Alien landscapes and Xenoplanets, the open thread!
post your art ( or favorite artists in that topic ) bellow, because frankly I can't stand games with xenoplanets with pine/maple/palm trees anymore. ;)

Looking for super fast neural volume reconstruction and rendering?
At #CVPR2022 I'll be presenting Volumetric Bundle Adjustment (VBA). VBA enables fast and clean reconstruction for live 3D capture while a video is being recorded.

Earth & a Neutron Star to scale. Most comparisons usually use cities for this but I thought a "zoomed out" perspective would be fun.
Even so the Earth had to be cropped because I was afraid that in a full render, twitter's downscaling would cause that lonely pixel to disappear.

In June 2019, AI has begun simulating our universe for first time. When researchers turned D³M on, it not only simulated a universe in 30 ms, it also did something unexpected: it performed dark matter calculations in which it had not even been trained buff.ly/2FFmjXo

Amazing 3-D printed rocket engine!
@elonmusk @Erdayastronaut
"It is the first fully algorithmically designed rocket engine, the most complex 3d-printed part and the largest 3d-printed Aerospike. It was printed from copper on an AMCM GmbH machine"

The drone videos we use in our paper (by pilot Léon Frey) include amazing observations of 'lava floods' - lava upwelling, overtopping, and mantling the Fagradalsfjall edifice without necessarily fountaining. These are just spectacular to watch!

Here we suggest that the high volume of truly amazing amateur and semi-professional videography of recent eruptions may be an interesting and important new resource for volcano science, as well as being artful and wonderful in its own right.

This is NOT a comet but the #planet #Mercury which can currently be found very close to the #Pleiades at dusk. The solar wind blows sodium atoms from Mercury's surface into #space. This creates a #tail around 2.5 million kilometers long! Curious to see my gear for this shot? :)

Excuse me, just passing through! Bluish IC 1159 is brushing past its larger neighbor NGC 169. In the process, gravitational forces are pulling off streamers of stars, gas, and dust.
