Land of Smooth Plains and Tall Mountains Aside from tall mountains, Io's surface is really smooth, and covered by relatively low-density material. I imagine it might be ash and SO2 frost covering the surface like snow. #art #astronomy #space #SolarSystem #planet #Io #Jupiter
Beta Pictoris d At Teff of 600 K, mass of 2.4 Jupiters, and irradiance similar to Saturn's, I imagine it might superficially resemble Saturn...but those are clouds of molten salt. Background by @celestiaproject.bsky.social #art #astronomy #astronomyart #space #spaceart #planet #exoplanet
The planets of HD 20794 (e Eridani, 82 G. Eridani) I multiplied their minimum masses by ~1.3 to account for their orbital inclinations (from debris disc). b (~3 Earth masses) is an airless rock. c (~4 ME) has CO2 atmosphere. d (~8 ME) is a sub-Neptune. #art #astronomy #space #exoplanet #planet
The victors of the mass accumulation game emerged from the protoplanetary disc to find others in their vicinity. Their instinct tells them one thing: consume everything in their way. The oligarchic growth phase had begun. #ACelestialJournal #art #astronomy #space #SolarSystem #planet

To celebrate the discovery of Pluto, I processed this image, showing the Pluto-Charon system, with Pluto and Charon at real distance and in true color #astronomy #space #pluto #charon #plutocharon #newhorizons #solarsystem

Theia: The Plot Device Theia is commonly depicted as a generic airless planet with lava pools on its cratered surface...essentially the popular, outdated depiction of how Earth was when it was young. Here's my take on this hypothetical planet. #astronomy #space #art #SolarSystem #planet #Theia
