To get the second artifact prototype, you first have to access the "Damaged Laboratory." There's a hull breach near the edge of the disc on the sunward side of the Stranger, roughly 90 degrees clockwise from the docking bay, at the base of one of the tall pillars with a light on top, as shown below:
Land your ship near the hole and exit. Be careful getting out, because gravity is pointed toward the edge of the circle, not down onto the disc, so try to exit the ship and land on the pillar, then boost up into the hole.
Go through the small burned room and open the door to enter the main Laboratory. Note that there are three different "artifacts" in the Lab, so make sure to grab the right one -- it's shaped like a C with a vertical bar down the center. You'll find the ones you want in a crate on the right-hand side of the room.
Grab one of those, then exit through the door at the top of the stairs. This will put you fairly close to the temple in the Hidden Gorge. Open the secret passage by removing the lanterns from in front of the picture with the ringed planet at the top, take the artifact downstairs, and press
to doze off by the fire, with explosive results. The achievement should pop before the smoke clears.

Good picture, helps. And entering that breach, whoo, is sometimes difficult. If you land with nose pointing at the breach you'll be able to exit and get up to the pillar, then turn and jump onto the breach. My add would be:
To find the little hall of murals, go upstairs from artifact, go through door (your flashlight will rotate the sun into its place), ascend the long staircase, exit on the outside, turn left, stay along the cliff wall, eventually you'll come to a cave/door in the rock, with 5ish paintings), remove the lanterns, then the secret entrance is *straight into that planet mural* -- it's dropped back and you can enter and turn left and go to your fire and sleep. Also: you need to wake up for the event to happen. Believe it's all in the vid below:

Great solution. Minor nitpick: "roughly 90 degrees clockwise". I'd say it's about 130-140 degrees clockwise. Especially judging from the slide reel that documents the lab accident. One frame shows the docking bay at 6 o'clock and the blown out lab at somewhere between 10 and 11 o'clock.

You can find the 2nd version of the artifact in the workshop, which is accessible from a whole in the hull at the Sun Facing side. Upon entering from that hole into the workshop, the 2nd prototype will be in the crates to the right.
Use that on one of the blue flames where you can doze off.

Is the workshop in the Stranger?

Time: Anytime
Special note: you will die and start a new loop
When you reach the breach in the Stranger, you will find yourself in a mysterious laboratory, where you will learn how to use the artifacts.
Inside this laboratory, you will find regular artifacts and a prototype artifact (don't mistake it with the "lantern", called also artifact).
The prototype is inside a crate on the right side and you can recognize it because it's very similar to the regular artifact but without the tip that will permit you to focus light.
Equip the prototype and reach one of the green campfire. Use the artifact and get the trophy.

You need to take the broken artifact that the owls tested in the laboratory and go to bed with this artifact.
In order not to go a long way to the laboratory, you can go into the secret compartment, which is located near the stranger’s main entrance.
The compartment itself is easy to miss; it is round in shape, with a platform next to it:
The broken artifact itself is in the chest.
