This image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows infant stars "hatching" in the head of the hunter constellation, Orion. Astronomers suspect that shockwaves from a supernova explosion in Orion's head, nearly three million years ago, may have initiated this newfound birth..
.
The region featured in this Spitzer image is called Barnard 30. It is located approximately 1,300 light-years away and sits on the right side of Orion's head, just north of the massive star Lambda Orionis..
.
Wisps of green in the cloud are organic molecules called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are formed anytime carbon-based materials are burned incompletely. On Earth, they can be found in the sooty exhaust from automobile and airplane engines. They also coat the grills where charcoal-broiled meats are cooked..
.
Tints of orange-red in the cloud are dust particles warmed by the newly forming stars. The reddish-pink dots at the top of the cloud are very young stars embedded in a cocoon of cosmic gas and dust. Blue spots throughout the image are background Milky Way along this line of sight..
.
This composite includes data from Spitzer's infrared array camera instrument, and multiband imaging photometer instrument. Light at 4.5 microns is shown as blue, 8.0 microns is green, and 24 microns is red.

Subshock and Evangelos are the curators behind this melodically dynamic psy trance and bass house infused banger. They reworked the song together for Juicy M and the outcome is truly fantastic. Encompassing some serious house vibes and hardcore rhythm, the track coincidentally titled “Psyhaus” was recently released on Spinnin Records. Undoubtably the largest house record label in the world, this is a big release for any artist big or small. No stranger to this genre these two are more so spearheading the bass house style with innovation and ensuring that they keep it fresh as a duo.
The artists sat down to answer some questions over the phone which was a neat experience and a pleasure to get a deeper insight on their story.
How did it feel to get your release signed to Spinnin’ Records?
Evangelos: It felt so good to know that after working hard in that tune for months, tested out so many times and did millions of tweaks to get the perfect mixdown it got signed by the biggest label in the EDM industry. We are also very happy to see the good reactions to this release, we feel like it’s really something fresh!
You’ve been signed to many labels, including Dim Mak, MixMash, and other labels in partnership with Warner Bros. – what advice would you give to producers aiming to get on established labels?
Subshock: Well, we always advice to be patient, work hard and be humble and eventually it will happen, you only need to get noticed by working hard every day. A lot of people says that it is all about connections, which it is true, but not everybody is born having those connections. You need to go out there and network like hell. And of course, it was a matter of working hard on our craft and keep grinding every day and at last, never give up. It took us years for our debut release on Spinnin’ and it definitely didn’t happen overnight!
How did the idea for “JUICY M VS. SUBSHOCK AND EVANGELOS – PSYHAUS” come about?
Evangelos: There is not a really big history here, we are just big fans of Psytrance and Bass House, we play both styles in our shows and we decided to risk a little bit and mix them together. To breakthrough as an artist, we think you should be a bit innovative and just release crazy stuff. This new blend can work really well for our performances and we can’t wait to play it out again. We got some more cooking up as we speak, this year we’ll have lots of music out there, we want to release one track every month like last year!
Did the two of you had solo careers before linking up to form the duo?
Subshock: I started as solo act making dubstep and drum step, under those days I used to release on labels like Excision’s Rottun Records or Dieselboy’s Subhuman and gaining support from big Bass names that helped me tour Europe and North America.
Evangelos: I first started with a partner in a formation called Noiserippers making Dubstep, it was a good time. After some time, we parted ways and went solo under the name Evangelos where I started producing Progressive House. Later I came back to Bass as it satisfies me much more to produce it. When I started I was resident to Zoologico in Madrid, it was the center of Bass/EDM in Spain, that’s where I met Subshock and after doing some b2b sets and doing a couple of tracks we decided to keep going together. Our first collab was “Rebound” and it did really well in Spain, that’s how we knew we were good working together!
Will you be touring in 2019? What have been some of your favorite memories when performing at live events?
Subshock: Yeah of course we will be touring, we are already preparing our second tour around China and getting set some other shows around the globe. We also love to play more in the east part of Europe, people go crazy there!
Well, it always creates really good memories to spend time doing what you love with one of your best buddies you know? But it is also special to see how people are reacting when we play PSYHAUS, they don’t expect the Psytrance part and their faces when it switches is priceless.
Evangelos: Not long ago we were in China and to appear on stage we had to wait for a screen to open and we had to go through it, our intro was playing and people were going crazy, and as we were on stage, Subshock took the pendrive out thinking it belonged to the previous DJ and the music went dead! Now we laugh but at the moment we wanted to dissapear!
What techniques do each of you use to help boost creativity in the studio?
Subshock: We actually started to be a duo also because our workflow in the studio was quite similar but also complementary at the same time, but there is not really a technique. Maybe we could say that the best technique is to combine a lot of hours in the studio with some free time out of it enjoying life with friends and family.
Evangelos: Don’t be afraid to use lots of distorsion, use the buses to mix and control the overall track, be original and take breaks every 3 hours! Oh yeah, and use multiband compression! Also try to do original tracks, experiment and find your own sound. It someone listens to your track and recognizes it as your sound, you are on the right track.
What goals or plans do you have that you guys would like to share for 2019?
Subshock: I think that our main goal for the 2019 is to finally do a tour over the USA but also keep working, risking and give love and fun to those who follow and support us.
Evangelos: We’ve been working hard over 2018 to find our sound and we think we found it, Bass House lets us try lots of things with powerful sounds we love and let us experiment with different BPMs. Before doing a 150 BPMs PSYHAUS track we released a couple of Bass House tracks with the same BPMs and people loved them so we thought it was a good idea to keep the BPMs and give it a twist, expect more like that!
Be sure to follow Subshock and Evangelos if you like their new track Psyhaus!

Il Soundblox® Pro Multiwave Distortion incorpora 23 tipi di effetti diversi, moderni ed accattivanti, più un equalizzatore grafico a 7 bande e sei memorie a disposizione dell'utente. Con tutte queste caratteristiche di flessibilità e programmabilità è un pedale perfetto sia per il live che per lo studio di registrazione.
Quello che rende unico Multiwave è la possibilità di poter eseguire la distorsione processando il segnale sia in modalità singola che multi-banda. Il processo multi-banda divide il segnale in distinte frequenze, poi esegue la distorsione separatamente e ricombina il segnale per l'uscita. Il risultato è una distorsione chiara con un robusto attacco e una ottima articolazione di note.Il processo in modalità singola banda usa invece un approccio più convenzionale, applicando la distorsione all'intero segnale. Il risultato è un set di toni per chitarra "classici" ma ugualmente espressivi. Le categorie di processo sono ulteriormente suddivise in tre sottocategorie che vanno dal "normale" per una curva di distorsione tradizionale, al settaggio estremo "foldback" e "octave" per avere un suono più aggressivo e una distorsione da synth.
L'equalizzatore grafico a 7 bande con un controllo di +/-12 dB da la possibilità di fare una seria manipolazione sul suono. Inoltre i suoni personali possono essere salvati nelle sei memorie preset, pronti ad essere richiamati velocemente tramite tre footswitch.
La serie Pro include anche un MIDI input che permette un accesso ai preset e ai parametri tramite un MIDI controller esterno, ed è compatibile con il controllo di movimento Hot Hand® per avere ancora più capacità espressive.
Caratteristiche:
• Ampia gamma di suoni - 23 varianti dei nostri unici algoritmi di distorsione più una modalità CLEAN BOOST + EQ.
• Processore Multibanda - Il segnale viene diviso in bande per poi essere distorto individualmente per ottenere un suono più chiaro.
• DSP ultima generazione - Digital Signal Processor proprietario della Source Audio a 56 bit, il SA601, e convertitori AD/DA a 24-bit totalmente trasparenti.
• 6 preset programmabili - Preset facili da programmare in due banchi selezionabili con i tre interruttori per un accesso veloce accesso ai suoni preferiti.
• Equalizzatore a 7 bande — Equalizzatore a 7 bande estremamente preciso, memorizzabile nei preset per un controllo del suono più accurato .
• Sound Morphing - Ingresso per pedale d'espressione permette il passaggio morbido da un suono all'altro dei vari banchi di preset.
• Compatibilità MIDI - Ingresso MIDI per avere accesso dall'esterno ai preset e ai parametri
• Motion Control - tutti i pedali Soundblox e Soundblox Pro sono "Hot Hand® Ready" e possono essere usati con qualsiasi sensore di movimento Hot Hand® in modo da estendere la compatibilità delle unità.
• Active Analog Bypass - nel modo bypass il segnale di ingresso viene completamente escluso dal DSP in modo da non avere degradazioni del segnale (zero signal degradation).
• Alimentatore a 9V incluso.
• Dimensioni: 17.8cm (profondità) x 15.25cm (larghezza) x 5cm (altezza, incluse le manopole).

Edited Spitzer Space Telescope image of the region around Rho Ophiuchi, showing lots of nebulae and stars.
Original caption: Newborn stars peek out from beneath their natal blanket of dust in this dynamic image of the Rho Ophiuchi dark cloud from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Called "Rho Oph" by astronomers, it's one of the closest star-forming regions to our own solar system. Located near the constellations Scorpius and Ophiuchus, the nebula is about 407 light years away from Earth.
Rho Oph is a complex made up of a large main cloud of molecular hydrogen, a key molecule allowing new stars to form from cold cosmic gas, with two long streamers trailing off in different directions. Recent studies using the latest X-ray and infrared observations reveal more than 300 young stellar objects within the large central cloud. Their median age is only 300,000 years, very young compared to some of the universe's oldest stars, which are more than 12 billion years old.
This false-color image of Rho Oph's main cloud, Lynds 1688, was created with data from Spitzer's infrared array camera, which has the highest spatial resolution of Spitzer's three imaging instruments, and its multiband imaging photometer, best for detecting cooler
materials. Blue represents 3.6-micron light; green shows light of 8 microns; and red is 24-micron light. The multiple wavelengths reveal different aspects of the dust surrounding and between the embedded stars, yielding information about the stars and their birthplace.
The colors in this image reflect the relative temperatures and evolutionary states of the various stars. The youngest stars are surrounded by dusty disks of gas from which they, and their potential planetary systems, are forming. These young disk systems show up as red in this image. Some of these young stellar objects are surrounded by their own compact nebulae. More evolved stars, which have shed their natal material, are blue.

Looking like a spiders web swirled into a spiral, the galaxy IC 342 presents its delicate pattern of dust in this image from NASAs Spitzer Space Telescope. Seen in infrared light, the faint starlight gives way to the glowing bright patterns of dust found throughout the galaxys disk.
At a distance of about 10 million light-years, IC 342 is relatively close by galaxy standards, however our vantage point places it directly behind the disk of our own Milky Way. The intervening dust makes it difficult to see in visible light, but infrared light penetrates this veil easily. It belongs to the same group as its even more obscured galaxy neighbor, Maffei 2.
IC 342 is nearly face-on to our view giving a clear, top-down view of the structure of its disk. It has a low surface brightness compared to other spirals, indicating a lower density of stars (seen here in blue). Its dust structures show up much more vividly (yellow-green).
New stars are forming in the disk at a healthy clip. Glowing like gems trapped in the web, regions of heavy star formation appear as yellow-red dots due to the glow of warm dust. The very center glows especially brightly in the infrared, highlighting an enormous burst of star formation occurring in this tiny region. To either side of the center, a small bar of dust and gas is helping to fuel this central star formation.
Data from Spitzers infrared array camera (IRAC) are shown in blue (3.6 and 4.5 microns) and green (5.8 and 8.0 microns) while the multiband imaging photometer (MIPS) observation is red (24 microns).
Edited Spitzer Space Telescope PR image of the Cepheus C and Cepheus B region and associated nebula. Inverted grayscale variant.

Original caption: This image was compiled using data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope using the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) and the Multiband Imaging Photometer (MIPS) during Spitzer's "cold" mission, before the spacecraft's liquid helium coolant ran out in 2009. The colors correspond with IRAC wavelengths of 3.6 microns (blue), 4.5 microns (cyan) and 8 microns (green), and 24 microns (red) from the MIPS instrument.
The green-and-orange delta filling most of this image is a nebula, or a cloud of gas and dust. This region formed from a much larger cloud of gas and dust that has been carved away by radiation from stars.
The bright region at the tip of the nebula is dust that has been heated by the stars' radiation, which creates the surrounding red glow. The white color is the combination of four colors (blue, green, orange and red), each representing a different wavelength of infrared light, which is invisible to human eyes.
The massive stars illuminating this region belong to a star cluster that extends above the white spot.
On the left side of this image, a dark filament runs horizontally through the green cloud. A smattering of baby stars (the red and yellow dots) appear inside it. Known as Cepheus C, the area is a particularly dense concentration of gas and dust where infant stars form. This region is called Cepheus C because it lies in the constellation Cepheus, which can be found near the constellation Cassiopeia. Cepheus-C is about 6 light-years long, and lies about 40 light-years from the bright spot at the tip of the nebula.
The small, red hourglass shape just below Cepheus C is V374 Ceph. Astronomers studying this massive star have speculated that it might be surrounded by a nearly edge-on disk of dark, dusty material. The dark cones extending to the right and left of the star are a shadow of that disk.
The smaller nebula on the right side of the image includes a blue star crowned by a small, red arc of light. This "runaway star" is plowing through the gas and dust at a rapid clip, creating a shock wave or "bow shock" in front of itself.
Some features identified in the annotated image are more visible in the IRAC data alone, found here.

This image layout compares visible (left) and infrared views of the North America nebula, taken by the Digitized Sky Survey and NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, respectively..
.
The nebula is named after its resemblance to the North America content in visible light. This visible view highlights the eastern seaboard and Gulf of Mexico regions. In infrared light, the continent disappears. The "Mexican Riviera" -- the west coast of Mexico -- seems to invert in texture and brightness, as does the "neck" region of the Pelican nebula, named for its resemblance to a pelican. This nebula can be seen to the right of the North America nebula in the visible image. The Gulf of Mexico transforms from a dark cloud into a "river" of hundreds of young stars..
.
These pictures look different in part because infrared light can penetrate dust whereas visible light cannot. Dusty, dark clouds in the visible image become transparent in Spitzer's view. In addition, Spitzer's infrared detectors pick up the glow of dusty cocoons enveloping baby stars..
.
The Spitzer image contains data from both its infrared array camera and multiband imaging photometer. Light with a wavelength of 3.6 microns has been color-coded blue; 4.5-micron light is blue-green; 5.8-micron and 8.0-micron light are green; and 24-micron light is red.

This swirling landscape of stars is known as the North America nebula. In visible light, the region resembles North America, but in this new infrared view from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, the continent disappears..
.
Where did the continent go? The reason you don't see it in Spitzer's view has to do, in part, with the fact that infrared light can penetrate dust whereas visible light cannot. Dusty, dark clouds in the visible image become transparent in Spitzer's view. In addition, Spitzer's infrared detectors pick up the glow of dusty cocoons enveloping baby stars..
.
Clusters of young stars (about one million years old) can be found throughout the image. Slightly older but still very young stars (about 3 to 5 million years) are also liberally scattered across the complex, with concentrations near the "head" region of the Pelican nebula, which is located to the right of the North America nebula (upper right portion of this picture)..
.
Some areas of this nebula are still very thick with dust and appear dark even in Spitzer's view. For example, the dark "river" in the lower left-center of the image -- in the Gulf of Mexico region -- are likely to be the youngest stars in the complex (less than a million years old)..
.
The Spitzer image contains data from both its infrared array camera and multiband imaging photometer. Light with a wavelength of 3.6 microns has been color-coded blue; 4.5-micron light is blue-green; 5.8-micron and 8.0-micron light are green; and 24-micron light is red.

Where Darkness Breathes Light — The California Nebula Under a Pristine Sky
Stretching across the constellation Perseus, the California Nebula (NGC 1499) glows like a slow-burning ember suspended in interstellar night. This vast emission nebula spans nearly 100 light-years and shines primarily through hydrogen-alpha emission, energized by the intense ultraviolet radiation of the hot, nearby star Xi Persei. What appears as a soft crimson mist is, in truth, a dynamic region where hydrogen atoms recombine and release light after being stripped by stellar photons.
This image is the result of 111 individual exposures, each 300 seconds long, carefully stacked and processed to reveal faint structures otherwise invisible to the human eye. Captured under a Bortle 2 sky, the darkness itself became a collaborator—allowing delicate filaments and subtle gradients to emerge without the veil of artificial light pollution.
Dark skies are not empty; they are alive with ancient photons traveling for thousands of years before reaching our sensors. Protecting them preserves not only scientific discovery, but our shared cosmic heritage. When we defend the night, we allow the universe to speak in its own quiet, luminous language.

This infrared image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows the Helix nebula, a cosmic starlet often photographed by amateur astronomers for its vivid colors and eerie resemblance to a giant eye.
The nebula, located about 700 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius, belongs to a class of objects called planetary nebulae. Discovered in the 18th century, these cosmic butterflies were named for their resemblance to gas-giant planets.
Planetary nebulae are actually the remains of stars that once looked a lot like our sun.
When sun-like stars die, they puff out their outer gaseous layers. These layers are heated by the hot core of the dead star, called a white dwarf, and shine with infrared and visible-light colors. Our own sun will blossom into a planetary nebula when it dies in about five billion years.
In Spitzer's infrared view of the Helix nebula, the eye looks more like that of a green monster's. Infrared light from the outer gaseous layers is represented in blues and greens. The white dwarf is visible as a tiny white dot in the center of the picture. The red color in the middle of the eye denotes the final layers of gas blown out when the star died.
The brighter red circle in the very center is the glow of a dusty disk circling the white dwarf (the disk itself is too small to be resolved). This dust, discovered by Spitzer's infrared heat-seeking vision, was most likely kicked up by comets that survived the death of their star. Before the star died, its comets and possibly planets would have orbited the star in an orderly fashion. But when the star blew off its outer layers, the icy bodies and outer planets would have been tossed about and into each other, resulting in an ongoing cosmic dust storm. Any inner planets in the system would have burned up or been swallowed as their dying star expanded.
The Helix nebula is one of only a few dead-star systems in which evidence for comet survivors has been found.
This image is made up of data from Spitzer's infrared array camera and multiband imaging photometer. Blue shows infrared light of 3.6 to 4.5 microns; green shows infrared light of 5.8 to 8 microns; and red shows infrared light of 24 microns.
This swirling landscape of stars is known as the North America nebula. In visible light, the region resembles North America, but in this new infrared view from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, the continent disappears..
.
Where did the continent go? The reason you don't see it in Spitzer's view has to do, in part, with the fact that infrared light can penetrate dust whereas visible light cannot. Dusty, dark clouds in the visible image become transparent in Spitzer's view. In addition, Spitzer's infrared detectors pick up the glow of dusty cocoons enveloping baby stars..
.
Clusters of young stars (about one million years old) can be found throughout the image. Slightly older but still very young stars (about 3 to 5 million years) are also liberally scattered across the complex, with concentrations near the "head" region of the Pelican nebula, which is located to the right of the North America nebula (upper right portion of this picture)..
.
Some areas of this nebula are still very thick with dust and appear dark even in Spitzer's view. For example, the dark "river" in the lower left-center of the image -- in the Gulf of Mexico region -- are likely to be the youngest stars in the complex (less than a million years old)..
.
The Spitzer image contains data from both its infrared array camera and multiband imaging photometer. Light with a wavelength of 3.6 microns has been color-coded blue; 4.5-micron light is blue-green; 5.8-micron and 8.0-micron light are green; and 24-micron light is red.

This glowing emerald nebula seen by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has been sculpted by the powerful light of giant "O" stars. O stars are the most massive type of star known to exist.
Named RCW 120, this region of hot gas and glowing dust can be found in the murky clouds encircled by the tail of the constellation Scorpius. The ring of dust is actually glowing in infrared colors that our eyes cannot see, but show up brightly when viewed by Spitzer's infrared detectors. At the center of this ring are a couple of giant stars whose intense ultraviolet light has carved out the bubble, though they blend in with other stars when viewed in infrared.
This bubble is far from unique; Spitzer has found that such bubbles are common and can be found around O stars throughout our Milky Way galaxy. The small objects at the lower right area of the image may themselves be similar regions seen at much greater distances across the galaxy.
Rings like this are so common in Spitzer's observations that astronomers have even enlisted the help of the public to help them find and catalog them all. Anyone interested in joining the search as a citizen scientist can visit "The Milky Way Project," part of the "Zooniverse" of public astronomy projects, at www.milkywayproject.org/ .
RCW 120 can be found slightly above the flat plane of our galaxy, located toward the bottom of the picture. The green haze seen here is the diffuse glow of dust from the galactic plane.
This is a three-color composite that shows infrared observations from two Spitzer instruments. Blue represents 3.6-micron light and green shows light of 8 microns, both captured by Spitzer's infrared array camera. Red is 24-micron light detected by Spitzer's multiband imaging photometer.
I got my "General" class amateur radio license in January, but had only been using a short-distance (up to 30 miles) VHF/UHF handheld radio until recently. I got this HF/VHF/UHF multiband radio a couple weeks ago to operate on the HF bands (160m to 6m wavelength). Even though my antenna is installed temporarily indoors through my second floor bedrooms, it is working quite well. My farthest contact is Germany, over 4,000 miles away, using only 75W of power, on the 17m band in phone SSB mode.
