I love space photos and have for some time wanted to code a generative art system to capture the grandiosity and awe of images such as seen in @hourlycosmos.

Then, this week I discovered that @tylermorganwall has a tutorial for rayrendering Saturn and its rings.

Raiding his code led to a system to simulate planets and their rings. I call it _Ideal Astronomies_.

Done in #Rstats using #rayrender; see my repo:
