Default Picture of the Astral Plane

Does anyone have a picture of the Astral Plane? I just need a picture to show someone what it looks like.

Thanks in advance.

Purple is for casting spells of the Thread subtype (like Raise Thread).

Oh, and you can call me Lestro, if you prefer.

It's really just equivalent to the night's sky? It's a big empty black space with starry spots visible. It's pretty much just space.

If only it were that simple. If I remember correctly from the Dungeon Master's Guide, it's actually silvery-white with those weird colour pools that function as portals.

My apologies for not managing to find anything,
I briefly considered getting out a silver pencil and just colouring in a piece of blank paper, but our scanner is broken.

Edit: Oh, and there's also haze and clouds.
However, still no pictures.

Edit2: After being inspired by the weather earlier, I was struck by inspiration.
These are the closest I could find:
Spoiler

These are, of course, much cloudier than the Astral Plane is usually.
And nowhere near silver enough.

I think the Giant's depiction is the most accurate I've ever seen.

The DMG says its an endless silvery clear sky, with random tube-shaped clouds and spinning splotches of color. With this picture.

That brings to mind pictures of space where they use radio-vision so you can see the gas clouds and the different colors of stars, except silver instead of black.

Personally, I can't help but imagine the gaps inside of storm clouds.
