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!
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
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 Iris Nebula
At 1300 light years away and 6 light years across, The Iris Nebula, NGC7203, is a bright reflection nebula located in the constellation Cepheus. The light emitted by the star cluster in the centre of this nebula, reflects from the interstellar dust and gives the blue colour, and due to the resemblance with the iris flower, the name of this object. The brownish area around the reflection nebula consist of “space dust” blocking the light from the stars behind it creating blank, dark areas.
Taken 10 to 13 August 2022 from my Back garden, 98% to 96% Moon, so a challenging capture, but with frequent poor weather you just have to go for it! First time trying to expose the dust in post processing so many attempts, versions and exploring techniques before settling on this result.

The Milky Way Rises into the night sky at Bodie Island Lighthouse in the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
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.

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.
A remake of the Interstellar Spaceship in as much gold as I could muster. Fit for King Midas himself!
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.

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 🌸

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.
