Waves on Miller’s Planet Print

Inspired by the scene in the movie “Interstellar” 2014. The painting is a depiction of Miller's Planet (is a planet and the first planet in the system orbiting Gargantua. Miller's Planet takes its name from Dr. Laura Miller, who landed on the planet with her lazarus pod and activated the "thumbs up" beacon. It is also the first location for the crew of the Endurance visit). Geography Miller's planet is a waterworld, covered in a seemingly endless, shallow ocean. The planet's gravity is described to be "punishing" at 130% of Earth's, forcing human astronauts to move slowly and with some difficulty while on its surface. Time on the surface of Miller's planet passes very slowly relative to the time experienced by Romilly and that experienced on Earth. Romilly calculated that a single hour on Miller's Planet would equate to seven years back on Earth. Because of the planet's proximity to Gargantua, the immense gravity of the black hole causes the planet to be roiled by massive tidal waves as tall as 4,000 feet. There is no sign of dry land on Miller, which may not exist because of the sheer volume of water on the planet. Capture Ranger 1 softly landing on Miller's planet. Dr. Amelia Brand describes the planet as "sterile" in accordance with the data findings of Dr. Laura Miller. The ocean was described to smell like distilled water poured on hot rocks - a mineral scent, but not like salt water. [1] The waves and shallow, sterile oceans would not support an environment capable of harboring advanced life (much less a civilization). It is also possible that the ocean's mineral content would fail to suit microbes and other simple lifeforms, despite the presence of necessary hydrocarbons, water, and starlight. A third reason for the term "sterile" may be that the planet simply did not exist long enough to develop life.
