Description
For five years I'm working for All About Space magazine. I somehow haven't shared anything here yet... so here we go. This image is the cover for Issue 88 and it's supposed to show what happened to early Uranus.

"No Not My Anus!!!!" Sorry I had to. Looks really amazing. Makes you wonder if there was anything alive on early Uranus at that point before it all went boom.

βThe Devilβs Butt Plugβ shall be its unofficial retroactive name.

Must be a 'pain in the ass' to live on a planet with that sort of retroactive name haha

I mean the colliding planet, like how the one that impacted the earth to make the moon is called βnemesisβ.

I heard of that one. That one sounds like a badass lol. I'm thinking the big guy from resident evil now

I love the scale of the event that is excellently depicted. The flare of the impacting body and the ripple of the atmosphere. The power of this impact is incalculable to me and would be awe inspiring.

Should tag this NSFW
Anyway, I like the ripple of from the impact! and the cracks in the rocky body

So many jokes could be made about this.
However, I will just say amazing piece. Lovely colours and details. Very cool.

Bad suppository jokes mostly.

You know.... seeing this suddenly makes wonder about one thing.
If a space object collided with Uranus and caused its axis to tilt like that, what actually stopped it from continuously spinning, as in what finally stopped its axis from tilting further? Gravity from its siblings? Some kind of fluid inertia (due to it being a gas planet)? Another collision? Or perhaps we haven't observed it long enough and the axis is currently still turning?

well maybe it was spinning for long time (and maybe still is)... but just slowed down. we're observing space for thousands of years and Uranus was discovered in 1781. that's like nothing compared to the age of the universe and our solar system.

True. And not to mention that when we discovered Uranus back in 18th century, there was no space probe, so there was no telling how tilted it was when they found out about the planet.

Powerful intensity in his image, stunning creation Tobias ................Β

Now THAT is a unique impact scene. The way the gas "ripples" around the outer edge of the impact is so well done I can easily imagine how this would move if animated. I can't help but wonder though that that's a big-ass rocky planet however. But maybe Uranus was smaller before the impact added extra material to it. It's cool how heavenly this still looks thanks to Uranus's colour scheme and light airy nature.

it's somewhat based on that simulation: icc.dur.ac.uk/giant_impacts/urβ¦

That looked messy. I wonder what the "cloud" of matter would have looked like when it was all blown out like that. Probably like a mini but really dense nebula I bet. Hard to imagine it was a planet.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah crazy...but maybe that theory is shit and something different happened
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah it strikes me as far-fetched. Could be as simple as the cloud of gas and debris was spinning a different way (maybe interrupted by something else passing by) and it coalesced into whatever direction it was spinning in. Though it won't explain why the planet spins sideways but the magnetic field is more upright

The size of that planet... Good Lord! Earth would be the moon to that rock's Earth.

Oddly satisfying, like throwing a rock at a lake.

No...noooo....nooo....I will NOT make an immature joke about the title....no no no no......

Right into Uranus!

Even not if it was a very deep impact?

Hmmm that's interesting. Didn't know something had crashed into Uranus. However, why does it have rings then? If there was a crash, I would have expected that the rings are a leftover precisely from that impact.
Other than that, great depiction. I like how fluid Uranus feels and the swirly clouds around the impact site.
π: 0 β©: 2
Because the magazine's editors wanted rings
π: 0 β©: 1
It did have ring from leftover material before impact "I think"
π: 0 β©: 1
Leftover from what? And the artist actually answered.

Damn, very cool! I love the scale of the two planets colliding--I feel so small!
