Fun With Perspective of the Day: Brad Goodspeed uses After Effects to imagine what our night sky might look like if other solar bodies occupied the space currently reserved for the moon.

So the basic idea is, each planet you see is the size it would appear in the sky if it shared an orbit with the moon, 380,000 kms from earth. I created this video in After Effects, and because of certain technical considerations had to keep the field of view at 62 degrees. That means the foreground element is not precisely to scale. I realized this after the fact and may update the video at some point in the future. All planets are to correct scale with one another in any case.
