Am I the only one around here who doesn’t think it looks like shit?

Geoscentific and ecological implications aside, they have a huge ass continent with multiple giant lakes and small peninsulas all around. With a comparable vegetation to earth, this would look amazing in person, I believe.

    What I'd actually like to know is how it was chosen. At that distance, we can't see anything from position and luminosity, and even the luminosity is rough to bake out of other bias. We're better at telling that there's a moon. Is this an artists rendition? It is a reasonable calculation due to age and plate tectonics?

    I don't hate it, but if it's just art for the sake of art, why not go earth-like?
