[331] Gas Giant with Earthlike Moon — This illustration by Don Dixon depicts a large, banded gas giant planet partially eclipsed by a smaller, terrestrially active moon. The moon features a visible atmosphere with complex cyclonic cloud patterns and surface features suggestive of liquid oceans and continental masses. Both bodies are set against a dense starfield, with the gas giant exhibiting atmospheric turbulence and a distinct terminator line.
