The "Starcatcher" piece is a self-portrait but it's another gal tossing stars around in "Star Party." That silhouette is an edited still from a short Flash animation she did for their Hubblesite.org feature on Dark Energy:http://hubblesite.org/hubble_discoveries/dark_energy/
(Go the section called "The Accelerating Universe"... radio button # 11 for the animation)
