Moon phases. Time-lapse image of the phases of the Moon, as seen from Earth during a lunar (synodic) month. A full Moon is at centre, with pairs of (from inner to outer) gibbous Moons, quarter Moons and crescent Moons. The lunar phases occur because the Moon does not produce its own light, but reflects that of the Sun. As it travels around the Earth during its 29.53-day orbit, parts of the Moon's surface which are visible from Earth become shadowed by the Moon itself. Crescent Moons occur when the Moon lies almost between the Earth and Sun, and full moons occur when the Moon is furthest from the Sun.

This is a composite image of the Los Angeles Metro Gold Line station in Monrovia as a train pulls up. Five 5 second exposures, with a variable neutral density filter, were used to create this image of a translucent train arriving. The Monrovia station, and 5 other stations opened in March, 2016.

Spiral galaxy M81, composite image. M81 is around 12 million light years from Earth, in the constellation of Ursa Major. It has a supermassive black hole at its centre. This image was obtained by the Chandra X-ray Observatory (blue), Hubble Space Telescope (visible light, green), the Spitzer Space Telescope (infrared, pink), and the Galaxy Evolution Explorer Orbiter(GALEX, ultraviolet, purple).

Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) and the star Eta Carinae (upper centre), composite image. Eta Carinae is a variable hypergiant star. This region is 10,000 light years from Earth, in the constellation of Carina. This composite image combines data in infrared (red and green) and optical (blue). The infrared data is from the IRAC instrument on the Spitzer Space Telescope and 2MASS (Two Micron All Sky Survey). The optical data is from the DSS (Digitized Sky Survey). This allows study of the structure of the nebula. Red areas are hidden behind dark clouds of dust in visible light. Blue areas are not obscured by dust. Image published in 2011.

Close to the chaos that is central Marrakesh, there is a peaceful area of Majorelle Gardens. One of the many surprises in Morocco. The Majorelle Garden is a two and half acre botanical garden and artist's landscape garden in Marrakech, Morocco. It was created by the French Orientalist artist, Jacques Majorelle over almost forty years, starting in 1923, and features a Cubist villa designed by the French architect, Paul Sinoir in the 1930s. Was owned by Yves Saint Laurent. Vibrant blues and yellows make this a well photographed location. This composite is my attempt to capture the colours, shapes and design of Majorelle Gardens.

Hand of God pulsar wind nebula. Composite image showing the pulsar wind nebula nicknamed the 'Hand of God'. This cloud of material was ejected from a star that blew up in a supernova explosion. The dead remains of the star at the centre (not visible) is a pulsar named B1509 (PSR B1509-58), which fires out a particle wind into the material around it. These particles are interacting with magnetic fields around the material, causing it to glow with X-rays. Image composed of high-energy X-ray data from NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR, blue) and lower-energy X-ray data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory (green and red).
