Ah, the Armillary sphere. Truly the most Wizard of home decor items.

#i literally bought one for expressly this purpose #so that people will see it and go #ah yes a wizard lives here #no - i don't know how to use it #now that you know you will see them everywhere #armillary sphere #astrolabe #wizard #wizards #wizard aesthetic #the witcher netflix #the witcher 3 wild hunt #the witcher 3 #the sandman netflix #the wizard of oz #ender lilies #bloodborne #wizardposting

Astronomy Inspired Design in Media: Part 22

Lies of P (2023)

In the hub area of Lies of P, Hotel Krat’s magnificent centerpiece—aptly named the Stargazer—glows

Largely unchanged from how it appears in the concept art for the game

Armillary spheres are the most common form of astronomy inspired design and the Stargazer looks like a carbon copy of brass armillary spheres seen during the time period of Lies of P (1800’s) and earlier

Brass German Armillary Sphere from the 1500’s

Which makes sense, since even as a working instrument they can appear as an enigmatic work of art

Armillary spheres work by rotating the outer rings to represent the position of different celestial objects (stars and moons and planets) in the night sky for a given time of the year

The only piece to note about the Stargazer however is that unlike armillary spheres, the Stargazer does not appear to be able to rotate

“Astronomy Inspired Design in Media” is Wednesday (as I find them)

Encased in a gyroscopic armillary sphere, a supermassive black hole powers the gears that drive a galaxy — or is it the other way around?

Thanks to editor Natalie Wolchover!

I art-directed this article and got to fly with the concept. Happy with the result.

Concept sketches: the ingredients that make a galaxy work vs black holes as galactic “ engines ”

Alt. I like this one also, but didn’t end up choosing it because the lines flatten the scene.

WHAT IS AN ARMILLARY SPHERE, AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

armillary sphere

The name derives from the Roman Latin word armillae which means brass ring

Astronomy Inspired Design in Media: Part 20

Moonfall (2022)

A very silly, very fun little movie with some particularly beautiful sweeping shots of the interior of a Dyson Sphere megastructure (in the moon, obviously) set up as rotating rings

It can be hard to see, but the interior of moon includes mechanisms that rotate around a central star, so this is perhaps the most literal type of an heliocentric armillary sphere

In an armillary sphere, the rotating rings hold the stars in the changing night sky as it moves around the Earth

This 16th century brass armillary sphere is from the Museo Galileo

“Astronomy Inspired Design in Media” is on Wednesday (as I find them)

oc ask meme time hi

i am SO SO sure someone's asked this already but in the small chance no one has... i am so curious: 🥀 (Wilted Rose) - Do they have a Soul form? What would it look and act like? How much control over themselves do they have? Is it still possible to save them, or are they too far gone?

additionally 🛡️💜🕸️< any of these if you'd like!

[ >>> kirby oc ask meme <<< ] fourth time i've been asked this one and i've already buck passed on it, so you know what.... i decided to bite!!!

just for you, because you asked so nicely 💖

🥀 (Wilted Rose) - Do they have a Soul form? What would it look and act like? How much control over themselves do they have? Is it still possible to save them, or are they too far gone?

i think the circumstances for a soul form to happen to her would be near impossible, but not entirely. i think this would be nothing less than a catastrophic printer error. i think it would be bad!! i think it is not supposed to happen, and if it ever did it would be really, really bad. i am not at all confident you'd ever get her back. attacks would not be necessary. i think i'm hardly skilled enough for this and that there should be at least three more rings (i couldn't make it work) and possibly some other things going on, but here's my best estimate:

#tried VERY hard to get the extra rings on there but with the star shape it didn't read well at all. you'll just have to imagine it #hung in gold like an armillary sphere. biblically accurate black hole. i hope you can see it 🌟⚫ #i will come back to the other questions shortly in a separate ask. wanted to deliver this one on its own! #starstruck dee #morpho #ask meme #asks #my art

my murderbot and ART designs

#the murderbot diaries #murderbot #asshole research transport #perihelion #ARTs design is based on an armillary sphere which doesnt make that much sense if you think about it but it looks cool #also i couldnt decide whether to give mb weird shaped pupils or not

[pirepoumon]

there's a neighborhood garden tour next weekend and i could, conceivably, make a day of it and then do midsummer's in the evening but i can't decide if i am beguiled and entranced by the thot of walking thru all the back gardens of the multi-million dollar homes on st. james &c will make me vomit or be nice research for my current architectural fixations. who's to say
