Published images and APOD's by the UMSF family, - UMSF members make a difference in bringing Space to the public! Options

[Guest_Oersted_*]

Hi all,

I thought we should have a thread with all the major-publication publicized images and APOD's made by UMSF members. We really bring Space to the public and we should be proud of it!

I would like for each entry to contain:

1) a <100kb photo of the image itself + its name.
2) a link to the real-size image.
3) the UMSF user name(s) of the creators.
4) a link to the UMSF thread(s) where the image is presented/discussed.

I want to list the images chronologically, so if you can help me out with thread contributions in the above-described format, I'll insert those contributions to this first posting.

Thanks a lot, and here goes:

Remember, this thread is a work in progress, help me out here!

There must also be Cassini images I don't know about... So, add your info to this thread!

[nprev]

Hey, that's really cool! Congratulations!!!

[ngunn]

Very well deserved. Every time you post I'm newly thrilled by that image, made possible by an almost impossible building which in itself embodies an astronomical theme given a new astronomical twist by clever photography. I hope the musician understands all the layers. Is the music any good? Heck, I may buy it for the cover anyhow.

[PDP8E]

That indeed was an awesome image Soeren -- Congratulations!

Congratulations on the work and the CD cover

ESA published Emily's collage of asteroids and comet nuclei on its web page "Call for media: reacting to the threat of asteroid impacts."

Congrats to Emily.

I see Ted Stryk's name through the credits as well.

[Guest_Oersted_*]

Thanks for all your comments guys, warms the heart!

I hope the musician understands all the layers. Is the music any good? Heck, I may buy it for the cover anyhow.

You can actually listen to snippets of the music here on the record label page of the CD:

As to whether Mr. Minasi understands all the layers of the image. Well, he is from Rome, I believe, and would then know the Pantheon very well.

Wether you fancy Carl Sagan or not here's something where several UMSFers are involved:

Being behind the curtains on this I am really proud to see how people put their hearts into it...
Stu, Nick, Lyford...thank you for everything!

[ustrax]

AHH! What a glorious day for UMSFers!!! Looks like we've take the bridge of the USS Kepler Starship!
Lyford at the keyboards, NPrev and Stu shooting word artillery and I well...I'm feeling like tattoo at fantasy island!

[DFinfrock]

Wow! Nick and Stu... such marvelous writing. And Ustrax (or should I say, Tatoo) thanks for telling me about "zee plane, zee plane"!

I never would have seen it if you hadn't pointed it out to me.

[nprev]

Thanks, man! (insert blush emoticon here.) All kudos to Rui & the Kepler project for providing the opportunity; it's a humbling thing, was very honored.

But I'm the pollywog among some big frogs indeed in this pond. Lyford's score is not only professional in its quality, but it hits all the right notes in your heart...haunting, beautiful.

Stu's story is...God, please, just read it, everybody. I still see the images he wove, and won't ever forget them.

[ElkGroveDan]

Stu........ !

[nprev]

Exactly.

[Stu]

Thanks, guys. I am quite pleased with how that story turned out.

And Nick, don't you dare put yourself down like that. Your essay is extremely personal and deep, deep from the heart, which makes it a fine piece of writing.

As for Lyford's music, well, it's now on my phone and I'm looking forward to listening to it next time I go up to the castle to stargaze.

[Explorer1]

A great story, Stu! I guessed the twist kinda quickly, but even so!
Just a minor correction though: 51 Pegasi b (the first found orbiting a normal star) was discovered in 1995, a year before his death, so I'm sure Carl knew about extrasolar planets.
But that's a tiny nitpick!

[Stu]

Yeah, bit of a clue the story being part of celebrations of Carl Sagan's life, hard to get around that!

Good point on the 51 Peg date, that totally slipped by me. Put it down to "artistic licence"
