I've heard about planet WASP-76b showing hints of optical phenomenon called Glory. It looks like iridescent rings caused by liquid droplets in clouds. In this case the liquid droplets are made out of molten metal in the clouds of this hot Jupiter planet. #SciArt #spaceart #astronomy #Exoplanets

I have been neglecting Uranus system for a long time now. So I decided to change that. Here's Uranus and Miranda visible above the canyons of Ariel. #SciArt #spaceart #astronomy #solarsystem #Uranus

Just a quick painting of Máni. A trans-Neptunian object. Recent occultation observations hint that Máni might have a massive impact crater and a very tall mountain that I interpreted as a central peak in this impact crater. #SciArt #spaceart #astronomy #solarsystem

Two Jovian moons Io and Europa eclipses the sun darkening Jupiter's sky. Volcanic plumes and sulfur halo can be seen around Io and water ice jets are erupting from Europa's crust. Also Jupiter's rings, solar corona and zodiacal light also glows in this darkened sky #SciArt #spaceart #Jupiter

I've read about ZTF SLRN-2020 event where a star basically ate it's own planet. So I decided to try and depict this from a planet's perspective. It's atmosphere evaporating and getting ripped away by the star. #SciArt #spaceart #astronomy

Each year near the start of Mars' southern winter warm air rises over Arsia Mons volcano forming ice and dust clouds. Sometimes this dust coalesces into a spiraling cloud that can be over 15 km high. This digital painting depicts one such dust spirals.#Sciart #space #astronomy #SolarSystem #Mars

J1407b also known as a Super-Saturn. Possibly a brown dwarf with a massive ring system with planets forming in it. Now, latest updates on this object suggest that it is not tied to any star and most likely is not illuminated like this. But who knows, maybe somewhere there is a system like this.

My interpretation of a Hot Jupiter planet. I looked up some info on Hot Jupiter atmospheric dynamics and this is my best guess what this type of a planet might look like. #Sciart #space #illustration #astronomy #Exoplanets

Jupiter's powerful lightning storms most likely generate lots of transient luminous events. In this scene, during the early morning hour, as the rising sun lights up the top of a massive thunderstorm a lightning strike generates a gigantic jet, shooting high up in the atmosphere.

I did a little bit more research on Jupiter's transient luminous events. This is my attempt to portray one of these events. So, here it is, Jupiter sprites. #Sciart #space #illustration #astronomy #Jupiter

#Jupiter's closest moon Metis emerges from the planet's shadow. Rings as well as two Jovian moons can be seen. Io with it's volcanic plumes, sulfur halo and aurora. Europa with hypothesized water ice geysers erupting from it's polar region. Bright blue star in the background is Earth. #astronomy

I am fascinated by a theory of tiny primordial black holes hitting solar system planets and moons, going through them as if they are barely there. This is my interpretation of such black hole piercing through our moon and emerging on the other side, leaving a small, unusual crater. #space #astronomy

Moon was much closer to Earth during Archean eon. It might even had an atmosphere. Which it was rapidly losing, getting it blasted off of a surface by a solar wind. It might have looked like a tail of a comet. #Sciart #Moon #illustration #astronomy

Although I consider myself as a space artist there was a time in my life when I was very close to becoming a paleoartist instead. In the end space won me over. Anyway, I had this image in my head of a T. rex in a forest. So here's my first paleoart attempt. T. rex in moonlight. #dinosaurs #paleoart

Just moved here. I will start uploading my paintings here. New and old. Starting with this resent one.
A ringed gas giant planet and it's family of moons. One moon is Earth-like habitable world.
