The Ring Nebula (M57), is more complicated than it appears through a small telescope. The central ring is about one light-year across, but this remarkable exposure by the James Webb Space Telescope explores this popular nebula with a deep exposure in infrared light. Strings of gas, like eyelashes around a cosmic eye, are shown around the Ring in this digitally enhanced featured image in assigned colors. The long filaments may be caused by shadowing of the knots of dense gas in the nebula by light emitted within. The Ring Nebula is an elongated planetary nebula, a type of gas cloud created when a Sun-like star evolves to throw off its outer atmosphere to become a white dwarf star. The central oval in the Ring Nebula lies about 2,500 light-years away toward the constellation Lyra.

Commission for @planetary for their cleric of sel没ne, Io!!! From the instant planetary described the scene of Io escaping the Underdark and gave me some thumbnails I was entranced and just had a wonderful time working on this.
Thank you again for commissioning me! Your character is amazing!
the mundane nature of astrology is often overlooked. even a simple category such as a pen can be described as having many differing planetary qualities depending on its innate form and context.
A classical ballpoint pen used for writing is mercurial. A dashing fountain pen used for calligraphy is Venusian and yet also saturnine in the nature of the controlled spurs of ink that spiral out from its tip.
A pen used for lawmaking or recording important truths is jupiterian.
a soft thick nibbed pen used to write feelings is lunar, though the colored highlighter used for quick remarks and the angry scratching out of imperfections in wording is as Martian as a bloody fist.
