Update: Thanks for the comments, I'm glad a lot of people seem to like this image. As requested here's a brief explanation on how to make your little planets using photographs.
There are different ways of doing this, but here's one way that's probably the most straight forward. I will include a tutorial with images later but this should be helpful for now. 1- First you need a 360 panorama image. 2- Open the image in Photoshop and resize it to a 1:1 square image. 3- Rotate the image 180 degrees. 4- Go to Filter>Distort>Polar Coordinates and select Rectangular to Polar. 5- Your little planet should be ready now! Tips: -To make a clear sky like the photo above, you can slightly over-expose your photos or take photos in an overcast day to get a white sky.
Update 2: There are many resources about this technique. Create a Panorama - Exolucere.ca.
