I just saw a short clip on the size of our Milky Way galaxy as compared to others (spoiler: it’s really tiny) and it got me thinking about planets. And kitchen implements. This is convenient because Norwegian photographer Christopher Jonassen is in the business of creating alien planets from the most unlikeliest of sources — the bottoms of worn out frying pans!

In his Devour series, Jonassen uses a simple background to bring the scarred, weathered frying pans into a new light. Have a look at his creative frying pan planets after the jump.

See a few more images from the Devour set on Flickr.
