The Light Dancer - a new science fiction romance/erotica story available now on Kindle Vella. The first three episodes are free to read!

* * *

After somehow surviving a devastating crash on an uninhabited planet, an alien diplomat awakens to an offer of help from a mysterious man clad in heavy combat armor. The man is massive, intimidating, and doesn’t speak much, but he clearly means her no harm…as far as she knows.

Who is this brooding man-of-few-words, and why did he rescue her? Why is he here? And, underneath it all, why can’t she help being so fascinated with him?

I’ll be starting more series here soon too—I may even post my book as one

The Busy Center of the Lagoon Nebula
Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble; Processing: Francisco Javier Pobes Serrano

Explanation: The center of the Lagoon Nebula is a whirlwind of spectacular star formation. Visible near the image center, at least two long funnel-shaped clouds, each roughly half a light-year long, have been formed by extreme stellar winds and intense energetic starlight. A tremendously bright nearby star, Herschel 36, lights the area. Vast walls of dust hide and redden other hot young stars. As energy from these stars pours into the cool dust and gas, large temperature differences in adjoining regions can be created generating shearing winds which may cause the funnels. This picture, spanning about 15 light years, combines images taken in four colors by the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope. The Lagoon Nebula, also known as M8, lies about 5000 light years distant toward the constellation of the Archer (Sagittarius).

In the Center of the Trifid Nebula
Image Credit & Copyright: Martin Pugh

Explanation: What’s happening at the center of the Trifid Nebula? Three prominent dust lanes that give the Trifid its name all come together. Mountains of opaque dust appear near the bottom, while other dark filaments of dust are visible threaded throughout the nebula. A single massive star visible near the center causes much of the Trifid’s glow. The Trifid, cataloged as M20, is only about 300,000 years old, making it among the youngest emission nebulas known. The star forming nebula lies about 9,000 light years away toward the constellation of the Archer (Sagittarius). The region pictured here spans about 20 light years.
