Artists impression of view from the asteroid belt
Artists impression of a view from within the asteroid belt, which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Two rocky, cratered asteroids are seen at upper left and lower right and the Sun and the planet Mars are seen in the distance at right. The Sun is surrounded by a halo which is elongated into two spikes at upper right and lower left. This is due to the reflection of the Suns light by dust lying within the plane of the solar system. The effect is visible from dark sites on Earth and is known as the zodiacal light

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artist's impression of the breathtaking view from within the asteroid belt, a region nestled between Mars and Jupiter. The image transports us to this celestial neighborhood, where two rocky asteroids with their distinctive craters dominate the upper left and lower right corners of the frame. As we gaze into the distance on the right side, our eyes are drawn to both the radiant Sun and the enigmatic planet Mars. However, what truly mesmerizes in this composition is a remarkable phenomenon surrounding our life-giving star. The Sun appears encircled by a halo that stretches out into elongated spikes at its upper right and lower left extremities. This ethereal spectacle is caused by dust particles scattered throughout our solar system's plane reflecting sunlight—a breathtaking display known as zodiacal light. Such a sight can be observed from dark locations here on Earth, adding an extra layer of wonder to this cosmic vista captured by Science Photo Library. With its fusion of artistry and scientific accuracy, this print invites us to contemplate humanity's place in space while marveling at nature's awe-inspiring beauty.
