying by so quickly can help us constrain some of our planet formation models.”
On Sept. 19, ‘Oumuamua sped past the Sun at about 196,000 mph (315,400 km/h), fast enough to escape the Sun’s gravitational pull and break free of the solar system, never to return. Usually, an object traveling at a similar speed would be a comet falling sunward from the outer solar system. Comets are icy objects that range between house-sized to many miles across. But they usually shed gas and dust as they approach the Sun and warm up. ‘Oumuamua didn’t. Some scientists interpreted this to mean that ‘Oumuamua was a dry asteroid.

Over the past year or so I have been finding myself shooting more intimates and abstracts. Abstract patterns typically portray an artistic side of nature and they frequently resonate with modern art.
Perched above Mendenhall Glacier, Aaron and I looked down upon the textures and crevices of the glacier. Compacted by gravity the ice formed rugged shelves but at the edge of the glacier I spotted a section with smoother textures resembling those of dunes. A combination of blue ice, black dirt, and white, these dunes reminded me of a painting of a barren freezing landscape.

so hot yesterday, stayed inside with the cool on, our heat pump furnace is much appreciated now, 20 Celsius inside, 30 Celsius outside, way too hot for me. In the evening we drove to Fort Langley, and I suddenly saw that the sky was on fire behind me, and could only capture it in my side mirror. Wow, haven't seen a splendiferous sunset like that in years! and later there was heat lightening and even a brief pounding rainfall, very exciting. Its a few degrees cooler today, thank God.

Strabane Transmitting Station, Koram Hill, Legfordrum, County Tyrone
Early hours this morning we were bathed in one of the strongest and most vibrant Auroras in years! I had to choose my location to capture these northern lights and this old broadcast transmitter tower always makes for a great composition, especially at night. I love how its red lights reflected off the surrounding clouds and ground, adding a sci-fi vibe to the scene. Both these man-made and natural sources of light reflected/blended perfectly together adding some colour to what may have been otherwise a very dark scene.
I’m a sci-fi lover 👽 and can’t help but wonder if there are any interstellar messages coded within these Aurora rays 😄 It’s good to let the mind wonder under skies like these created by the raw energy of our sun and deep space combined.....
Constructed in 1963 this television broadcast tower stands 1,002 ft high, which today still the record for the tallest structure in all of Ireland! This transmission tower is respected by the folk of Strabane town and surrounding areas. If you live in Strabane and are ever returning home from a trip, then this broadcast tower is always the first thing you see from a great distance on your return. It may be an old iron reception tower to an onlooking stranger, but to us it’s a landmark beacon of our little town 💜

Due to the new shitty layout decided to put max 1600px pictures in the future.
Have a fantastic weekend my friends :)
Do not go gentle into that good night
Old age should burn and rave at close of day
Rage, rage against the dying of the light

I have often wondered if my local woodland would be suitable for some night photography, tonight I found out.
Putting all my irrational fear to one side, I walked deep into the woods and held my ground as the light of the day ebbed away and the darkness of the night crept in.
The creaking of branches and snapping of twigs underfoot, the sniffling and snorting of badgers, the shrieks of owls and foxes slowly raised in volume from all around, but my gaze and concentration were transfixed at the appearance of the universe above, I found perspective!

Old Kanyaka Ruins.
This is an old sheep station in the Flinders Ranges.

It was lightpainted and the sky is a combination of two separate shots. One long exposure (1/2 hour) and one short (30 seconds).
All of Calatrava’s work celebrates movement, but none more fittingly than the Liège-Guillemins station. The soaring ribs of its massive roof and the repetitive arches of its auxiliary spaces’ long, arcaded sections are as dizzying as the state-of-the-art trains that dart across its tracks. Nothing about the lofty structure, which appears to change shape at every angle, is static.
Pensaba como en la memoria colectiva se ha arraigado cierta percepción acerca de como lucen cosas desconocidas. Conceptos creados como dioses, extraterrestres y demonios, etc. a todos les hemos asignado rostros y hasta actitudes, todo sin ninguna certeza de la existencia de estos entes.
supongo que es un fenomeno natural de la humanidad el unificar criterios visuales.

With the amount of Octan Space-freighters being attacked by Blacktron forces, the NCSA (Neo Classic Space Agency) brought a nimble attack fighter into production for defenses purposes only.
Subcontracting the assembly out to the highest bidder, the resulting strike craft was an insanely fast and powerful, but shoddily built ship.
With that reputation gaining traction at a rapid rate, the NCSA's enlistment rate for pilots skyrocketed. Each and every dare-devil in the system wanting to gain quick cash, and take one of the infamous "Shriekers" for a spin under protection by international trade law.
