taken from my backyard in April/May 2021 telescope session , from two hundreds sub frames I choose 90 the best x 120 seconds exposure time each for stacking and processing in PixInsight .Thanks for looking :) I used my home build Newtonian telescope with QHY268C camera and Optolong UV/IR Cut filter . thanks for looking .
The crystal sphere - Valued for seeing the future but I'm happy seeing the present. The glass ball is like a converging lens giving a lovely distortion with all lines pointing to the center. Like being in the middle of a snow globe or rather sun globe. The image is flipped so the scene in the ball is right side up, feels better this way.

On Friday, June 12, a spectacular planetary alignment took place just after sunset:
• Venus (top)
• Jupiter (below Venus — and if you zoom in on the photo, you can spot two of its moons: Ganymede and Callisto)
• Mercury (bottom)
• Earth 😉
Photographed in the Negev Desert.

The lunar-venus conjunction of December 28, 2019 was imaged with a Canon 80D and a canon 100 mm f/2 lens. On this evening, the pairing was about two degrees apart. Passing high clouds added some soft diffusion and glow to the overall scene.
Tried coaxial rotors but it looked just too big. Anyway it has two giant rear thrusters and side thrusters for stabilisation, so I guess it's fine with just the top rotor (and no secondary at the tail).
As I was picking flowers, I noticed a tunnel hidden in the tall shadows. Translucent rays of grain nourishing my iris.
I had to plunge my hand into it to feel what stayed behind.
The shadows swallowed it to reappear floating in the emptiness surrounding a distant planet.

The rim of a large crater, with some smaller craters within. I originally planned to have this rim be at one end of my base, with the entire base inside the crater. But now I'm thinking of building parts of it outside, e.g. I have a few Windtraps that would make sense to have on the rim, to pick up the maximum amount of wind. Also, I have a force field barrier, that would make more sense to have on the outside than on the inside of the crater...

I wish I had set the shutter speed at 1/80 sec or faster.
Taken somewhere in mid America. B&W taken in West Hartford. Related subjects it so seems but well in contrast. FUJICA 35AM 1962 35mm raw film. #film #filmisnotdead #35mm #35mmfilm #fujica #analog #filmisalive #usa

Isolating Thoughts
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
Sometimes you want to go. To far away. For a human, the depths of space is the farthest point one can go. Going this far from home can cause many mood disorders. I am currently suffering from some emotional distress caused by this situation. But on the other hand, the excitement of discovering a new planet made me forget all these emotional problems for a while. Perhaps, when I discover a new life form or even a civilization, I will be completely free of all my troubles. At least I hope so. There is only one thing I need to convince myself of. And that is my belief that one day I will encounter a civilization on a planet suitable for life. Otherwise, the idea of returning home will continue to haunt me. I both wanted and didn't want to go home. The dilemma that I would start everything over and over again and whether I would be successful or not scared me a lot. After my long time in space, would I be able to re-adjust to life on planet Earth? Would I be able to communicate with people? Or would I be longing for the solitude I'm used to in space? The questions that I couldn't find the answer to were growing in my mind. I needed to find some answers for myself. When will I find an answer to these questions my mind is asking me? I needed to clear my mind of my memories. Or I needed to go back to planet Earth where I lived my memories. This will be a very difficult decision for me.

Our planetary neighbours are getting into the holiday spirit with this pair of festive silhouettes spotted by ESA’s Mars Express. The defined wings of an angelic figure, complete with halo, can be seen sweeping up and off the top of the frame in this image from Mars Express’ High Resolution Stereo Camera, while a large heart sits just right of centre. The dark colour of these two shapes is due to the composition of the constituent dune fields, which largely contain sands rich in dark, rock-forming minerals that are also found on Earth.
This image comprises data gathered by ESA’s Mars Express using its High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on 8 November 2020 (orbit 21305). The ground resolution is approximately 15 m/pixel and the images are centred at about 148°E/78°S. This image was created using data from the nadir and colour channels of the HRSC. The nadir channel is aligned perpendicular to the surface of Mars, as if looking straight down at the surface. North is to the left.

The planetary eruption is really one of those old lightning balls found in a clean up of a kid's wardrobe. It still works!!
Explore: Aug 15, 2009 #85 Thank you friends :)
what is it ? it is the top part of very small glass jam jar, filled with oil, water and red wine (mixed and left to settle) Looks a bit like a gas giant planet.

This is a tight crop of an image of the Weinberger planetary nebula. I captured the outstanding OIII data for the planetary nebula last night. It was interesting to see the levels of oxygen emission from the PN with the new data added. OIII x 14 x18 , Ha 17x 1800 and SII 17x 1800. This would make an excellent target for longer focal length optics. May be next time round.
The alignment of Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and the Moon was photographed on the evening of December 12, 2021. A Canon 80D and a Canon 8-15 mm f/4L fisheye lens was used to capture the wide angle scene.

In meteorology, a cloud is an aerosol consisting of a visible mass of minute liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or other particles suspended in the atmosphere of a planetary body or similar space. Water or various other chemicals may compose the droplets and crystals. On Earth, clouds are formed as a result of saturation of the air when it is cooled to its dew point, or when it gains sufficient moisture (usually in the form of water vapor) from an adjacent source to raise the dew point to the ambient temperature. They are seen in the Earth's homosphere, which includes the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere. Nephology is the science of clouds, which is undertaken in the cloud physics branch of meteorology. There are two methods of naming clouds in their respective layers of the homosphere, Latin and common. Genus types in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer closest to Earth's surface, have Latin names due to the universal adoption of Luke Howard's nomenclature that was formally proposed in 1802. It became the basis of a modern international system that divides clouds into five physical forms which can be further divided or classified into altitude levels to derive ten basic genera. The main representative cloud types for each of these forms are stratus, cirrus, stratocumulus, cumulus, and cumulonimbus. Low-level clouds do not have any altitude-related prefixes. However mid-level stratiform and stratocumuliform types are given the prefix alto- while high-level variants of these same two forms carry the prefix cirro-. Genus types with sufficient vertical extent to occupy more than one level do not carry any altitude related prefixes. They are classified formally as low- or mid-level depending on the altitude at which each initially forms, and are also more informally characterized as multi-level or vertical. Most of the ten genera derived by this method of classification can be subdivided into species and further subdivided into varieties. Very low stratiform clouds that extend down to the Earth's surface are given the common names fog and mist, but have no Latin names.
Two things contribute to the moon being visible in daylight. First, it is bright enough that its light penetrates the scattered blue light of the sky. If you're looking at exactly the right spot with a telescope, you can also see the planets Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter in daylight, plus a few of the brightest stars (though few casual observers can actually pull this off). Secondly, the moon must be high enough in the sky to be visible. Because of the Earth's rotation, the moon is above the horizon roughly 12 hours out of every 24. Since those 12 hours almost never coincide with the roughly 12 hours of daylight in every 24 hours, the possible window for observing the moon in daylight averages about 6 hours a day. The moon is visible in daylight nearly every day, the exceptions being close to new moon, when the moon is too close to the sun to be visible, and close to full moon when it is only visible at night. The best times in the month to see the moon in daylight are close to first and last quarter, when the moon is 90 degrees away from the sun in the sky. R_5217
