Welcome to my rather boring page! Hehe. You will mostly find, artworks of mine and some space and food stuff.

Saturn’s Moons and Rings
“From on high, the Cassini spacecraft spies a group of three ring moons in their travels around Saturn. Her moon Janus (181 kilometers, or 113 miles across) is seen at top, while her moon Pandora (84 kilometers, or 52 miles across) hugs the outer edge of the narrow F ring. More difficult to spot is Pan (26 kilometers, or 16 miles across), which is a mere speck in this view. Pan can be seen in the Encke Gap, near center right. (See PIA08389 for a labeled Cassini map of the rings.) The speck seen between the A and F rings at left is a background star.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 40 degrees above the ringplane. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view.”

The Northern Lights
You are likely to see a natural colorful display in the sky if you take a trip to the Arctic Region, in the Northern Hemisphere. Here, the colorful lights are the result of interaction between solar storms from the sun and the earth’s outer atmosphere.

The elvish moon princess!
Meet my new MLP OC, Theiya the Flightless. She is a royal changeling, although a failed one. The bio is in my dA account.
I like her mane that way.
Astronomers confounded by massive rocky world
Astronomers have discovered a rocky planet that weighs 17 times as much as Earth and is more than twice as large in size. This discovery has planet formation theorists challenged to explain how such a world could have formed.“We were very surprised when we realized what we had found,” said astronomer Xavier Dumusque of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, Massachusetts, who led the analysis using data originally collected by NASA’s Kepler space telescope.
Kepler-10c, as the planet had been named, had a previously measured size of 2.3 times larger than Earth, but its mass was not known until now. The team used the HARPS-North instrument on the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo in the Canary Islands to conduct follow-up observations to obtain a mass measurement of the rocky behemoth.
It was thought worlds such as this could not possibly exist. The enormous gravitational force of such a massive body would accrete a gas envelope during formation, ballooning the planet to a gas giant the size of Neptune or even Jupiter. However, this planet is thought to be solid, composed primarily of rock.
“Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, nature gives you a huge surprise — in this case, literally,” said Natalie Batalha, Kepler mission scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. “Isn’t science marvelous?”
Kepler-10c orbits a sun-like star every 45 days, making it too hot to sustain life as we know it. It is located about 560 light-years from Earth in the constellation Draco. The system also hosts Kepler-10b, the first rocky planet discovered in the Kepler data.
