Artwork of the solar system
Solar system. Artwork of the solar system, showing the paths (blue lines) of the nine planets as they orbit around the Sun. The four inner planets are (from inner to outer): Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Around the inner solar system is a broad belt containing thousands of minor planets (asteroids). The five outer planets are (inner to outer): Jupiter (lower right), Saturn (lower left), Uranus (upper centre), Neptune (upper right) and Pluto (far right, a Dwarf planet). The star clouds of our galaxy, the Milky Way, appear as a broad luminous band at upper right

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork of the solar system beautifully illustrates the intricate paths followed by our nine planets as they orbit around the radiant Sun. The four inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are depicted in their respective order from inner to outer orbits. Surrounding this inner solar system is a vast belt teeming with thousands of minor planets known as asteroids. Moving towards the outer regions, we encounter five majestic giants that dominate this cosmic dance. Jupiter commands attention in the lower right corner while Saturn gracefully occupies the lower left. Uranus takes its place at the upper center with Neptune elegantly positioned beside it on the upper right side. Lastly, Pluto makes an appearance as a Dwarf planet on the far right edge. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, we cannot help but be reminded of our place within our galaxy - represented here by luminous star clouds forming a broad band at upper right: The Milky Way itself. This awe-inspiring artwork not only showcases celestial beauty but also serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable curiosity about what lies beyond our home planet. It invites us to ponder and explore these distant realms where countless mysteries await discovery.
