Time Machine Among the Stars — Photorealistic Scene

Photorealistic sci-fi scene of a sleek time machine floating in open space among the stars. The device is a compact, cylindrical hull of brushed chrome with a transparent glass dome, intricate etched panels, and a glowing blue chrono-core pulsing at its center. Subtle engravings line the hull, a hatch slightly ajar revealing a softly lit interior console. Surrounding the machine is a rich starfield, a distant spiral galaxy, and a vibrant pink-emerald nebula with a ringed planet visible on the horizon. Faint chronal ripples warp the surrounding space as time seems to bend. High dynamic range lighting with realistic reflections on metal and glass, lens flares, volumetric glow, and shallow depth of field. The camera sits slightly low, elevating the machine against the cosmic backdrop, conveying motion and anticipation of time travel. Color palette emphasizes cobalt blue, teal, magenta, silver, and black, with photorealistic textures and subtle atmospheric haze.
