Wow, that's a massively active solar storm. I feel sorry for whatever spaceship is close enough to photograph that.

I've done a bit of one-bit pixel art (mostly on my calculator in math class), and must say that these are quite nicely done. However, I do echo EyeCraft's questioning of the shading of the planet. It looks interesting, but it's kind of hard to tell what is what. I know there's only so much defining you can do with one bit, but a clearer shoreline (if those are indeed continents) would probably help define them as such. Anyway, these are really cool; I look forward to seeing more from you.
