Video Narrative. K.O.I. 55c / KEPLER 70c
What you are now seeing is the exoplanet Kepler 70c - it was formerly called K.O.I. 55c.
Kepler 70c and its' brother planet, Kepler 70b, are two silent survivors and evidence of the brutality of the cosmos. Somewhere around 18 million years ago, these two planets were probably a pair of gas giants orbiting Kepler 70 which was their host star.
When the star passed through its red giant state, it engulfed the two planets and consumed them in the process..leaving only their high density metal cores orbiting the system like two zombies.
Kepler 70c registers high temperatures, but as it is tidally locked, we can explore the dark side of the planet.
Nevertheless, the bizarre landscape has a strange beauty. All of the surface is composed of highly compressed melted metals, giving it the appearance of a shiny, brittle, dark skin.
Due to the violent process it suffered, the planet is full of scars and millions and millions of pieces continually float around like an angry swarm.
Gravity makes the floating rocks swirl and cluster in a capricious ways.Now we find a canyon and we surf a river of asteroids, now we see valleys, terraces, hills and mountains, now we find clouds made of rocks and dust covering an ocean of metallic dunes...And sometimes, we can see Kepler 70b passing through the dark sky, as the two planets pass each other.
At its closest point they are only 240.000 km apart. When this happens, the gravity tides produce violent rock storms that send debris to the space that becomes trapped inside the two planets orbit...drawing a giant ring around the star.

Video Narrative: Wasp12b
Behold, one of the universe’s incredible dramas unfolding. What you are about to witness is the brutal demise of Wasp 12B. Wasp 12B is a dark gas giant, larger than jupiter, orbiting the star Wasp 12. Its surface absorbs 94% of the light, making it one of the darkest known planets. Wasp 12B is so close to the star that the planet takes a little more than a day to make one orbit. At this tremendous speed, the tidal forces has distorted its 2500 degree Kelvin boiling atmosphere into a egg shape and its ripping it away at 189 quadrillion tons per year. At this speed Wasp 12B will be consumed in about 10 million years. In terms of the universe, this is just the blink of an eye.
This is the old video, with the old conception of what could be Wasp 12b. A true “Hot Jupiter” impressivelly bright due to the incredible high temperatures. I just leave the video here for comparison (ANd because it is also a nice one).
This updated video shows the new discoveries of Wasp 12b. Before the Hubble 2017 findings, we could only guess that a so hot planet would be incredible bright; however, we have just discovered that Wasp 12b is black as asphalt, absorving 94% of the light, and showing only a faint red tint caused by the extreme temperatures.

Video Narrative Kepler 10c
We have folded 580 lights years to reach the Draco constellation and explore this exotic rocky planet covered by hot ice. Due to the brutal high pressure and temperature, all water in Kepler- 10C’s surface lacks a defined state, and naturally ranges from pure steam to critical exotic forms of ice such as “ice 7”. Under this extreme environment, water forms hot mud that crystallizes in twisted and outlandish shapes that grow and collapse within the 580 kelvin degrees poisonous atmosphere.

Video Narrative HD 189733-B
Beware HD 189733B. This gas giant located 63 light years from earth orbiting an orange dwarf star is really a death trap. Its deep blue color is produced by silicon crystal droplets howling in the 5.000 miles per hour winds which scatter the blue light in the 2.000 degree Farenheit atmosphere. Do not let it entice you into entering its atmosphere.

Video Narrative Kepler 186F
Here we find Kepler 186F, orbiting the Red Dwarf Star Kepler 186. 186F is just a little larger than Earth. The planet is located well within the habitable zone of the star. The first pleasant surprise, nonetheless an expected one, is that the planet is not tidally locked. However, its slow rotation makes for days and nights nearly three weeks long. Behold the bizarre beauty of the first recordings in Kepler 186F. The curious rock formations suggested erosion by water, but when our drones’ system began to fail we realized the true reason. There is a never ending ash cloud in this area. It is formed by a compound very similar to magnetite. The rocky shapes we see through our cameras are the result of thousands of years of magnetic ash accumulating over and over. Our team is venturing that some the largest structures could reach a million years in its formation. This suggest also a continuous volcanic activity. Our most immediate goal is to leave this desert area before the magnetic ash renders our equipment useless.

HD 191939: Three Sub-Neptunes Transiting a Sun-like Star Only 54 pc Away.
Mariona Badenas, a Ph.D. candidate at MIT (USA) specializing in exoplanets, led the discovery and validation of HD 191939, a multi-planetary system composed of at least three sub-Neptune-sized planets around a Sun-like star. The uniqueness of HD 191939 inspired her to create this beautiful short documentary teaming with David Argemí, host of exoplanets.art and leading artist in the field of narrative visuals, design and teacher at several institutions.

Imagination is power. Imagination drives humanity in many ways. Imagination defines us humans and, as species, we can be proud of some things. When we cease to exist only a small proof of our existence and breaktrhoughs will remain. Not World Cups. Not Weaponry or Wars. Not Architecture or Arts. Not Democratic Elections... but leaving the planet. Crossing the void. Expanding life. Expanding consciousness. Space travel. Self preservation. And make all things we can imagine as species to come true...because imagination is… //

//FAQs
Q1.- Why You do this videos? Are you involved in any kind of scientific project?
A1.- I do the videos because I like to do it and I enjoy the subject. No. This is not part of any project. It is just me and my spare time so far. For the time being, the big and notable exception is the HD191939 mini documentary wich I did teamed up with Mariona Badenas.
Q2.- Can I link your videos to my website?A2.- Yes, you are free to do so, as far you respect the video ”as is” without any modifications and give me the right credit and attribution AND you make absolutelly no profit or commecial use in any way direct or indirect of this videos. Please read the “Locked Data” section above.
Q3.- Can I use your video or a part of it in my own project?A3.- If your project is commercial, No. If your project is related to a research, school, or any other attribution, please, ask first before downloading and use it (And I say this because as a teacher myself I am always glad to help students of any kind, and I can provide you with more material or other graphic sources that you could find useful).
Please read the “Locked Data” section above.
Q3.1.- Can I use your video or a part of it in my commercial project? I will pay you.A3.1.- No. The reason is that, as much as I try to use mostly free software, I mainly do this videos with educational software versions, and I must fully respect and honor this. In fact, I can do this videos because the software producers -specially Isotropix, SideFX, and Maxon- provide me with educational versions to teach. This licenses allow the use for personal -non profit- projects. These videos are a fair example. So, sorry, there is no way to use this videos for any direct commercial use on a daily basis.
Please read the “Locked Data” section above.
Q3.2.- What about NFT's? Could you convert some art to an NFT for me. Do you have any NFT collectibles related to EXOPLANETS.ART?A3.2.- Yes. With the nature of the NFT providing a special status to the art there is a window here where I can rebuild some of the art for you using only free software in case that the piece you want it is not already done this way, or use the tokenized currency to upgrade to full production versions of the educational software I use (or more powerfull hardware) to continue supporting the production of content of this channel. Please just ask or choose an already clean NFT from the ones I already have prepared to support this channel at www.nftcollection.zone
Q3.3.- What about becoming a Patron? Could you accept financial help to support the production of this channel?
A3.3.- Yes. There are many ways to contribute and push the production of content of this project, and some steps to follow in order to go further. I am studying at this moment all the tax implications and consequences of opening a patronage system, as this is not a commercial project. So far, you can write and we can check the feasibility together.
Q4.- Which software do you use? Which Plaform?A4.- I use specially Isotropix Clarisse, SideFX Houdini, Blender, Natron, DaVinci, Cinema 4D, Krita, Photoshop, After Effects and some others. Depending on the situation. As for the platform I work mainly over OS X and Linux.
Q5.- How much time you need to do one of these videos?A5.- It depends on my free time and the complexity of the project, as I do this in my spare time. From a pair of months to one year or some more.

This project started as a series of illustrations for a conference. Later on, I wanted to post them here with some technical details.In the end, I preferred to mix everything together with a narrator, render new shots and do a new video instead. Special thanks go to Mariona Badenas for her continued inspiration with her life work and to Mae Rashed for her art advice, her encouragement and unconditional support.
WD 1145+017
A White Dwarf devouring a planet
This White Star, named WD 1145017 is located around 570 light years away, in the Virgo Constellation. Discovered in 2015 by Prof. Andrew Vanderburg using the Kepler Telescope, it became a special object of interest due to its intriguing features. The changes in its apparent brightness make us believe that the star has a giant debris disk. This disk could be the remnants of a defunct planet still orbiting around after the red giant phase of the star.
Different studies yield exciting results: The giant clouds, made up of dust, gases, and debris, block light up to 50% of the light star when it is in transit. Through different measurements, it is believed that around 6 giant residual bodies -plus millions of different sized remains in a more likely thick disk or group of disks - could be in a decaying slow orbit towards the star.
How is it really WD 1145017? How is it really this system? We do not know, but we can imagine it with light interacting with the thick debris disk in many different beautiful ways... How would the composition of gas and debris interact with light? Would we be able to marvel at an explosion of color caused by light being diffracted? It is up to you.
