Today you are going to create your vision of what another world might look like.  We will use the program called Bryce to do our work.  To begin, look at the gallery of work by artist Lynette Cook to see what one artist has chosen to do.  When you are done, you might want to look at the video of the launch of NASA's probe to far away Pluto.  What do you think its cameras will see when it gets there.  Finally, research the planet or moon that you choose to depict.  What would the sky look like?  Does it have ground to stand on?  Oceans?  Clouds?  What would you see in the sky at night?  What would you see during the day?  Is there life?  Once you have answered those questions, use Bryce to create your own vision of what the world would look like.  Try to be accurate.
