Ryan Hopkinson. Tornado

Tornadoes have always fascinated me and this got me thinking about ways of
taking weather elements out of context and bringing them within a controlled
environment and ultimately into my own work. I created these artificial
tornadoes for real and in collaboration with Lightning+Kinglyface. It was at
first a game of trial and error, delicately balancing the right artificial environ-
ment with the correct amount of rising smoke. Any slight wind changes in the
studio or on the surface would knock the vortex and stop it from forming.
We managed to create twenty tornadoes, each around 4ft in height all with
their own personalities and weight. The delicate nature of our creations was
a big juxtaposition in many ways between natures own, but being able to
create one and see it up close, regardless of its size and power was mesmerising.

Dione’s Evander basin caught against Saturn and rings

On May 2, 2012, Cassini captured a high-resolution mosaic of Dione poised against the yellow globe of Saturn. The black stripe is Saturn’s rings, seen nearly edge-on. The large impact basin at the bottom edge of Dione is named Evander.
