I decided it needed some pterodactyls
There are more clouds; much of the planet is overcast. It's raining a LOT. That huge thing on the left is the Moon, which doesn't have any of its familiar features yet and is much, much closer to Earth. Then there are smoke trails of meteorites, which isn't realistic but people sort of expect them.
YESSSSSS
I know it's only a bit of fun, but how did the Moon get inside our atmosphere? 🌛
