Willow on the trampoline with a new Hubble Space Telescope shot as background. My two daughters lounge on the grass contemplating the magic of space. From APOD: Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble — maybe Macbeth should have consulted the Witch Head Nebula. This suggestively shaped reflection nebula is associated with the bright star Rigel in the constellation Orion. More formally known as IC 2118, [...] For this weeks Creative Photo, I peered into cosmic genesis and found the likeness of my little cherub gently encouraging infant stars into the Small Magellanic Cloud crèche. If your curious about this small satellite galaxy NGC 602 (pictured) near the Small Magellanic Cloud it’s 200 thousand light-years distant. Surrounded by natal gas and dust, NGC [...] Here I am all Doodled up and ready to go. I suspect I’ll have about a 7 month cruise before getting to Mars. Spend about 9 months on the planet bouncing around, exploring lava caves and sifting for precious metals before jumping back in my ride and taking another 8 or 9 months to retun [...] This is day two of Doodle Week and the theme for today is Doodle Space. Here’s my Doodle Space Doodle. You can check out all the Doodles at the Flickr Doodle Week Group. For today’s Space Doodle, I thought I’d give you directions to the little red planet. If you happen to be rocketing around the [...] Here’s a hi-res (3888×2592 pixels) Zenwalk Linux wallpaper. I would like to respectfully acknowledge Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation who are the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land I currently reside. Using traditional Australian Aboriginal symbols, the image depicts the future dreaming of man leaving the cradle of humanity. The concentric circles the ‘campsites’ or [...] Here’s another Zenwalk Linux wallpaper. This one is based on my Nebula In My Backyard II image. The image featurres a photo off my balcony early one morning superimposed upon a Hubble Space Telepscope shot of the Orion Nebula. Download a hi-resolution version (1800×1200) here. On the weekend I wandered around Melbourne with my family. While crossing the street I snapped this photo of the church opposite Federation Square. The background is a Hubble Space Telescope shot of the NGC 3603 star forming region. (from Wikipedia) NGC 3603 is a giant H II region[1] in the Carina spiral arm of the Milky [...] Call me an adult with an overactive imagination, a dreamer or a delusional geek but sometimes I just can’t help but wonder … What would my backyard look like if Earth was a little closer to the Orion Nebula? Ah, now that’s worth pulling out the deck chairs and a pondering over a tequila sunrise. Hubble’s [...] |
