IMAGE DESCRIPTION: industrial asteroid with fog, old metal, and Armaggedon impact!

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:(sorry for my english)
I can say more about it, but what is really strange on that pictures création is:  The asteroid is a glass media sphere, with a plane heigfield on the center, but it looks like the heigfield is ON the sphere.
at the beginning i just want to create a "dome" on a city.
if you look at the heigfield surface you will see stars reflection on it , in fact it's reflection on the glass media shere.
The red "tache" at the bottom on the heigfield are also reflection on the sphere from the impact object!

I used some plugins, like galaxy and city from chris colefax, and a modified Pipe.inc (with new object i create like container) from G.Tran.
The impact himself is media object i made under moray.

Hope you like that dark city!
