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.

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!
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.
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.

The Milky Way Rises into the night sky at Bodie Island Lighthouse in the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
I was so glad that I was able to see this movie in theaters the day after it came out. It instantly became my favorite movie, and I decided that I wanted to make a Ranger. However, after seeing all the amazing Rangers that others have built, I kind of lost interest for awhile.
It wasn't until the digital release that I decided to try. It's taken me since March to complete this, and I nearly gave up multiple times, but I really wanted a Ranger model in my collection, so I kept with it. Here are the end results. It does have some interior detailing, which was actually easier to do than the exterior. Sadly, I don't have to many Computer panel pieces, so it doesn't have a lot of screens like it does in the movie. Also, one last bit. I tried to scale this based on how big the Endurance is (There is an infographic that shows how big the Endurance -With Rangers- is compared to the U.S. Space Shuttle.) I used that to try and get a rough size for my Ranger model, and while it looks a little large when compared to minifigures, I am quite happy with the results.
Turns out my new photo setup takes amazing black background pictures. May have to build more white spaceships.
The life of a planetary nebula is often chaotic, from the death of its parent star to the scattering of its contents far out into space. Captured here by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, ESO 455-10 is one such planetary nebula, located in the constellation of Scorpius (The Scorpion).
The oblate shells of ESO 455-10, previously held tightly together as layers of its central star, not only give this planetary nebula its unique appearance, but also offer information about the nebula. Seen in a field of stars, the distinct asymmetrical arc of material over the north side of the nebula is a clear sign of interactions between ESO 455-10 and the interstellar medium.
The interstellar medium is the material such as diffuse gas between star systems and galaxies. The star at the center of ESO 455-10 allows Hubble to see the interaction with the gas and dust of the nebula, the surrounding interstellar medium, and the light from the star itself. Planetary nebulae are thought to be crucial in galactic enrichment as they distribute their elements, particularly the heavier metal elements produced inside a star, into the interstellar medium which will in time form the next generation of stars.

The interstellar medium fills the ‘empty’ space between the stars in our galaxy. It is a mix of molecular clouds, cold and warm gases, regions of electrically charged hydrogen, and more.
Molecular clouds are the densest part of the interstellar medium, holding most of its mass in the form of hydrogen gas. ESA’s Herschel space observatory has revealed that many are built around filaments, with dense threads snaking throughout each cloud. These filaments potentially transport material, and, when massive enough, are known to form new stars.
This Herschel image shows the Serpens Core, the heart of a giant molecular cloud. The Core is the bright clump towards the upper right, with a more diffuse secondary cluster, named Ser G3-G6, shown at the bottom right. Also visible as a faint yellow glow towards the upper left of the frame is a region known as LDN 583 that shines brightly in the far-infrared.
Giant molecular clouds contain up to 10 million times the mass of the Sun, and can stretch for hundreds of light-years. Compared to the rest of space they are dense, holding up to a thousand atoms per cubic centimetre – and even more in star-forming regions. However, these properties are relative: even at their densest, these clouds are more than 10 times emptier than the best laboratory vacuums we can produce on Earth.
These giant clouds are complex formations, most often made up of filaments mixed with clumpy and irregular folds, sheets and bubble-like structures. A typical spiral galaxy like the Milky Way can contain thousands of them, accompanied by many of their smaller relatives.
Serpens is an ideal target for scientists wanting to know more about giant molecular clouds, because it lies just 1400 light-years from us. Scientists compared Herschel’s observations of this cloud to a state-of-the-art simulation to find out more about the cloud’s properties, and to test the accuracy of their model.
They discovered a radial network of filaments stretching throughout the Serpens Core, filaments that are predicted to break and fragment to form the cores of new stars. These filaments resemble the spokes of a wheel, with the Core forming the hub.
This three-colour image is made from observations with Herschel’s PACS camera (blue and green) and SPIRE camera (red). The size of the region shown is 1.7x1.9º on the sky, where 1º corresponds to about 25 light-years.

The Ranger is a reconnaissance vehicle used during the Endurance mission in the spectacular film Interstellar. They are used for transporting the astronauts to Dr Miller's water planet and to Dr Mann's ice planet. Both Rangers in the movie are later destroyed, one in a failed docking attempt by the traitorous Dr Mann, and the other is sucked into the black hole Gargantua.
Hey guys! I'm happy to present my latest model, a near minifig-scale build of the Ranger spacecraft from the 2014 film Interstellar. This is one of my favorite builds I've done since joining Flickr, even though getting the shape and paneling correct was very difficult at times. The vehicle itself is very cool and feels surprisingly real, it's definitely one of the best things about the movie.
If you can, please check out these other angles and shots on my Flickr page!

As always, thanks for checking out my MOC, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
NGC1499, vast emission nebula visible in the constellation of Perseus. First time photographing 1499, better known as the California nebula, due to its resemblance to the American state of the same name.
Although very large, almost 2.5°, its brightness is very low, which does not make visual observation easy. It is located north of the fourth magnitude star Xi Persei, a blue-white main sequence star of spectral type O7, belonging to the Perseus OB2 stellar association, a group of young stars probably born from this interstellar cloud. The brightest star in Perseus OB2, Zeta Persei, is a class B1 white supergiant of magnitude 2.83 about half a degree south of the California Nebula. The California Nebula, almost 1000 light years away, is located in the direction of the outer galactic arm of Orion, the outer arm of our galaxy, the Milky Way. The entire nebula is a region of intense star formation.

Milky way and a shooting star. But what's the bright smudge close to the shooting star? Another galaxy?
She came and presented herself to us.
She’s beautiful but moving away from us.
The under currents are changing but I’m too distracted by her beauty to notice.

I've posted the complete series and it's story on Bored Panda
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.

This is what happens when the sun is at the right angle. I love the metallic texture of this wall and I have been trying to take a good photo of it for a while. I could never get something good until this day when the sun is at the right angle. It's a little hard to tell but the wall is not flat, hence the peculiar light.
It's called Interstellar because my friend said it reminds her of Interstellar. Don't ask me why she thought that. I couldn't think of a name for this so there you go.
