Astronomy Inspired Design in Media: Part 21

Helluva Boss (2021)

Don’t worry: no plot spoilers

The demons in Helluva Boss are inspired by the demons from the goetic grimoire Ars Goetia. In particular:

Stolas (also known as Stolos, Stoppas and Solas) is "a Great Prince of Hell, commands twenty-six legions of demons. He teaches astronomy and is knowledgeable about herbs, plants, and precious stones. He is often depicted as a raven or a crowned owl with long legs.

Sound familiar?

The decorations in Stolas’ manor are particularly beautifully done and are often clearly inspired by a combination of astronomy and plants.

The chandelier(? Lamp? Dining room decoration?) in the dining room appears to be a beautifully crafted brass/gold armillary sphere that even rotates on its axis

Armillary spheres are a common decoration for astronomy-inspired decorations, but a nice touch to this armillary sphere is the distinct angle it rotates at. In armillary spheres on Earth, this angle is the result of the tit of the planet (which on Earth is 23.5 degrees) and the surrounding arc represents the path that the sun travels around the Earth

In Stolas’ mansion, this armillary sphere sits at around 40 degrees. From an artistic perspective, I suspect this is to make the silhouette of the decoration read better to an audience. But it could also imply that hell is at a 40 degree tilt to its sun

This view appears in Season 1 Episode 7 “Ozzie’s” (3:27)

There is a closer view in Season 2 Episode 1 “The Circus” (18:19)

The entire mansion is filled with astronomical devices and decorations

In the same episode (12:42) in Octavia’s room there is what appears to be an orrery on the ceiling of her bedroom. An orrery is a model to illustrate the relative positions/motions of the planets of moons in a solar system. Turns out hell has a lot of planets!

Since the orrery is on the ceiling it is hard to get a full view of it

The best view is probably in n Season 1 Episode 2 “Loo Loo Land” (2:48) where the center star is more visible

Finally, there is a device in this same episode that is easy to miss (I only noticed it while reviewing clips for more angles of the orrery). At 2:30, blink and you’ll miss it. Hard to see it fully but it appears similar to celestial and terrestrial globes with arcs for the path of the moon or sun

And yes, everyone should watch this show. All episodes are on Youtube

Ultra-Angel-tober #2 : Orrery   I had this vision where the wings would be a galaxy and the head the sun, and having a light source this way i actually made that galaxxy all by myself and it was a lot of fun qwq participating in the Angeltober from @ultrainfinitepit​ 

this is my attempt on prompt 2 -Dairiem

I've been watching videos on those beautiful Russian jewelled eggs. Can't mention the name - trademarked. I wanted to create my own version in wood and metal embellishments, adding a tiny LED smaller than a grain of rice within the "sun" crystal bead. The wire leads are finer than a strand of hair so soldering is tricky. As you can see in the photos the battery pack is in the base and both the top and bottom plates can be opened. I wanted it to sit on the legs with the battery pack exposed so it can easily be turned on and off, so there is a notch for the cord to run in the base plate. It takes two CR2032 that are easy to find. I'm still not at the skill level for USB power source.

It's ticked all the boxes for my art: industrial, steampunk aesthetic, science, space, light up, lots of whimsy and unique. I stained the wooden egg to a darker tone. I avoided glue with most of the decoration pinned, riveted and screwed into place. Although it looks delicate - it can be handled. To undo the top part of the egg it should be turned open. I installed two knobs on the internal top plate and a finger grip on the base. Unfortunately I had to fix the planets and sun in place due to the lighting.

This is a prototype so it took many hours to build, not counting the hours working out all the problems with the electrics. But I'm happy with the finished product and will list it in my Etsy shop. The next one will be smaller with a vintage aluminium stamped earth and moon if it will fit.

Fellow builders who are interested most of the brass and copper embellishments from vintage jewellery findings from US sellers. The "star map" points are rivet heads. Although I am learning how to turn wood, I bought the wooden egg as a blank and it came with four other "nesting" eggs inside. Now I'm thinking about doing an egg for each planet.....

Thank you for your interest in my work! I really do appreciate all the hearts, shares and follows. It inspires me to create everyday.

Fun fact, apparently this is called an Orrery. I thought they were just called an astrolabe or a solar system/solar model. (Astrolabes are nothing like this, they're basically an astronomical compass... thing.)

Pale Lights Book 2 - Royal Road

This has been on Royal Road for a small day, so I figure it's safe to upload.

Sailing up to Tolomontera.

The moving rings were tricky, but I think I've at least have them working as a functional machine in my head.

More fantastic orreries. These aren't as wide-proportioned as the other images. These were meant for use as desktop images on my PC.

Perhaps fewer than two dozen of these orrery clocks were produced, and it’s estimated that only four had music boxes. Just how many survive is not known. It was made by Raingo Freres of Paris, circa 1830. It had two movements; one controls the clock and rate of rotation of the orrery, and the other controls the orrery and four-year leap-year dial.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tellurion

A tellurion (also spelled tellurian, tellurium, and yet another name is loxocosm), is a clock, typically of French or Swiss origin, surmounted by a mechanism that depicts how day, night, and the seasons are caused by the rotation and orientation of Earth on its axis and its orbit around the Sun. The clock normally also displays the age of the Moon and the four-year (perpetual) calendar.

Astronomy Inspired Design in Media: Part 10

Pitch Black (2000)

Happy (almost) Halloween! 🦇

What is Halloween without a suitably wonderful and cheesy horror movie? Today, let’s explore the very strange and beautiful astronomical device they use in the movie: an orrery

An orrery is mechanical model to display how the solar system predictably changes over time. With this mechanical device, an observer can predict the position of the planets relative to one another and roughly estimate events like alignments

In this movie, the character crowd around the model to show how the solar system’s two suns will form an eclipse in the near future

While an orrery is not an uncommon prop in tv and movies for its beauty, it is oddly rare to see one for a totally different solar system, particularly one with two suns
