My interpretation of #Haumea , a dwarf planet in the outskirts of solar system seen from one of it’s moons. It is known that Haumea has a dark red spot on it’s surface. Although unlikely, I liked the idea of it being an impact crater. I did this one before the ring was discovered.

Just finished this painting. Moon was much closer to Earth during Archean eon. It might even had an atmosphere. Which it was rapidly losing, getting it blasted off of a surface by a solar wind. It might have looked like a tail of a comet.

I am fascinated by the theory of tiny primordial black holes hitting solar system planets and moons and going through them as if they are barely there. Here's a painting of such blackhole# piercing through our moon and emerging on the other side, leaving a small, unusual crater.

During Hadean eon, Moon experienced a massive impact to it's south pole that formed Aitken impact basin. This is my interpretation of how it might have looked like from Earth.
