| I've been using that camera trick some more, because I loved that shot of tiny Earth in front of Jupiter's huge clouds, so here are some more. I pulled away as far as I could while still being able to decently zoom (about a trillion km) to minimise perspective effects, but Earth is still a bit smaller compared to Jupiter in reality than it seems here:
Next, I found messing with the exposure near a weak (T9) brown dwarf produces quite cool effects:
And finally, I've been exploring the beautiful galaxy NGC 55, and found loads of beautiful places.
There was even a moon that highly reminded me of Io!

| Quote (apenpaap) about a trillion km
A trillion kilometers is over 1/10 of a light year. The difference between apparent size in objects in close proximity (1 million kilometers or less) as seen from that distance would be imperceptible compared to viewing from an infinite distance.

| True, but Earth and Jupiter are about 600 mllion kilometres apart. Though the difference is still small, of course.
EDIT: Never mind, a quick calculation showed me it makes Earth look about twenty km larger. I guess you're right.

| Few years ago I had made an "artifical catalog" of largest bodies of our Solar system to compare their sizes. I don't include there the Sun and gas giants, because their huge size and rings will overlap all scene. To install this "addon", copy the script file to the "data/catalogs/planets" folder and add it to the universe.cfg. Note that SolarSys.sc and SolarSys3000.sc should be commented out, otherwise you will have two planets named Earth, Mars etc in Solar System (or SE will simply crash  ).
Code
PlanetsCatalogs // planets catalogs
(
...
"data/catalogs/planets/test-moons.sc"
//"data/catalogs/planets/SolarSys.sc"
//"data/catalogs/planets/SolarSys3000.sc"
...
)

Ah, I thought that you had modified the catalog and had Earth orbiting Jupiter. My mistake

| It's all smoke and mirrors, I left Earth right where I found it.

| A neat tidally locked planet with its star and has a few moons. Whats really neat is its a Terra but I lost the location because the program crashed.
I liked the look of it how the whole planet is frozen and dead besides the part facing the star.
Edit:
And suddenly after finding it I started finding similar planets everywhere
Different tidally locked planet but basically same idea
