"Perseids over the Bohemian Forest" 🌌 Counted over 70 meteors painting the night sky in one hour!

📸 Thomas Havel Photography

The composite image was taken from Březník on the northern edge of the Luzenské valley in Šumava National Park. The whole location is in the middle of wild forests and is one of the darkest places in the Czech Republic. The night sky includes the central arch of our Milky Way Galaxy and the planets Saturn and Jupiter on the left side of the Milky Way. Make a wish! 💫

Planet Personifications - Info Sheets

you may or may not have seen these guys floating around on here, but these fellas are my planet personifications! ive been meaning to post these for a while now (made sol’s sheet nearly a year ago lmao), but here they are!

i’ve always had a passion for astronomy, and combining it with my passion for character design lead to me making these guys a few years ago. i tend to focus more on what we’ve observed about these planets when figuring out their design and personality, which is always very fun for me hehehe.

if yall have any questions regarding these guys, feel free to ask! i may not get to it right away (my inbox is a mess yikes’’’) but i dunno i love these fellas so much asgdhahsd

(text on each sheet under read more)

Sol (the sun) [he/him - bi - 7′8″]: About as happy and "sunny" as you'd expect! He's the "leader" of the solar system and loves each and every one of his planets!

Mercury [he/him - gay - 5′3″]: The aloof first planet. He's a lot more talkative than you'd expect, able to hold convos that go on for hours. Has been through a lot but still living strong!

Venus [she/her - bi - 5′7″]: The explosive and derisive 2nd planet. Her acid skies and  fiery temperatures leaves her always itching for a bit of destruction.

Earth  (terra) [they/them - nb&bi - 5′7″]: Home sweet home! They're the solar system's sweetheart, arguably being it's most powerful planet. May or may not be the main character of reality.

Mars [he/him - bi - 5′5″]: The first planet after the ice line, Mars is very anxious, kinda depressed, and always ready for a bit of vandalism. Probably the most introverted extrovert you'll ever meet.

Jupiter [he/him - bi - 6′6″]: The largest planet in the solar system. He's a gentle-giant-in-training who's trying to atone for his past. His distinguished appearance poorly hides a friendly and silly soul.

Saturn [he/him - trans&bi - 6′4″]: The least dense of the planets. Generally the voice of reason among the planets, even if he seems somewhat self-absorbed. High standards for himself, but more for giving for others.

Uranus [he/him - bi - 6′1″]: Permanently on his side from a collision in his youth, Uranus has a sideways view of the world that tends to distance him from the other planets. It doesn't help he also has trouble feeling and expressing emotions.

Neptune [he/him - trans&gay - 6′1″]: The farthest planet in the solar system. Neptune is an anxious, emotional crybaby who has trouble calming down, and will often argue with people for hours on end. Good thing he has Uranus around to keep him in check.

Pluto [he/him - nb&ace - 5′0″]: The largest of the dwarf planets! Pluto has a very large and loud personality that makes up for his small size. Often left out of things, he will try to make his mark by any means necessary.

Hale-Bopp, Jupiter, and the Milky Way - July 23rd, 1996.

"Shining brightly, the mighty Jupiter rules this gorgeous Kodacolour photo of the Milky Way near Sagittarius. Astronomer Bill Keel took the picture earlier in the month (July 7th, 1996) while standing near the summit of Hawaii's Mauna Kea, contemplating the sky in the direction of the center of the galaxy (right of the picture's center). In addition to the gas giant planet, which is well placed for evening viewing, the image contains an impressive sampler of celestial goodies. Many famous emission nebulae are visible as reddish patches - M16, the Eagle nebula, is just above and right of the center, with the Horseshoe nebula, M17, just below it and farther to the right. Also, look for the Lagoon Nebula, M8, as the brightest red patch at the right of the picture with the Trifid Nebula, M20, just above it and to the left. The milky glow of distant unresolved stars in the plane of our galaxy (thus the term Milky Way) runs through the image, cut by dark, absorbing, interstellar dust clouds. The much anticipated comet Hale-Bopp is also visible. The comet was discovered while still beyond the orbit of Jupiter on July 23rd, 1995, independently by Alan Hale and Thomas Bopp."

SPACEMAS DAY 16 ✨🪐🌎☄️☀️🌕

This featured wide-angle mosaic was taken over the steppe golden fields in Mértola, Portugal in 2020. From such a dark location, an immediately-evident breathtaking glow arched over the night sky: the central band of the Milky Way galaxy. But this sky had much more. Thin clouds crossed the sky like golden ribbons. The planet Mars appeared on the far left, while Saturn and Jupiter were also simultaneously visible. However on the opposite side of the sky, here seen on the far right. Near the top of the image the bright star Vega can be found, while the far-distant and faint Andromeda Galaxy can be seen toward the left, just below Milky Way's arch.

Hey everyone I'm back :D (sorry I didn't post I was very busy like a lot) but anyways this is a special post for @alextydaisuda123 here is Milky Way echo

(original echo by @alextydaisuda123 )

May I ask for a Northern Cross please?

I'd like Dottore. If you don't write for him Pantalone or Childe from genshin! (Whoever you're comfortable with the most and fits the most i guess)

A bit about myself....I enjoy laughing and is quite thirsty for knowledge of all kind (I'm very curious). I daydream a lot and like teasing people. I'm very sarcastic and a no bs type of person.

The dynamic: Someone who loves the chase (him) and someone who keeps teasing him if it makes sense

A prompt to help you out: Hm....how about a letter to ask why you haven't been responding or why did you endanger their last mission?

Thank you so much for the event!

+ hi hi hi! thank you very much for requesting! i hope you're doing well. + that dynamic is SO juicy, i adore it. i think dottore would definitely like the thrill of the tease and finds your teasing amusing, if not a bit aggravating.

+ here's your letter, dear!

(want a personalized letter? check out my milky way event!)

[ scribbled in an elegant yet shaky scrawl on a ripped piece of paper. ]

What were you thinking? Your silly daydreaming needs to be contained while out doing Her Majesty's bidding. Not only did you jeopardize the mission, you also ended up jeopardizing the well-being of my most prized possession.

Do try to be careful next time. It wouldn't do any of us any good if you end up harmed.

— D.

[ written in a more cleaned up, elegant script on a full page of paper. ]

I see we're back to the "not replying" part of our relationship. And here I thought we've moved past that.

You do realize I so love the chase, right? The more you resist, the more I want to catch you and keep you near. Though, it would do you well to respond soon—you wouldn't want to make me mad. Well, wherever you're stationed, I hope you're keeping my prized possession safe. I abhor the thought of anything happening to them.

I do desperately miss the thrill of the chase being in person, though I do recognize the benefit of us being in separate regions for our missions, as much as I abhor it. I know you have much work to do, as do I. However, would it harm you to send replies? Or is teasing me, leaving me hanging as I get angrier, even more appealing to you now, my prize?

Maybe you're waiting to see if I unexpectedly appear.

Now, that's an intriguing thought. I'm sure someone will tell me where you are. Her Majesty surely wouldn't fault me for abandoning my station to come make sure you're doing your job. Who knows, maybe you're jeopardizing your mission by teasing other unsuspecting men. We can't have that, can we?

Do reply this time or you'll soon see why it wouldn't do you any good to ignore me.

— D.

i hope you don't mind the letter mentioning you being part of the fatui. if you want a different version, do feel free to request again! i loved writing this. also, i hope i got dottore's voice well—it was a bit tough since i've never written him before, but he and his rambles definitely amused me. he talks like an unhinged victorian man to me. also, i don't know if it translated well, but dottore is calling you his prized possession.

Found some Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls pics on Pinterest, thought some of them were in dire need of a redesign, so here.

Update : changed Mars’ hair colour to red to be closer to her namesake planet.
