Description
Further explorations into the unknown can be seen in my DA "Space Art" gallery:
lexlothor.deviantart.com/galle…
I have recently gone on a binge of speculations on the possibility of having a habitable earth-like world in orbit about a gas giant. Please follow the links below to see some of these other images.
This is a view of an extrasolar gas giant and its inner most moon Pele' as seen from the north pole of its second earth+ sized moon Pacifica. Pele' is about the size of Mercury. It undergoes tidal friction that makes its interior extremely hot. Like Jupiter's moon Io it is constantly resurfacing itself through volcanic eruptions. These volcanoes extrude dense basaltic just as that found on Earth, Venus and Mars. Because Pele' is so much more massive than Io, its gaseous extrusions do not reach escape velocity. Its magnetic field allows it to maintain an atmosphere of noxious components.
