I started another try to create a new space scenery in November 2017. This time I tried to let the planet look more realistic. So I used multiple layers of clouds above the actual planet to create a kind of 3-dimensional atmosphere around it. I also added a second planet to the scenery. The initial idea for it was a stony planet with lava flows over the whole planet. I decided to change the colour of the lava flows to turquoise because it harmonises more with the overall image.
