Nebula Deep

Nebula Deep pairs real deep-field astrophotography with the restraint of mission-control interfaces. The hero is a full-bleed nebula; everything else lives on smoked-glass panels that let the dust colours bleed faintly through. Type is wide, engineered and uppercase, like lettering on a spacecraft hull, with telemetry-style mono labels everywhere. It draws from 1970s space-programme graphics and modern observatory imaging. The tone is awe, held in check by precision.

Principles

• Let the nebula photograph be the only full-colour moment on the page.
• Set display type wide, uppercase and modest in size — authority comes from width, not scale.
• Label everything like telemetry: units, counts, statuses.
• Teal means 'go'; magenta is atmosphere only.
• Keep panels smoked and dark so the photograph never competes with text.

Motion

The hero nebula drifts 3% and rotates 1 degree over 60 seconds, like a slow telescope track. Panels resolve from a 16px blur while mono telemetry labels count up from zero.
