Greek Mythology: Hades visiting Persephone in Spring
There is a war for your heart between the world above and I. A war I cannot win. This is why I visit you in Spring, Persephone. Two seasons with you in our Underworld is but a mortal breath. - Hades
This colourful bubble is a planetary nebula called NGC 6818, also known as the Little Gem Nebula. It is located in the constellation of Sagittarius (The Archer), roughly 6000 light-years away from us. The rich glow of the cloud is just over half a light-year across — humongous compared to its tiny central star — but still a little gem on a cosmic scale.
When stars like the Sun enter retirement, they shed their outer layers into space to create glowing clouds of gas called planetary nebulae. This ejection of mass is uneven, and planetary nebulae can have very complex shapes. NGC 6818 shows knotty filament-like structures and distinct layers of material, with a bright and enclosed central bubble surrounded by a larger, more diffuse cloud.
Scientists believe that the stellar wind from the central star propels the outflowing material, sculpting the elongated shape of NGC 6818. As this fast wind smashes through the slower-moving cloud it creates particularly bright blowouts at the bubble’s outer layers.
AHHH,I’m super happy and honoured to be featured on Supersonic Art again. I’ve been following this site since college and they’ve always had amazing artists on the platform. Thank you so much,Zach for the feature.
Last night I had a dream that there was a storm on my way home, and near my house the clouds looked like the surface of Jupiter. These are quick Photoshopped images but they’re pretty close to what I remember.

Loch Ness Monster ‘Might’ Be Real, According To New Scientific Study
Researchers analyzing the biodiversity of Loch Ness are unable to rule out the existence of the Loch Ness Monster. After taking DNA samples from the lake’s many water-dwelling creatures, scientists could not conclude that the elusive monster is purely mythical.
