Description
The terrain has a material from the Landscapes under Fantastic Skies Set, the stars are from the Space Construction Kit (both available at Daz 3D). The key light is from a distant light with a gel that was created as a spherical panorama in Octane from an IES light map by David Brinnen. The HDRI for the ambient light and the sky backdrop was created by taking the same IES light as a base. The sun has ejected a part of its atmosphere into space.

I'm always amazed, what such old and "outdated" software is still capable of. Possibly we don't need so many updates and new releases with features we never use anyway, but would better kick our self in the butt and start doing amazing things with what we have...
Well done and great concept,I observe that this is a planet outside our Galaxy. Congratulations Horo.
