Art From The Space

The outer space not only leave us mysteries about millions possibility of other living things, but also give us super huge artworks those aged  are millions of years. These artworks of course cannot be seen with naked eyes, but our human technology such us Hubble Space Telescope and Spitzer Space telescope have given us the chance to enjoy these remarkable arts.

The Sombrero Galaxy 

The Sombrero galaxy is located some 28 million light-years away. Viewed from Earth, it is just six degrees south of its equatorial plane. Spitzer detected infrared emission not only from the ring, but from the center of the galaxy too, where there is a huge black hole, believed to be a billion times more massive than our Sun.

It is called the Sombrero galaxy because of in visible light, it resembles the broad-brimmed Mexican hat. However, in Spitzer's striking infrared view, the galaxy looks more like a "bull's eye."

Carina Nebula

The nebula contains at least a dozen brilliant stars that are 50 to 100 times the mass of our Sun. Like cracking open a watermelon and finding its seeds, the infrared telescope "busted open" this murky cloud to reveal star embryos tucked inside finger-like pillars of thick dust. The top of a three-light-year tall pillar of cool hydrogen is being worn away by the radiation of nearby stars, while stars within the pillar unleash jets of gas that stream from the peaks.

Messier 74

Bright knots of glowing gas light up the arms of spiral galaxy M74, indicating a rich environment of star formation. Messier 74, also called NGC 628, is slightly smaller than our Milky Way.

 The Crab Nebula

The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant, all that remains of a tremendous stellar explosion. Observers in China and Japan recorded the supernova nearly 1,000 years ago, in 1054 !!!

Helix Nebula

This eye pupils like nebula is called The Helix Nebula. This detailed picture of the Helix Nebula shows a fine web of filaments, like the spokes of a bicycle, embedded in the colorful red and blue gas ring around this dying star. The Helix Nebula is one of the nearest planetary nebulae to Earth, only 650 light years away

The Cat's Eye Nebula

Intricate structures of concentric gas shells, jets of high-speed gas and shock-induced knots of gas make up this complicated planetary nebula. The Cat's Eye Nebula is about 1,000 years old, and could have resulted from a double-star system.

White Dwarf Planetary Nebula NGC 2440

A Sun-like star ends its life by casting off its outer layers of gas, which form a cocoon around the star's remaining core. Ultraviolet light makes the material glow. The burned-out star, called a white dwarf, is the white dot in the center.

Stars Adorn Orion's Sword

This image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows what lies near the sword of the constellation Orion -- an active stellar nursery containing thousands of young stars and developing protostars. Many will turn out like our sun. Some are even more massive. These massive stars light up the Orion nebula, which is seen here as the bright region near the center of the image.

To the north of the Orion nebula is a dark filamentary cloud of cold dust and gas, over 5 light-years in length, containing ruby red protostars that jewel the hilt of Orion's sword. These are the newest generation of stars in this stellar nursery, and include the protostar HOPS 68, where Spitzer spotted tiny green crystals in a surrounding cloud of gas.

The Antennae galaxies

The Antennae galaxies is located about 62 million light-years from Earth, are shown in this composite image from the Chandra X-ray Observatory (blue), the Hubble Space Telescope (gold and brown), and the Spitzer Space Telescope (red). The Antennae galaxies take their name from the long antenna-like arms seen in wide-angle views of the system. These features were produced in the collision.

Art of Modern Earth - How Crop Circle Created - Step Two : Designing the Drawing

After deciding the message that you want to deliver, the next step is to design or construct the drawing that bundling the message. 

Before i continue, i want to talk about something called nodal constraint.

hmmm. Its a curious word, really.

Nodal constraint is refer to the interdependency of the position of one node to the overall design. Changing coordinate of this nodal constraint  will affect the overall design..

By this, I mean that if your crop design is using for example 10 non concentric circles, you must first has to mark precisely the position at the field where are the center of those 10 circles before you begin your work. One mistake in placing the center pivot of each circle will result in a highly ridiculous crop circle ever.

Ok, lets continue again.

As we all know that crop circle formation is basically composed of circle or arc either as the main object (something you must draw) or auxilliary object (you must draw it in order to create another object or a segment line). As an auxilliary  object, the circle can be used to draw equilateral triangle, square, pentagon, star, hexagon and all kind of polygon.

To draw a cirle there are two thing that has to be fulfilled: the position of the center circle and the diameter of the circle (2 constraints with one nodal constraint, i.e : center pos), meanwhile to draw an arc beside center pos and dia, you must define the position of where its start and end (4 constraints with 3 nodal constraints, i.e: pos of center, start point and end point). 

Art of Ancient Earth - How Nazca Line Created

Alien Picture on Nazca

This time, we will explore some arts from ancient earth inhabitant. I say inhabitant because there still no convincing argumentation about who is the artist, is human or alien. It is also still no convincing evidence about when these drawings had been made, by who, how and for what. Some articles says that it is about 2 millenium ago or more. 

The art creation of the Nazca can be categorized as drawing art. By using the earth surface as drawing media, the artist then drew this media by  removing the ubiquitous reddish pebbles and uncovering the whitish ground beneath. But whoever the artist is, i mention 3 annotation about the artist work.

The Art From The Mars Part 2

In Mars, not only the huge of the creation is important, but the detail and the material is also important too. Take a look at these Picture

Mars Alien Picture

One type of internet application that I really like is google earth. With this application, I can see situations of all over the world, from desert to pole, from deep blue ocean to highest mountain and even I can see the situation of the outer space such as in the Moon and Mars.

I am so surprised when i googling to Mars, there are many of unusual images that i cannot believed i can see it in there.Here are some photos of Mars that stole my curiosity.
