Embarked on a planetary voyage a couple days ago 🪐 Me inside “The Jewel System” by Sara Shakeel at ArtisTree in Taikoo Place, #HongKong. Marking the artist’s East Asia debut, the site-specific #installation is a reinterpretation of our #solarsystem using centuries-old #embroidery techniques from her home country of #Pakistan and millions of crystals. ✨

And a fun anecdote about my outfit from a few hours before this #photo was taken:

At last, auroras have been spotted on every planet in the solar system, thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope. The JWST’s powerful near-infrared spectrometer recently revealed Neptune’s elusive aurora in all its gently glowing glory.

A neat story by @DrCarpineti: "'This is the quadfecta, completing the set of observing auroral emissions from all of the four giant planets in the infrared. We knew it should be there since Neptune has all the ingredients you need to create aurorae, but we were never able to detect it using telescopes on the ground.'"
