Copy this prompt
Use the tested version as-is, then customize the subject, style, lighting and mood in your image tool.
Create a cinematic realistic sci-fi scene of an adult astronaut standing on the surface of an alien planet and looking toward a massive glowing planet in the sky. Build the landscape with strange rock formations, blue mist, distant mountains, dust, stars, glowing horizon, cold alien moonlight, atmospheric haze, realistic spacesuit fabric, reflective helmet visor, and sharp foreground-to-background detail. Use a wide-angle lens, low perspective, deep depth of field, astronaut in the lower center, huge planet dominating the sky, dramatic scale, and a lonely majestic exploration mood.

Keep the astronaut lower in frame for stronger scale.
Use haze and mist to separate foreground and background.
Ask for realistic spacesuit fabric if the suit looks toy-like.
Reduce star detail if the sky becomes noisy.
FAQ
How do I make the planet look huge?
Place the astronaut low in the frame and state that the glowing planet dominates the sky.
Can this be a vertical poster?
Yes. Switch to 1024x1536 and ask for the planet above the astronaut with more sky space.
Why mention helmet reflections?
Reflective visor detail helps the astronaut feel physically present in the environment.
Can I add more astronauts?
You can, but one astronaut usually creates a stronger sense of loneliness and scale.
