Description Inspired by Star Wars, Three Body Problem and the other sci-fi classics, this etching depicts a space colony on planet ß1 Capricorni Ab2a in E.S.6 (E.S. for exo saigei). The system has five stars in total but they are in smaller groups of 3 and 2. The planet is smaller than its moon but much denser and very strong magnetic field. Because of this core of the planet, transports and vehicles easily rely on magnetic levitation, making them seem like flying cars and trains. Also due to the multiple suns and the big moon, the colony can harness the solar and tidal energy for electricity. There is no fossil fuels in everyday life because almost all lives were brought here except the indigenous plants and micro-organisms. The technical aspect: 1. Hard ground etching; 2. Soft ground etching; 3. sugar lifting + box aquatint fine rosin + spit bite (with real spit!); 4-9. box aquatint in 6 parts (at least); 10. hand shaken aquatint rosin + spit bite 11. dry point burnishing touch-ups
