Explanation:
Demonstrating her mastery of a
traditional
astronomical imaging technique
quilter and
astronomy enthusiast Judy Ross
has produced this spectacular composition of "Astronomy
Quilt Piece of the Week".
Her year-long effort resulted in an arrangement for a six by seven foot
quilt consisting
of 52 individual pieces
(11 inches by 8 inches), one for each week,
which she reports were inspired by her steady diet of
APOD's daily offerings.
Some of the pieces are based on actual pictures, such as the
Hubble Space Telescope's
view of planet forming
AB Aurigae or Bill Keel's image of the
nearby Pinwheel Galaxy.
Others, with titles like
the Blue
Carpet Nebula and
Duck
Contemplates Black Hole, are from her own creative imaginings.
