Β©Max-WD 2011-2015. For personal nonprofit use only. Property ofΒ Max-WD. All rights reserved.Created using Photoshop CS5. I wanted to create a space scene with a Blue Giant. I wanted to keep the scene simple so that most of the focus is on the massive star. The planet texture used on the small earth like planet is my own, which I created by merging numerous rock textures.
Faves, comments, and downloads all appreciated.

You may be on to something here. According to Joel Kastner of the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York: "Our data suggest that the planet-forming process may be hardier than previously believed, occurring around even the most massive (blue) stars that nature produces."

The star have a awesone look,and the planet(Likely,so hot like a oven),also is pretty!

I love sci-fi concepts
I wonder what type of planets would exists around them.
Perhaps a rocky planet like ours if orbited close enough to be vaporized, because all the rock on it's surface would be turned into a gas and perhaps obtain temperatures beyond the temperature of even our Sun.

Yeah when considering facts about blue stars this one is definitely sci-fi!

I wonder if our Earth were to exist within 1 AU from a blue hyper giant, say one 500,000-5,000,000 the luminosity of the Sun, and the surface temperature exceeds 10 or even 25 thousand degrees F would the gravity of the Earth be able to hold itself together.
We have discovered planets which are over 6,000 degrees F, hotter than some Red Dwarf stars though O.o.

I read about a rocky planet, 4.4 lights away, that has surface temperatures of about 1,200 degrees. Six thousand degrees! Incredible! That's as hot as the surface temperature of our sun!

I actually did a calculation and to be habitable an earth like planet would need to be about 3,000 A.U. O.o and that is or a planet orbiting a O type star 4,000,000x suns luminosity.
There was a fun calculator somewhere on the internet to calculate stuff like that. Can't find it anymore, but I remembered the numbers.
There are however multiple stars with dust swirling and blowing away from them within one solar system which collectively have luminosity of 40,000,000x of ours.
Damn.

Damn, that is luminous!

Hi! I really like this pic! I was just wondering if you have any plan to just a pic of the star it self?

Hi! Thank you! I have no plans to do another picture with this star on it's own. I might use it in another space scene in the future though. However, that won't be for a while.

Thank you! I had a lot of fun making this one.
