An astronomical artist has created eye-opening illustrations imagining what the night sky would look like if the moon was replaced by the other planets in the solar system.
Ron Miller, a former art director for NASA, [size=1.2em]used digital trickery to superimpose scale drawings of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune over the same landscape, [size=1.2em]highlighting the sheer size of the planets.
The incredible drawings imagine each planet to be 233,812 miles from Earth - the same distance at which the moon orbits.
Enormous planet Jupiter, around 11 times the size of Earth, would dominate the skies while Mars would appear to be around twice the size of the moon.
Artist: Ron Miller used this view of the moon over Death Valley, California, as the basis for his images
Perspective: The former NASA art director imagined how Neptune would look from earth if it was the same distance away as the moon
Huge: The diameter of Jupiter is 40 times that of the moon and it would dominate the night sky if it were in the same position
Red planet: Mars would appear around twice the size of the moon from 233,812 miles away
Orb: Uranus would look a similar size to Neptune, according to Mr Miller, who has created the images to highlight the size of the planets
Night sky: Smallest planet Mercury would look just slightly larger than the moon from the same distance
Massive: Saturn and its rings would cover almost 18 degrees of the night sky, according to Mr Miller's calculations
Neighbour: Venus is only slighter smaller than earth so would appear around the same size as our planet does from the moon
