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.

Messier 90 (also known as M90 and NGC 4569) is an intermediate spiral galaxy exhibiting a weak inner ring structure, it is about 60 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1781.
Messier 90 is a member of the Virgo Cluster, being one of its largest and brightest spiral galaxies, with an absolute magnitude of around -22 (brighter than the Andromeda Galaxy). The galaxy is located approximately 1°.5 away from the subgroup centered on Messier 87. As a consequence of the galaxy's interaction with the intra-cluster medium in the Virgo Cluster, the galaxy has lost much of its interstellar medium. As a result of this process, which is referred to as ram-pressure stripping, the galaxy's interstellar medium and star formation regions appear severely truncated compared to similar galaxies outside the Virgo Cluster and there are even H II regions outside the galactic plane, as well as long (up to 80 kpcs, 260,000 light-years) tails of ionized gas that has been stripped of M90.

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.

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!
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.
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

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.
