Clouds of the City

I just discovered the beauty of ginger tea today :D tastes and smells pretty good. Normally, I'm just a milk/sugar tea person, plopping in 2 teaspoons of sugar and gulping it down. Bit it seems like I will have to start experimenting more.

And I made potato chips last night! Chef in the making :P

Here is an amazing piece, Han by *JonasDeRo

The mood is lovely. As I've said many times before, I love cities! And there's nothing better to add to that than a beautiful tinge of orange from the sunset :D
Wish I could be there right now, strolling the streets with someone special :)

Have you ever watched clouds move through the sky? So gentle and peaceful - one day, I'll have to gather around my friends, lay down in a field and watch the clouds ^_^ Maybe watch the stars too, the beautiful earrings that the sky wears when the cheeky Sun isn't watching XD

I never knew it was possible to see parts of the Milky Way from Earth, guess I'm a pure city-person. But if you Google it up, you can find plenty of pretty Milky Way pictures from Hawaii, and other fortunate places

Speaking of pretty skies...

 That sky in black bird by beyzayildirim77 is just perfect! The type of scenery that I'd love to see every night. The way the foreground is ominously black brings out the nebulas wonderfully; for me, the size and orientation of the bird, as well as colour, brings it out as the focal point of the image, even though it seems insignificant. Wonderful hues of red and orange, love it.

That bird is a really early bird :D

Crazy me had a dream about the Sun going suprenova! But, of course, the Sun is too small to go supernova, you all tell me. Yes, but I'm crazy ^_^

I was wandering the streets at night, and I see a small flash. Then another, much brighter flash. And another brighter flash. I close my eyes, but the final flash is so bright, I can see it through closed eyes!

But, of course, somehow, everything is fine that next day, after I wake up (in my dream-self of course!) and the dream continues on some random tangent, as all dreams do. You could argue "Silly DisaFear, it wasn't a supernova then, it was just some satellite asploding in the atmosphere!" but in a dream, you usually know what's going on, even if you don't know why, and I somehow knew it was a supernova!

Anyways.

A supernova, if you are wondering, is the explosion a massive star, a star that is probably 8 times or more massive than the Sun. (the line is very fine between intermediate mass stars and high mass stars)

Why does it explode?

As fusion proceeds in the star, iron accumulates in the core of the star. Iron cannot provide fusion energy. So it accumulates. And accumulates. And accumulates.

And then, suddenly, the degeneracy pressure in the core can't support it! Core collapses! Boom! Explosion occurs, leaving behind a neutron star

Something like this?

Supernova by karimfakhoury is a perfect artists example of a supernova. Explosion, check. Awesome lighting and colours, check. Chaotic, check! Debris, check. Random man getting owned, check! The amount of detail in that piece is magnificent, there's so much to take in.

But...a neutron star is not always how it ends...there is a much more evil force in the Universe...

*enter stage left, black hole*

If that extremely-extremely-dense neutron star accumulates some more mass, then the neutron degeneracy pressure can't hold it! It collapses, collapses, collapses, collapses, into a thing whose gravity is so strong that not even light can escape it!

Black Heart, Black hole by shadeforfiend shows one of those evil creatures in action. I really love the colour range on that accretion disk. Hey, black holes can be cute too :3

Until next time! Don't fall into a black hole, however interesting they are!

Adopted Sun in the Winter Storm

Finally, some sun shows up to greet the winter-laden Melbourne!
Without further ado, let me introduce Waterfall Castle Matte art by fstarno

 

The amount of detail in this piece is breath-taking, not to mention the concept of the image itself, having a castle in such a precarious place. Someone is that castle would be provided with an excellent view XD The lighting and environment casts a sort of majestic feeling, the shadows of the bridge on the water precise, the tones of the sky perfect.

Browsing other peoples works is such a good motivator for one to strive for perfection.

In other news...there is no other news!

Until next time!
