Mood: Wow! ~jeturcotte Apr 26, 2012  Hobbyist Photographer
Very nice; interesting science, though: the Earth and Moon will reach mutually tidally locked positions to each other in between 1 and 2 billion years... meaning the same side of the earth will face the moon at all times just as one side of the moon always faces the earth as it does now... and at that time, the earth will also have ceased tectonically, shed most of its atmosphere and be a bit of a sedimentary rust-ball like Mars is... the moon will be about 40% further away than it is now, and the day will be, I forget, something like 42 current-days long... and all that about 2 to 3 billion years before the sun balloons into massive pre-deathness. Science is great.

Thanks! I know it isn't completely accurate (though some of the details you mentioned would be hard to portray in an image anyway). I wanted it to be recognizable as the Earth and Moon even though both would probably be completely different in appearance by then.

Haha no worries; I was more or less offering material for future inspiration rather than critique. Interestingly enough, as the earth's crust cools (as it is, even now to the point where a thunder-storms amount of water is being permanently trapped under the crust every year), plate tectonics will slow and eventually stop, but a few volcanic hotspots will kick up through for a while anyways (making giant volcanoes like olympus mons on mars.) But since volcanoes are a hugely important part of recycling the atmosphere, as they die out, the atmosphere will thin... and as the mantle/core dynamo dies down, the magnetic field will, too, meaning the protective shell we have against friction from the solar wind will go away, further stripping atmosphere away. All things that can potentially make good art interpretations someday maybe.

Thanks! I actually used elevation maps that included ocean trenches. I figured if the Sun got that big we'd probably have no oceans left (but decided not to take that all the way to complete cloud cover) :P
