GAS - The Image of the Forest
In this short documentary I explore the music of Wolfgang Voigt's GAS project, a kind of ambient techno inherently connected to the visual of the forest. Special thanks to my patrons - without their support this project would not have been possible.

COMET LANDSCAPE
This image shows a portion of 67P/C-G as viewed by Rosetta on 22 September 2014, only one and a half months after the spacecraft had made its rendezvous with the comet. At the time, the spacecraft was 28.2 km from the comet centre (around 26.2 km from the surface). Amateur astronomer Jacint Roger Perez, from Spain, selected and processed this view by combining three images taken in different wavelengths by the OSIRIS narrow-angle camera on Rosetta.

The apparent movement of the matter around the star is an illusion. It was already there. The massive distances involved creates an effect known as light echos where the light from a brightening star reflects off of the closer parts of the cloud first and the further away parts years later this creates the illusion of a faster than light explosion but its really just light playing tricks with a relatively stationary interstellar cloud
