Description
The sun-like star HD168443 is orbited by both a massive planet and another bulkier object of 17 - 40 Jupiter masses. This large companion could be a planet or a dim failed star called a brown dwarf. Here the view is from a possible moon which is dry due to the lack of water.

Very cool Lynette! Brings me back to retro sci-fi scenery of Chesley Bonestell. Awesome!
Lynette Cook replied:
Thomas, Chesley Bonestell's work certainly is inspirational. Though I haven't tried to be "like him," my art has some similarity to his.

Hi Lynette, wow you are a very talented artist, I am sure you have put a lot of effort in over many years to get such results, these paintings really are out of this world, I like your earthly paintings too, well done. Regards Tim

Thank you for your comments, Tim. Yes, I've been very focused on art for the last 20+ years; I think it shows! I've enjoyed looking at your work too.
