We did manage to get a couple of #AuroraBorealis pics from Saturday evening in Red Bluff, CA. The show lasted but maybe 30-40 minutes. Not nearly as long as Friday. But it was still exciting. #photography#celestial
Stars played an important role in ancient Egyptian belief. In the Pyramid Texts the soul of the deceased pharaoh ascends to the #celestial realm of the imperishable circumpolar stars.
"He places thee at the head of the spirits, the imperishable stars."
From Samuel Dunn, (c. 1774), centered on the Sun with a notation about its black spots and how they "move from East to West", this is a state of the art depiction of our solar system as best as it was known at the time. Notes six planets and their moons, with Jupiter having 4 (now counted as 95 moons) and Saturn as having 5 (now totaled up to 146 moons).
#PPOD: NASA’s JWST new view of Cassiopeia A (Cas A) in near-infrared light is giving astronomers hints at the dynamical processes occurring within the supernova remnant. Tiny clumps represented in bright pink and orange make up the supernova’s inner shell, and are comprised of sulfur, oxygen, argon, and neon from the star itself. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, D.

Pour ce dessin je voulais avant tout dessiner un ciel plein d’étoiles et de planètes, avec quelque chose qui voyagerait au milieu. Je partais pour un quelconque animal marin mais il est vite devenu évident que ça ne pouvait être qu’elle, sinon personne…
A celestial image of a gold-hued moon amidst sparkling gold splatters with the words “Love you to the moon and back.” Created to tell your special someone just how much you love them. :)
#commission request: I'm looking to get a small, piece of #furry#pride art done for myself. I want myself rendered with the #Celestial pride flag. Something small, colored, rough, low effort.
