ASTRO PHOTO
A peek into the sky.
Just used my DLSR and some tweaks (no cheating, meaning no Photohop filters)
Color in this photo is used to highlight interesting features of the celestial object being seen. It is added to the separate black-and-white exposures that are combined to make the final image.
Filters allow variety of wavelengths of light to be visible to our eye. Since the cameras can detect light outside the visible light spectrum, the use of filters allows scientists to study "invisible" features of objects — those only visible in ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths.
by the way, the only way to see stars from New York City is by using a DSLR/telescope
your birthday is in 21 days and mine in 25. melancholy might kick in soon. great. oh and apparently september babies are born the most romantic lol (i’m going to look back one day and just feel silly and smile)

Currently: Cozy in my bed reading sherlock holmes fanfiction! Love how these fans mix mystery and romance (yep I did get distracted - but only to post this)

An awe-inspiring journey captured by Cassini in the 13 years it’s been observing the Saturnian system. It is humbling and breathtaking to see the spacecraft taking images of the glowing and sun-eclipsing Saturn.
Preemptively, in few hours, Cassini will burn up and disintegrate like a meteor as it enters the Satrun’s atmosphere at 70,000 miles per hour.
It is truly a privilege to be part of NASA’s JPL to explore the grandeur of the universe.
Street of dreams is an epic story of the power of love and the power of dreams. This is a story of unbridled emotion. A story of Italy; of Hollywood; and of the world. Its classic cinematic style evokes both the grandeur of the golden years of Hollywood, and the passion and emotion of Europe’s greatest cinema icons.
^ Page-Scanning robot reads faster than you.
Do you consider yourself a fast reader? If so, how long does it take you to read a book? 2 days? Good for you but that’s nothing compared to the BFS-Auto book-scanning robot. It can handle 250 pages in a minute. That’s fast even for a machine. It’s just epic when you imagine how they could make widespread book digitization a reality and deal with entire libraries in a matter of days. I wish this technology is available to consumers before my graduation (2015) so that the robot could read the text to me.
Wonder what this technology could lead to? Check out this video.
Just say.. something...
In a nutshell or two: I love aerospace. I'm an engineer, writer, a photographer, and a reader. And, of course, a blogger. I spent my high school years in New York City, managing to defy every urban bum new yorker stereotype (except for the "bum" part). My school life basically revolved around Aviation and Science Bowl. If you continue to read this, I can assure you three (3) things: (1) impeccable grammar (yea, ok) and spelling (thanks to auto spell check), (2) a total lack of entertainment (literally, everyone’s view of entertainment is different), (3) an alliteration of photos, and (4) so many listings. (and of course parentheses)
