Nice try Susan  .  However, I would mention that there a few pointers that you should consider. The foreground Planet detailing looks a bit like drapery or veins (something of that sort) which looks a bit weird. I would definitely agree with startwister218 ; the contrast which he mentioned is vital and that actually gives life to the piece and make it more believable also the Title of your art does not actually go with the art itself.  
I know this comment may sound a bit rude but we do expect a lot better from you!

Thank you, but I'm not happy with the colours from the auras as they are not bright enough I don't know how to make them brighter on black paper especially with pastels.

Some colours (in my case especially red) require lots of paint (pigments). What also works pretty well, is painting with strong contrasts, wich means, if you paint on black paper, leave lots of it black, and make the coloured parts really bright - also the shadows and highlights of rock planets or moons.

You can always ask questions or visit my youtube channel. Just google for Startwister. I got some tutorials on my space art, wich could be of some help.

Hello Sebastian thank you for your comment but this was done in pastel so not too much problem, but when I try with acrylic paints I struggle to blend.
