Interior Portrait
You don't survive in me
because of memories;
nor are you mine because
of a lovely longing's strength.
What does make you present
is the ardent detour
that a slow tenderness
traces in my blood.
I do not need
to see you appear;
being born sufficed for me
to lose you a little less.
Translated by A. Poulin
Rainer Maria Rilke

I have been obsessed with cones this week - more on my photostream if you want to check out some variations
I drew this on a red-eye flight while I was bored. I made it with a pilot pen, and added some values with a water brush pen after we landed.

On December 21st during the daylight hours Jupiter and Saturn passed each other in the sky. I will never see the two planets closer to each other than I did just after sunset on the 21st. The quality of the sky was not as good as it was 24 hours ago (See: www.flickr.com/photos/dragonflyhunter/50743411231/in/date...), so I was only able to get the moon Titan in the Saturn System (to the upper right of the planet) and the four moons of Jupiter, Europe to the right and Ganymede, Io and Callisto to the left.
The 7.4 magnitude star that was between Ganymede and Callisto, in my drawing yesterday, was out of my field-of-view in the 4:00 o’clock position (not shown). Of course, it was the two planets that had moved and not the background star.

The star Zeta Persei is about as massive as stars become. With 15 times the mass of our sun and 27 times as large, this supergiant star shines as bright as 47,000 suns. Even at the monstrous distance of 750 light years it still shines bright enough to be easily seen without optical aid from my suburban backyard.
One of the two companion stars that make up the Zeta Persei system can also be seen through the refractor. The other one is just too close to the primary star for me to see. The doable companion star is at 8 o’clock of the primary star in the drawing. It also used to be thought that the pair of stars underneath Zeta Persei (in the drawing) were also part of the Zeta Persei system, but they have turned out not to be associated with the supergiant star.

One of my early experiments with drawing with pins. I might try making some more of these with some colour over the pinholes to highlight them a bit.
