Gas Giant and Moon on the Edge of a Nebula

More photo manipulation/digital space art. The gas giant is all digital while the glowing nebula edge and small moon are both photo manipulations. The star field is a Hubble space telescope shot of Messier 67.

I'm not sure I have a lot to say about this one. It was fun (as they all seem to be) and I really enjoy the colors. They are very soothing and inviting which is ironic if one considers the amount of radiation that would be pouring off this gas giant and out of this nebula would make this a quite inhospitable place to be.

Blue gas (from the "nebula") is commonly associated with hydrogen (a fundamental building block of stars) and the blue gas giant implies a bit of a failed star. Rather an accumulation of hydrogen that did not have the requisite mass to undergo nuclear fusion and ignite into a star.
In reality there would be a lot of other gases mixed in and the gas giant wouldn't really appear to be so blue. A perfect example of this is the planet Jupiter. A gas giant and the largest planet in our solar system, it is widely believed by astronomers and physicists that it is a failed star. Despite the fact that EVERY other planet in the solar system could fit inside the space Jupiter displaces it lacked the required mass (and thus internal gravitational pressure) to ignite into a star.

I guess I did have a lot to say about this after all...
