Saturn isn’t just another gas giant — it’s a gravitational stage where some of the most important dramas and actors of our solar system are still unfolding. Every moon, every ring particle, every jet of plasma from its magnetosphere is a piece of the puzzle, and if you watch closely enough, you start to see the evolution of our solar system written into their motions.

Uranus Simulation – Scientific Data Reference

NasaNirCamUranus

Physical Properties, Atmosphere, Rings, and Moons Uranus is one of the most fascinating environments in our Solar System, full of dark mysteries, intrigue, and undoubtedly novel vacuum physics that we will learn about as we send probes and explore the outer regions of our Solar System. The most interesting aspects of Uranus are its retrograde … Read more

Neptune: The Nautical Sailor Planet at the Edge of the Solar System

Neptune in ultraviolet blue, a Voyager2 image from 1989

Neptune is a fascinating system, continually forging the outer edges of our solar system. The gas giant’s orbit is littered with debris, dust and objects that travel through the Oort Cloud and into the Kuiper Belt and get caught in the gravity of the huge frozen gas giant. With a day lasting about 16 hours, … Read more

I released a new track on Soundcloud today (9/11/2025), it will also be up on Spotify shortly here. I just felt like writing for a few hours this morning, and this is what came out of that time. I hope you enjoy it, and that your day goes swimmingly.

The S2 Star and Sagittarius A (orbital simulation)

S2 Orbital Analysis - Elliot Telford

I always like to learn about new concept and ideas, so this morning I woke up and just started to study frame dragging and relativistic effects on stars. I’ve been spending a lot of time with physics lately and have done a full Sagittarius A calculation, which turned out to be a fun way to … Read more
