Reign of Fire by Gate-To-Nowhere

The image is painted in Photoshop. In the beginning I did no know how to make it and I rendered an image in Terragen. This did not do it at all in so I overpainted it.

95% of the image are painted with brushes(the sun with the help of a "differencial clouds-filter" and a warp-filter) and 5% are remnants of Terragen which I used as textures.

The is the Terragen-Image:

Terragen-render

For the moon in the sky I used a Terragen-Texture es well.

What you see here is a planet surrounding an active M-Star(cooler than the sun) in a close orbit. At least as far as I imagine it to look like

Because of the heat of the sun the surface melts and gets solid again.

Many thanks to the APOD-Team for featuring my Artwork!
Today(may 21. 2008) this image became Astronomy picture of the day!

Technically, wouldn't the planet be tidally locked to the star if it was that close?

Keira-the-Wolf Featured By Owner May 5, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

True but even if it was tidally locked, it would still orbit. It just wouldn revolve.

And they said nothing about it revolving either.

Roronoa-Forte Featured By Owner May 6, 2011

"Because of the heat of the sun the surface melts and gets solid again."

I think you misunderstood "tidally-locked." It means the same side of an orbiting object always faces its parent (like our own moon does the Earth). How would the surface re-solidify if the tidally-locked side had no reprieve from its parent star's heat?

Keira-the-Wolf Featured By Owner May 6, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

I did not misunderstand what tidally locked means.

It could happen during eclipses BUT there could be the superheated surface is like submerging crust. Where the hot material sinks and the cooler material rises up from the force of the hot sinking.

This solar object obviously must have a form of plate tectonics.

Roronoa-Forte Featured By Owner May 6, 2011

True, true.

Its moon is far too small and the system too close to the star for an eclipse to have any effect. And I kinda doubt the inside of the planet is any cooler than the outside; I've never heard of such a phenomenon.

Keira-the-Wolf Featured By Owner May 6, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

well at some point the center of our earth will cool. The radioactive decay going on in the core will cease. So if thats what happened to the object here, it would make sense for the crust to sink and rise.

Just like...hm... it was either one of Jupiter or Uranus... but one of its moons is constantly being pulled and stretched by the gravity of the larger moons and the planet, this makes it turn inside out constantly. The volcanism on that little object is so intense, my college astronomy professor said its amazing the poor little guy is able to endure what it goes through. lol

Roronoa-Forte Featured By Owner May 6, 2011

I guess I should concede, then, to someone who obviously has a greater grasp of planetary activity than I.

Keira-the-Wolf Featured By Owner May 6, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

no no its fine ^^ Healthy debates are good for you xD

did you know that when stars go supernova, they create metals, gases, etc? And like... the same iron in our blood was made by the stars...long long ago. its amazing if you think about it, we're children of stars.
