Chris Kotsiopoulos recently shot 60 photos of the incredible triple planet conjunction on May 25th of this year. Venus, Jupiter, and and Mercury (as well as the star Elnath (Beta Tauri) on the far right) can be seen dropping across a beautiful sunset over the Alikes salt lake near Kos Island in Greece. It’s a pretty amazing time-lapse. buy viagra professional online https://cpff.ca/wp-content/languages/en/viagra-professional.html no prescription

The Cassini space probe was launched back in 1997 and made it to Saturn in 2004 after an interplanetary voyage which included flybys of Venus and Jupiter. I recently stumbled across this article on the Huffington Post, and I decided it might be a good time to share my favorite images from the Saturn portion of Cassini’s journey.
“A Splendor Seldom Seen
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has delivered a glorious view of Saturn, taken while the spacecraft was in Saturn’s shadow. The cameras were turned toward Saturn and the sun so that the planet and rings are backlit. (The sun is behind the planet, which is shielding the cameras from direct sunlight.) In addition to the visual splendor, this special, very-high-phase viewing geometry lets scientists study ring and atmosphere phenomena not easily seen at a lower phase.
Colorful Colossi and Changing Hues
A giant of a moon appears before a giant of a planet undergoing seasonal changes in this natural color view of Titan and Saturn from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft.
Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, measures 3,200 miles, or 5,150 kilometers, across and is larger than the planet Mercury. Cassini scientists have been watching the moon’s south pole since a vortex appeared in its atmosphere in 2012. See PIA14919 and PIA14920 to learn more about this mass of swirling gas around the pole in the atmosphere of the moon. buy vidalista generic cialisnextdaydeliveryusa.com over the counter
Peeping Mimas
Saturn’s moon Mimas peeps out from behind the larger moon Dione in this view from the Cassini spacecraft.
Mimas (246 miles, or 396 kilometers across) is near the bottom center of the image. Saturn’s rings are also visible in the top right.
Angling Saturn
The Cassini spacecraft takes an angled view toward Saturn, showing the southern reaches of the planet with the rings on a dramatic diagonal.
The moon Enceladus (313 miles, or 504 kilometers across) appears as a small, bright speck in the lower left of the image.
Strong Jet in False Colors
A particularly strong jet stream churns through Saturn’s northern hemisphere in this false-color view from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft.
Saturn’s North Pole, Wide View
This image from NASA’s Cassini mission was taken on Nov. 27, 2012, with Cassini’s wide-angle imaging camera. The camera was pointing toward Saturn from approximately 233,742 miles (376,171 kilometers) away. buy vilitra generic cialisnextdaydeliveryusa.com over the counter
Storm Tail in False Color
This false-color mosaic from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft shows the tail of Saturn’s huge northern storm.
Wispy Dione
This raw image of Saturn’s moon Dione taken by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft shows the fractured region known as “wispy terrain.” The image was obtained on Dec. 20, 2010, from a distance of about 107,000 kilometers (66,000 miles). buy Sildenafil generic buywithoutprescriptionrxonline.com over the counter
Majestic Saturn, in the Infrared
This false-color composite image, constructed from data obtained by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, shows Saturn’s rings and southern hemisphere.”
I am very excited to present the Low-Poly work of Timothy J. Reynolds to all of you today. Tim is a designer and architect who’s currently working full-time in Wisconsin as a 3D illustrator for a large marketing firm. He’s been commissioned by Popular Mechanics, Nissan, and Apple, but he also has a whole host of really cool individual projects. I think I must also mention that he has one helluva mustache.
I’ve always been a fan of Low-Poly illustration, but I especially appreciate the crispness of Tim’s designs. He draws inspiration from a range of topics including machines, landscapes, architecture, and even space. buy zithromax generic rxbuywithoutprescriptiononline.net over the counter
Abstract Machines
These should be made into real sculptures…
Landscapes
2 things: Low-Poly water looks amazing, and I would love to hack it around on that golf course.
Vehicles
Space-Inspired
I apologize for the load time, but that’s one of the coolest GIFs I’ve ever seen.
As you can tell, Tim has a bright future in design and illustration. buy zyban online rxbuywithoutprescriptiononline.net no prescription
If you would like to purchase some prints, head over to his Society6 page. And, if you’d like to see more designs, go here.
If you’ve been inspired to try your hand at low-poly, Tim recommends Cinema 4D. I assume there’s a bit of a learning curve, but I think I’m going to give it a try. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
