I was invited for an interview by Marcel Gagne for his “Open Source Journeys” podcast for the Linux Professional Institute. Quite an honor!
Lunatics is a free culture animated series about lunar colonization created by Rosalyn Hunter and Terry Hancock.
You can follow their adventures in digital production ... for instance, right now Terry's learning the awesome 3D animation software Blender

Back in the day my friend Susan and I started our own Star Trek & Science Fiction fan club... so you know I would have loved this when I was a kid... as it is, I'm a fan *now* :)

A Sagittarius Starscape
Terry Hancock
This rich starscape spans nearly 7 degrees on the sky, toward the Sagittarius spiral arm and the center of our Milky Way galaxy. A telescopic mosaic, it features well-known bright nebulae and star clusters cataloged by 18th century cosmic tourist Charles Messier. Still popular stops for skygazers M16, the Eagle (far right), and M17, the Swan (near center) nebulae are the brightest star-forming emission regions. With wingspans of 100 light-years or so, they shine with the telltale reddish glow of hydrogen atoms from over 5,000 light-years away. Colorful open star cluster M25 near the upper left edge of the scene is closer, a mere 2,000 light-years distant and about 20 light-years across. M24, also known as the Sagittarius Star Cloud, crowds in just left of center along the bottom of the frame, fainter and more distant Milky Way stars seen through a narrow window in obscuring fields of interstellar dust.
Comet Lemmon Photobombs Stargazers Stunning Space Snapshot Terry Hancock took this image of Comet Lemmon soaring across a nebula-filled night sky on July 14 and 15 from DownUnder Observatory in Fremont Mich. The image includes M52 Cluster (top center), The Bubble Nebula NGC7635 (left of center), the emission and reflection nebula NGC7538 (lower central area) and Sharpless 157, also known as The Lobster Claw Nebula (bottom left), and Comet Lemmon (upper right). "I was oblivious to the fact that Comet Lemmon was visiting this neighborhood," Terry Hancock wrote SPACE.com in an email. "When I processed this at first I thought I had captured aircraft lights."
