Tøp as planets!!

Hello, and welcome to @twenty-one-planets!!

Basically, I’m just taking pictures of twenty one separate pilots and pairing them with pictures of planets.

Except that about nineteen of those pilots are missing… oopsies.

Also expect facts because I’m a bit of a space nerd :D

sorry it’s been a few days!! I’ve been pretty busy lol

anywayssssssss this picture of Tyler as 51 Eridani b, a Jupiter-like planet about a hundred light years from us!!

This picture is an artist’s render because we don’t have good pictures of it. It’s only about 20 million years old—so pretty much a baby planet, compared to planets like Earth and Jupiter (around 4.5 billion years old)!!

This isn’t a post about a specific picture but thank you guys for caring about this blog, i needed motivation to study something that makes me happy again (astronomy) ^^

have a grainy picture of everybody’s favorite ball of dirt and ice, the Dwarf Planet Pluto.

despite how tiny it is—about half the width of the United States—it has five known moons, one of which is half the size of the object itself!!

Pluto was named by an eleven-year-old girl named Venetia Burney in 1930, who suggested that her grandfather send that in as a name idea :D

This one was a request from a friend of mine who does Not happen to use tumblr LMAO—i shall be sending it to him.

This is the Lobster Nebula (NGC 6357) in an image captured by the Dark Energy Camera at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. It showcases the forming of hundreds of young stars!!

This image isn’t exactly what the nebula would look like to the human eye, however—it was captured using specialty filters created to isolate specific wavelengths of light.

This nebula is about 8000 light years away, in the direction of the Scorpius constellation.

The camera used to capture this image is one of the best on earth—and the first (and biggest) of its lenses is the second largest optical corrector component in use in astronomy!!

hi this is so cool!!! what do you think mickey tshirt tyler is ?

This is an artistic rendering of planet K2-18b, a planet about two and a half times the size of earth! It’s mostly covered in water, and possible signs of life have been detected—although it’s still unknown whether or not that was a fluke.

It’s considered a prime canidate for habitability someday, and is located around 124 light years away from us!!

Hi can you do this one please..

If we’re going by the colors in his vest, this picture of the Crab Nebula (also known as Messier 1) would fit!

This nebula, located in the constellation Tarus, is the remnants of a supernova that was observed by astronomers back in 1504 CE (or AD). It was bright enough, then, to be observed without a telescope—but has since dimmed.

Nebulas are sometimes called “star nurseries” because the materials within them are perfect for creating new stars!! It’s interesting to think about the fact that new stars made in nebulas have remnants of older stars within :D

spacify him :3

This photo of Jupiter, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2017!!

This picture shows Jupiter in near-ultraviolet light—which is part of the reason it looks so different to how we normally see it depicted!!
