Russia’s national space agency has released two videos showing what the sky would look like, were Earth located elsewhere in the universe. One video shows our skies populated by other stars than the sun. Alpha Centauri, for example, would look twice the size of our sun. Polaris, meanwhile, would take up half the sky.

In another visualization, RosCosmos shows what the sky would look like, if the Earth replaced the moons of the other planets in our solar system. We even get a view of the Earth, from the perspective of the Moon.
