Prompt:
A hyper-detailed, photorealistic nighttime scene of a silent space station orbiting a mysterious alien planet near the event horizon of a black hole. The vast cosmic background swirls with dark gravity distortions, shimmering gravitational lensing arcs, and distant nebulae rendered in pale violet, deep crimson, and glacial blue hues. The alien planet below is veiled in perpetual storm clouds and glowing lava fissures, with jagged mountain ridges and lightning flickering beneath the swirling clouds.
The space station—angular, brutalist, and partially cloaked in shadow—floats in silence, its skeletal structure lit by dim emergency lighting, lens flares, and blinking beacons reflected off polished metal and weathered solar panels. The hull is scarred and textured, covered in cryptic alien etchings, scorched residue, and fractured antennae. Fog-like vapor trails drift slowly from damaged exhaust ports, caught in the gravitational distortions of nearby space.
Composition inspired by the stark contrasts and modernist geometry of László Moholy-Nagy, the sharp black-and-white chiaroscuro of Ansel Adams, and the high-contrast surreal textures reminiscent of Thomas Ruff. Visual narrative layered with emotional intensity like Shirin Neshat and Nobuyoshi Araki, structured like a still life in space as seen by Candida Höfer, and composed with the spatial awareness and identity cues of Catherine Opie.
The overall atmosphere is tense, eerie, and meditative. Vast silence reigns, as if time itself distorts near the black hole. Ghostly space debris floats silently in the foreground. Faint reflections of the planet’s lava shimmer across the station’s curved windows. Subtle monochromatic shadows interweave with sharp specular highlights from artificial lights.
