The Deus Machina is the totality of knowledge and technology.

The Omnissiah is the embodiment of reason.

The Motive Force is that which causes motion. Energy in all its forms.

What is the Mechanicum?
-We worship the Deus Machina, the totality of knowledge and technology, through invention and learning, thus known as The Quest for Knowledge. We also serve through acts of production and repair.
-We await the coming of the Age of Technology and strive to quicken its arrival.

In this gorgeous image, Lyman Insley captured the bright heart of the Rosette Nebula where lies NGC 2244 (Caldwell 50 or Satellite Cluster), an open cluster located some 5,200 ly away in Monoceros.

NGC 2244 consists of hot, blue stars denoting a young age

The image shows the heart of the Rosette Nebula, a vast cloud of gas and dust in space. It is a vibrant astronomical image, with a cluster of bright stars (NGC 2244) at the center, shining with white or pale yellow light, like a sparkling chandelier. The nebula is illuminated in vivid colors: red (sulfur), green (hydrogen) and blue (oxygen). The red areas appear as soft warm glows, the green/turquoise ones form a diffuse and predominant haze, while the blue adds ethereal touches, similar to thin veils of fog. Filaments of gas and dust, like wisps of smoke or translucent curtains, weave across the scene, with some darker areas where dust obscures the light. The center, similar to a deep cavity, is dotted with distant stars, giving a sense of cosmic vastness. The image conveys a sense of energy, with a wind of particles that seems to radiate from the central stars, creating a dynamic, three-dimensional effect.

One day, the Singularity shall come, and technology will wrest itself from Mankind's control. Uninhibited by Mankind's limitations, it will give rise to unimaginable advancement. We must stand ready to make a place for ourselves in the Golden Age of Technology.

HAPPY NATIONAL SPACE DAY!!!!
A spiral galaxy seen at a skewed angle. Its center is a bright spot radiating light. A thick, stormy disk of material surrounds this bright center, with swirling strands of dark dust and bright spots of star formation strewn through the disk. A large spiral arm extends from the disk toward the viewer. Some foreground stars are visible atop the galaxy. Dark brown pillars rise from the bottom to the top of the image, ending in three points. The background is opaque, set off in yellow and green toward the bottom and blue and purple at the top. A handful of stars of various sizes appear. An area of deep space with thousands of galaxies in various shapes and sizes on a black background. A few gold-colored galaxies are bunched closely together in the center. A large, translucent purple cloud lies over the galaxies, thickest across the center where the gold galaxies sit, and fainter up to the right. This shows where X-rays are emitted by hot gas in the group of galaxies. A star cluster is shown inside a large nebula of many-coloured gas and dust. The material forms dark ridges and peaks of gas and dust surrounding the cluster, lit on the inner side, while layers of diffuse, translucent clouds blanket over them. Around and within the gas, a huge number of distant galaxies can be seen, some quite large, as well as a few stars nearer to us which are very large and bright.
