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!
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 💜
Hope you enjoy! Please Favourite & Follow to view my newest upcoming works, Thank you
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.

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.

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.

Today's story and sketch by me #1255 Is about Marty the young (MCPPOTG), Man Cave Posse Protectors Of The Galaxy Deputy, Marty is the latest short straw volunteer to attempt to fly into the Stargate that appears every Tuesday at exactly 12:15 pm. The Stargate appears next to the Budahunga Banana Palm you see to the right in this sketch. The distinguished fellow on the left is Deputy Papi, from the Planet Oblate, Papi is currently Budahunga's official semi professional priest, greeter, coroner, pathologist, and before taking a wrong turn in a worm hole on his way to Palm Springs, for a shuffleboard tournament, crash landed here on Budahunga. No one is sure what Papi did before arriving here, or what the big stick he is holding with the Crystal that at times gives off a green glowing cloud that smells like very aged Monkfish. Papi is giving a blessing to Marty's Interstellar Glider before the Stargate appears in a just a few minutes, and he is off into another dimension or another Galaxy. Marty will be keeping detailed notes of where the Stargate takes his tiny craft, and hopefully can use his notes to backtrack back to Budahunga. That should be an exciting tale to report, if hopefully Marty returns. Until then TaTa the Rod Blog.

The Geminid Meteor Shower is my favorite night out haunt & yet is such a big deal breaker...You know, it falls on our marriage anniversary. Being out the entire night, alone as you might have guessed it, is a big No-No, if I want to stay happily married & yet such are the magnetic powers of these interstellar meteors, that in spite of them falling on almost the same anniversary days, every year I keep a date with "The GMS," with many electoral promises given to my better half.
Geminid meteor shower is not just one shot but a wholesome experience. I reached around sundown & after a 40 minutes hike up the steep incline with my twenty-two kgs of equipment, pitched the tent on top of the Don Hill Station, which now is reckoned as the second highest hill of Gujarat. The shooting began at twilight & lasted till three in the morning. It was one real frigidly cold & windy night with the tent promising to blow away any time but it was one awesome experience. To creak your neck up & see these frequent streaks of magical light radiate from the Gemini constellation & dash all over the sky brought a childlike exuberance. Each shooting star as otherwise called in a layman's parlance, made me cross my fingers & make me wish that I'd not skip my anniversary next year to photograph this again! B|
Wishful thinking!
Happy Anniversary Neha! :)
This photograph is a composite image of ten images taken during the whole shower.
A remake of the Interstellar Spaceship in as much gold as I could muster. Fit for King Midas himself!

In the garden the only sound was the birds. Time seemed to move slowly when she was there... she moved slowly, peace washed through her... timeless. Interstellar 🌺

This is my parents garden, I go there most weekends and sometimes annoy my mother by taking a doll with me. This tree flowered so quickly, I wasn’t expecting it at all but was glad I’d brought Stellar with me last weekend. It was raining a little but she didn’t mind 🌸
On October 10 I went to a business meetup organized by the Swiss American Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco. On that day Earth was subjected to strong solar winds, which caused auroras way into the continental USA. After the event I drove along the Skyline Boulevard, a road that follows the ridge of the hills that separate the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. After taking some shots of the aurora facing north, I turned around and took this shot of the moon rising over a sea of fog. The vintage "Dream Lens" creates these weird lens flares, which I love.
I processed a realistic and a balanced HDR photo from two RAW exposures, blended them, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
