![]() Mars rising brings a martial aspect, also an increased physicality of. A planet conjunct or closely aspecting the ascendant also has an impact on this forward face. Mars-ruled, the ascendant sign shows itself in both appearance and physical attitude. Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) captured several bright, narrow rings as well as the planet’s fainter dust bands. See also: Busta Rhymes – ‘Pass the Courvoisier Pt. The ascendant has a distinct impact on the appearance, both physically and in the intangible. 21, 2022, the James Webb Space Telescope delivered the clearest view of Neptune’s rings in more than 30 years. It’s also got a video set in the desert, which was something a lot of hip-hop artists were doing around this time. ![]() material, and those blunt bursts of kick drum would become a trademark of their productions for The Clipse and more. ‘Superthug’ is a great standalone production, but also a sign of things to come: that ultra-nasty bassline would be revisited throughout the group’s N.E.R.D. They’re good, but on the generic side it wasn’t until the late part of that decade that Chad and Pharrell would start to really develop the techniques that shaped how pop music would sound in the ‘00s. There are early Neptunes tracks dating back to the mid-‘90s, for R&B groups like Total and SWV. Naturally, when you’re restricted to ten choices, a lot of worthy music has been left out, but if you’re eager for more, then check the “See also” footnotes under certain entries. But this feature deals with The Neptunes as potent chart producers, and aims to combine both their greatest (and mostly obvious) triumphs with lesser-known moments of genius. They also released a classic album: In Search Of…, under their N*E*R*D guise. They made stars (Clipse, Kelis) and they reinvented stars (Britney, Justin Timberlake – they were even behind N*Sync’s best ever single). Following a somewhat rough late ‘90s (which isn’t to say there wasn’t gold – there’s nothing duller than golden age bores dismissing this period outright), chart hip-hop spent the first half of the last decade as unique and experimental as it ever has been, and these two are the key reasons why. Frankly, they shouldn’t even need an introduction, as anyone who spent this period with a radio will, consciously or not, have had the way they viewed pop music altered by the Neptunes. Instead, the inner planets relied on liquids and gases gathered from impacts and volcanic outgassing to form the atmospheres we see today.Īll this to say, the early building blocks of each planet contributes to our colorful planetary panoply.Between 19, there wasn’t a single hip-hop producer – fellow Virginia Beach man Timbaland aside – touching the Neptunes.Įven Timbaland, renowned for taking the deeply weird and twisting it into chart success, didn’t share the same hit rate as Chad Hugo and Pharrell did in the early ‘00s. ![]() ![]() Whatever they did manage to pull in is unlikely to have lasted. But these young planets were unable to pull as much gas to themselves as their larger siblings. ![]() Iron, sulfur, aluminum, nickel, and other metallic compounds circled the baby Sun round and round for millions of years, crashing into each other, eventually coalescing into the inner planets. Jupiter, Saturn, and even Neptune and Uranus were able to pull in some of nebula’s hydrogen and helium to swaddle their cores, causing them to grow to truly massive sizes.Ĭloser to the Sun, the heat was so intense that it vaporized anything without high melting points only rocks remained. Most of the gas - predominately hydrogen and helium - was swallowed by our young star no surprise considering the Sun contains somewhere between 99.8 and 99.9 percent of the solar system’s total mass.Īt the same time, debris mixed into the nebula collided over and over again, eventually accreting into planetesimals and then protoplanets. It represents ‘the illusion’, spreading a watery veil over matters and distorting the view. But why are these planets so different?Īs it turns out, stars and their planets form at the same time from a disk of gas and dust known as a solar nebula. Neptune is romantic and poetic, musical and dreamy. Even the gas giants are different, Neptune and Uranus an opaque blue, while Jupiter and Saturn are mostly beige with brilliant red-brown belts. As with Uranus, the absorption of red light by the atmospheric methane is part of what gives Neptune its blue hue, although Neptune's is darker and more vivid. Mercury is slate gray while Venus is pearly white, Earth a vibrant blue, and Mars a dusky red. The planets of the solar system are varied in their appearance. ![]()
