A ring in the form of an orrery

I finally found pictures of my Orrery ring! It made it through a good number of rounds in the annual battle of the rings smackdown and show in Seattle. So finicky to make. I'm really proud of it. #Orrery #SolarSystem #smithSky #metalsmith #jewellery #patiTozerArtist

Loki Patera on Io (moon of Jupiter) I'm sure going to revisit this chapter in the The Moons Symphony Lunar online course over and over again. My sketch is supposed to be illustrating the resurfacing waves on Loki Patera #solarsystem #moons #onlinecourse #homeschooling @alfalkenberg.bsky.social

Giant 'forbidden planet' orbiting small star shows an unusually low-metal atmosphere Scientists have discovered that a highly unusual giant planet—sometimes called "forbidden"—could have an atmosphere with fewer heavier elements than its host star. University of Birmingham astrophysicist Dr. Anjali Piette worked with an international research team to analyze James Webb Space Telescope data from the exoplanet TOI-5205 b. This is a Jupiter-sized planet orbiting a star about four times the size of Jupiter and about 40% the mass of the sun.

[FLASH WARNING] Timelapse showing the process behind my Europa drawing in the previous post! 🤗♾️✨🔯

A complex mandela, meant to represent Europa from an unusual perspective. Primarily creams with a 'deep ocean blue' as the outer ring - showing the 'scraped and cracked icy surface' in an unusual way. The deep blue layer is almost like a cutaway, displaying a far more intricate design of blues, golds, a touch of copper and interlaced geometric shapes until it reaches the primarily 'sulfur yellow' near the core.

Very stylized drawing inspired by Europa, thanks Jupiter! 🤗♾️✨🔯

Gemini South confirms long-suspected link between the composition of exoplanets and their host stars Astronomers have discovered that a giant planet, WASP-189b, echoes the composition of its host star, providing the first direct evidence of a foundational concept in astrobiology. This discovery was achieved through the first-ever simultaneous measurement of gaseous magnesium and silicon in a planet's atmosphere. The team used the Gemini South telescope, one half of the International Gemini Observatory. The findings are published in the journal Nature Communications.

Saturn’s magnetic bubble is lopsided compared to Earth’s Saturn's magnetic shield is asymmetrical compared to Earth’s, suggests a new study involving University College London (UCL) researchers, and this is likely a result of its fast rotation coupled with the heavy material it pulls around it.
