2/n 🧵

This second image is quite unusual. The Mars Express viewing angle makes it look like Phobos is passing over Kasei Valles, but that region is actually farther north than Phobos’s orbit.

An orbital photo captured by ESA Mars Express. The lower part of the frame show the curved horizon of Mars, featuring a dusty, butterscotch-colored surface. The terrain is marked by the Kasei Valles outflow channels at the bottom, appearing as vast valleys and ripples, with scattered impact craters throughout. A thin, pale haze of the Martian atmosphere clings to the limb of the planet against the stark blackness of space. Floating just below the curvature of the planet is Phobos, one of Mars' satellites. Phobos appears as a small, dark, potato-shaped rock, heavily textured and cratered, suspended above the planet's surface.

2 NEW epic images of Phobos over Mars just released by ESA Mars Express

This view is especially striking, with Phobos between the Tharsis volcanoes and Noctis Labyrinthus–Valles Marineris

$A wide view of the planet Mars fills the frame, shown as a curved, rust-colored world against black space. The bottom edge fades into darkness, marking the planet’s night side, while the upper portion is brightly lit by sunlight. Near the right side are three large, round volcanic mountains of the Tharsis region, each with a wide circular base and a darker central caldera, resembling shallow craters pressed into the surface. North of these volcanoes, stretching almost vertically across the upper right half of the planet, lies Noctis Labyrinthus and Valles Marineris: an immense system of deep canyons and fractured terrain that appears as pale, branching scars and cracks, partly softened by hazy, cloud-like atmospheric features. Near the center of the image, positioned between the volcanoes and the canyon system, a small dark oval appears against Mars’s surface. This is Phobos, one of Mars’s satellites. Its tiny size stands out sharply against the vast scale of the planet below.$

Been thinking about supers lately, so spent a few days just drawing up a bunch of supervillains, new and old... mostly old.
In fact, some of these are so old that I realize I haven't thought very much about them in a long time, and had to make up some of these little info blurbs on the spot.
Granted, that's how a lot of my worldbuilding works; broad, wide strokes, then fill in the depth later.
Anyway, I like supervillains.
