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

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

Mountains peek through the clouds at a spectacular sun.

On a hazy green planet, an odd sci-fi pump siphons from a pool of liquid, beneath a nebula filled sky.

The red planet, 4th from the sun.

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

I first used these Orcas I made in a logo wallpaper project for including on computers sold by Ice-Comp. I'll probably use them again sometime.

I drew the bump map (planet surface) in Photoshop, and spent too much time trying to get it just right, because only 10% shows up in the final image.

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