While out hunting for the aurora borealis this December, astrophotographer Brett Abernethy captured this incredible meteor fireball streaking across the sky near Johnson Lake in Banff National Park, Canada.

A glorious reunion.

Completed on 19th June 2025.

My interpretation: I was inspired by the fall of Ile-Rien trilogy by Martha Wells, but I wanted to depict a fan-fic scenario where the full cast of characters from the series are reunited post trilogy. The setting would be maybe 10 or 20 years later in the other world. The liner is based loosely off the Queen Mary and ss Normandie with my own imagination thrown in, too.

Decades after the war, Ile-Rien is back on its feet and beginning to thrive once more. The wizards of Lodun University and government have developed their spell spheres, making them into magical computers. Using these, they're able to take the newly refurbished Queen Ravenna back through a reconnected gateway into the other world. On arrival, the ship enters the calm summer waves and sounds its horn as it sails toward the coastline, where it is greeted by a native longship and the cheering crews and passengers of both vessels exchange pleasantries.

A Complete Aurora - April 2nd, 1997.

"Aurora frequently make complete rings around a pole of the Earth. This particular "crown," visible in orange near the top of this image, was taken by the orbiting Polar spacecraft in 1996, and released by NASA in March, 1997. A complete auroral oval is normally hard to photograph because part of it usually occurs over a brightly sunlit portion of the Earth. Polar's Earth Camera, however, can be programmed to filter out all but a certain type of ultraviolet light. In this "colour," atmospheric oxygen can glow brighter than reflected sunlight. People with normal eyesight living near the Great Lakes in North America would have been able to see this aurora, were it not daytime!"

I need Ichi the Witch to get an anime adaptation someday so I can bawl through most of the episodes in this arc. It would be a good, cathartic cry.
