Temptation ©2008 Alexei Kozachenko
------------------------------------------------


A planet slowly degenerating from a once lush world to an arid desert. The water vapor and atmosphere are slowly blown away as the planets magnetic field has dissolved and its surface is fully vulnerable to the harsh effects of solar wind.

In a few more decades, the last of life will be parched and dissapear.

At least parts of the texture on the foreground planet is from the sahara desert (just looked through my nasa stocks and recognized that green patch on yoúr planet). But really good nonetheless.

Agreed, especially since most planets in space are not lush, green planets (though with the proper editing can be made to look like that).
