Sunrise or sunset can be a breathtaking spectacle, and even serve as an inspiration for a work of art. But how would such a spectacle look if observed from another planet of our solar system? Perhaps you may find an answer to this question while browsing the following gallery composed of works by Ron Miller, an acclaimed illustrator and writer specializing in science, astronomy, science fiction and fantasy.
Surface of the sun.
Thick gas clouds make watching the sun from the surface of Venus a tricky endeavor.
A tiny shining speck - that's how the sun would look like if observed from the surface of Pluto.
It's not easy to see the sun from the surface of Mars due to dust storms that frequently sweep across the Red Planet. In this scene, however, the sky appears to be clear, and the vapor plumes rising from the geyser-like ice towers do little to obscure the view.
This is how sunset may look like on Saturn.
The sunrise on Mercury is at least nine times as bright as on Earth.
Ron Miller is an acclaimed American illustrator and writer who lives and works in South Boston, Virginia, whose original paintings can be found in numerous private and public collections.
