The Alternate World

My interest in Astronomy dates back to the time when i was first introduced to an Atlas, it was an Orient-Longman I think. In it, there was an appendix where the colourful pictures of planets of the solar system & other bodies were given along with the details about them. Comparing those worlds with the one in which we are living, a thought always occured to me; Our world could have been different from the one right now. There could have been more than one moon shining in our night sky, a planet peeping into our lives. The color of sky could have been different & so on...

This post will take you to an alternate world, to a new planet. Fed on my imagination, I went on a search of this world. Here is collection of a few pictures which are the closest to my imagination. So, here you go...


1. Two moons in the sky & a sparkling unknown source of light.





2. A scene from a moon with its planet, another moon & its sun.




3. Sea of Serenity I-The Dusk.




4. Sea of Serenity II-The Daytime



5. Vision from a ringed planet's satellite- The Ultimate Beauty.





6. Vision from a ringed planet's satellite- The Sunrise.




7. Sea of Serenity III. In fact, there are 4 people in this picture.



8. A new satellite in the Earth's sky.



9. Sunrise & two moons



P.S. : There is still one imagination of mine whose depiction I was unable to find. Its about a planet with two 'Suns'. In our solar system there are couplets of stars who revolve around each other. I could not find any convincing picture showing this.
