Neatly linking in with the MX-6 seen earlier the same day, as I believe these were based on the Mazda's underpinnings.
Same scale with those in the group shot with some design aspects taken from the SW probe droid for the Ma.Ktoberfest 2013.
An American eel (Anguilla rostrata) probes the soft sand within a nearshore marine area of Prince Edward Island. Here in PEI, eels have been found to spend a significant portion of their adult lives in a saltwater environment, rather than the freshwater biomes most people associate adult eels with.
Been keeping myself busy with all sorts of builds for Brickworld Indy. And thought it was about time to post something. So, I felt like doing this, it's not perfect but it was fun. I would have used gold parts, but dwarf builds for castle used them up.
I wanted to build a ship/probe module that had the textures of current technology coupled with the shapes and lines of the sci-fi world not yet invented. All stickers are official (from the Discovery line.) All pictures at Brickshelf once moderated.
Dedicated to nnenn.
Custom model of the famous Viper probe droid better known as the imperial probe droid.
This MOC has 5 arms, which is the correct number, unlike the officiel set which has 6 arms.
It's snowed today, so keep an eye out for those Imperial Probe Droids in the front yard. Never know if they'll find your secret base.
Maybe he could shoot down the idiots driving around today. I wanted to go out, but turned around after finding the second multi-car pileup on the road. It's not that bad out there! Drive slower!
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is loaded aboard a truck after being flown to Space Coast Regional Airport in Titusville, Florida, on the morning of April 3, 2018, by a C-17 from the United States Air Force’s 436th Airlift Wing. The spacecraft was taken to Astrotech Space Operations, also in Titusville, for pre-launch testing and preparations.

A manmade mini comet. Captured with iTelescope T17 and 72
The results of the DART probe impact on the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos. The impact ejecta resulted in a bright object with a primary tail and two other lobes emerging. The tail grew to and by October 8 a very bright tail was visible, but a week later on October 16th the tail has distinctly changed perhaps indicating it is fading and the dust is dispersing with the solar wind. Note the three lobed structure is faded by October 25th with the two minor lobes gone. It appears that the results are the impact are fading after four weeks much as a comet would fade after an outburst. The dust trail is still faintly visible almost 2 months later, on November 20th.
see: noirlab.edu/public/news/noirlab2223/ for an amazing image two days after impact from SOAR telescope of the features captured in low resolution in my image. Note the
three lobed ejecta resulting from the impact of DART.
October 11 2022 : In a press conference NASA (www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-confirms-dart-mission-imp...) showed the long tail is the dust tail pushed by the Solar wind like that of a comet and the other two small lobes are debris blasted from Dimorphos.
The recently launched Proba-V miniaturised satellite captured this image over the border region of northern Syria, southeastern Turkey and northern Iraq on 28 May. The area pictured is about 500 km across, with large reservoir lakes along the Euphrates River visible on the left, and another along the Tigris River on the right. In the central-right portion of the image, we can see Iraq’s Sinjar mountains. Proba-V will map land cover and vegetation growth across the entire planet every two days with its Vegetation imager. In this image, the contrast between the green areas – some with agricultural plots – and the sparsely vegetated areas is evident. It demonstrates Proba-V’s ability to see slight differences in vegetation cover. Vegetation intensity and health can help in crop yield predictions and to map interannual changes in vegetation cover.

Securely packed in its custom transport container, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is unloaded from the C-17 of the United States Air Force’s 436th Airlift Wing after landing at Space Coast Regional Airport in Titusville, Florida, on the morning of April 3, 2018. After unloading, the spacecraft was taken to Astrotech Space Operations, also in Titusville, for pre-launch testing and preparations.

Sitting inside a custom-made protective shipping container, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is loaded into a C-17 from the United States Air Force’s 436th Airlift Wing at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland in the early morning of April 3, 2018. From Joint Base Andrews, the spacecraft was flown to Titusville, Florida, where it was taken to Astrotech Space Operations for pre-launch testing and preparations.

Uhoh, Kensenia's onboard... with a big baseball bat on a ship full of squidgy-brained aliens; this isn't going to end well... for them!**

Although i have yet to make it by there lately
there are currently over 20 WHIM and a single MAGO hanging about VGC on the regular migration stopover
I find it fun to photo doc. a species in a variety of habitat context.
This is my design for the Space: 1999 Meta Probe. It is built to minifig scale. As always, leave a comment if you like. Enjoy!
