Seeing our fellow planets on their own is one thing, but it takes an artist to visualize them in our own night sky.

Ron Miller provides some new perspective on our planetary brethren by replacing our familiar moon with other celestial bodies, putting their glory in a more familiar setting.

As My Modern Met explains:

Miller’s series presents a normal view of the moon in the night sky accompanied by seven additional images, each featuring a different planet. In his creative quest to mimic each spectacular vision in all their glory, Miller bends his scientific reasoning of atmospheric composition and allows each of the planets to retain its chemical makeup and lustrous color. Regarding the gaseous planet Venus, the artist says, “We’re pretending, of course, that Venus would still have the same atmospheric conditions if it were in essentially the same orbit as the Earth.”

Enjoy.
