What would the earth look like if our solar system were near a reflection nebula?

Solar particles react with the earth's magnetic field around the poles to produce lights in the sky.

Rain captured at the last moment, before becoming mud.

It didn't start out that way, but I suppose this has become the prequel to One Small Step.

Is this science fiction? actually yes, the Earth as seen from the moon is much smaller on the lunar horizon.

Complex textures, not only did I work a long time creating them, but it took 24 hours to render.

What if Earth was only a moon, the second moon, of some large planet?

My first attempt at rendering a planet. Part of my Onyx Table series.
