Jupiter's moon Callisto
Finally someone actually noticed!!¡¡ 😊 It's because all my earth science diagrams are actually meant to be miniatures hence the short focal lengths, wide apertures, & iOS7-style scattering effects. Idk if I got the falloffs right though—I'm not sure how circles blur with bokeh so I just used a gaussian filter. I've never had to do point bokeh so it's not that obviouss—Love, Kelvinsong talk 23:00, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've actually noticed it all the while, including in the other diagrams. And I like it, as it lets us know which planet the moon belongs to, and gives the effect of viewing the moon from space. Btw Kelvinsong, is it possible for you to create similar diagrams for the planets and dwarf planet (Pluto)? (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 02:01, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ofc!! I'll probably do Jupiter first then Saturn & the terrestrial planets. && Thanks everyone for all the support!!!¡ ☺—Love, Kelvinsong talk 21:03, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oh stahp it's literally just a 8.0 gaussian blur on jupiterr!. Moved the title (though personally I think it's better to have the title superimposed on it to make it clear that Jupiter is in the background). && I wish I had the patience to do all of them & nominate them as a set but the promotion of each one motivates me to do the next one ;). Also I didn't really want to invest so much effort if there was a chance they wouldn't be very well recieved bc a lot of large projects I drew before wound up getting ignored in FPC so I don't do those anymore.—Love, Kelvinsong talk 20:00, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. Bask in the sunshine of your efforts :-) Saffron Blaze (talk) 20:06, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thankss! && I don't think you actually voted yet.. :)—Love, Kelvinsong talk 20:19, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question How could we be sure that this design shows the truth ? Is Callisto's interior really like that ? In other words: are these diagrams "scientific" ? Thanks.--Jebulon (talk) 23:28, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Jebulon Good question & not really one I can answer. Usually I just draw what the sources specify & if the scientists are wrong you can't really blame me. I use 3D projection software & draw these things with neurotic precision because I'm like OCD with this so you certainetely don't have anything to worry about on my end. Really I don't think it's even possible to be wrong with subjects like this cause from what I read not even the lab coats know what's inside the Jupiter moons. It mostly consists of all the scientists making their own guesses about the moon structure and each guess is different. Sometimes the scientists even contradict themselves (along the lines of "wtf eight pages ago you said Callisto had Ice III inside it & now it turned into Ice V??"). If I tried to average the numbers or cover every possibility there would probably not actually be any Callisto diagram to vote on here. Really the only way to do this is to just pick one source that's fairly recent & comprehensive enough & go with it. Ig if a PhD publication can't be trusted then I don't even know what can then.—Love, Kelvinsong talk 20:15, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much Kelvinsong for complete answer. I'm fully ignorant about astronomy. I don't want to "blame" anybody, and especially not scientists ! It was just a series of questions, and I think they are not illegitime in this case. Your kind answer is sufficient for me. "Love" too, --Jebulon (talk) 22:53, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
