Description
This was going to be my entry in the March Theme challenge, but the server glitched on me and it wasn't posted. Well, to be totally honest once I found out today that the picture didn't make it on, I tweaked and improved some of the things I wasn't satisfied with last night.
Planet X refers to Sedna, tenth solar planet discovered in November 2003. Why you may not have heard that we now have a tenth planet is because the scientist are still arguing weather it's a planet or a Kuiper belt object. As for me, I side with the planet group, because your adverage person is not going to say, "Kuiper belt object."
Used ChaosPro 3.2, Apophysis 2, Photoshop CS and of course Terragen.

Simplicity
Nice concept.

I agree - interesting notion and definitely unique. In my case, I don't think I'd have voted compared to the others just because there isn't really any noticeable geography - maybe if the terrain were less unusual and a little more recognizable as mountains, valleys, craters, etc... Once again though, unique thought.

Cool!!! Even put in the gridelines and everything. I must disagree with kokob. I don't know what voting he is talking about, but mountains and valleys are present in this picture. The picture is obviously from an orthographic (perpendicular to the surface) POV, as most satilite pictures are. Look kinda like a cross between Jupiter's moon Europa (http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA01407) and recent inages of Saturn's moon Titan (http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA06204).
