Here is a guide, as well as some tips, for drawing a planet and stars latte art pattern.

Directions
- Base Layer (the Planet): Start by pouring the steamed milk to create a solid, circular “planet” in the middle of the cup. Use a gentle, steady pour to form the round shape.
- Planet Details: Once you have the planet shape, use a latte art tool or a small spoon to create an outline or rings around it. This can give the effect of planetary rings or an orbit.
- Add Stars: For stars, use the latte art tool to create small dots or tiny streaks around the planet. You can also create shooting stars by lightly dragging the tip of the tool in small, quick motions.
Tips
- Outline: If you want to make the planet stand out, lightly trace the edge with your tool for added definition.
- Shading: With the tool, carefully pull small lines from the “planet” toward the edge to add shadows and depth, making the planet look more spherical.
- Extra Touches: You can add craters or even tiny swirls around the planet to resemble a cosmic aura.
