Comet passing a planet, artwork
Comet passing a planet, artwork. The planet is passing in front of (eclipsing) its parent star. Its moon (in its crescent phase) is at top left. Comets are bodies of ice and dust that enter the inner solar system from the outer solar system. As they approach the Sun, the heat boils the ice, producing a coma around the nucleus, along with a tail stretching out behind it

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures a mesmerizing celestial encounter between a comet, a planet, and its parent star. The scene unfolds with the planet gracefully passing in front of its blazing sun, causing an enchanting eclipse. At the top left corner of the image, we witness the moon in its delicate crescent phase, adding an ethereal touch to this cosmic spectacle. Comets, those icy bodies originating from the outer reaches of our solar system, make their way towards the inner solar system as they are drawn closer to our Sun's gravitational pull. As they approach their fiery destination, the intense heat causes their ice to evaporate into a luminous coma surrounding their nucleus. A magnificent tail stretches out behind them as they journey through space. This breathtaking illustration not only showcases scientific accuracy but also evokes feelings of wonder and awe for our vast universe. It reminds us of how interconnected and harmonious celestial bodies can be while igniting curiosity about these enigmatic phenomena. As we gaze upon this artwork by Science Photo Library, we are reminded that comets have long been associated with superstitions and omens throughout history. Their appearances were often seen as portents or signs from above. Yet today, thanks to advancements in astronomical research and planetary science, we can appreciate comets for what they truly are – beautiful remnants from our early solar system that continue to captivate us with their close approaches to Earth and stunning displays across our night sky.
