Lux Aeterna: Images taken by Cassini space probe, 14th September 2008.
Wish I could tell you exactly what this is, but I know only that it’s from a series of observations labelled “Saturn’s G Ring at 1 million kilometers”. And that it looks a ray of sunlight shining into a dusty room.

Resident Evil 7: Desolation.
@SuicideJazz:
Trailer: “Resident Evil 7: Desolation”. We begin… #unsolicitedscreenplay #RA7
The screen is black. Music fades in. Sounds familiar, but it takes you a second: it’s I Put A Spell On You, in the style of Miles Davis #RA7

The World Turns: Three images of Neptune, photographed by Hubble Space Telescope, 18th July 1995.

An underwater guy who controlled the sea
