2018 July 13 Star Trails and the Bracewell Radio Sundial * Image Credit & Copyright: Miles Lucas at NRAO Explanation: Sundials use the location of a shadow to measure the Earth's rotation and indicate the time of day. So it's fitting that this sundial, at the Very Large Array Radio Telescope Observatory in New Mexico, commemorates the history of radio astronomy and radio astronomy pioneer Ronald Bracewell. The radio sundial was constructed using pieces of a solar mapping radio telescope array that Bracewell orginaly built near the Stanford University campus. Bracewell's array was used to contribute data to plan the first Moon landing, its pillars signed by visiting scientists and radio astronomers, including two Nobel prize winners. As for most sundials the shadow cast by the central gnomon follows markers that show the solar time of day, along with solstices and equinoxes. But markers on the radio sundial are also laid out according to local sidereal time. They show the position of the invisible radio shadows of three bright radio sources in Earth's sky, supernova remnant Cassiopeia A, active galaxy Cygnus A, and active galaxy Centaurus A. Sidereal time is just star time, the Earth's rotation as measured with the stars and distant galaxies. That rotation is reflected in this composited hour-long exposure. Above the Bracewell Radio Sundial, the stars trace concentric trails around the north celestial pole. Authors & editors: Robert Nemiroff (MTU) & Jerry Bonnell (UMCP)

Little Planet Lookout
* Image Credit & Copyright: Gyorgy Soponyai

Explanation:
Don't panic. This little planet projection looks confusing, but it's actually just a digitally warped and stitched, nadir centered mosaic of images that covers nearly 360x180 degrees. The images were taken on the night of October 31 from a 30 meter tall hill-top lookout tower near Tatabanya, Hungary, planet Earth. The laticed lookout tower construction was converted from a local mine elevator. Since planet Earth is rotating, the 126 frames of 75 second long exposures also show warped, concentric star trails with the north celestial pole at the left. Of course at this location the south celestial pole is just right of center but below the the little planet's horizon. the little planet's horizon.

Mount Everest Star Trails
* Image Credit & Copyright: Jeff Dai (TWAN)

Explanation:
The highest peak on planet Earth is framed in this mountain and night skyscape. On September 30, the digital stack of 240 sequential exposures made with a camera fixed to a tripod at an Everest Base Camp captured the sheer north face of the Himalayan mountain and foreground illuminated by bright moonlight. Taken over 1.5 hours, the sequence also recorded colorful star trails. Reflecting the planet's daily rotation on its axis, their motion is along gentle concentric arcs centered on the south celestial pole, a point well below the rugged horizon. The color of the trails actually indicates the temperatures of the stars. Blueish hues are from hotter stars, and yellow to reddish hues are from stars cooler than the Sun.

#Solarpunk #writing and #art idea:

A #watershed #map instead of a political or elevation one.

Imagining a world divided into bio-regions not by some arbitrary political body, but by the rivers and water circulation.

We could make it into a beautiful symbol of a sustainable future.

More about it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_divide

The one below is a work of https://www.grasshoppergeography.com/

"A Half Built Garden" book by Ruthanna Emrys implements such a vision!

#geography #drainageBasin #riverBasin

A globe of the Earth, but instead of a political or altitude map it's a colored map of watersheds with brightly-colored rivers making for the natural regions of the planet

Anybody looking for a junior 3D character artist for remote work or an internship?

#gamedev people?

Asking for a friend ;)

I'm sharing some of his work. He's making beautiful stylized character models. He also rigs and animates them.

If you're interested, shoot me a direct message, I'll give you contact information 😀

All done with #Blender!

Public service announcement for artists: starting on 30 April 2025, Pinterest will start to use any image it finds on its platforms to train their AI slop machine.

You artwork might have been added to their platform without you knowing about it, because everyone can pin images from around the web.

If you want to remove your art from Pinterest, follow this guide (no account necessary):

It’s a bit of weird request, but do you know any artists whose art reminds you of mine?

I have trouble finding people who do similar things. If they are on Mastodon it’s even better! :wizard: I want to follow them!

Urban neighborhood with blue roofs and a European architecture, covered by antennas and solar panels. In the background, wind turbines, construction cranes, and mountains are visible. A young woman is holding wires in a wild and vast garden. She's looking towards what looks like a temple, covered with wires, an antenna and a giant sphere. On a rock, a cat is peacefully sleeping.

Someone said:

“Art Nouveau is when it looks made by elves.

Art Deco is when it looks made by dwarves.”

And after looking into it, I think they’re 100% correct.

Lito, a self-taught Japanese artist who began creating intricate, hand-carved art on fallen leaves as a way to manage his ADHD. He carefully selects each leaf & carves whimsical patterns that often depict animals, objects & landscapes - transforming delicate leaves into complex scenes.
Art that captures the fleeting beauty of nature.

I worked hard on some 3D artwork. Before it will be ready to publish, I need to make a compilation of work-in-progress screenshots and wireframes, to prove that it's not AI-generated, and to avoid people asking what AI prompt I used to generate the image. 😖😖
