What If other planets replaced the moon?

Here's an animation to make you feel small, and also convey the deep awe I feel at the feet of the Universe.

So the basic idea is, each planet you see is the size it would appear in the sky if it shared an orbit with the moon, 380,000 kms from earth. This video was created in After Effects, and because of certain technical considerations had to keep the field of view at 62 degrees. That means the foreground element is not precisely to scale. All planets are to correct scale with one another in any case.
