Nano! The One In A Million First Moldovan Satellite 🛰️

'Swap AU' proposal

is this too late for her chiptober day (yes it is)

A lot on the mind...

Off to catch a date with the sun!

Speeding through at over 500 times the speed of sound, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe flew through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – on December 14th, where it sampled it’s particles and magnetic fields. Going where no probe has gone before.

artfight attack for @robinwaaaaa! so glad i finally got to draw her

See the Universe in a New Way with the Webb Space Telescope's First Images

Are you ready to see unprecedented, detailed views of the universe from the James Webb Space Telescope, the largest and most powerful space observatory ever made? Scroll down to see the first full-color images and data from Webb. Unfold the universe with us. ✨

Carina Nebula

This landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” speckled with glittering stars, called the Cosmic Cliffs, is the edge of the star-birthing Carina Nebula. Usually, the early phases of star formation are difficult to capture, but Webb can peer through cosmic dust—thanks to its extreme sensitivity, spatial resolution, and imaging capability. Protostellar jets clearly shoot out from some of these young stars in this new image.

Southern Ring Nebula

The Southern Ring Nebula is a planetary nebula: it’s an expanding cloud of gas and dust surrounding a dying star. In this new image, the nebula’s second, dimmer star is brought into full view, as well as the gas and dust it’s throwing out around it. (The brighter star is in its own stage of stellar evolution and will probably eject its own planetary nebula in the future.) These kinds of details will help us better understand how stars evolve and transform their environments. Finally, you might notice points of light in the background. Those aren’t stars—they’re distant galaxies.

Stephan’s Quintet

Stephan’s Quintet, a visual grouping of five galaxies near each other, was discovered in 1877 and is best known for being prominently featured in the holiday classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” This new image brings the galaxy group from the silver screen to your screen in an enormous mosaic that is Webb’s largest image to date. The mosaic covers about one-fifth of the Moon’s diameter; it contains over 150 million pixels and is constructed from almost 1,000 separate image files. Never-before-seen details are on display: sparkling clusters of millions of young stars, fresh star births, sweeping tails of gas, dust and stars, and huge shock waves paint a dramatic picture of galactic interactions.

WASP-96 b

WASP-96 b is a giant, mostly gas planet outside our solar system, discovered in 2014. Webb’s Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) measured light from the WASP-96 system as the planet moved across the star. The light curve confirmed previous observations, but the transmission spectrum revealed new properties of the planet: an unambiguous signature of water, indications of haze, and evidence of clouds in the atmosphere. This discovery marks a giant leap forward in the quest to find potentially habitable planets beyond Earth.

Webb's First Deep Field

This image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, known as Webb’s First Deep Field, looks 4.6 billion years into the past. Looking at infrared wavelengths beyond Hubble’s deepest fields, Webb’s sharp near-infrared view reveals thousands of galaxies—including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared—in the most detailed view of the early universe to date. We can now see tiny, faint structures we’ve never seen before, like star clusters and diffuse features and soon, we’ll begin to learn more about the galaxies’ masses, ages, histories, and compositions.

These images and data are just the beginning of what the observatory will find. It will study every phase in the history of our Universe, ranging from the first luminous glows after the Big Bang, to the formation of solar systems capable of supporting life on planets like Earth, to the evolution of our own Solar System.

✨COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN!! ✨

I'm looking to make commissions a main source of income if possible so any help is greatly appreciated!!

Options include: my custom character designs! Not restricted to furries, that's just the examples I have :)

[The first image is examples of the singular character custom, priced at $20. The second is examples of my front and back reference sheets, priced at $30.]

And second, my standard commissions in three different flavors!

[The first image shows examples of style 1 illustrations, which are plain flat colors, priced at $20. The second is style 2, which is more detailed but not quite fully rendered, priced at $40. The third is the full illustrations, which are fully shaded and rendered, priced at $50.]

I will do:

- humans, furries, creatures, robots, ocs, blood and gore, most things! If you have a question then feel free to ask!

I will NOT do:

- sexual content, freak shit (p/dophilia, inc/st, dd/lg, etc), complex mecha, cars

I have the right to refuse a commission if I'm not comfortable doing it.

As always, DM me either here or on Twitter, or email me at chesheru@/gmail.com if you're interested! I appreciate you all!! :)))

Hey out of curiosity, have you ever considered recording your drawing process/making a speedpaint?, I really love your art and I have always been curious as to what your process is like. and your recent heavypaint paintings have rekindled this curiosity of mine!. Btw sorry for this long ask.

Thank you so much for the question (and compliment)! Why yes! I've never gone through with it in the past out of fear of my computer going up in flames upon rendering literal hours-long footage. However, HP actually has a timelapse function built in which made things a hell of a lot easier!

So here it is, the overdue robinwaaaaa dot tumblr dot com speedpaint... The sick beats were obligatory:
