Now that there's a few more people here, I think that warrants me finally posting here.

I'm Elliot! I'm a big fan of James Bond and Three-Body Problem! Both spy media and hard science-fiction as a whole intrigue me. I have a myriad of other assorted interests as well such as literature!

This week (!) is the 30th anniversary of the announcement of 51 Pegasi b, the first exoplanet found orbiting a star like our Sun - since then, we've found over 6,000!

To celebrate, @alexwitze.bsky.social and @nature.com collected some astronomers' favourite planets:

These alien planets are astronomers’ favourites: here’s why

Space scientists look back on 30 years of exoplanet discoveries — from rows of massive ‘super-Earths‘ to worlds with perfectly synchronized orbits.

Sagittarius B2 is the Milky Way galaxy’s most massive and active star forming cloud, producing half of the stars created in the galactic center region despite having only 10 percent of the area’s star-making material. (1/4) 🧵 🔭 🧪

Dimensional Dance!

A piece of traditional art done in black and blue ink where Zhuo Wen is leading Chu Yan in a dance and the two both appear happy. The background of the piece is black with blue rectangles and there is a white outline around the two. Additionally, there are blue rectangles that intersect with the characters of the piece that reveal internal anatomy. Towards Chu Yan's chest, it reveals his internal organs such as his heart and lungs. Towards his leg, it reveals the muscular anatomy. Towards the arms of the two, it reveals the skeletal layer of their forearms.

🔭 Star Trails over One-Mile Radio Telescope

Image Credit & Copyright: Joao Yordanov Serralheiro

apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25091...

The steerable 60 foot diameter dish antenna of the One-Mile Telescope at Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory, Cambridge, UK, is pointing skyward in this evocative night-skyscape. To capture the dramatic scene, consecutive 30 second exposures were recorded over a period of 90 minutes. Combined, the exposures reveal a background of gracefully arcing star trails that reflect planet Earth's daily rotation on its axis. The North Celestial Pole, the extension of Earth's axis of rotation into space, points near Polaris, the North Star. That's the bright star that creates the short trail near the center of the concentric arcs. But the historic One-Mile Telescope array also relied on planet Earth's rotation to operate. Exploring the universe at radio wavelengths, it was the first radio telescope to use Earth-rotation aperture synthesis. That technique uses the rotation of the Earth to change the relative orientation of the telescope array and celestial radio sources to create radio maps of the sky at a resolution better than that of the human eye.

Personal reference sheets for Blue Space! I wanted to make sure I keep my art of them consistent and have notes to refer to about my personal characterizations.

A reference sheet for Chu Yan from Three Body Problem and there are 3 individual drawings of him.

To the left is a full body drawing of Chu Yan with a signature that reads "Rouge" on his shoulder. He is shown adjusting his glasses.
To the middle is a bust drawing of Chu Yan. There is a label that read "(personal detail) star earrings"
Below a text box to the right is a miniature drawing of Chu Yan with a signal symbol with three circles around him.

The text box reads: "Captain Chu Yan of Blue Space has always been diligent with his duties, being an accomplished military strategist. He's known for his composed manners and cares for everybody beneath his command. Yet. his compassion has an underlying cold strategic element to it. In trying to ensure collective survival and wellbeing, he often makes decisions that challenge human conventions of morality. However, he never fully forsakes the dignity of a soldier in his strategies. Regardless of what one thinks of him, he garners respect for securing humanity's survival under the stars."

A reference sheet for Park Ui-gun from Three Body Problem and there are 3 individual drawings of him.

To the left is a full body drawing of Park Ui-gun with a signature that reads "Rouge" on his shoulder. He is shown waving to the viewer.
To the middle is a bust drawing of Park Ui-gun. There are labels that read "overall looks young" and "earpiece"
Below a text box to the right is a miniature drawing of Park Ui-gun receiving a message through his earpiece.

The text box reads: "Lieutenant Commander Park Ui-gun, head of the marines, has been regarded as a prodigy. He's relatively young, but has endured a number of hardships on Blue Space's journey. The level of pain he can tolerate is immense and he'll continue his goals no matter what. However, he still tries to look towards the future and does his part in establishing unity on both Blue Space and Gravity. Despite his age, Park Ui-gun has also taken up a mentor role for those with less experience as well, following Chu Yan's footsteps. No matter what more has to be faced, Park Ui-gun will always be there by your side to depend on."

A reference sheet for Zhuo Wen from Three Body Problem and there are 3 individual drawings of him.

To the left is a full body drawing of Zhuo Wen with a signature that reads "Rouge" on his shoulder.
To the middle is a bust drawing of Zhuo Wen without a labcoat and goggles. There are labels that read "Round facial features, downturned eyes, beauty mark (to the bottom left of his face)"
Below a text box to the right is a miniature drawing of Zhuo Wen (with his coat open) talking with Chu Yan.

The text box reads: "Lieutenant Zhuo Wen, the science officer of Blue Space, is known for being a deliberate person. His mannerisms are imbued with a subtle intentionality and he tries to make sure every point of his is supported.

Due to the captain's interests in the sciences, Zhuo Wen speaks to Chu Yan quite often. When Zhuo Wen brings up a topic he's researching, Chu Yan chimes in with questions and insights about philosophical implications about of that topic. For instance, 'how might extreme time dilation change our view on time?' Zhuo Wen is at the frontlines of science, looking to answer those questions."

A reference sheet for Akihara Reiko from Three Body Problem and there are 3 individual drawings of her.

To the left is a full body drawing of her with a signature that reads "Rouge" near her head. She is shown with one hand behind her head.
To the middle is a bust drawing of Akihara Reiko. There are labels that read "(personal detail) more brown here" pointed to the bottom of her hair and "I use brown colors to shade."
Below a text box to the right is a miniature drawing of Akihara Reiko surrounded by holograms and she is shown interacting with them.

The text box reads: "Sublieutenant Akihara Reiko, a navigator of Blue Space, has led the way forward by virtue of her role and by her way of thinking. While she keeps the destination in mind, she also always accounts for extra factors during the journey. Her insights have kept Blue Space safe on its path. She also provides a sense of spiritual and emotional direction through her bright smiles and considerations.

She's appreciated by Chu Yan those around her for helping orient everybody towards the future. With Akihara Reiko, you can always be assured that you'll reach your destination.
