🪐 Some of the most striking worlds in our solar system are not planets at all. They are moons shaped by ice, fire, and oceans hidden in the dark, each carrying a quiet record of how complex a small world can become.

Even the smallest light can widen the sky.

An art commission I got from https://www.furaffinity.net/user/saf - this one is from the backstory of my ESO khajiit necromancer Zhakarii.

After an encounter with an Oblivion portal to Namiira's realm in the Reach, she was falling to the Bent Dance and transforming into a dro-m'athra. As a last resort to save herself, she improvised a ritual using psijiic and necromantic magics to stop it, using necromantic magics to protect her soul and psijiic techniques to fortify her body, with the whole thing empowered by the gaze of Jone and Jode at their fullest. For the final component, she etched herself with protective magical psijiic tattoos meant to stabilize her very existence, as well as to ward off Namiira and the drums of Lorkhaj.

Through the power of the Enantiomorph, the Fifth Walking Way of the psijiics, it worked! Though it didn't reverse what had already been done, it did stop it mid-process, and blocked out any further influence from the Great Dark Behind the World. The power of one of the Walking Ways was enough, but it blinded the moons to any further repeats of this process, preventing such a trick from ever being used again.

End result is she remained mostly herself, but with the ability to wield shadow magic and dro-m'athra soulfire. She also gained the ability to use the lunar lattice to travel between places of power, as well as resurrect herself much like the rumored Vestige that fought Molag Bal(since she isn't my canon Vestige).

Might seem out of season, but who wouldn't want to be floating above the surface of one strange new world, and looking beyond it to the next one...a universe that's just a bit better than our own...

Painted by yours truly, "Fly me to the harvest moons".

🛰️ New paper by Knowles et al.: Using the #JWST, the authors observed rapid variability in the auroral footprints of #Jupiter’s #moons in Jupiter’s #atmosphere.

IR observations show that the footprints of moons like #Io can change on short timescales, highlighting the dynamic interaction between Jupiter’s #magnetosphere and its satellites. The moon–magnetosphere coupling driving Jupiter’s #aurora is more variable than previously assumed.

Five moons in our solar system are bigger than the planet Mercury. This is more than the number of moons for planets like Mars, which has only two.
