Celestial Grandeur Through Kagaya Paintings Options

[noorie]

Some paintings related to celestial bodies and their description by the artist Kagaya.


The Milky Way Galaxy is only one of countless galaxies. Nonetheless, it has one hundred billion stars and our solar system is only a very small part of it, situated on its outskirts.
Numerous stars are being born at various places in the spiral arms of the enormously vast sea.
Every one of them will have a drama of its own life.


This is a baby star swaddled in baby clothes of molecular cloud. He is emitting light of plasma upwards and downwards.


A boy star comes out by blowing the clouds off with energy of nuclear fusion, from which he will gradually get heat and grow up to be a brilliant "adult star".
He is getting old enough to have his planets coming out and moving around him.


A declining old star keeps shining to the full, mildly and quietly, until he exhausts all his fuel at the final stage of his life.
The gas he radiates is recycled into clouds, which will be inherited by his descendant stars someday.


When an old giant red star explodes, it is called a Supernova.
He shines 10 billion times as brightly as the sun. The holy light tells us he is going to close his life.
In the meantime, the supernova is turning back into numerous dusts floating in space.


Unknown planet
Countless billions of stars are born and die in the endless universe.
Somewhere outside of the galaxy, there would be lots of spectacle's only God might see.
When will we be able to see any of them ?


"Black hole" is an area in outer space into which everything near it, including light, is pulled.
The core of an ex-Supernova has such an enormous gravity as to pull even the light toward the center in spiral, so we cannot see it.
Black hole is the remains of Supernova, being different from Pulsar. He shows the other dramatic ending of a big star.


Don't you fancy we can walk on the ring of Saturn ?
The ring is composed of numerous particles of ice and small fragments of stars, which are moving around Saturn.
He looks as if saying, "No, you cannot walk on me", smiling beyond the transparent ring.


In the Kuiperbelt and the Oort cloud far beyond Pluto, there are numerous young comets, which are said to be made of ice or something.
They might be waiting for the chance to go near to the sun to brighten up beautifully in the vast space.


The moon is at the full in the night sky.
Since old times people have been fascinated by the mysterious light and referred to it in songs and stories.
