...around a distant planet. This rocky, cratered surface is circling an earth-like planet in a neighboring star system. It's parent planet is somewhat more arrid and its atmosphere is breathable but thinner. Like Earth, it is a rocky planet whose surface is covered by an ocean of water; however, the latter is quite a bit more shallow than ours and the land surface covers more than a third of the planet. There is abundant sea life, but on land only the hardiest of species survive. This moon is not like our moon. It is about a third smaller in size and it has a mostly rocky surface. It is much closer to its parent than the Moon is to the Earth, so, despite its smaller size, it looks almost as big in the sky as our Moon does in ours. The effect I was going for was to bathe the moon's surace in "planet-glow." Credits: Bryce5.5, Poser6, PaintShopPro5.
