Why planetary rings are interesting to think about — and with In my previous post on Another Planet, I talked about my upcoming residency at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, where I will be…

I've just published another post on #AnotherPlanet, this time explaining why I find #planetaryrings so interesting to think about and with – and start to sketch how attending closely to them might extend ideas of #newmaterialism and 'nonorganic life'.

An image of the planet Saturn with its rings, on which are superimposed one of Ramon Llull's circular figures, listing in Latin the 'dignities' or divine attributes: Goodness, Wisdom, Glory, Simplicity, Greatness, Will, Perfection, Nobility, Eternity, Virtue, Justice, Mercy, Power, Truth, Generosity, Dominion.

I've been awarded a Fellowship at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, to develop a speculative astrophysics of #planetaryrings, viewing them through late-medieval thought— especially the ideas of the extraordinary mystical philosopher #RamonLlull. Read more here: medium.com/anotherplane...

Six images of Saturn and its rings over the years. One image per year from 2020 where the rings are clearly visible. In 2025 Saturn crossed Equinox which means that the rings were edge on and can hardly be seen.

False-color infrared image of Saturn from the Cassini spacecraft. The rings are highlighted in blue, while Saturn's atmosphere displays red thermal emissions and green sunlit reflections, revealing atmospheric bands, storms, and a hexagonal cloud system at the North Pole. The image showcases the beauty and complexity of Saturn's atmosphere and rings.
