red giant au concept!!!

stages of how he became whatever that is😞😞

extraaaaaas about this au

he kills A LOT of toys and eats them but he just doesn’t feel full so he keeps doing it (it doesn’t help anymore, this stage’s duration lasts about 2 days before he actually dies so don’t worry he wont act like this much time)

i hope you like this is idea!! jajaj :p

THE RED GIANT

Not as large as the red super giant, this red star will be red chrome with epoxy coating. Simple but stunning

Red giant, Indrella ampulla, Ariophantidae

Found in India

Despite the name red giant, they also are seen in other colors including shades of yellow, white, orange, and black:

Note: the image above is a combination of optical and ultraviolet light.

The name Tiaki comes from the Tuamotoan word Tiaki meaning "to care, guard, or protect"

I wish to see Red Giant again (A.k.a your Blood Sun plz)

Had a bit of a glowup

[sixoclockuty]

hi (makes starlo a red giant star early)

hey lol (steals all of his hydrogen EARLY so he’s FUCKED UP and RED instead of a MAIN SEQUENCE STAR and he can’t NUCLEAR FISSION!!!!)

here’s an extra doodle

he can talk in full sentences but a lot of the time it’s just too taxing along with everything else he has to worry about

Just a normal star, nothing to see here!

Pictured here is a shot of a red giant star over 100 times the size of our Sun known as ‘Zrn’, located along the mid-Centaurus Arm of the Milky Way, with a comparatively tiny somewhat-elliptical gas giant in the foreground orbiting it. Also encircling Zrn is a monolithic matryoshka brain (essentially a monumental supercomputer which is constructed around a star) which takes on the form of a relatively thin ring around the equator with trillions of smaller solar panels encompassing the total circumference of Zrn to harvest its solar energy and power the ring. Another highly-important factoid to know about this matryoshka brain, which is colloquially known as ‘Xii’, is that it is conscious – even sophont. As to how Xii gained awareness as a whole entity is not entirely clear, but what we do know is that it was constructed around one billion years ago by a civilisation simply known as the Proto-Yn. The Proto-Yn initiated a project in which they’d form this colossal structure around their home star and upload their minds into it to live out the rest of eternity within a digital universe – a simulated, artificial matrix. Many were drafted into this project (with 57.3 billion individuals originally comprising the collective emerged intelligence that is now Xii) but some resisted, eventually fleeing to distant stars to flee the tyrannical annexation efforts of their ancestors. In response, Xii chased down this group of the Proto-Yn for unclear reasons, though many hypothesise it may be to assimilate them into the virtual realm as a grudge or simply as a result of the pre-built AI algorithms of the supercomputer. Regardless of its true motive, Xii has persistently kept up this pursuit on and off for the past billion years, with this cat-and-mouse chase between the Yn and Xii causing disturbances all over their local region of the galaxy and its native residents.

All that aside, I really only made this post because I felt like making an environmental illustration lol, but rest assured there is much more to Xii and especially the Yn and their interstellar neighbours than I've briefly talked over in this post, so make sure to follow me for future posts which will elaborate on them and the world they live in :)

Also, I used this screenshot I took in Space Engine as a reference:

sometimes it's fun to go out and have ice battles with giant monsters in the middle of the night. no matter what prompto says

Ultimately, one can't defy their destiny.

Quick concept design for Red Giant Sun.

[feralboo-the-weirdo]

I want to go feral. Scream until my voice goes hoarse. I didn't want a family like this. I want to be angry. But I can't. Not safe. Not the time. Can't crack the eggshells. The Sunshine child wants to explode and finally let go of the outer shell. But they'll destroy their universe.

Maybe they've stopped caring.

Filaments of glowing gas are abundantly present in this nebula known as The Medusa Nebula, or Abell 21. It is an old planetary nebula some 1,500 light-years away in the constellation Gemini and like its mythological namesake, the nebula is associated with a dramatic transformation. The planetary nebula phase represents a final stage in the evolution of low mass stars like the sun as they transform themselves from red giants to hot white dwarf stars and in the process shed off their outer layers. Ultraviolet radiation from the hot star powers the nebular glow. The Medusa's transforming star is the faint one near the center of the overall bright crescent shape. In this deep telescopic view, fainter filaments clearly extend below and right of the bright crescent region. The Medusa Nebula is estimated to be over 4 light-years across.

The new comic is out! Planet X talks about the end of the solar system!

Tania Australis (μ Ursae Majoris, right) and the Little Pinwheel Galaxy (NGC 3184, left) // Mike Hamende

The name "tania australis" is a combination of tania, which comes from the Arabic phrase Al Fiḳrah al Thānia meaning "the second spring", and australis, which is Latin for "south."
