Planeta Simius.

Again, with two versions, this time with a little planet style (man, such a lengthy process to do everything in two!).
The first one is one shot at f/8 and the second one is the f/2.8 version - and I do absolutely like the second one for its saturation and color blend (for some reason, I couldn't produce such a blend in the first one). Both of them, however, do suffer form that flare of street lights (specially above the monkey's head).
The problem with these lights (specifically the ones that appear above the monkey) is that they were so high and in the background. To make them disappear from the scene I'd have to be so close to the wall (the monkey) to some distance that would actually ruin the looks in general; beside the fact that the ground was somewhat uneven and not very suitable to stabilize a heavy tripod. In fact, the tripod did move a bit as I was working for 2 hours, and that produces some problems that I had to work on later.

How Big Is the Sun Compared to Earth?

Although #Mercury was geologically active in its early days, today its surface appears almost completely static.

This is why it is often perceived as a dead and dry #planet.

Now scientists have discovered a large number of bright streaks, also known as "lineae", on Mercury, which are presumably caused by the outgassing of volatile material from the planet's interior.

This indicates that Mercury is not a dead planet, as previously assumed, but might in fact be geologically active.

"
Streifen auf dem Merkur zeigen: Merkur ist kein «toter Planet»
"
".. grosse Anzahl von hellen Streifen, sogenannte «Lineae» .. vermutlich durch das Ausgasen von flüchtigen Stoffen aus dem Innern des Planeten entstehen. .. deutet darauf hin, dass Merkur .. geologisch durchaus aktiv sein könnte. .."

A systematic analysis has identified approximately 400 bright slope streaks, or "lineae," on , indicating the is currently geologically active through the outgassing of subsurface volatiles.

New #Hubble images may solve the case of a disappearing exoplanet
A fading dust cloud hints that the once-seen #exoplanet #FomalhautB was never a #planet
“What’s cool about this paper is that for the first time ever we are seeing one of these disks change over time,” says #astrophysicist Tim Pearce. That’s unusual in the field of protoplanetary disks, where scientists usually observe structures that “basically look the same for a human lifetime.”
