Indra, a fast spinning gas giant generating tremendous tidal forces

Artists concept of Indra, a fast spinning gas giant generating tremendous tidal forces, tearing its moons apart when they stray too close.
As it swirls at incredible speeds of more than 28, 000 mph (45, 000kph), the planet becomes an oblate sphere, with the equatorial radius of the planet being much greater than its polar radius. This furiously spinning maelstrom is mirrored in the galaxy seen beyond its newly formed rings and the remaining moons: Agni, Vayu, and Antarik

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork by Brian Christensen depicts the awe-inspiring gas giant known as Indra, a celestial body characterized by its rapid rotation and immense tidal forces. As it spins at an astonishing speed of over 28,000 mph (45,000 kph), Indra takes on the form of an oblate sphere, with its equatorial radius far surpassing its polar radius. This extraordinary phenomenon results in tremendous gravitational pull that tears apart any moons unfortunate enough to venture too close. The image showcases the sheer power and chaos of this spinning maelstrom, beautifully reflected in the surrounding galaxy and newly formed rings encircling Indra. The remaining moons - Agni, Vayu, and Antarik - are mere witnesses to their sibling's destructive nature. With vibrant colors and intricate details, this digitally generated illustration transports us into a world where science fiction meets imagination. It invites us to contemplate the mysteries of our universe while marveling at the bizarre wonders it holds. Brian Christensen's artwork is a testament to his skill in creating visually striking space art that ignites our curiosity about distant worlds beyond our reach. In this mesmerizing piece, he captures both the beauty and danger inherent in cosmic phenomena like Indra – reminding us of just how small we are amidst the vastness of existence.
