The Walrus

Magazine Cover

The Walrus is a well known Canadian Magazine that creates content, manages awards and scholarship programs, plans events, produces podcasts, writes, edits, and fact-checks for top brands in Canada and beyond. This cover was illustraited for an article titled "Astronomers Detect Water Molecules Swirling Around A Star". The cover features water spiraling around a blue comet flying away from a planet-forming disk surrounding a star. The scientists' findings suggest that comets formed from these planet-forming disks could have been responsible for bringing water to earth.
