Today is "Star Wars" day.
Personally, I posted my favorite scene from the fourth part of the cult science-fiction film saga “A New Hope,” in which young Luke Skywalker watches the sunset on the planet Tatooine. (Unofficially, this scene is called "Double Sunset on Tatooine")
Why did I post this particular scene? When the first film of the famous franchise was released in 1977 - and it was the "A New Hope" episode - scientists laughed at this scene. In that distant year, science still knew nothing about exoplanets, i.e. about planets orbiting other stars. Scientists, however, purely theoretically, assumed the presence of planets around single sun-like stars, casting doubt on the presence of them in systems of double (and, moreover, larger multiplicity) stars. Scientists believed that it was impossible for stable planetary orbits to exist in binary star systems, since under the influence of gravitational forces the planet would either fall onto its mother star or be thrown out of its gravitational field. Only a few scientists assumed the possibility of stability of such systems, but in the presence of very strict restrictions on the orbital parameters. Currently, thanks to space telescopes, humanity has discovered thousands of exoplanets, including those that have circumbinary orbits, i.e. revolve around their two suns at once, which means they delight their possible inhabitants with beautiful double sunsets and sunrises (For example, Kepler-16 b). Such planets are unofficially called “tatooines” - after the name of that same fantastic planet, the double sunset on which scientists laughed so much. And now we laugh at their limitations, doubts, short-sightedness and lack of belief in the “impossible”. In our beautiful and limitless Universe, everything is possible!

During this unprecedented event, new images from Mars will be relayed down to Earth every approximately 50 seconds through the Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC) onboard the Mars Express. As a reminder, due to the significant distance between Mars and Earth, there will be a delay of 3 to 22 minutes in receiving these images, representing the closest to a 'live' view from Mars we've ever had. Do remember that these images will be raw, given the VMC's original purpose as an engineering tool rather than a scientific instrument. Despite these challenges, this event marks a significant milestone in space exploration.
🌈 How close is Gliese 667Cc to hosting life beyond our wildest imagination? Could the secrets hidden in this extraordinary system redefine our understanding of the universe? 🌟 To watch the video, simply click on the image.
When we started Syntactic Labyrinths, we never expected stars to become such an integral part of our Research & Development.
Most star assets available at the time were low-dynamic range. Thus they would look gray when "under-exposed" in CGI. As well as often flickering when moving accross the screen.
The solution? Reach out to the lovely folks at NASA and transform their high-resolution star photography into 32-bit High-dynamic range assets.
With this we've solved out production challenge. But it can also solve yours!
Whether you are doing a space scene or a night-time shot, Star System is a stress-tested solution for your production.

Next multi-modality-- you are immersed-- standing in dimensional photo-realistic worlds. You are in the #holodeckplaypen. You and your friends ask to go to Titan and explore that planet -- and also experience the lightning on Jupiter. Dr Donald Gurnett of the Van Allan Physics department discovered lightning on Jupiter when he was tape recording the sounds of space-- quad. He had built 4 recorders-- placing them on 4 sides of the shuttle. The trip is delightful-- like being there-- especially because you hear the tape-recorded music of the spheres. This was going to be placed in Griffith Park Planetarium. The dimensional images were taken by NASA and JPL. She sound by Iowa's Dr. Gurnett. Dr. Spock had provided $6 million for the refurbish. The fact that the installation did not happen is one of the saddest most frustrating stories in the industry. It is not too late. But now with multi-modality AI creating photo-real dimensional worlds-- think how much fun travel will be. And how much more delightful history will be for the young students. Or traveling inside the body to understand why you should not eat so much candy.
Navigating the Uncharted: From the Depths of the Ocean to the Vastness of Space...Mind Bicycle
In the profound silence beneath the sea, lies not the mythical kraken nor the formidable great white, but the very lifeblood of our digital era. Miles upon miles of fiber optic cables weave an intricate web that pulsates with the global heartbeat of data, connecting continents, countries, and communities with an invisible thread of knowledge and innovation.
This marvel of human engineering, hidden beneath the waves, serves as a testament to our relentless pursuit of connectivity and understanding. It reminds us that the most profound discoveries often lie where we least expect them - not in the light, but in the depths.
Yet, as we stand at the precipice of a new era, it is imperative that we lift our gaze from the depths to the heavens. The vast expanse of space, once the realm of dreamers and storytellers, now beckons us with possibilities that stretch the very fabric of our imagination. Like the Starman in David Bowie's iconic song, the universe waits with bated breath for us to take that leap, to transcend the boundaries of our earthly confines and embrace the boundless potential of the cosmos.
Steve Jobs once said, "Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower." In this spirit, let us not be content with the achievements of today but dare to explore the unknowns of tomorrow. Let the fiber optic cables beneath the seas remind us of our ability to connect and transform the world. But let us also look to the stars, to the infinite possibilities that space offers for the future of connectivity, knowledge, and humanity itself.
As we venture into the unknown, let us carry with us the spirit of innovation, the courage to dream, and the wisdom to remember that in our quest for progress, the journey is just as important as the destination. The Starman 'waiting in the sky' symbolizes not just the potential of space exploration but also the intrinsic human desire to explore, to learn, and to connect in ways that transcend our physical limitations.
Together, we can navigate the uncharted, from the depths of the ocean to the vastness of space, in our continuous quest to connect, understand, and innovate.
