This is a view from a star system I made in Space Engine, showing the giant planet Romlin, as seen from near the north pole of its Earthlike moon Rytha.
Like most moons, Rytha is tidally locked, meaning one side always faces the planet. As a result, from any point on the surface Romlin always stays in the same part of the sky and blocks out the suns at the same time every day.
Because of the relatively wide angle, this image doesn't do justice to how enormous Romlin appears. From Rytha it has an apparent size of about 22°, more than 40 times the apparently diameter of the moon seen from Earth. Nights on these parts of Rytha are quite bright.
This view was created in Space Engine, a free software by Vladimir Romanyuk.

Ah yes, blue UV light making the iconic blue haze. Been focusing on astronomy lately, an old hobby of mine. Calling people to bring me to observatories (I know peeps), buying a teloscope (again), and other stuff. Just getting back into it so excuse me if I make any mistakes. I'm a little rusty.
