Can anyone tell me where this could be located? I know that it is just artwork, and that this system probably doesn't exist, but, damn, it's annoying me. I see no star, but possibly a nebula off in the distance. Also, that other planet seems a little close.

Or it might be a supernova remnant, I don't know, but if it is, why are the planets still there? Where is the neutron star/black hole?

>> No.1492333

That would be located in space.

It's located south of wonderland, about 15miles from Fairyland.

Looks like a region of star formation or a very asymmetrical supernova remnant.
Two nearby "planets" too close together? Maybe a scattering event or a collision about to occur.

Overall, it doesn't look so legit.

I'd think it's a twin-planet orbiting a young planetary nebula in the oort cloud surrounding the former star.

In that you should observe a brighter core due to the presence of a white dwarf. The white dots in the nebula seem to be represent stars, which would locate it very far away from the planets. If they are gas clumps, they lack a cometary-like structure and we still lack a central star.

>other planet

Who said it was a planet? Either one of them could be a moon for the other.

Well... pair-instability-nova?
No black holes, no neutron stars or anything like that. Just an energetic, quickly dissipating nebula.

in that case the planets are likely to be destroyed (unless these are the rocky cores of giant planets), but then planets wouldn't have had enough time nor conditions to form around such a big (and hence, short lived) star.
