  4. Allez je lance #RingsOfSaturn pour tester. Voir le logo #Godot au lancement me donne déjà envie de le classer comme excellent jeu. Ça fait du bien de me dire que mes données de jeu ne partiront pas chez Unity.

  5. Remembering #MaxSebald / #WGSebald and the journeys he'd take me with in his peculiar writings.
    #RingsOfSaturn was the first of his books I went along with.

    Thinking it'd be good to free some books from their packing boxes and get them shelved again.

  6. I tried ΔV: Rings of Saturn and ... I don't get it. There's brief tutorial on the controls, but when I'm told to return to the station ... what station? Where? Also, what am I trying to do? Do I just wander around this isotropic space collecting rocks? There seems to be a distinct lack of feedback on what I'm supposed to be doing and whether I'm succeeding.

    The Steam reviews are Very Positive, so I must be missing something.

  7. When playing the game ΔV: #RingsOfSaturn I occasionally look up stuff on Wikipedia. Like, what is this "Keeler Gap"...

    Here is a (stretched) photo of it, with Daphnis inside. Turns out rings are interesting and beautiful.

  8. The rings tower high over the midnight horizon with Saturn's shadow cast over them. A bit of artwork I made for @badastro last week.

    This image combines Cassini imagery of Titan, Enceladus, and the Rings with a NASA star map, and a picture of overcast clouds I took from and airplane a few years ago. The rings were rerendered for the atmospheric perspective and the shadow.

  9. An oblique view of Saturn looking over the ring shadows on towards an almost Earthly blue upper atmosphere. The varying thicknesses of the rings are apparent in the shadows of differing darknesses.

  10. Saturn's rings in natural color during equinox. Processed using images taken by NASA's Cassini orbiter on August 31 2009. The rings are facing the Sun edge-on and appear dark as a result.

  11. In 1656, Christiaan Huygens was the first to observe that Saturn had rings. In 1855, James Clerk Maxwell proved that they were composed of millions of tiny orbiting particles. #Science #History #Poetry #Astronomy #Saturn #RingsofSaturn #Galileo #Maxwell #Huygens (sharpgiving.com/thebookofscien)

  12. #KoderaSoftware is being extra #wholesome: Their #RingsOfSaturn demo is unrestricted during the war in Ukraine as "there are more important causes to support than us right now".

  13. Sometimes, material in Saturn's rings can accrete into tiny moonlets. Generally temporary, these can be a few hundred meters wide and create disturbances in the rings know as 'propellers'.
