Artwork of the orbits of the planets
Planetary orbits. Computer illustration of the orbits of the nine planets of the solar system. The Sun is at centre. The planets are (from the nearest to the furthest from the Sun): Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (blue, top right). Due to Plutos highly elliptical orbit, Neptune is sometimes the furthest planet from the Sun. The Sun produces a continuous stream of charged particles called the solar wind (white/light blue). The Sun and planets are not shown to scale

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning artwork depicting the intricate orbits of the planets in our solar system. Created through computer illustration, it offers a mesmerizing visual representation of our cosmic neighborhood. At the center of this celestial dance is the radiant Sun, emitting a continuous stream of charged particles known as the solar wind. From closest to furthest from the Sun, we witness Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune – and even Pluto makes an appearance in its distinct blue hue at the top right corner. However, due to Pluto's highly elliptical orbit around our starry centerpiece, Neptune occasionally takes on the role of being farthest from the Sun. It's important to note that while this artwork beautifully captures these planetary paths with precision and artistry; it does not represent their true scale. Nonetheless, it serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with cosmology and astronomy. This remarkable piece by Science Photo Library invites us to ponder upon our place in this vast universe and marvel at both its scientific wonders and artistic interpretations. It reminds us that there is still so much more to explore beyond what meets our eyes here on Earth.
