Earth as seen from the Moon

Published:
4.5K Views

Description

June 2014.
100x80 centimeters. 

Semi-terraformed lunar landscape from the year 25,000.
The lunar soil has been oxidized and weathered by the new conditions, so it's no longer sharp and grey. This new Moon is still a dry and dusty world, and sandstorms are very frequent due to the low gravity, high atmospheric density (.5 atm) and the strong wind currents caused by the great temperature differential between the night and day sides (The lunar "day" lasts 2 Earth weeks, so the night side gets very cold and the day side very hot.)
Most of the surface is still desert and devoid of plant life, and the atmosphere is mainly nitrogen and carbon dioxide, without enough oxygen to sustain higher lifeforms.
There are no birds, no insects and no human voices: just the sound of the wind.

However, the terraformation will continue until the Moon becomes a sister world to Earth, a lush and beautiful garden of terraformed paradise where baseline-humans and animals will be able to walk and breath and live.
