100% low poly, made and rendered in Eevee (Blender) (with viewport render).
Firing a phaser is fairly easy to make: set up a bezier curve, apply a physical constraint to a cylinder to follow the curve, and insert the necessary keyframes in the timeline.
For the "world" shader I used a star map from NASA (credits: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio. Constellation figures based on those developed for the IAU by Alan MacRobert of Sky and Telescope magazine (Roger Sinnott and Rick Fienberg)).)
Can you spot the Big Dipper?
It took me a while to figure out how to set this up. In the world sharder editor: use a texture coordinate - mapping - environment texture. Connect the "camera" of the texture coordinate to the vector of the mapping node and in the scale options of the mapping node, set X and Y to 3 (leave Z at 1).
Connect the "color out" of the environment texture to a "RGB to BW" node, and feed this into a RGB curve node. Then drag this curve down to get rid of all the noise.
Connect the output of the RGB curve node to the color of the background node and connect the latter to the surface of the world output, as usual.
In freezing, the liquid phase of water turns into the solid phase. At the phase transition, beautiful structures akin to our image of the cosmos are created. Taken in our garden, focus stacked.

"Our bonding of sensual attraction is beyond time
Not only our touch, my pink colour and my sweetness which binds us
But also the pain binds us,caused by touch......
When you were caterpillar and I was a bud."
Total Solar Eclipse Phases from start to finish, as seen and photographed from Trinity Overlook Park with Cindy @offdutyeyedoc, Mike @bb49r, and many others on April 8, 2024, from 12:23 PM - 3:06 PM! In spite of the clouds coming in and out during the entire Solar Eclipse phases, I am so thankful that I was able to see and capture all phases of the Solar Eclipse well, in order create this composite of all Solar Eclipse phases.

ALC-42 Siemens Charger 303, in Phase 6 paint, awaits its next duty on the lower level of Washington Union Station on November 24, 2025.
I must admit, Amtrak's new Phase 7 paint scheme is my personal favorite scheme since the Phase 3 scheme that reigned through the 1980s and much of the 1990s. All but 10 of the new ALC-42 Chargers will sport this new scheme. AMTK 174 is, as of the date of this picture, the only P42DC to receive the scheme. No idea if Amtrak plans to (eventually) repaint the entire P42 fleet.

Today's Waning Gibbous Phase of the moon. The Waning Gibbous on January 7 has an illumination of 100%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On January 7 the Moon is 15.25 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases. #moon #astronomy #moonphotography #luna #lunaphotography #astrophotography #laluna #nikonp1000 #blogto #toronto #torontosky #canada #astro_photography_ #seaoftranquility #seaofserenity #moonlight #moonphases #supermoon #moonlovers #moonwatch #mooncraters #tycho #copernicus #apollocrater #aristoteles #aristarchus #astrophotography #moonphoto #Aquarius #waninggibbous
Very unusual creatures, the Phase Dragons somehow feed on their own kinetic energy. The faster they go, the more energy they get. They enjoy chasing all sorts of fast things, like vehicles and other Rahi. When they finally catch up, they pounce, only to phase through their target harmlessly. They then wander off to find something else to chase.

This is kind of cheating because I didn't take it this week, nor is it a self-portrait. Oops. I'll do my best to retake this week, but I'd like to put this here so I have something if I don't have time to.
Amtrak P42 #69 glides past the shell of TRRA Tower 1 as it approaches Gateway Station in St. Louis. The 69 is one of a few P42's dressed in the Phase VII paint scheme and is a welcome sight versus the Chargers assigned to the state supported trains between Chicago and Kansas City.

"There was once a dream that was Rome," and for several years now, it's been my dream to reconstruct the entire ancient city at my signature 1:650 scale. With Phase III complete, SPQR is now four years in the making and represents roughly 24 million sq ft (~223 ha) of the Eternal City.
Through many thousands of hours of exacting research and fastidiously detailed design, the world's first metropolis is brought to life in all its vivid polychromy, with lavishly gleaming monuments and in all the rugged & overlooked homes in between. Phase III adds much of the low-lying floodplain of the Campus Martius to the existing diorama.
Roughly 294,000 bricks are used in this ongoing 1:650 reconstruction which depicts Imperial Rome of the fourth-century CE, when the city was at its most monumental state in history.
It represents the centerpiece of my body of work; a sprawling assortment of global and timeless architectural heritage, all built to the same scale. Beyond that, this diorama is designed to travel the world for exhibition, ensuring its viability as a vital educational resource built to last. It is currently available for exhibition in 2026.
SPQR is the apotheosis of my life's work, though it's a project that has only just begun. Eventually, the reconstruction will grow to encompass the entire ancient city within the Aurelian Walls, and will surely eclipse a million bricks, over its seven hills, in one Eternal City.
This dream is fragile and at times, has seemed all but out of reach. But Rome wasn't built in a day. And although this diorama is the work of just one person, it's going to take the contributions of many to help realize the full vision.

A single frame from the timelapse I used to make the previous time stack image.
It was interesting to see the phases of the passing storm all at once. It was pretty small and moving quickly, and the shape reminded me of a roll cloud (long and skinny, but it didn't have much roll to it) The camera was set up perpendicular to the storms movement, looking down (up?) the length of the storm, so you can see the clear sky ahead of it, the storm front, the turbulent area of the body and the tail followed by stratus clouds.

Moon Phase Today: November 23, 2020
The Moon's current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts round 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon will rise in the east in mid-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible though most of the night sky setting a few hour before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word "gibbosus" meaning humpbacked.
