how this picture was made
Painted by @cf/leonardo/lucid-origin on workers-ai.cloudflare.com, 2026-09-21 00:28Z. Scene directed by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast.
The scene the art director wrote
A sprawling space center at dusk with a rocket blazing upward from the launchpad, surrounded by technicians and engineers in bright vests, as a massive screenless room in the background fills with people gathered around a large lunar map and a model of the Roman telescope, under a warm orange glow.
Inside the house scaffold (the fixed style + safety clauses), the full prompt the painter received
Sprawling painted editorial illustration for a newspaper front page: A sprawling space center at dusk with a rocket blazing upward from the launchpad, surrounded by technicians and engineers in bright vests, as a massive screenless room in the background fills with people gathered around a large lunar map and a model of the Roman telescope, under a warm orange glow. Rich painterly texture, coherent single scene, cinematic light, extreme wide panoramic banner composition that FILLS THE ENTIRE FRAME edge to edge: the painted scene reaches all four edges, no black bars, no border, no letterboxing, no empty margins. Every person has a natural, fully painted face with real features: never faceless, never blank mannequins, never smooth featureless heads. All people are fictional and resemble no real public figure. Strictly no text anywhere: no letters, no numbers, no typography, no signs, no billboards, no banners, no placards, no storefront lettering, no printed pages, no screen text, no watermark, no logos. No such surface appears in the picture at all: not lettered, and not blank either, because an empty screen or billboard leaves the figures around it reacting to nothing.

GJ 3090 b orbits its star backward, study reports
A 2026 study in Astronomy & Astrophysics finds the exoplanet's orbit is misaligned about 136 degrees from its host star's rotation.
By Luisa Marconi · 35hExoplanet GJ 3090 b orbits its host star in a retrograde direction, circling opposite to the star's rotation with an orbital misalignment of approximately 136 degrees, a study in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics reports.
