The scout ships were gracious enough to let me photograph them and their home planet.After all-If they can get here what do they have to fear from us.
On a serious note I used the flash on the first picture to give it a different effect and the 2nd I wanted to take a single colorful bubble to make it look like a class M planet.If you take a picture of a bright earth looking bubble with a dark background and apply different levels of contrast the background will tend to be very dark after several applications.Now you can add "Stars" to get a nice effect.I need a Red Solo Cup.I'm all spaced out for now.---Capn zap

Send the second one to NASA and see what they make of it. Darn thing almost looks like a planet. Glad to see the bubble maker is back in business.

Thanks guys.I hope that someone in a colder clime posts a shot or two of a frozen bubble.When it's well below freezing they freeze soon as they leave the wand and then land without breaking.I'm going to wait a long while before I can try it again.----charliezap

Dave -If I told how I got into space the NSA would be at my doorstep and the Inquisition would begin.My newly found friends would have to make an example with a show of force so that the "federalies" would back off.--charliezap
