Features a lot of small planettes that have super dense cores making it possible to have a very tiny area, but an Earth-like atmosphere.

No, probably “Le petit prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

If I recall correctly, there were a couple of ads with these types of pictures in popular science a year or so ago. Cant remember what the ads were for, I think maybe atv’s or chewing tobacco, but in any case, they did a nice job.
