Update 2014 June 20: Reading about Gomez's Hamburger I now realize it's not a planetary nebula. It's actually a protoplanetary disk. Hooray! I wonder if more objects will change categories? For now, there are 99 Planetary Nebulas and a Protoplanetary Disk.
Update 2014 Mar 26: To my absolute horror, Flickr has updated their interface and now in order to access the notes and find out about the individual nebulas, you have to scroll through this very long list until the correct one is highlighted. How dreadful.
Update 2014 Feb 08: This work won the "favorite non-MIT entry" at MIT's Art of Astrophysics competition. Click the link and check out the other winners and entries!
Update 2014 Feb 02: I added notes to identify all 100 planetaries which you can click to see a close-ups. Good thing Flickr allows me to add exactly 100 notes and no more! Also, while doing this I sort of took inventory of them and was surprised to realize that I completely omitted The Southerner from the collage. Oops! I'm sorry, NGC 3918.
Inspired by insect illustration posters, this is a large collage of planetary nebulas I put together bit by bit as I processed them. All are presented north up and at apparent size relative to one another--I did not rotate or resize them in order to satisfy compositional aesthetics (if you spot any errors, let me know). Colors are aesthetic choices, especially since most planetary nebulas are imaged with narrowband filters.
How many of them can you identify?
Happy Holidays. :)
Close up of a leaf, unknown reason of the red dots, i connected it to a "sick leaf". And beautiful light green spots on the vein-full dark green leaf. And the pink aura, and the other blurry leaf that looks like another planet. My imaginary world.
Από την σύνοδο Δία – Κρόνου στις 16-12-2020. Η απόσταση των δύο πλανητών είναι 35’ της μοίρας .Την Δευτέρα 21 Δεκεμβρίου που θα κορυφωθεί το φαινόμενο η απόσταση θα είναι 0,06 μοίρες.

Jupiter – Saturn conjunction on 16-12-2020. The distance between the two planets was 0.35 degrees. On 21 December, and as Jupiter overtakes Saturn, they will be 0,06 degrees apart.
“The area was encompassed in a bubble of warm, fragrant steam from the funnel cake deep fryers. It smelled like sweet vanilla cake batter you licked off a spoon.”

Una conjunción de la Luna, con Venus y Júpiter, el 17 de Julio 2015
Virpi Niemela - Edificio Estación Sismológica La Plata.
Opening reception this Saturday for the 9th Annual Fine Art of Photography Competition/Exhibit in Plymouth, Center for the Arts. My print 'Planetary explorers' was accepted into the show. (Fun fact: This is a straight photograph, taken in September last year during the fogxflo installation in the Back Bay Fens.)
The Land Fly is the perfect mate for any planet, any explorer, and any expedition. Multiple devices for sampling and collecting are avaliable to the user. The equipment is totally self-reliant with multiple back-up systems for charging it's powered core using the forces of nature.
The rover group has got me thinking about this type of thing with the month long campain to build rovers. This thing probably doesn't count as a classic space rover, but it was a fun little build inspired by the rover-revolution.
The arrangement of these buttonbush flowers/buds reminded me of an orrery model of the solar system. It even came complete with a tiny flower fly spaceship.
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It is a gas giant, with an average radius of about nine times that of Earth.[27][28] It has an eighth the average density of Earth, but is over 95 times more massive.[29][30][31] Even though Saturn is almost as big as Jupiter, Saturn has less than a third the mass of Jupiter. Saturn orbits the Sun at a distance of 9.59 AU (1,434 million km), with an orbital period of 29.45 years.
Saturn's interior is thought to be composed of a rocky core, surrounded by a deep layer of metallic hydrogen, an intermediate layer of liquid hydrogen and liquid helium, and an outer layer of gas. Saturn has a pale yellow hue, due to ammonia crystals in its upper atmosphere. An electrical current in the metallic hydrogen layer is thought to give rise to Saturn's planetary magnetic field, which is weaker than Earth's, but has a magnetic moment 580 times that of Earth because of Saturn's greater size. Saturn's magnetic field strength is about a twentieth that of Jupiter.[32] The outer atmosphere is generally bland and lacking in contrast, although long-lived features can appear. Wind speeds on Saturn can reach 1,800 kilometres per hour (1,100 miles per hour).

The Planetary Defence Buggy is an agile vehicle able to provide aerial defence capabilities.
Note: This build is directly based on LEGO set 6831
If you want some gorgeous skies, go to Canada. xD
I was watching the news and some astronomer came on and said that Venus would be directly visible near the moon tonight. I, being a space geek, ran outside for proof. I'm pretty sure that that light across from the Moon is Venus. It was unusually bright.
My camera still isn't working. I'm going through photography withdrawal here. >.<
One of those "I wish I'd known then what I know now" moments:)
Helicopter flight over New York with an E4300.
From left to right: Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Saturn. Technically only an alignment, I guess, but it sounds better as a conjunction.
The Planetary Recreational Buggy provides the simple function of allowing the CS explorers with a fast and fun vehicle to race around the planet.
Abell61 Planetary nebula
A beautiful nebula in the constellation of the Swan, characterised by an almost perfectly round shape, was created by the small blue central star of magnitude 17. It is 4500 light years away from us and extends only 4 light years.
A very faint nebula, which can hardly be seen in the individual shots, with 4 hours of data it can be highlighted more, although I had to give up before I reached the amount of photos I had hoped for, due to the death of my PC.
I still wanted to process it to have a memory of those nights spent in the observatory headbutting the telescope gone mad.

This is also called a blinking nebula, because if you look at it through a telelscope and move your eye around it appears to blink. I wasn't able to see it through the eye piece at all, but the camera picked it up just fine.
Project 365 // Day 274
Had a tough time deciding what to shoot for today's 365 project... so I looked around and brainstormed what I could do. I finally came up with something, but I had no idea how it would look, or if it would even work. I really like this end result, because it reminded me of a far away planet, but as some commenters have commented, it reminded them of Dragonballs (from the DBZ anime). I think revealing what it is would definitely ruin the mystery, so I won't, you're all welcome to guess though :)

The Planetary Cargo Transport is a short range scooter that is able to transport cargo and supplies around the CS base.
Very few depictions of the Voyager spacecraft show it in its entirety due to the length of the Magnetometer Boom, which is 43 feet (13 meters) long, and the two Planetary Radio Astronomy and Plasma Wave Subsystem Antennas, which are each 33 feet (10 meters) long. These instruments are usually shown cut short to save space. In this model, the white Magnetometer Boom is only a few studs off while the Planetary Radio Astronomy and Plasma Wave Subsystem Antennas are shown at about two-thirds of their actual length.

Before the Empire can construct a base on a new world, an appropriate planet must be found, and then a cursory exploration performed to ensure there are no serious threats. The Imperial Planetary Scout is tough, self-sufficient and specially trained for such a task.

I subscribe to Damian Peach's Patreon Astrophotography channel and he kindly provides raw data on the planets.
This is his data from imaging on the 30th of Septmber 2020 as Mars nears opposition.
Takahashi Mewlon 300 scope with ZWO ASI120MM-S camera
The data was provided as unsharpened RG and B files. I have sharpened them individually in RegiStax6 then used WInJupos to derotate and produce master RG and B files which were then combined into a colour image.
I used Photoshop to clean some derotation artefacts ( R channel as partial mask), enhance contrast and colour grade.
