NEW JWST IMAGE SHOWING GRAVITATIONAL LENSING!! 🌌 gravity bends and magnifies light from galaxies behind massive objects, sometimes making the same galaxy appear over 4 times! jwst found this happening TWICE in one cluster, for the first time!
A massive galaxy cluster, made of many golden elliptical galaxies with the largest, brightest one in the center. Heavily distorted orange galaxies appear all around the cluster, the largest concentrated in a large arc around the cluster's center; these are images of very distant galaxies, created by gravitational lensing. A few galaxies are large and bluish-white in color; bright, nearby stars are the same color.

Integrated Interplanetary Vehicle (IIV), my own design for a Cold War era joint Soviet-US spacecraft. NASA would be in charge of the NERVA rockets, transfer capsule, and S-IVB workshop, the Soviets would be in charge of the other crew accommodations and scientific systems. (Made with Blender)
A spaceship with four rocket stages and space station-esque modules sticking out the front.

We report: we have noticed that, early in autumn days, we often find waves in the sky. A few days after spring tides, we think it is only right that they should be there. Our expert says this has to do with rapid changes in temperatures. We can see them move with the naked eye.
Digital painting of a bright blue sky: some long white clouds are spread out across the frame. There are small, distinct waves running over the clouds.

Chris Moore was a giant of book cover art. Perhaps a bit less well known than the other Chris (Foss), Moore’s covers dominated the sci-fi section of bookshops while I was growing up in the 70s and 80’s

We report: walking away from the city and into the countryside, the streetlights are spread further and further apart. We see glowing eyes in the bushes, and the trees are dark, loom high over our heads. We overestimated the time we had before nightfall. It smells like rain.
Digital painting of a sunset scene: there is a bright orange strip in the lower third of the sky, and the rest of it is covered in blue-grey clouds. A group of houses stands in the middle of the frame, surrounded by trees, all dim in the dusk light.

We report: the moon rose as it was already getting dark, and it was drizzling. It was only by chance that we saw it glowing through the clouds, and decided to wait until the wind pushed them away. It was a full moon yesterday, but as usual, it seemed equally full tonight.
Digital painting: a yellow full moon is glowing brightly in a dark blue sky, the light bouncing off the edges of some dark clouds.

BEHOLD! I finally settled on the design of the ship. Presenting: USS Celeste (NCC- 74642) ✨✨✨ I wanted the ship to look sleek and organic, like a swimming sea creature, and I think I'm finally satisfied with the design. #StarTrek #OriginalArt #Celeste I almost forgot why I avoid drawing vehicles🫠
A few drawings of the spaceship from the artist's original Star Trek series. The ship is primarily steely blue, with accents of a darker grey and black that make it look like a swimming cuttlefish or a grey alien head.The color of the lights on the nacelles are yellow and blue

Top: Worm's eye view of the ship, but the viewer is getting the rear-right view of the ship, so, basically the underside of the nacelles and the right side of the secondary hull. Windows can be seen on the facade.

Middle left: Another worm's eye view, but this time it's the front of the ship. The bottom of the secondary hull has a black y shape, that surrounds the warp core. The bottom of the primary hull is lined with a thin golden line that makes a bat ears shape. Right under where the ears meet, the registry number of the ship is written (NCC-74642)

Middle right: Blue prints of the ship: Side elevation at the top,Top view at the bottom. The views make she ship look like an abstract cuttlefish with eyes on the side, and fountain pen like sign at its head.

Bottom: Bird's eye view of the ship, from the right. Top of the saucer section can be seen, it has two black eye like shapes at it's sides, a a black semi oval shape at the front of it's head, intersected with a tiny white circle and a thin while line. It makes the black shape look like the head of a fountain pen. There are two symmetrical geometrical grey accents to it, sort of like the back of a sea turtle. Right below the black shape at the front, the ship's registry number is written (NCC-74642), slightly warped to match the curve.

Background: Dark blue space, with lots of stars.

We report: in the afternoon of a hot day, the sky begins to undulate wildly - the clouds coming apart, colliding, the plates overlaying one another as the atmospheric pressure changes. It does not lead to rain right away. The whole sky stews in this instability for hours.
Digital painting of a cloudy sky: there is a single hole in the clouds showing a small dark blue spot. All around it, the clouds are dark, long tendrils connecting them like a torn up, floating veil.

We report: there is a bit of wind, and a lot of sunshine, humidity as well as we get to the later part of the afternoon. We are getting familiar with this feeling again - autumn and spring, when we are not sure whether we are hot or cold, or both at the same time.
Digital painting of a partly cloudy, deep blue sky: the clouds have jagged edges, brightly outlined in white. There are clear sun rays coming from the lower part of the frame, splitting after meeting the clouds.

We report: the light is alive in the clouds at dawn, flowing through the veins created by the few gaps. It keeps transforming in the minutes we get to watch it. It loses the pink, and it gets weaker when it turns blue instead. Our expert, for once, decides to go back to sleep.

We report: we could not see much of the sky until the street lights got turned off. From there, the stars also first appeared out of our sight, and then in the white of our eyes, until they reached the middle of our pupils. We found they shone icily in an anodised sky.
