Made this illustration for an @astrocardgame promo image. We have some big announcement coming up soon 🤗

[Eesha @eeshadg]

I'm hoping this shop to be a step towards someday starting my own online shop.
Any money I earn from this shop or through art commissions (on https://t.co/U4RRvzSyqp) will be used as capital towards that.
Would greatly appreciate any shares and support 🤗 2/2

Me: Long day at work! I should go home and draw something to disassociate! No more thinking about stars and their winds!!!!

Also Me: *draws a Luminous Blue Variable* 🤦‍♀️

[Astromania : The Astronomy Card Game @astrocardgame]

We keep finding planets outside the solar system 🤷‍♀️ These are called exoplanets! As of March, 2024, the count for confirmed exoplanet detections is 5,599! Yet no solid proof of life.....

Maybe you'll find something while you play our game? 😏

It's me, I'm the graduate student doodling silly comics at ungodly hours

[Astromania : The Astronomy Card Game @astrocardgame]

This comic and our entire game was made by graduate students at ungodly hours ⏰

Comics like this are on the 'Interact' cards in our game! These cards help you shuffle your hand, mess with other players, and let you glimpse into lives of real astronomers ✨

[Eesha @eeshadg]

Totally real journal definitely not made up for our silly little card game

[Astromania : The Astronomy Card Game @astrocardgame]

Fresh from the Astromania journal! Stars with partners are more common than you may think!

Our card game lets you turn your game points into scientific publication🤓And these 'paper' titles? All TRUE space facts!

Stay tuned for game release info! Till then, enjoy our papers🤗

[Eesha @eeshadg]

We're still cooking! There's a big announcement coming, till then, we're gonna post comics from some of our cards to keep you entertained 😁

[Astromania : The Astronomy Card Game @astrocardgame]

This is something our artist/developer @eeshadg overheard at a telescope night 🔭✨
Outreach initiatives like our card game hope to bring this 'so cool it feels illegal' world of astronomy to your homes very soon! Till then, enjoy a comic from an 'Interact' card in the game🙂

Patna folks surely remember the 2009 total solar eclipse! I'm so fortunate to be close to the path of totality again in one lifetime and using prior experiences to communicate how cool this event on April 8 is going to be 😃

[Dunlap Institute @DunlapInstitute]

#Eclipse2024 is 2 weeks away!

We caught up with @UofTArtSci graduate student Eesha Das Gupta (@eeshadg) to hear about what you can expect on April 8 & what to look out for during totality.

[Dunlap Institute @DunlapInstitute]

Prof. Laurie Rousseau-Nepton, Samantha Doxtator & Melanie Demers share Indigenous knowledge about total solar eclipses ahead of #Eclipse2024.

Happy (belated) Pi Day! Have a slice of space 🙂🥧

My attempt at drawing the Rosette Nebula.
It is an HII region, home to new, blue stars. The cavity at the center is formed when newborn stars push the gas around them outwards. And the blue itself is a nice contrast to the reddish/yellow ionized, radiating hydrogen gas 😌
