Description
Whilst many nebulae may look calm to the observer, they are, in fact, either the progeny of something violent or they are about to undergo a drastic change. In a gradual course of events, they get slowly torn apart while orbiting their center. Fragment by fragment, particle by particle, they dissolve into blurry shapes. Ghosts. And even those will eventually vanish.More practicing of nebula-painting. Slowly getting the hang of it. Inspiration for this piece struck me while I was programming a little simulation that displays objects orbiting each other. Made the masses variable and starting-parameters for position and velocity-vector can be adjusted as well. It illustrates quite nicely the concept of planetary and comet-orbits, and gravitational slingshots
Also, wallpaper-pack-alert!
Available sizes:
4:3 -- 1600x1200 16:9 -- 1920x1080 16:10 -- 1920x1200If you have a smaller screen, the wallpaper should auto-shrink itself
Comment, fav, enjoy!

Haunted by that which always haunts without haunting that which cannot be haunted.
...
Anyway, it looks as awesome as usual.

Nice. The flow pattern seems maybe too irregular in the upper left, the planet doesn't seem massive enough to disrupt it that much, although you did make it rather large. You did a great job giving dimension to the nebula by your coloration of the gases around the core. I like this piece, your work is getting a more realistic feel each time.

Thank you!
The planet is more or less the obligatory accompaniment to nebulae. It felt a little empty without it, so that's why it's there in first place. It's not intended in any way to have such a staggering density that the nebula itself would get influenced significantly

Aesthetics, right. Sometimes I forget it's art we're discussing here.

My bad, this was a little far-fetched anyways
