No offense, but it looks like a Troll being Zotted.
Man I've been playing with Trolls too much.

Someday all our science fiction stories are going to look so quaint and humble.

Is it just light defraction,because of the distance, or does it look like that planet is in the sun's corona?

Will Colonel O'Neil please pick up the white courtesy phone?
In all seriousness, this is pretty cool!
Before anyone corrects me, yes, I do know it's General O'Neil

The system is young, so the planet is rather warm, like a bun fresh out of the oven... The planet is about 3,140 degrees Fahrenheit..
Mmmmm sounds yummy. Refractory dinner rolls.

What's with the red ring around Uranus?
