The epic scope of the universe sometimes inspires us to ask answerless questions. What would happen if the sun just blinked out? What if Mars took the place of our moon? The laws of nature prevent these things from happening, but still, we wonder.
Feed your imagination with this set of photos, which substitute a number of familiar planets for our satellite. Enjoy the peaceful views, because if these images were real, you wouldn't have long before some cataclysmic celestial collisions; we would probably crash into Jupiter within a day.
Luckily, none of this will happen. But still, it's fun to look and ask "What if." First, here's a refresher, just in case you forgot what the moon looks like:
Venus
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
