Description Concept of an alien forest of a terraformed by humans located on a moon light years from Earth.
If you want to use the brushes I use, go to this link. fav.me/d62bwde

Also used fav.me/d1zxy5r to help add some texture to the trees.
I've also created a walk through for this piece. fav.me/d62cm00


Unlike Mars which solar stripping and other forms of atmospheric erosion will take tens of millions of years, which is a very easy problem to solve, just use self replicating nano tech or factories to keep the atmosphere buffed up.

A moon however even a large one like Luna (Earth's moon) would take 10s of thousands of years for stripping to make it nolonger suitable for human life without a space suit. To solve the problem, I propose building a global invisible dome to cover the entire moon, it can 1) sit above the atmosphere and orbit around the moon or 2)rest on top of the atmosphere (pillars if needed).

The dome needs neither pillars nor be in orbit around the moon to remain stable.

A shell enveloping the atmosphere is kept afloat by the atmospheric pressure beneath it. If one side sinks under gravity, the atmosphere will need to push the shell up on the other side of the moon. Only a perforated shell will deflate and begin to sink to the moon's surface.

Keeping the shell in orbit is therefore not essential.

Good point, this was written quite some time ago so some minor details are outdated. Yes, the laws of physics are more forgiving than I imagined. Atmosphere pressures could keep domes from caving in on themselves if they are set up properly.

Wow this is amazing. I have been working on a video game for a while and when it comes to the exploration of the World. This forest would be a beautiful part. I will give you full credit if you would please let me use this for a portion of it. I will give you more details about the game, and I'll freind you here.

Such atmosphere! I love the colors, the way everything stands alone and yet appears to blur into each other. This is a lovely ethereal piece. Just looking at this give a sense of being trapped and strangled by the indigenous plant life.
