That .gif i posted yesterday was baad, recompiled ffmpeg with h264 support today and cranked up the perlin #noise resolution on my #planetoid #SDF.

Welcome to our solar system, Ammonite!

I imagine many of you have already heard this but just in case you might think I need to be notified by email or social media, yes, I know. And, yes, it’s very cool!

The Subaru telescope located at the Mauna Kea Observatory on Hawai’i has “found a new world within our Solar System,” affectionately (I hope) nicknamed ‘Ammonite‘ (more officially listed as ‘2023 KQ14’) by the team who spotted it. While they call it a ‘world’, it’s not a planet; technically, Ammonite is a sednoid, that is, a trans-Neptunian object with a large, semi-major axis and highly-eccentric orbit. And this one is pretty eccentric, with its perihelion between 50 and 75 AU and aphelion about 252 AU.1

I’m guessing this tiny new world (its diameter is calculated at somewhere between 220 and 380 kilometers) was dubbed Ammonite because, well, what else are you going to call a rock discovered by the FOSSIL (Formation of the Outer Solar System: An Icy Legacy) project? But I think it’s an excellent name, and will amuse myself by believing in my heart of hearts that really it’s named in honour of a certain novel. After all, NASA/JPL have already named a crater on Europa ‘Uaithne’…

Fir the geeks among us, there’s lots more info in this Nature article.

1. One AU (astronomical unit) is the distance between the earth and sun ↩︎

Between Mars and Jupiter are numerous #asteroids, including Vista, the second largest, which the #Dawn probe “visited” some fifteen years ago.

Dawn's Doppler tracking via the Deep Space Network and onboard imaging data have enabled us to estimate the moment of inertia of the #planetoid and deduce its “weak” internal stratification: a crust composed of magmatic rocks surrounds the mantle, which surmounts a small central core. But how did it form?

Finished a painting tonight! Presenting “Ice Cliffs of Pluto”, 7x10”, watercolor on cotton.

I’ve been bogged down in a larger piece I’m working on, so it was delightful to immerse myself in something more textural and abstract. (I’m getting my toothbrush spatter technique down lol.)

I am having SO MUCH FUN with these icy features of Pluto! This should come together in a few more sessions. 😍

Here’s tonight’s progress on my #watercolor #Pluto ice landscape. Having fun with the abstraction of this piece. I’ll go back in and add the crisp details tomorrow. I love how chaotic and alien the reference photo is—extraterrestrial geomorphology at its best!

Heute kommt uns wieder mal ein #Planetoid "etwas" näher. Es ist Planetoid 7482 . Aber es bleibt noch genügend Platz zwischen ihm und der Erde. Uns trennen immer noch 1,981548 Mill. km. 1/2

Zwischen 1900 und 2500 kommt uns #Planetoid 136795 nur 2x näher als 7 Mill. km. Das erste mal ist es heute und dann noch einmal am 21.5.2244 mit 6,452471 Mill. km Entfernung.

Ich habe mal bischen gerechnet und geschaut, wie oft kam/kommt uns #Planetoid 136795 näher als 7 Mill.km in der Zeit zwischen 1900 und 2500 .

Heute kommt uns wieder mal ein #Planetoid nah. (aus astronomischer Sicht) Es ist der Planetoid 136795, der um 23:43 MESZ in 6,156592 Mill. km Entfernung an der #Erde vorbeifliegt.

Bis 2500 gibt es auch keine engere Passage von #Planetoid (388945) mit der #Erde. Am nächsten kommt er uns noch am 10.5. 2165 (wieder ein 10.5. !!!) mit 3,038 Mill. km.

#Planetoid (388945) kommt heute in extreme Erdnähe. Um 16:16 MESZ trennen uns von ihm nur 2,79329 Mill. km

#Planetoid (438908) 2009XO kommt heute um 14:18 MESZ in extreme Erdnähe. Er ist dann nur 3,393574 Mill. km entfernt.
