I make astronomy (and other science) visualizations in Blender.

An update of this classic diagram, using a top-down view with the updated Hα from McCallum et. al. 2025, and a new side-view from a different angle than previous ones to show the Sun's location. From this angle the disk is warping "down" towards the camera!

Quick timelapse of the start of the Lunar Eclipse last night!

Used a basic zoom lens on a tripod and stabilized in post, some day I'll get a fancier setup...

From a forum I found this as a potential sollution?:

Under: Settings - Privacy & Security - Location

Disable notify when apps request location.

My current best guess at what the Milky Way looks like, based in large part on Gaia Data.
See @esascience for more details! and @HdAstro for more Milky Way and other visualizations coming soon...
