Starry Maelstrom (MagisterLudorum's Cosmic Visions Challenge)

Awesome!

Thank you so much for participating in the Cosmic Visions challenge. A great collection of beautiful art. I hope that everyone enjoyed seeing them all as much as I did.

Here’s the link for the challenge so you can look over all the wonderful creations, like and comment on those you feel deserve it.

The next challenge in the Eclectic Domain is American Indian Heritage Month which has already been posted.

See the challenge for details. Please pay special attention to the criteria for voting and ask yourself if you can commit to the challenge rules before entering.

I hope to see you there.

One of the things I haven't conveyed very well to everyone in our collaborations (my fault) is that we are not rendering the traditional low-velocity cold-gas Star-Formation regions that we are familiar with in our Local Neighborhood astronomy. We are rendering high-velocity hot-plasma Star-Formation regions. And we are not rendering Optical spectra, but all spectra from Gamma to X-Ray to Ultraviolet to Optical to Infrared to Microwave to Radio and Parsec and Multiparsec scales. Thus Spiral (Helical) Magnetic 'Astrosphere' Waves which get to be as big as the Stars, and big as the whole portrait, and bigger still. And we use all the paint colors violet through red to portray those sub-optical and super-optical wavelengths.
