Description
A return to space for this one, today. You are on the surface of one of Jupiter's moons witnessing the comet Schumacher-Levy 9 flying over-head and ultimately impacting on Jupiter's surface a few years ago.
Enjoy and thanks, as always, for viewing and commenting...

Excellent spacescape very well done, kudos....
This has just a great WOW effect, Keith ... that's a fave for sure ^¿^ and a 5000 +5 if I could
What a great light and fantastic atmosphere here! Excellent work!
Wow this looks great zoomed in! and what a unique idea!!! very creative indeed. and I also love this sphere you created! have a cool day man!
Superb textures and background! 5++
A wonder picture Keith. Impact or not there is peace inherent in this lovely image!
Oooh, I remember when this happened! There was quite a hubaloo over it and with good reason, impact events are pretty awesome...and this lives up to that in so many ways. I agree with e-brink, there is a sense of calm inherent in this image, but part of that could just be from the grandeur of space itself! This is a great image.
Is it Titan? There's plenty of moons to choose from! I love the light coming over the horizon But then I'm a Sci-Fi lover and Sci -Fi where Jupiter is concerned is pretty much reality now with the probes.
Titan is of course near Saturn.. so it can't be that moon (besides with the clouds there one would not see a thing :) It is sad that we were not there to see it.. It must have been a great event.. Much light.. no sound
Awesome lighting and terrain work...Love the reflections in the sphere! Great work Keith!:))))
Really great image. I like the way the rays of light come out, and also it has kind of a smokey feel to it in that area. And great terrains! Thanks!
a very cool work with a fantastic light! Nice done. :D
awesome image...love those rays.. ya think i can get some sun? :)
Actually, since this is so close-in a view, we are viewing it from the moon, Io. There have been 63 moons circling Jupiter already discovered. Altho, some may only be the size of small asteroids.
Whoa. That is rather trippy. Great work. BTW, Keith, in the material editor, there is an upside-down triangle near the mixers with a submenu for lighting models. Ones that give interesting results for planets are: Fuzzy, Additive, and Distance Blur. You can get some surreal and dreamlike effects.
wow this is fantastic! you.ve been tripping arond the galaxy I see hehe !
Awesome space scene!!! One of my favorite comet the Hale-Bopp!
Wow, the pearlescent colors are just astounding; I also remember when this comet was around. It was one of the most awesome events and I would go outside every night just to look, couldn't get enough of it!! This is wonderful!!
Color ,light and composition are Extraordinary , excellent work ! Ana
nice work love the lighting
Great force of light coming up over the tops of those great mountains. Love the Jupiter sphere. Very nicely done!!
Wow a celestial wonder! Weldone, Keith. Great effect. Muis
This is fantastic. Your terrain work is really stunning. Your lighting is great and I love the way you have the sphere in the background lit. This is a beautiful scene.
Fantastic light and overall look!!!!
Another stunning image keith!! Excellent terrain work again!! Love the rays!!
Wow Keith, this is a stunning space image, I love what you've achieved with the skies in this one and the terrain work is fantastic. I agree with other peoples coments in that there is a surreal serenity about this image. A fav for sure. Tony :-)
the perspective is excellent.I can imagine the comet barreling toward the planet
Wow, that's stunning image, the lighting is perfect and Jupiter looks awesome!
Hi Keith wonderful work sure does shine sweet sunshine to you warm hug, Linda
I know for a fact how difficult it is to render light beams in Bryce, and I am astonished by your skill at using Bryce masterfully. This is state-of-the-art Bryce artwork!
