A tiny orb weaver central to her web which was glistening and vibrating in the breeze. The resulting still image reminded me of a supernova explosion.

To be honest, I didn't really want to make this week's video. It is on a topic I'm uncomfortable discussing casually, or at all, really. But, it was a request and I wanted to honor that.

This week I'm talking about pain. For me, specifically manifesting in Fibromayglia. This essentially means widespread pain throughout my body, akin to several other ailments like arthritis, chronic fatigue, and more. My physical pain comes from joint problems, weakness, nerve damage, and extreme sensitivity to touch.
I don't talk about this. Not with friends or anyone else, for the most part. I don't like to dwell on it, and if truth be told, I think I probably have some shame issues around it. The problem, however, is self-evident. If we don't talk about our pain - be it physical or emotional - other people with pain will feel alone in theirs. It is not something that we need to suffer alone.
So while I didn't want to make the video and I don't want to watch the video back, I am talking about it. This video was requested several times, undoubtedly by others who live in pain. In one way or another, we all live in pain. I invite you to share yours, if you are willing. And if now isn't the time for you, I understand.
On February 24, 1987, observers in the southern hemisphere saw a new object in a nearby galaxy called the Large Magellanic Cloud. This was one of the brightest supernova explosions in centuries and soon became known as Supernova 1987A (SN 87A). The Chandra data (blue) show the location of the supernova's shock wave — similar to the sonic boom from a supersonic plane — interacting with the surrounding material about four light years from the original explosion point. Optical data from Hubble (orange and red) also shows evidence for this interaction in the ring.

I suppose at first sight this might look quite surreal but actually these are some flagpoles at the Olympic Complex of Athens, Greece, seen from the ground against a very dramatic sky right after the sunset.
I have tried to photograph them a few times in the past, always with medium or no success at all. On this particular day I had noticed some great light and clarity, plus some wonderful clouds even from the morning, so when I got back at home in the afternoon I started thinking about any photo possibilities. Most of the afternoon passed without doing anything as half of me wanted to jump out and photograph whatever was in front of me and the other half was completely lazy after some hard day at the job.
As the sun was about to set my active half seemed to prevail against my lazy one, so I grabbed my bag and as I didn’t have much time left I decided to head to the Olympic Complex which is the only decent place I could think of, very close to my home. Reaching there, the clouds in the sky had started taking some unbelievable colors from the setting sun and I just stood still, looking around like an idiot, as everything looked really fantastic! I really didn’t know where to start shooting so I decided to head for these flagpoles as they are quite close to the entrance and I had arranged to meet my friend Helen Sotiriadis there to give her something.
First I tried some long exposure shots but they didn’t work out well, as the sky came out quite fussy, not really good, so rather at the last moments of the light show (which btw started to seem like something had exploded in the sky!) I got a few shots of it as it really looked at the time. Mind you that whatever process I did on the photo was just on the poles, I left the sky really untouched, as it seemed that it was so good that whatever I tried to do on it just made it worse!
After a while Helen came, we admired the scenery and soon the whole nature show was over. We talked for a while and then split it, but I was glad (and pretty sure) that I had taken at least one good photo.
You can see a bit of how the place looks like, in the photos here! and here! (photographed on a previous visit)

There was a very, very bright reflection of the sun in the glass so I thought I would make use of this refection by adding a 'Supernova' effect :-)
I was surprised to find a 'Supernova' musical link on YouTube :-)

This supernova is the 10th observed in NGC 6946 over the past 100 years, making it the most prolific supernova generating galaxy in recent history. Fittingly, this starburst galaxy has the unofficial name the fireworks galaxy.
At a distance of 22 Mly - SN 2017 eaw actually occurred 22 million years again... in a galaxy far, far away...
SN 2017eaw was Discovered by Patrick Wiggins on 20170514.

Ok, well it was a very wet BHM and i had a little play with effects ! Happy Telegraph Tuesday one and all x
M 1, the Crab Nebula, is a supernova remnant in the constellation Taurus, approximately 6,500 light years from Earth. It is the first object identified to be the result of a star explosion. While M 1 was first recorded in 1731 by British astronomer John Bevis, it was formally catalogued by Charles Messier as the first object in his catalog of bright non-cometary objects in 1758.
Astronomers have determined that the supernova remnant is expanding. Working backwards they calculated the origin date, matching explosion oservations from Chinese and Native American records. At the center of the nebula is a pulsar, a very small but high energy neutron star with a spin rate of 30 times per second.
This image was shot in Samphran, Thailand with our Officina Stellare RiLA 600 f/5 telescope using an FLI ML 16200 CCD camera. 6 minute subexposures were shot through Hydrogen Alpha, Oxygen 3 and Sulfur 2 filters, which were mapped to Green, Blue and Red respectively to create a false color image in the Hubble palette. 191 total exposures were taken, totalling more than 22 hours. Addtionally, a series of 300 30-second images in Red, Green and Blue were taken to capture true star colors.
Imaged and processed by the SC Observatory team: Mike Selby, Stefan Schmidt, Andy Chatman.
In February 1987, light from an exploding star arrived at Earth after traveling across 160,000 light-years of space. It was the closest supernova humanity had seen in centuries. Thirty-two years later, the light of the supernova itself has faded, but astronomers continue to study its remains for clues about how stars live and die. Scientists will use NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to observe Supernova 1987A (SN 1987A), as it is known, in order to gain new insights into the physics of the explosion and its aftermath.
Astronomers combined observations from three different observatories (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, red; Hubble, green; Chandra X-ray Observatory, blue) to produce this colorful, multiwavelength image of the intricate remains of Supernova 1987A.

Recently there was a supernova in M82, the Cigar galaxy. Last 2 nights I could image this supernova together with the 'sister' galaxy of M82, which is M81, aka Bode's galaxy. In total I got 17.3 hours of imagery for this one. I even detect some IFN in the image from my very light polluted (Bortle scale 7) location.

Whew... Easily the biggest MOC that I've ever made, and the longest I've ever spent building a MOC. I posted the WIP an entire year ago and that was after like a month of building itself. Despite all that, it's still less than half the size of a SHIP at about 46-47 studs long, but I did spend probably close to $200 on Bricklink orders and sets for parts for this, so I think it should be noted as at least a BIP or something.
I learned a lot making this. Number 1: Nothing ever lines up unless you planned it out to. Number 2: It's going to be a half plate off. I don't care what it is or where it is, but somehow it's a half plate away from where it should be. There's a few areas that I'm not happy with, like the front of the wings, where the sides meet at the nose, and the bottom, but at this point I just want to be DONE. Maybe I'll fix those areas later.
