  Episode 8 planning, pictures, secretzzzzFeb 23, 2010 7:32 AM PST | url
 
I got most of episode 8's script written today, so tomorrow will be polishing it up and then starting in on storyboards. This episode will take place around nifty stuff like planetary magnetospheres and radiation belts, and hey I put together bunch of nifty magnetosphere reference images for us on the forum, like with aurorae and stuff. (Although the planet in the episode will be too weird to have an aurora, actually. :o) For instance, here's a nifty Cassini image of microwave emission from Jupiter's radiation belts:

And do you know what the densest natural element is (it isn't lead, gold or uranium!), or the deepest hole ever drilled by humans? Those and other interesting and possibly relevant trivia are to be found behind that link as well!
 
And I don't have reference photos handy for these, but the episode will also include heaping helpings of deception, double-cross, death, and despair, a sizable smidgen of spite, and at least one space battle. Ooh and we just may find out some actual info behind that deadly encounter at Tempus 477! Oooh (2) and here's a possibly too revealing/obvious hint: how do you hide a star?
 
If I can draw all this stuff right, episode 8 could turn out pretty good!
