I’m confused about what exactly the ring is in the image or the main image at least. There seems to be an enhanced image in the article that highlights the ring more clearly as an outer edge, which makes sense (I suppose).
But I don’t understand what I’m to make of the top image. It’s the diffuse light part of the ring?
Oh yea I’ve used it and from memory it’s awesome as you say. I was more talking about getting into the technical details of running a model and calculating various things of personal interest.
Me too! Always wanted to get into, thinking it worthwhile to have a running solar system or celestial model on your own machine that you know how to operate etc. Just never really tried sadly!
It’s wonderful to see how even at this scale there’s still that fractal-ish, dense and chaotic, but elegant and beautiful aesthetic that nature creates.
