The planet grew on the screen in front of them.
The planet grew larger than she had ever seen it.
The planet grew in their screens, and Joe watched for signs of attack.
Below him, the planet grew vast, and filled every horizon with its dark immensity.
The view returned to normal and the planet grew in the center of the screen.
The planet that had suddenly appeared before him grew steadily and quickly until it filled the viewer's field of vision almost completely.
As the planet grew smaller, its sun had popped into view, bright and foreboding.
He did not see the planet grow to twice the size of Earth.
The planet is growing smaller and its residents more interdependent by the day.
