Planets/moons/Delfos - possible to make them visually look not so close?

Just looking at some of the amazing visuals coming out of the youtuber advent calendar style countdown updates (brilliant idea by the way). I saw one shot of Kemik and its moon with Delfos in the background and to be honest it looks like all three were right next to each other. It just looked a bit odd.

I was wondering, if there is anyway for the Verdure, Delfos, and Kemik (and Byblos when it comes) to be made to look like they are further in the distance from each other. So if I am on Verdure, Kemik and Byblos would just look like large stars in the night sky. If I am on Kemik, then Verdue and Byblos would look like distant celestial bodies.

Not asking for things to be moved further away, just wondering if there is some kind of graphical trick that can be used to give the player a sense that the planets are very far away.

At the moment, it often feels like the planets look so close that you could reach out and touch them.

I think planets and their moons should generally be much further apart. It looks really weird when the moon is almost the size of the planet and seems very close to it. It really kills the realism. Honestly, things like this make me not want to play SE2. In SE1, asteroids in the planets' gravity fields (and generally being too close to the planets) were a problem, but here it makes no sense for the moons to be so close to the planets.
