* Event Horizon Telescope
A project to create a super-large telescope with a diameter of 12 thousand kilometers, physically consisting of eight radio telescopes.
is a way to explore and document cosmic scales of imagination, dedicated to becomе a source of inspiration for scientific discoveries in physics and astronomy.
Human culture — and science within it — exists as an intersubjective reality, a construct we rely on to logically explain everything around us. From this perspective, astronomy is not just a scientific endeavor but a grand story written from observations and the countless data we’ve accumulated over time. In order to feel the cosmic reality, humans have created various tools to find evidence of our imagination.
Art often prepares humanity for new worlds, intuitively discovering what logical science has yet to reveal. Through these discoveries, it offers solutions that eventually guide scientists forward. As cultural theorist Yuri Lotman once said, "Art does not depict the world but creates the world, and afterward, this world exists." We've witnessed countless instances where paintings by artists and ideas written by futurologists become part of our reality decades later. The creation of this project, shaped by circumstances, convinces me that it plants seeds of ideas for future generations of pioneers to deeper explore the world.
The inspiration for this project began with the experience of focusing on a single star for an extended time. The longer I observe, the star's light transforms to ideas in my mind and guides the direction of the project. In 2019, when astrophysicists pushed technical boundaries to capture the first image of a black hole, I was impressed by the realization that our brains were witnessing something humans had never seen before. It illuminated the possibility of finding photographic evidence
for our most abstract theories. Nowadays, we accept photography as a medium that captures the real reality.
For two years, scientists analyzed the information received from the Event Horizon Telescope on a supercomputer to generate an image taken with a single giant telescope the size of our planet, as if see from the Earth's point of view to the supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy M87. As a result, in the image we saw exactly what was predicted by either modern theories of astrophysics or scenes from Interstellar movie - a bright ring of gas and dust surrounding the event
horizon. Five years later, in 2024, it was revealed that scientists, out of several data visualization options, chose the one most familiar to their minds. Once again, this demonstrated how the world of humanity transforms only as far as Humans dare to propose a new vision.
For the series of exoplanets and their satellites, I used the classic tools of astronomy — a telescope, and a camera — to document an imaginative experience. However, I approached it with a distinct perspective: while an informed mind typically repeats known actions with these instruments, I aimed to break from convention. By freeing my imagination from the constraints of familiar observation, I allowed it to explore uncharted territory and access an entirely new experiential flow.
In the project’s early stages, I often wished for a collaborator deeply versed in physics, chemistry, and astronomy, someone who could also write with clarity to help me envision exotic planetary environments. Years later, the rise of AI chatbots catalyzed an implosion of the cosmic vision, merging scientific knowledge with extraterrestrial imaginings, and skyrocketing the project into an exciting new phase - 'Exploration of Exoplanets' series.
In this project our vision expands to different focal points. When our attention is directed inward the circle, which is the viewfinder of telescope, we see two dimensional vistas of various environments. If the focus shifts to the black portal, the image transforms into a globe. And when the gaze like a floodlight moves to the space where these exoplanets exist, the journey begins into the four dimensions of the stellar system NØVA III.

A new discovery has emerged from the ongoing analysis of visual data collected during the A2 - 3 mission in 2023 by the Aooks rover. Among the pre-landing images, researchers identified an object of strikingly unnatural shape resembling a crystal, approximately 10 meters in size.
This finding raises questions about the geological or potentially non-geological origins of the structure. It could hold clues to the environmental processes or conditions that shaped A2 - 3’s surface.
Further investigations are underway to determine its composition and possible significance to the mission's broader objectives.

In early 2023, the first announcement of life on A2 - 3 captured the humanity’s attention. Since then, several forms of life have been discovered across the exoplanets of the NOVA III system. Today, a new breakthrough has emerged: among the pre-landing images, a distinct photograph of a "bio-island" on A2 - 3’s surface has been identified.
The bio-island appears to be an ecosystem distinct from its surroundings, hinting at the existence of complex, possibly interdependent life forms. This discovery deepens our understanding of A2 - 3’s environment and its capacity to sustain life.

Hypothesis on extraterrestrial life forms based on the naturalistic fantasy concept of NOVA III and Sacred Geometry
Abstract: This column explores a hypothesis concerning potential extraterrestrial life forms based on the principles of the NOVA III concept and sacred geometry. The hypothesis suggests that extraterrestrial beings may resemble life forms on Earth due to shared principles of sacred geometry and a unified consciousness foundation in the universe. It proposes that variations in planetary environments could positively influence the evolution of life forms to those on Earth. As example, the current vibration background on Earth contributes to the prosperity on all continents of species, such as mice, pigeons, cats, dogs and higher evolution of humans. The hypothesis proposes the existence of analogous life forms on other planets, with evidence suggesting evolved life forms resembling Earth's ants on exoplanet A2 - 2 and flora similar to Earth's on exoplanet A2 - 3. This hypothesis presents an opportunity for conscious communication with what are termed "primitive consciousnesses" on Earth before seeking contact with other forms beyond its borders. Furthermore, by studying common communication frequencies on Earth, researchers may identify corresponding signs on other planets and stellar systems.

During the expeditions, a large number of cities and megalopolises by human standards were discovered beneath the surface of the exoplanet. Based on the findings, a theory emerged that after the fragmentation of the plates, the release of a large amount of heat into the atmosphere of A2 - 2, and the discovery of underground reservoirs, these creatures moved into caves. Given the scale of the settlements, this period lasted a long time until the concentration of harmful gases and/or the depletion of scarce resources brought an end to this civilization's era.

Thanks to the operators' exquisite control of the drone, we now have detailed close-up images of the newly discovered formations.
Additionally, the Uriel Cave turned out to be extensive and significantly longer than the drone's flight range. The team of operators and researchers now faces another difficult choice: to remove the device from the cave for recharging, or to use the remaining charge to delve deeper and make larger discoveries, thereby completing the expedition.
22/11/23 17:37 +4GMT
The decision to continue the expedition has already yielded its first results! Water reservoirs were discovered on the lower tier, providing convincing evidence that these dungeons were once inhabited by life. Who knows — maybe in the future, we will find survivors in small groups.
23/11/23 10:03 +4GMT
At the last charges, new observations are still being received. As we delve further, new horizons open before us. With a decrease in temperature and an increase in resources in lower levels, conditions were more favorable, which contributed to the development of settlements to the scale of megapolises by human standards.
25/11/23 15:53 +4GMT
With the drone's battery discharge yesterday at 16:20, the expedition on the exoplanet ended. Before crashing on the surface, the device transmitted its last images to the communication center, giving us the closest shots to the surface. As we study these images and make new discoveries based on them, we will keep you updated.
Obviously our story on A2 - 2 will continue for a long.

As time is a sense, by nullifying the sense of time within a human, without moving in three-dimensional space, the individual moves in the fourth (time) dimension. Thus, when the NOVA III stellar system, moving along the orbit of the Milky Way, coincides with the position of the Solar system, the sense of time for the astronauts is restored. As of today, we are only capable of one-way journeys since we have not yet discovered reverse movement in time, and the movement in time during the next orbit of the Solar system will return the astronauts 237 million years later.

Nitrous oxide detected in the atmosphere of A3 - 2 which is primarily produced by natural processes such as bacterial denitrification in ocean. In the context of biosignatures, the presence of nitrous oxide in an exoplanet's atmosphere could be an indication of biological activity. However, the detection of nitrous oxide alone is not necessarily a conclusive sign of life, since the gas can also be produced by non-biological processes such as lightning or volcanism.
In order to more confidently identify nitrous oxide as a biosignature, we would need to look for additional evidence of life.

In the mission "Spiral" to study the composition of the atmospheric spheres of A3 - 2, to perform a gravitational maneuver to slow down, we first approached the A0 -1 exoplanet so much. 5 years after the discovery of this cosmic giant, captured its first circumplanetary image. We remind that, based on observations, 11 months and a half ago it was established that there was a high concentration of nitrogen oxide on surface A3 - 2. Eventually, a mission to its surface was immediately launched.

Data from the medium-format cameras installed on the acoustic probe just provided high-quality images from hycean for detailed analysis. In the second surveyed location of volcanic activity, an unknown object of approximately 3 square kilometers was detected (right top corner). Planetary geologists speculate that this formation might be the peaks of submerged oceanic mountains.

Further investigation of the Hycean's latitudes revealed much more extensive areas than previously anticipated. A new image shows that the previously identified peaks are not oceanic mountain tops, but floating structures on the surface. This discovery raises even more questions about their nature. Additionally, a rainbow-hued film surrounding an island presents another phenomenon that requires further study.

A newly captured image reveals an island approximately the size of Australia. However, considering the vast scale of the Hycean ocean, this landmass appears comparatively small.
Scientists hypothesize that the rainbow-like boundary observed between the floating islands and the ocean may be due to impurities or pollutants. When liquid NO₂ interacts with substances such as oily compounds, organic residues, or metallic elements, a thin film can form on its surface, reflecting light in iridescent hues. This remarkable phenomenon now stands as a key subject for further exploration.

Right before announcing the failure of contact with the launched Skyglider during the gravitational maneuver around exoplanet A1 - 1 in the course of the 'Spiral' mission, we have just received an image before its detachment from the Stellarship. This allowed us to calibrate the communication frequencies with Acoustic Skyglider to receive new images from exoplanet A1 - 1.
17/05/24 09:45 +4GMT
Immediately after calibration and reception of the undocking frame, here we are in contact with the Skyglider. During this time, it was gliding at the edge of A1 - 1's atmosphere and passed all tests of autonomous operation.

In the upper atmosphere, methane can undergo photochemical reactions due to the ultraviolet light from the star. This can lead to the formation of complex organic molecules known as tholins. These tholins form a haze that scatters blue and green light. This scattering adds a bluish-green tint to the atmosphere, contributing to the overall turquoise appearance.
20/05/24 06:06 +4GMT
At higher altitudes, where temperatures are lower, methane gas can condense into ice crystals. These methane ice clouds are similar to cirrus clouds on Earth but composed of methane instead of water.

At slightly warmer altitudes, where the temperature is higher but still cold enough for methane to condense, methane exists in liquid form, forming liquid methane clouds. These liquid methane clouds also scatter and reflect sunlight, focusing on blue and green wavelengths, which further intensifies the turquoise coloration of the atmosphere.
22/05/24 10:20 +4GMT
Having collected data from atmospheric layers A1 - 1, the Skyglider is switched to autonomous flight mode until the next need, but for now let's summarize. The presence of different types of clouds at various altitudes can create layers of scattering. High-altitude methane ice clouds scatter light, followed by scattering from liquid methane clouds at lower altitudes. Each layer adds to the overall intensity and depth of the turquoise color.

The most intriguing area for study on A1 - 1 is the upper layer of haze, which predominantly contains tholins. These complex organic molecules can aggregate to form aerosol particles that gradually settle into the lower layers of the atmosphere or onto the surface. Tholins represent an intermediate stage in the transformation of simple molecules, such as methane and ammonia, into more complex organic compounds. The study of these processes is of great significance for astrochemistry and exobiology, as tholins may serve as analogs of early organic compounds that could have been precursors to life.
'Celestialism': An artistic experiment where creativity centers on the study and interpretation of celestial bodies. Beginning with the representation of a way of seeing that views the material world through the perspective of cosmic origins, exploring the deep connection between the universe and earthly existence.
After observations from Earth and direct studies on the planets themselves, the environment of the star convinced researchers of its suitability for creating a bio-satellite around the star NOVA III. The large number of exoplanets rich in resources suitable for maintaining the viability of the human body further supported this idea. Since the artistic approach to observation is thorough and open to unpredictable factors in new planetary environments, capsule residencies became an effective choice for the next phase of exoplanet exploration.
The 'Celestialism' art residency invites participants to explore uncharted territories of their imagination, treating the mind as both the studio and the medium.

For the first time in the history of space art, British artist and photographer Tom Leighton has embarked on an art residency beyond Earth — on the exoplanet A2 - 4. This planet, located in NOVA III star system, is known for its unique conditions reminiscent of Earth: a thin, warm atmosphere and a presumably crystalline surface. However, due to the high acidity of the environment, human presence on the exoplanet is only possible on a levitating capsule-
platform equipped with a life support system, allowing Leighton to work for two Earth weeks.
One of Leighton’s main sources of inspiration will be the exoplanet’s ephemeral purple sunsets, created by the unique chemical composition of the atmosphere. Known for his bold photomontages and urban landscapes, Leighton will now turn his attention to interstellar landscapes, exploring the intersections of cosmic technology and nature in the context
of a new planet. This project promises to continue his tradition of creating worlds on the edge of utopia and dystopia, where cosmic technology both fascinates and threatens.
The results of his work on exoplanet A2 - 4 will be presented at an international exhibition, and critics anticipate that they may open new horizons in space art.

01/10/24 10:24 +4GMT / Tom Leighton Unveils His Photography Series "Hinterland," Created on Exoplanet A2 - 4
After completing his first cosmic art residency on exoplanet A2 - 4, Tom Leighton has presented his long-awaited photography series titled "Hinterland." This project is the result of two weeks spent on a levitating capsule-platform, from where he observed and captured truly alien landscapes. This series reflects the unique nature of A2 - 4 — a planet with a thin, warm atmosphere and a surface rich with rainbow-hued lakes and crystalline shores.
The photographs showcase fantastical landscapes in turquoise, lavender, and peach tones, with the series visually resembling a vivid dream, where natural forms appear so perfect that they seem artificial. Especially captivating are the ephemereal sunsets — due to the planet's atmospheric chemical composition, they are bathed in ultra violet hues, adding additional depth and surreal beauty to Leighton's works.
"Hinterland" continues Leighton’s conceptual explorations at the intersection of cosmic technology and nature, but in a new context — not the environments of Earth, but a distant exoplanet. The boundaries between reality and fantasy blur in these works, where the mysterious surfaces of lakes and unfamiliar mountain ranges, as if shaped by unexplored forces, evoke a sense of magical and simultaneously acidic beauty. The series invites us to reconsider the limits of possibility, leaving viewers both awed and thoughtful — as Leighton, in this alien world, reminds us of the fragility and grandeur of nature, even on a distant exoplanet.

Until January 30th, A0 - 3 will be at the closest point to
A2 - 1. Using this opportunity, we set the image sensors of the spacecraft KVM1L which in orbit of A2 - 1 in direction of
A0 - 3 to collect data on its satellites and in search of evidence for the hypothesis of the fractal system of this exoplanet.
28/01/23 15:05 +4GMT
According to the data obtained on satellites A0 - 3, two significant discoveries were made.
First - Exoplanetary activity in October 2022 was associated with the collision of one of the satellites. There are currently seven satellites in orbit.
Secondly, a proof of the hypothesis of the fractality of the A0 - 3 system appeared. We were able to fix images of two satellites.

The Sharaf satellite is evidence of a previously unseen, fractal space system in which the satellite, being in orbit A0 - 3, the closest exoplanet to the NOVA III star, also has its own satellite with a satellite. These space objects are connected not only by gravity, but by heating each other they support internal thermonuclear reactions. In fact, this is a system of stars one in orbit of the other.

Today we are ready to present you all seven exomoons of A0 - 3! Some of them you have already seen, some are published for the first time. Approximately 3 months before we detected huge activity on the exoplanet A0 - 3, and now we have discovered that this is the crash! of the 8th -closest satellite. Also as a bonus from universe we have photograph of the subsatellite of the exomoon Sharaf.
12/07/23 12:52 +4 GMT
Now we have a photograph of a sub-satellite orbiting Sharaf in its most visible phase when neither overexposed by starlight of NOVA III and exoplanet
A0 - 3 nor in Sharaf's shadow.
15/01/24 14:34 +4 GMT
Based on observations, the satellite's surface is predominantly covered with oceans of flammable substance. Circling around its axis, under the influence of intense A0 - 3 radiation, the temperature on the surface of the ocean rises, conditions arise under which the liquid begins to ignite, and under the influence of high pressure, the released gases are pushed out, condense and fall out on the opposite side of the exoplanet. Due to precipitation and low temperatures, the flame goes out on the dark side. The difficulty of maintaining such conditions in a stable state for a long time is demonstrated by the recent approach of exosatellite's orbit or delicate balance on Kesler.

On the way to KESLER's orbit, an infrared image of A0 - 3 was taken, showing detailed surface relief and energetic emissions. This provides an explanation for the collapse of the eighth satellite that occurred in November 2022, due to the gigantic volume of matter ejected into interplanetary space from the atmosphere as a result of active processes occurring on the exoplanet.

is a burning exoplanet that has, after the collapse of the closest satellite at the end of 2022, 7 satellites, so far, one found sub-satellite and gas-rich protoplanetary disks. In fact, this is a fractal system, where the central star NOVA III maintaining thermonuclear reactions of A0 - 3. Due to this, it has sufficient energy to maintain its satellites and their sub-satellites. Presumably, it was an independent system over time that got into the field of influence of a larger stellar system.
NEWS from TSOY / A0 - 3
Artist Residency above the surface of the most distant satellite of A0 - 3, named TSOY in honor of the first human to enter the satellite's gravitational field.
19/09/24 08:49 +4 GMT
A new mission, has been launched to the fractal system A0 - 3, aimed at closely exploring its exosatellites. Today, the stellardrop localized at A0 - 3, marking the first capsule launch to the distant satellite Tsoy. After the previous successful quantum transfer to exoplanet A2 - 4, marking a significant step forward in cosmic art exploration, the next chapter of the ‘Celestialism’ capsule-residency program has commenced. This time, the residency features outstanding photography artist Katya Tsoy, whose unique aesthetic — defined by fluid lines and impeccable tonal vision prevailing on the exosatellite — earned her unanimous selection by the residency council.
Katya's capsule has been transferred to a visually and physically distinct region of the satellite, long regarded as a point of scientific interest. This area, with its unique landscape, is expected to further enrich her work, aligning perfectly with her renowned vision.
As the 'Celestialism' residency progresses, this cosmic initiative continues to redefine the boundaries of artistic practice, inviting a deeper fusion of visual art with extraterrestrial landscapes.
In an extraordinary journey
11/10/24 11:00 GMT / Part 1
Katya Tsoy has taken part in the latest edition of the ‘Celestialism’ cosmic art residency, spending time above the exosatellite named after her as a first explorer — TSOY, which orbits the distant exoplanet A0–3. Her time there, within a specially designed capsule on it’s close orbit, has led to groundbreaking artistic revelations.
Reflecting on her initial encounter, Kate remarked, “I had imagined the surface might visually resemble human skin, given the colors I observed in exosatellite’s photograph. But what truly surprised and impressed me was witnessing the landscape move like breathing flesh, even as I approached the satellite in my capsule.”
This phenomenon, explained by scientists, may result from various atmospheric and geological processes. A0–3’s gravitational pull likely exerts tidal forces on exosatellite’s atmosphere, producing compression waves that rise and fall, creating an illusion of slow breathing, synchronized with the satellite’s orbit. This effect, similar to Earth’s tides, could be intensified by satellite’s unique mineral composition.
Additionally, scientists have suggested that certain minerals on TSOY, such as silica and iron compounds, may undergo sublimation and condensation cycles, with temperature fluctuations contributing to the “breathing” effect. As the exosatellite’s surface heats and cools, gases are released from and absorbed into its porous rock structures, producing subtle pulses in the atmosphere. Furthermore, the silica deposits may be layered and interlocked like skin tissue, creating a surface texture that resembles human skin in both appearance and response to environmental changes.
Katya’s encounter on this cosmic body offers an unprecedented look at the interplay of celestial forces and mineral life, blending artistic vision with scientific curiosity. Her series, to be unveiled as part of “Celestialism” will invite audiences to experience the rhythm of TSOY’s “breath” through her lens, adding a new dimension to our understanding of exoplanetary satellites.
12/10/24 10:33 GMT / Part 2
New details were found based on the collected data on the visual properties of the landscape. The exosatellite TSOY features a surface of mica and hematite layers, giving it a striking, skin-like appearance. Mica reflective properties create a variable sheen across the landscape, while iron oxide deposits produce a patchy texture, similar to freckles. Long-term chemical weathering has further refined the mineral surface, lending it a shimmer akin to the natural luster of human skin. Katya's unique vision offers us a clear and aesthetically captivating glimpse into how distant worlds can feel so profoundly close to us. Slide movie.

20/11/24 07:20 GMT
The second orbital probe equipped with a medium format infrared imaging sensor successfully arrived at A0 - 3's KESLER satellite. The device photographed all sectors of the cosmic body. Several of these images revealed visible areas of a liquid surface, indicating the presence of an ocean under its flammasphere, Which is a highly charged layer influenced by its exoplanet, It is behaving similarly to flames on Earth but with denser properties, causing it to move more slowly.
21/11/24 08:33 GMT
The illuminated side of KESLER continues to reveal its mesmerizing phenomenon: slow-moving flames dancing across the surface of its flammable oceans. This fiery spectacle, now officially termed the "Flammasphere", is driven by the intense radiation of its exoplanet, A0 - 3.
As the flames ascend, the high-pressure environment triggers condensation of expelled gases, leaving behind intricate deposits when the cycle cools. Scientists liken these deposits to agate formations on Earth, where layers of minerals create vibrant, banded textures over time.
The discovery raises new questions about the satellite's chemical composition and the potential for such deposits to store clues about its volatile cycles.

KESLER's prominences are massive clouds of plasma that erupt from the satellite's flammasphere. These structures often resemble tongues of flame, and their length can reach hundreds of thousands of kilometers. They are stable for several weeks or months and may either fall back onto it or attracted by exoplanet A0 - 3.
24/11/24 11:37 GMT
A new aerial view of the KESLER surface has been captured, revealing a flammasphere — a heated upper layer of the liquid metal ocean. This dynamic and volatile environment consists of molten metals like iron, magnesium, and silicate compounds, which interact with the intense radiation from the host exoplanet A0 - 3.
Iron: The main component responsible for the surface's dense, reflective properties.
Magnesium: Increases the reactivity of the ocean, producing brighter, more volatile plasma when exposed to heat.
This interaction creates waves of liquid metal, glowing as their upper layers ionize into plasma. The environment follows a complex cycle of evaporation, ionization, and recombination, resulting in a self-sustaining, fiery ecosystem. On the cooler, shadowed side of KESLER, the evaporated elements condense back into liquid form, completing the metal ocean cycle.

Further studies of yesterday's IR photograph from a bird's eye view from the very edge of the illuminated part of the KESLER’s flammasphere reveal a new combustion phenomenon. This was from an extreme point for the apparatus, after which it was dubbed 'Phoenix'.
During combustion, substances on the satellite transform into a state of matter commonly referred to as flame or plasma 1. The heated metallic surface ignites, ionizing the outermost layers into a plasma 1 state. This process occurs as the electrons in the metallic atoms are stripped away, creating a glowing, flame-like effect that spreads across the illuminated side of ocean.
On Earth, being lighter than gases, the flame naturally flows upwards, rising into the less dense environment. As the flame ascends, it quickly loses energy - heat, and dissolves back into the surrounding gases.
Here plasma 1 does not behave as conventional flames do on Earth. Instead of rising upwards, the it remains tightly bound near the surface due to the magnetic interactions between A0 - 3 and KESLER. This binding effect creates a slow, undulating motion, as if the flames are "floating" rather than flowing up.
This discovery presents a striking contrast to our understanding of combustion processes on Earth and challenges conventional theories about flame behavior in different planetary environments.

Rome, 41°89 77N, 12°47 79E, Wednesday, the 22nd of June, the 173rd day in the year 1633, 7:00 p.m. The full moon resided in the constellation Sagittarius. Jupiter had already hidden his countenance behind the hills, and in a few minutes Venus would follow him. Draco's head lay in the zenith above the holy city, visible through the oculus of the Pantheon. Diagonally across the street, in front of the steps of the church Santa Maria sopra Minerva, an old man in a hair shirt dismounted a mule, shortly thereafter to kneel down and reveal what he believes and recant what he has seen.
I, Galileo Galilei, have forsworn, sworn and promised... on my knees. Against better judgment. In the face of evidence. Contrary to the experiments. And so she, the sun, has punished me. So, too, the stars have determined, and Jupiter has judged me, taking my sight, so that I could never betray him again. A just punishment for the betrayal. How could I denigrate the truth? No one knows, as well as I. Before me no man saw, what I saw. I was the first, who pointed the lenses upward toward the heavens, unlike all the small minds, who merely held them straight ahead, gazing at the nearest hill. I opened the door. Never before did anyone gaze at all the suns, this twinkling, the innumerable stars, a vastness that took my breath away.
They were always there, yet it was given to me to be the first human to behold them, back then 30 years ago. A sea of stars. Was it not I, who revolutionized seeing?
Who explained to people that the play of light and shadow on the moon is no different than here on earth? That the moon has mountains and valleys and seas? That there is no man in the moon? Yes, it was I, who first saw that Copernicus was right, and that we are the ones that rotate. If the four Medici, the small moons, revolve around
Jupiter, then the Earth cannot be the only center of celestial rotations. I saw it. The sun lies at the center of all large planetary orbits. Did God not give man the ability to reason, an intellect and eyes so that he may use of them?
The experiment - the teacher of all things - showed me everything: that the essence of nature can be described mathematically, that the book of nature is written in the language of mathematics.
Empiricism led to knowledge. And, no, theology is not superior to all sciences, for it is not a science, since it cannot be proven. Only proof can support theory. So elegant was my "Dialogo", so ingenious was the argumentative dance, that in the end there could be no doubt. It was not I who proved, but rather common sense following the arguments. I answered the questions in terms of the Inquisition, back then 1633. Yet the next day, when I had to slip on the hair shirt - I, the great Galileo, like a heretic - in order to appear before the seven cardinals, what choice did I have besides renunciation, besides the disavowal of my knowledge as collateral for my life? But the real punishment is not the lifelong house arrest. The punishment is the darkness. Now I no longer see anything, an eternal night without stars. What I deserve.

Millepiani, Rome, IT
The exhibition, open to the public from February 5 to March 4, 2021, presents digital, photographic and video works that reflect on the theme of the virtual dimension, interpreted according to different declinations and perspectives.
Starting from the Renaissance period, the very concept of the frame was a reference to the idea of a window that opens to external worlds, to other worlds and to what is beyond reality.
The result of the group show Windows into the Virtual is a mirror of the reality we live: sometimes it shows the world we live in, at other times it breaks through the door of the unreal, the non-existent, the paradoxical.

Shifting Realities: Echoes and Dreams
It is a contemporary documentary photography exhibition that explores the fluid nature of life and identity through diverse visual narratives. The exhibition weaves together stories of transformation, memory, and aspiration, reflecting the interplay between the past, present, and imagined futures. Through a series of photographic subcollections, the exhibition presents a broad spectrum of lived experiences-capturing the fragility of rural life, the imaginative pull of cosmic exploration, the echoes of social crises, and the resilience of those left behind. Each narrative stands on its own while collectively forming a portrait of shifting realities in a world where dreams often collide with harsh realities

The U.S.'s National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has a plan, the Artemis Program, to land humans back on the Moon in 2026, for the first time in over 50 years.
In parallel with the Artemis program, NASA will send scientific instruments to the Moon, over 2023 to 2026. Along with NASA instruments, these missions will carry commercial payloads, including the time capsules that make up The Lunar Codex. All are curated in by professional editors, anthologists, publishers, art curators, and gallerists.
All in all, the Lunar Codex comprises six time capsules, each launched by a different mission. These archival missions of the Lunar Codex are part of the most significant placement of contemporary arts on the Moon in over fifty years.
At its essence, the Lunar Codex is a set of time capsules, a message-in-a-bottle to future generations.
"Our hope is that future travelers who find these time capsules will discover some of the richness of our world today... It speaks to the idea that, despite wars and pandemics and climate upheaval, humankind found time to dream, time to create art.” - Samuel Peralta
NOVA III will be on the last mission called CODEX POLARS via Spacex Falcon Heavy, launching in September 2025
