A technical glitch causes the Hubble Space Telescope, which ordinarily captures magnificently crisp scientific imagery of the cosmos, to lose balance and create this inadvertent piece of modern art.

It is suspected that in this case, Hubble had locked onto a bad guide star, potentially a double star or binary. This caused an error in the tracking system, resulting in this remarkable picture of brightly colored stellar streaks. The prominent red streaks are from stars in the globular cluster NGC 288. 

So can I buy this somewhere or…

So I’m drawing a script for work at the moment, but it’s not exactly great, so when Jey told me a few bits of a much better story (catapathic converter airship-steampunk Captain/Engineer AU), I spent all day doing color sketches for that instead.

Vague explanations (L-R):

1. Clint sleeps in the engine room. Sometimes Bruce does as well. 2. Once, before Clint started getting his tattoos and before Bruce) they went as extra crew on one of the space-farers and slept in a hammock under the ship. 3. Bruce takes them to the surface, they’ve never been before but he has (that’s where they found him), and they go swimming.

Nowadays, everyone lives in tower cities in the sky, and resources are mined from the air by dirigible.  The dirigibles are powered by unreleased emotion, by tension, via catapathic converter.  Each dirigible has a team of two, a pilot (who’s steady, controlled, in charge of navigation and accounting and so on) and an engineer (who’s generally fairly wild and a little off-balance, but typically clever with his or her hands). Phil and Clint have a ship; Phil is the pilot and Clint the engineer.  Fury runs the dirigible fleet.  He used to be an airshipman, but no one knows if he was a pilot or an engineer. There are the ruins of old cities down on the ground, on the surface, but nobody ever goes down to the ground cities, because they all left for the sky when the war and famine and disease came. Phil is the only pilot in Fury’s fleet who has ever crashed an airship on duty.  Not that they talk about it; it’s somewhat disgraceful to crash (means you don’t have control over both of your emotions, yours and your engineer’s) and Fury doesn’t want to hear about it.  But he crashed, once, in one of the most ruined cities (the grander the city was, the farther it fell, because the rich people got out faster and left more unfinished business behind and trampled more people on their way). So they could have put out a distress call, but that’s shameful, to have to be rescued, so instead they were going to man up, repair their airship with the force of their will and a little bit of whatever they could find.  Get it back up in the air themselves.  Except the ship was pretty much a lost cause, and Phil had started to think they’d have to put out the call. And that’s when they met someone, in the city, someone who had emotional intensity like Phil had never seen and control like he couldn’t believe from anyone who wasn’t a pilot.  And they brought him back.  His name is Bruce; he’s the only reason the ship ever got back in the air, and Fury never asked about him, and nobody ever asks why Phil and Clint’s ship has a staff of three instead of two.

If you guys don’t know Giles’s work, WELL HERE YOU GO. LOOK AT THIS GORGEOUSNESS. GNN. God. I can’t. And the whole story from Jey is awesome too. It’s like epic collab of awesome really.
