Description Welcome to Cerulia. An astronaut walks around on the surface in the middle of the Cerulian day. (1 day on Cerulia is actually worth 19.568 earth days long)

Cerulia is the 4th major moon around the planet Palitea .

If you were standing on Cerulia it would be -120 C and you would sink into the dusty carbon dioxide snow very deep in some places so watch out. it would be very dark and the sky would be only very dimly lit from the scattered daylight in the blanket clouds far above. If you turned on your space suit lights, you would only be able to see only a few 10 meters in front of you as the dusty carbon dioxide will obscure everything as it falls and sublimates endlessly all around you.
Cerulia's surface is covered in endless snow drifts and dunes carved by strong 60km/h winds. Snow is constantly sublimating out into vapor and back into the colder clouds to snow down again endlessly, thus completing the CO2 Cycle on Cerulia.

Made in Paint Tool SAI. I also have Cerulia in Space Engine though it is just a big white cloudy ball from space really.
normally i use the rule of thirds but this one just came out this way and it works. ?

Enjoyz
