How difficult is it to predict how different light sources would interact with our atmosphere? In all these photos it just looks like the colors were shifted, but I don't know if that's not how it would look like if it was a more sophisticated method (for all I know it could have been)

That was my impression, too. It looks like it's just scale and general color. Also what's the source image and why is it so pixelated? Would love to see simulated alternate night skies from other parts of the galaxy.

    Maybe the mods will be kind enough to replace the OP's post URL with this one.

Not very hard, once you know how to do it. No idea if it's been done correctly here though.

Agreed. It's nice to know that we'd still have plenty of liquid water with Aldebaran! Good!

  If there was an Earth-like planet around Aldebaran, it'd have formed at an orbit far-enough out for it to be an Earth-like planet, no? On the other hand, if our own star got replaced, instantaneously, with Aldebaran... we'd just fall in. :)
