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.

The Elephant's Trunk Nebula is a concentration of interstellar gas and dust within the much larger ionized gas region IC 1396 located in the constellation Cepheus about 2,400 light-years away from Earth. The piece of the nebula shown here is the dark, dense globule IC 1396
The Elephant's Trunk Nebula is now thought to be a site of star formation, containing several very young (less than 100,000 yr) stars that were discovered in infrared images in 2003.

Compared to the previous versions, I think I've managed to capture the distinct arrow-head shape much better, along with the low profile angles. It's also about 30% bigger now and that has meant I've been able to really go to town on the windows!

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.

Have a fantastic weekend my friends :)
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!

Taken from the AstroAtlas Observatory situated in Noventa di Piave (ITALY), this is NGC7380 in Bi-Color version.
I have acquired it with half moon.
Unfortunately, during the post processing, I struggled with an halo due to the fact some lights entered inside the camera from a small hole...
I hope you like it and clear skies!
NOTE: The image was acquired from a polluted sky with high humidity - Bortle 5.

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.

It was lightpainted and the sky is a combination of two separate shots. One long exposure (1/2 hour) and one short (30 seconds).
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.

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

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.
You've got one more day to check out this out of this world festival by Dangerland. Go see it for yourself, folks! Interstellar Festival!
This artist’s illustration shows the wayward 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.
Researchers suggest this “outgassing” is one possible cause for ‘Oumuamua’s slight acceleration, as detected by several telescopes. The irregularly shaped object is now traveling away at about 70,000 miles per hour. The orbits of the major planets are included for scale. The box-shaped constellation Corvus is in the background near image center, and the bright blue star Spica is at upper left of center, in the constellation Virgo. The stars at bottom left belong to the constellation Hydra.
As the complex rotation of the object makes it difficult to determine the exact shape, there are many models of what it could look like.
