What planet is that?Yes.
Ever since i've seen this image:
I agree, that would be fantastic.I, on the other hand, have wondered what each of the gas giants would look like from any of their moons (the close in the better). It is the apparent size in the sky of those behemoths that I think would be awe inspiring.
I recommend you include me in your will before embarking on this endeavor.I'd stand on the north pole of Saturn. The giant hexagon "opens" the sky, allowing us to see deep into the atmosphere.

One thing which I always wondered is how brigth would it be at night sitting on the moon with sun-moon-planet in a line. Shouldnt it be qutie bright due the Gas Giant reflecting the light?
I often forget about this... The sun really is quite 'dim' in the outer planets.It should be, but if you're in the outer solar system it's important to remember that sunlight is greatly reduced.
