Explanation: On August 11 a Rocket Lab Electron rocket launched from a rotating planet. With a small satellite on board its mission was dubbed A Sky Full of SARs (Synthetic Aperture Radar satellites), departing for low Earth orbit from Mahia Peninsula on New Zealand's north island. The fiery trace of the Electron's graceful launch arc is toward the east in this southern sea and skyscape, a composite of 50 consecutive frames taken over 2.5 hours. Fixed to a tripod, the camera was pointing directly at the South Celestial Pole, the extension of planet Earth's axis of rotation in to space. But no bright star marks that location in the southern hemisphere's night sky. Still, the South Celestial Pole is easy to spot. It lies at the center of the concentric star trail arcs that fill the skyward field of view.

Looks like a tunnel to G-d with a person’s soul on the trip.
Just saying
5.56mm
Could be an AI representation of how a scratched LP sounds when you’re listening with headphones.
Reminds me of that Brian Eno/John Cale song: “Spinning Away”
Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that’s turning, running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
[Verse 1]
What goes up must come down
Spinnin’ wheel got to go ‘round
Talkin’ ‘bout your troubles it’s a cryin’ sin
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin’ wheel spin
[Verse 2]
You got no money and you got no home
Spinnin’ wheel all alone
Talkin’ ‘bout your troubles and you never learn
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin’ wheel turn
I’m so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it’s you, girl, making it spin
You’re making me dizzy
I love shots like this. It is so cool that the photographer uses some creativity to get such a shot. What a great imagination.
I was afraid this would happen.
Jim Croce finally figured out how to save time in a bottle.
Damnit, those CERN people have gone and done it this time !!!
it reminds me of the old TV show “The Time Tunnel”. I can imagine in my worst nightmares, falling into this and emerging into a society where Hillary is the ruler. Cackling while flying on her broom.
HA! That would’ve been too much for even Irwin Allen, I think!
