** "Literature/ThroughTheGatesOfTheSilverKey'': The planet Yaddith is lit by five "multicolored suns".

* ''Franchise/CthulhuMythos'': One story involves the World of Seven Suns which, as its name suggests, is orbited by seven artificial suns.

** ''Film/ANewHope'' has Luke framed against a simple but gorgeous [[BinarySuns twin sunset]]. It's the first shot in the film to really drive home the point that this isn't Earth, and succeeds spectacularly, despite being one of the film's simplest effects: it's just a double exposure of a real sunset. It also features the rebel base on an Earth-like moon of Yavin 4 orbiting the red gas giant Yavin Prime, which looms in the sky above the base.

%%* ''Film/DamnationAlley'': A symptom of the recently-fought [[WorldWarIII nuclear war.]] %%Example needs explanation to make sense on its own.

* The wreckage of the destroyed Moon in In ''Film/Oblivion2013'', Earth's sky becomes alien after the destruction of the Moon, %%Example needs explanation to make sense on its own.

%%* The wreckage of the destroyed Moon in ''Film/Oblivion2013''. %%Example needs explanation to make sense on its own.

* ''Film/Dune1984'': Arrakis' natural satellites Krelln and Arvon are depicted as similarly sized moons due to Krelln being farther.
** In the [[Film/Dune2021 2021 adaptation]] Krelln is more faithfully depicted as the much bigger moon with the "Hand of God" craters being clearly visible from its surface. In some scenes the two moons partially block out the sun Canopus together making it temporarily appear alien [[https://i.pinimg.com/736x/b4/41/89/b4418937d8d1e08133037f198adb66dd.jpg too]].

* In ''Film/DunePartTwo'', Giedi Prime (the polluted Harkonnen planet) in daylight is shown to have a milky white sky with a black sun. The light from said sun washes out the color of anything it lands on, so that [[DeliberatelyMonochrome everything appears gray or pure white]].

%%* ''Film/CloudAtlas'': At the end, this trope appears to show that an aging Zachry is narrating his tale [[spoiler:from one of the off-world colonies long after being rescued]]. %%Example needs explanation to make sense on its own.
