Hi Clipka, I think, I have to agree with you. The loading and display of
the image are not good. Point taken. Will host the image from now on one
of my websites and link here with a small thumbnail and URL. Even my own
newsgroup client (Mozilla Thunderbird) crashes sometimes while loading
the image. Not a good idea...

The planet:

I didn't even see that i missed a part of the planet when adding it to
this image. Did it after an entire night without sleep but working on
this scene. Yes, this is the target planet. It contains an ocean of a
liquid, and even better, that liquid is water, too! And even better,
this planet got an atmosphere, though it is not breathable for humans
without equipment or genetic/operative adaptions. I think, no Earth-like
planet we may discover in the entire future will already have an
atmosphere that can be breathed right away. I think, in all cases we
have to adapt - the atmosphere if the planet is uninhibited, or
ourselves if there is some sort of life there already. I believe,
mankind will develop, having then these special needs, scientific
knowledge how to change our own bodies through genetic engineering, or
to implant artificial organic or non-organic mechanisms into our bodies
that can do this extra job. No planet ever we will find, will be
"perfect to enter right away". There are too many factors in the
development of a planet, to create a perfect 2nd Earth. There will
always be differences. Even any animals there wouldn't be edible just
like that. And besides, who says, that on other inhabited planets there
are exactly the same divisions of life into bacteria, fungi, amoebas,
fauna and flora as here on this planet? our five "kingdomes" developed
based on the conditions of this planet. Expect different divisions on
other planets, though the extremities of life forms on other planets
will be of similar designs as gas, solid surfaces, and liquids fall
under the same physical rules applicable to movement. Wow, this is one
of my favorite subjects to discuss and exchange with others about, so I
better stop now. Otherwise I am writing here entire books...

Besides, I am actually writing a book. It is a scifi novel of a human,
stranded in a far far future 5 billion years from now, in a solar system
modified by its future inhabitants, encountering sentient life forms of
different development stages (culturally, technically, psychologically),
and also seeing the continued aging of the entire universe, and how
these different sentient life forms may have managed each in their own
way to live together or not. Lots of work still ahead, I am just on page
20... :-)
