Dark Matter Gears

Damn that was hard and long. While the idea of dark matter is hypothetical and speculative I came with the idea of painting it as gears supporting galaxies. The original picture in my head was way much darker. I feel like I mess with the background ...

The gears also refer to the voltaire's idea of an autonomous universe, tuned like a clock and left alone by god.

from #IanWood #jupiter moves from a long sequence of high #frequency blue/white #stars (orions belt and pegasus)
now moving through #alignment with 3 consecutive pure orange stars over the next 8days..ANKAA, SHEDAR, DIPHDA
jupiter brings a helping hand, which monotheists would call the grace of god/allah/yahweh, and new agers call positive thinking/divine assistance
enter image description here
jupiter channeling orange stars is more assertive at ground level and can be well intentioned 'preachy' under that influence
a call to action for good deeds, as we move towards cross quarter time, imbolc(5th feb)
...from 1st-11th march jupiter will be parallel red star MENKAR, when beliefs gain a more pushy fundamentalist tone, and a more survivalist flavour(base chakra)

We Own The Sun

"We Own The Sun"

This one was way too long to draw. I'm getting too ambitious when it comes to digital painting now ... Yet I feel like it worse the hardwork, I'm quite happy with the final result. Made with TheGimp, obviously ;)

The space-time grid has been made with #Blender for drawing reference.

“ #Watching the #Stars Come Out in #Patagonia” by Ross Schram con Haupt (Via Reddit.

The image is a two-shot focus stack, each of which is a 20-second exposure that Haupt took with his Nikon D610 camera and Nikon 16-35mm f/4 lens at 24mm, f/8, and ISO 400.

The image is a beautiful example of #how the most basic of composition guides can be used to create the most sophisticated looking images. Haupt has composed the image using the simple foreground-mid-ground-background principle and has successfully created a marvelous piece of art. With the 20 second exposure, the blurred water in the foreground makes for a strong foreground. The colorful flowers in the middle then make for a beautiful midground. And finally, the tall standing mountain peaks and the calm sky with the stars just starting to come out create a marvelous background.

What this image communicates is that you don’t always have to make your images overly complicated for them to stand out.

This video covers our #sun's local star neighbors and their #planets.

Quote Compared to gigantic galaxies and star clusters, the #SolarSystem is no more than just a speck of dust. There are thousands of stars within the radius of 100 light years from it. With some of them barely distinguishable against the dark abyss of space, others are so bright that they can be seen even if they are in other galaxies. Besides, there are a lot of invisible objects lurking in the depths of space, too – from massive brown dwarves to rocky exoplanets comparable to our Earth in size. Some of them may harbour life while others may pose a threat.

However, all this diversity is eclipsed by the #scale of our #galaxy.

There are 200 billion stars and over a trillion planets at the very least to be found across its expanses. It is quite impossible to completely explore this great abundance of unique space objects.

Today we will talk about some of the closest ones.

A #terrestrial demonstration of why it's just about impossible to see the #Moon's surface and #stars simultaneously. Tonight the Moon and #Jupiter (a wandering star or #planet) are in #conjunction -- well just about. And here are two images taken with two different #exposure time.

The first is with a #ShutterSpeed of 1/6 s. The lit part of the Moon is a white featureless blob but, because it's a #misty #night, there's a wonderful #ice #halo which shows #colours from the #VisibleSpectrum. You can see Jupiter directly above.
Moon, mist and Jupiter

Next, with a shutter speed of 1/100 s, the #surface of the Moon shows much more contrast but you can barely see Jupiter. Also, the #fog is also invisible.
