Looks pretty cool, The gas giant has a unique look that gives the impression that the gas that makes it up is very loosly packed, as if some of it is drifting off into space, but that might just be an illusion with the halo effects

What is that drak, fuzzy sphere in fron of it though, it seems to be wedged in between the two sets of rings, is it just a really dark moon?

Greetings and thank you for looking so carefully at this one . . . Yes, it is an illusion. .. the halo effect I created was intended to give this particular appearance . . . ethereal, glowing . . . like a halo. The dark fuzzy sphere is indeed a moon which is transiting/partially eclipsing the gas giant between a major ring division. It is dark for several reasons . . . It is silhouetted against the larger/brighter gas giant, it is in waxing crescent phase (not discernable due to the brighter gas giant and the halo effects), and it is surface is made of dark matter/gases which you can see glowing with a red atmospheric "halo" . . . one of the multiple reasons I entitled this "Cosmic Haloes." I wanted the overall effect to be gaseous, ethereal; mystical . . . I am sure you understand . . . This one is rather a departure from most of my traditional art . . .

Ahh, I see...I wouldn't have thought of that, so I think it's safe to say that your'e the first artsit I've seen illustrate such an event and yes, it really does have an eerie and soft, misty look to it

Yes, you are correct. . . I also am unware of anyone who has illustrated a similar event. My objective is to create images that illustrate diverse astronomical phenomena in the Universe which would be difficult, perhaps impossible, for most people to mentally conceptualize otherwise . . . Thus my "Galactic Visions."

Cool. From the smaller veiw, I was almost suspecting it to be a futuristic space port or something. But I guess that was just my way of thinking. This is VERY nice. Great job. And it's a good title for it too.
