This is a scene that I made for a Facebook banner for myself. Includes realistic Earth, Moon and the Normal, Diffuse and spec textures in the download. Enjoy! :)

Yeah they need a better image system. Most of mine are cut off.
yeah, it's kind of awkward. but you can counter this by setting your render to 1024x1024 or like me 1280x1280 (i guess whichever square will work) and then compose your scene. i do this especially for BlendSwap screenshot...;-)
I guess but then the preview would look different from the final. But I'll do it anyway. Thanks :)
yeah, but then again, anyone can setup the camera the way they like once they download blend file. that's my philosophy anyway. :-)) my thinking is, it's content that's important, this image is for preview only...
Building a pre-cropper is gonna take me quite a while, I give you no warranties whatsoever :)
OH WOW!! this is EXACTLY what i was looking for. AWSOME WORK! One question, the pictures included (textures, maps etc..). I assume you have created them? I am asking because i need to be sure they are published with the same license as the blend file :)
Thank you VERY much for sharing this!!!!
The moon diffuse texture was a free texture and the the rest were generated by me :) The Earth texture was also free from NASA. Thanks for the feed back!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Here is how i used your model :) https://vimeo.com/83261266 I readapted it to cycles, so in the end i only used your texture images, but i credited it to you in its entirety anyway :) You rock!
ah... before i forget: let me know if you want the cycles version, i read something about belndswap having too many earth models, so i can put it on my VPS for you if you fancy it :)
Dam it! Can't see the moon in the thumb nail. Wish there was a cropping option before you upload :/
