Thats sooo cool, the name fits it perfectly too. I love the lights on the planet, and the dark clouds.

Only thing I don't like is the planet texture seems kinda low-res. But it's still miles ahead of myself in terms of space scenes. :)

Very nice dude, great improvement in your scenes.
A little tip though, once you've finished your scene, you should flatten it and give the stars/blurry patches a sharpen - only don't Filter it, brush it :)
I'll give you an example on that piece if you want.

Ok, I tried showing what I meant on your piece but wasn't as successful as I hoped but still, things look sharper.
I also duplicated the layer, Gaussian Blurred it, set it to Screen and set the Opacity to 60%.
It's easy things like this that can really add depth to a scene :).

Here is what resulted: Image

--

Also, just to go into what I meant with Sharpening a bit more.. here is a basic starfield.
I first made the field, added the blue then flattened the image.
Then just sharpened once and again.

Result: Image
To get an effect like this though, the image has to be flat, so it's pretty much your finishing touch.

Hope I helped!

That's amazing, I especially like the nebula cloud things, they look pretty real.

Damn, this is nice Xiion! love the colour theme and the starfield, my only concern is the harshness of the atmospheric light coming off the planet, maybe if it was lightly dimmed, or a bit more spread out, but for this I give you 10/10 :)
