A spherical form bristles with metallic spines against a backdrop of swirling cosmic gases and distant galaxies. The central mass suggests both organic defensiveness and mechanical precision, its thorns catching starlight like weaponized jewelry. Nebular clouds spiral in chromatic waves of emerald and amber, framing this enigmatic object as both destroyer and protector. The composition evokes themes of cosmic evolution and survival, where beauty and danger coexist in perfect tension. This celestial sea urchin or stellar mine drifts through space as a testament to nature's dual capacity for creation and annihilation.
