Capricorn 1

High Resolution

In the year 2246, when technology is so advanced. Capricorn 1 is a top secret discovery mission. To come close to a feeding black hole, located in the star cluster P516, 6 light years away from earth. C1's mission is to go where no man can never come back. The Black Hole, a black hole is a dark floating sphere with the pull of gravity gone mad, in the vacuum of empty space. Black holes gravitational pull is so powerful, it can suck in light, and devouwer entire stars/sun's and planets. And what black holes can't swallow, it throws up in form of gas jets that shoots across the galaxy. C1 sets it's orbit around the planet called Sepiax. Sepiax is just at the perfect distance of 246 million miles from the black hole, where it doesn't feel it's gravity pull. Capricorn 1 can now start it's mission, to research on what's been a question for all the astronomers in the world for many years. Where doe's the stuff that goes in, comes out ???

Everything here I made from scratch except for the ship, witch is the source. On the ship I used a grunge texture. For the orange black hole, and the white jets shooting out, and the blue ion jets. I used brushes. And for the planet, I used levels, gradient and made of 3 textures.
