Is open-mindedness gladness to survive a moon journey in a capsule as this, or returning in 2025, lol.
I discovered a fantastic setup of an Alien world. A must see: Planet by Cica Ghost. Unfortunately it will be removed next Friday 19th of February. So visit fast.

It is hard to imagine that Comet NEOWISE will not be seen again for some 6,800 years. I've observed it every clear morning or night for the last couple of weeks. Last night, in its diminishing state, I finally broke out my tracker to get one last image.
Maybe next time it comes for a visit, I'll be much faster at getting my tracker set up.

July 2 is World UFO Day. Iris is an astronaut in outer space who has discovered a UFO. She wonders if the occupants of the UFO are friendly.
What’s so amazing that keeps us stargazing…? The night of the new moon was actually clear and dark for once in southwestern Pennsylvania - perfect for spending a few moments stargazing! It’s hard not to feel amazed when viewing and capturing the beautiful Milky Way!
During one of my photographing trips in the near desert, I saw a UFO or an unidentified flying object. I followed it and came across an alien from outer space.
The alien actually looked like an octopus. However, I immediately knew that it is not an octopus. How did I know that, you say?
I have just told you that I was in a desert. Have you ever seen an octopus living out of the water, silly?
People around the world started asking scientists questions about UFOs. Scientists who did not want to reveal such important secrets made an agency called NASA which stands for "Never Ask Scientists Anything."
Any way, I do believe that there are aliens living on other planet away from us. I do. I mean I do believe in aliens not that I do live on another planet. Although, to say the truth, I sometimes think that I did come form outer space.
Do you believe in aliens from outer space? Or do you really think that God created the whole very wide universe just for us?
How arrogant are humans!
Here are ten signs that aliens do exist:

The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky with apparent magnitude 4.0. It is about 1,344 light-years away and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light-years across (so its apparent size from Earth is approximately 1 degree). It has a mass of about 2,000 times that of the Sun. (ref. Wikipedia) This image was taken through some high, thin cloud cover.

Dark Time of The Planet
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
I was finishing another day on a new planet. At the end of the day, I start to enjoy the moment by climbing to the top of the mountain I am on to watch the sunset. The scenery is so perfect that I see that the camera I set up to record the sunset on video only takes a single frame photo instead of a video when the sunset is over. I was only able to take a single frame photo instead of a video with excitement and surprise in the face of that extraordinary sunset view. Although the photo frame I took was enough to show how unusual and unique the sunset was. However, I needed that video recording for some scientific analysis and detailed observations. I couldn't turn back time. I could sometimes make mistakes in my interplanetary travel. I said hello to the dark time of the planet, with billions of starscapes starting to become visible as the sun went down completely. The stars were so many and bright that it was impossible not to be enchanted by this unique landscape. It was as if the stars were turning the dark sky into a riot of colors and light. If I stretched my hand to the sky, it was as if they were close enough to touch the stars. Stardust surrounded them. They were in colorful pastel shades. I'm taking a few more photos. Then I lay back where I am and begin to watch the stars and the sight of stardust scattering from the dead stars. It never occurs to me to sleep in front of this unique star landscape. I'm almost losing myself. When I was on planet Earth, I could never see so many stars in the night sky. Interplanetary travel has blessed me with these unique cosmic landscapes. Maybe that's why I couldn't sleep at night. My soul refused to sleep in the face of these enormous cosmic landscapes. Maybe I was deliberately refusing to sleep. In my dreams, I was reliving the memories of living in the world over and over again. I was seeing the streets I lived in in my dreams. I dreamed of the woman I fell in love with. And this was giving me emotional pain when I woke up. I am aware that my emotional conflicts are increasing. I couldn't decide. Should I go back to earth? Or should I continue this deep space journey that I've embarked on? The purpose of my space travel was to find habitable planets. In fact, I had found enough planets suitable for living. But I had a new mission for myself. Finding the lost Plutonian civilization. For some reason I was obsessed with this lost civilization. I really wanted to find them. Only when I found them would I find out what had happened to the Plutonian civilization and why they had left their planet. In this way, I would also be able to learn why the planets I had visited, which were quite suitable for life but had no life on them, were so quiet. But at the same time, my human feelings began to revive. This situation was very challenging for me. I had a desire to return to the world. Could I go back to the world and start all over again? I could not find an answer to these questions in my head. Both were decisions that required a lot of courage. And I was getting more and more discouraged. This made it difficult for me to decide. What in the world was waiting for me? It scared me that I would start everything from scratch. Would I be able to adapt to life on Earth again? Would I be able to communicate with people? Will I be able to fall in love again? Would I be able to start a life again?
Questions, questions, questions...
I hope to be able to find answers to these questions as I continue to move towards my target new planet in dark deep space.

Little Bright Blue Stars
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
As the two suns illuminating the planet set behind the mountains, bright blue stars began to illuminate the sky. They looked like little blue light bulbs. They were like those little blue light bulbs that light up the scene on a wedding night. I really felt like I was at a country wedding while watching the sparkles of the stars. But I was the only guest at this wedding. There was no one around me to dance with. There was neither a groom nor a bride in this country wedding, illuminated by the stars in the sky. There was only me. Maybe this was the wedding of my eternal solitude. That night, under the stars, the whole universe witnessed this agreement that would last forever with my loneliness. It was a night when I blessed my loneliness. Thanks to this wedding, my loneliness would not bother me for many years and I would be able to continue my journey in space without any problems. It was as I thought. For many years, I never thought of my loneliness. I was very healthy mentally. Until the end of these long years. For the past year, all I've been thinking about was no longer the lost civilization of Plutonia. There was one more profound thing occupying my mind. My loneliness. I couldn't help but think about this situation. Maybe I should have made myself a new wedding of solitude. I should have remarried my loneliness. It is very difficult to make a decision in this huge vacuum of space. I want to get to the ending without hurting myself any further. I don't know yet what this ending will be. All I want is an end.

Out of My Life
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
Another sunset. For me, it's just another lost day. Each new day I spent on other planets meant a new day that disappeared from my life. I wasn't even aware of this when I first started space travel. My interest in space and my discovery of new planets made me blind to my life for a long time. I couldn't see my lost life. I had forgotten myself before the enchanting sights of my space adventure. It was as if I had never existed, as if I had never lived. Memories of my past life on earth were almost erased from my mind. It was as if they had never existed. All my memories had vanished. I was immersed in the magic of infinite space. And in the face of this situation, years later, I would start to realize myself and start to question my life in the face of my loneliness. I would ask myself why. Why am I here? Why am I alone? Why don't I return to Earth? Why don't I start all over again? Why am I doing this to myself? Why am I still traveling in the depths of space even though I have found so many habitable planets? Why don't I come back home?

Sunset in Plutonia
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
I was starting to relax and enjoy the moment in front of a magnificent sunset view on the planet Plutonia. I remember feeling very lucky when I took this photo. Actually, I was lucky. I was the first person to be chosen for interplanetary travel on planet Earth. And this made me feel lucky and privileged. I saw the depths of space that no human had ever seen before. I have set foot on planets suitable for life, where no human has ever set foot before. I witnessed unique landscapes of space that no human had ever seen. I became the first human and even the first earth creature to be able to get this far from the earth. I say Earth creature, because a cat sent into space before me was the first creature to travel to the furthest point from Earth and return. I went hundreds of times further than that cat went in space. And that made me unique. The cat that was sent into space was able to return to earth. The space cat must still be living on earth. Definitely a lucky cat. To be selected for a space mission among thousands of cats and to be able to successfully complete this mission and return to planet earth. I didn't know whether it was a luckier situation to be selected for a space mission or to be able to return to Earth. I guess it's not a very lucky situation unless you can go back to the world.
I still have an infinite distance to go. I'm tired and weary. My excitement is more than less than my initial excitement. My thoughts are quite different from when I first embarked on this space journey. At first, my thoughts were busy with the exploration of new planets that I was going to do, while my current thoughts are purely about myself. I keep asking myself. I keep arguing with myself about the thought of returning to Earth. I still don't know what to decide.
