In this case of formation in Nebula M-483C, you can see a gas giant on the upper left being orbited by a Mars type
of planet. The limb of this smaller planet that resembles our own
Mars, is just starting to traverse in front of the gas giant.
Meanwhile, in the background there are two proto-planets that are being engulfed by the hot gases of the nebula itself. As
a result, there are thin ion streams exchanging between the small hot planet being engulfed and the magnetosphere of the cool gas
giant in the background.
From this perspective, the two background planets look close, but they are actually several thousand kilometers away. This portion
of the nebula showing the orange and yellow colors is a hot mix of hydrogen and methane gases, giving it a strong
glow. At the bottom of the image there is an interstellar dust cloud that has just become visible as it starts to absorb
heat from the nebula.
The far-away rather reddish dim star in the upper right, below the trio of small white stars, is a red-giant star,
about 300,000 light years away, and is about 300 times larger than our own sun.
Actually...these are oil bubbles....

Yes!  I thought it was cool, the way the bubbles look when using a macro lens. The neat thing about it, is there is a virtually limitless opportunity to come out with a whole kaleidoscope of images.
It's a lot of fun, and very easy, you should try it out.

Thanks poilu! At least it's certainly "different"!
The Sigma Foveon sensor seems (to me) to render colors vibrantly, in fact almost like shooting Velvia film.

I would do, but sadly at the moment recovering hard drives after Windows Vista tried to eat them!
Maybe tomorrow - if the Sun shines!

Thank you all...I am glad you can appreciate the "unusual" experimental type of shots
as well as the more classic types.
As far as astronomy goes...I am ALWAYS reading astronomy and astrophysics related books.
These just reminded me of some kind of planetary thing going on...but yeah....it is all bs!
Just kind of fun to dream!
