Nice flare ...

Very dramatic and realistic (though I think the sun would appear a bit larger from Venus...but this is Hollywood, after all...)

JeanneDeau, You piqued my interest in the Sun's radius as seen from each planet, so I went looking for that data. I found several scales. The Sun as seen from Venus is about 1.7 times the radius of that as seen from earth (and this depends on the orbit, sometimes planets are closer to the Sun). The planet is also not as accurate as I thought, Venus actually looks closer to white to the naked (optical) eye. I actually had an aura around my planet Venus and it looked closer to this image than I had imagined. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observations_and_explorations_of_Venus Venus has a thick atmosphere so any surface images you see on the Internet of Venus are actually rendered by radar data and not the naked (optical) eye. Did I go over board with the research? :) I am such a geek. Thanks for the comments to you both.
