The Hyperflare was a modified planetary lander used for sport, and then later retrofitted for battle with an added single laser cannon.

The ship was incapable of intergalactic travel, and could only stay in space for short periods of time. It was mostly used to land personnel on a planet surface from the orbiting starship or space station, and as an in-atmosphere striker/escort

Back in 2020 in our lovely flat close to the city center. Feeling trapped in between corona lockdowns.

Occasionally you will have to visit a more crowded outpost, and your Planetary Surveyor is simply a bit too large to squeeze into dense populated areas.

 

Luckily, that's why it also comes with an auxiliary rover, complete with small, deployable terrain scanners!

Object description (wikipedia.org):

 

The Cat's Eye Nebula or NGC 6543, is a relatively bright planetary nebula in the northern constellation of Draco, discovered by William Herschel on February 15, 1786. It was the first planetary nebula whose spectrum was investigated by the English amateur astronomer William Huggins, demonstrating that planetary nebulae were gaseous and not stellar in nature. Structurally, the object has had high-resolution images by the Hubble Space Telescope revealing knots, jets, bubbles and complex arcs, being illuminated by the central hot planetary nebula nucleus (PNN). It is a well-studied object that has been observed from radio to X-ray wavelengths.

This planetary nebula has a very unusual shape.

The central star is moving, and this causes the ejected material to pile up in one direction. This part is brighter.

had a go at putting an orb in a spin, got a good orb a good spin but may need to lower the angle of the camera as it was about 20 feet up looking down on it, and you lose the top of the orb.

This painting is based on the mural i did in India in January 2017.

It was about the motion of celestial bodies in the Universe.

This painting is about Earth motion.

After one year of painting black lines on a walls i bring this experience to the studio.

"Lovely weather to do some planetary exploring!"

 

Probably my favorite design for Febrovery this year. I love the silly ones very much but hard sci-fi also holds a place in my heart. And this reminds me of the minimal and functional design of lunar rovers. I also wanted to build something that fits with the new cool astronaut torsos from the Creator line. Apparently I own the only set with more than one of those wheel pieces in dark red (8416), so this is also a flex I guess.

 

Febrovery has been a blast this year. I've seen amazing mocs by amazing people, silly and cool. It inspires me to look differently at Lego parts and to build carefree and have some fun in scary times. So thanks for all the awesome rovers everyone :)

Earlier this week, I traveled to Washington, D.C. to document for The Planetary Society as they and others from NASA went to Capitol Hill to talk to members of Congress about the importance of planetary exploration and the need for funding.

 

In honor of it being opening day for Star Trek Into Darkness, here's a photo of Bill Nye doing the Vulcan salute in front of the Capitol.

A small faint planetary nebula can be found near the centre of M22. Planetary nebulae located within globular clusters are very rare.

Two infrared views of NGC 1514. At left is an observation from NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). At right is a more refined image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.

 

[Image description: Two views of the same planetary nebula cataloged NGC 1514, split down the middle. Both show roughly the same features, an outline of a cylinder tipped to the right with a large blob of material in the middle. At the center of the blob is a bright star. At left is the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) view. The outlines of the cylinder are orange and thicker, and within it is a bright green irregular cloud with a larger blue central star. This view has hazier lines, and colors that appear to bleed into one another. At right is the view from the James Webb Space Telescope. The outline of the cylinder is clearer with crisp, wispy details. Where the cylinder appears to connect at top left and bottom right, the outline forms shallow V-shapes. It’s a lot easier to see where material begins, ends, and overlaps. In both images, the background of space is black. The WISE image shows bright blue orbs. The Webb image shows tiny pinpoints of light.]

The Police Striker is one of the most common ships in the Confederacy Galactic Police Force. It mostly patrols the outskirts of major Cities and Industrial areas. Always ready to strike at suspicious activity. Antigrav engines keeps it in the air while the quad thrusters gives it it's deadly speed. The wings are mainly for stabilization but can also be used for tight twists and turns. The Striker can fly in zero g but performs best in an atmosphere.

I uploaded these 3 for one to go through to post at HBW tomorrow. A sort of Bokeh idol if you like. The one with the most votes gets posted

 

Ok this is the winner. Thanks everyone. HBW

If you look closely, stars are just beginning to appear.

A shot of Venus(brightest), Jupiter(next brightest) and Mars as seen on the morning of Oct 18. Mercury was closer to the horizon, but there were clouds so I did a tighter shot of these three.

Due to the small size of this object, the image has been heavily cropped.

NGC 2392 taken last year 2024 in March with Edge HD 14 "inch and full frame QHY 410C camera . Crop it to 2000x1500 pixels to see more details .

With the public release of some of the initial JWST images it is possible to download and process the raw data yourself.

 

Images were made at six infrared wavelengths and so the choice of mapping these images into an RGB colour space is left up to the end user.

  

In this I've tried to bring out the detail in the regions of this planetary nebula, formed as a star throws off its outer layers.

This planetary nebula is 2300 lightyears away in Lyra and is a shell of gas being blasted outwards by the central star which is now a white dwarf and 200 time more luminous than our Sun.

On December 18, 2020, Jupiter and Saturn shone low above the western horizon, over the “Great Meteoron” monastery (abbey), in Meteora, Greece. The two gas giants were in conjunction. This is a composite photograph of both planets setting during more than half an hour (from 17:57 till 18:31’ hrs local time). The waxing crescent moon accompanies the planets.

 

The two planets’ apparent positions will continue to seemingly “approach” in the sky until December 21, 2020. Then the “Great Conjunction” will occur (at the winter solstice). On that date, the apparent angular distance between Jupiter and Saturn will be 6’ only or one thenth of one degree! Such a closest, spectacular conjunction was not seen since the 17th century (1623 AD).

 

The Great Conjunction may be considered as the “Star or Bethleem” or the “Christmas Star,” according to Johannes Kepler in 1614.

 

The “Great Meteoron” monastery (abbey) was founded in c.1340–1348 AD. It is dedicated to the Transfiguration (aka Metamorphosis) of the Saviour. It is located on the 2,011 ft (613 m) high rock called Platys Lithos.

 

The impressive and lofty rock formations are collectively known as Meteora: The sandstone megaliths’ height varies 1,000-2,067 ft (300-630 m). The rock masses were formed 60 million years ago, are geologically unique and listed in UNESCO world heritage sites.

The Helix nebula is an example of what our sun may look like once it has run out of fuel (hydrogen). As a star runs out of hydrogen it starts to expand and eject its layers. Says wiki, "The Helix Nebula is an example of a planetary nebula, formed by an intermediate to low-mass star, which sheds its outer layers near the end of its evolution.

 

The remnant central stellar core, known as the central star (CS) of the planetary nebula, is destined to become a white dwarf star. The observed glow of the central star is so energetic that it causes the previously expelled gases to brightly fluoresce. Yet this star's size is only about 2.5 % that of our sun and possibly of its original.

 

This particular nebula is one of the closest ones to us at around 650 light years. The object has been given numerous nick names such as "The eye of God" or "The eye of Sauron"

 

I took this very close to a full moon but got better results than I thought. It's basically in Hubble palette with some blend modifications (Red - 50% Sii and Ha; Green - 15 Ha and 85 Oiii; Blue - all Oiii) to make it look RGBish. Stars are so so as there was very little exposure (3 min per filter). Acquisition is about 3 hours of combined SHO taken from Chile with a 10 inch Astrograph and a ZWO ASI 6200 (bin2). Thanks for looking.

NGC 1501 (also known as the Camel's Eye Nebula or the Oyster Nebula) is a planetary nebula that can be found in the constellation Camelopardalis (the Giraffe) and is roughly 5,000 light-years away. You can clearly see the internal complexity of this nebula. It has also been referred to as the Oyster Nebula, from the bright central star peeking out of the cloudy shell around it. The surrounding cloud was formed when the central star blasted off its outer shells.
