Observing the planets
Observing the planets. Conceptual computer artwork of an astronomical observatory (lower centre), and a montage of the nine planets of the solar system. This may represent the use of astronomical devices to study and observe the planets. The observations are done using different wavelengths of light that include visible light, infrared, radio, microwaves and X-rays. The planets are (clockwise spiral): Earth (above the observatory), Mars, Venus, Mercury, Neptune, Jupiter, Pluto, Uranus and Saturn

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Observing the Planets" takes us on a mesmerizing journey through our solar system. The conceptual computer artwork showcases an astronomical observatory nestled in the lower center, surrounded by a stunning montage of the nine planets. As we delve into this image, we witness the marvels of scientific exploration and observation. Astronomical devices are employed to study these celestial bodies using various wavelengths of light, including visible light, infrared, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays. This multi-spectrum approach allows scientists to uncover hidden secrets and gain deeper insights into each planet's unique characteristics. The clockwise spiral arrangement begins with Earth majestically positioned above the observatory – our home among this cosmic dance. Mars follows suit with its rusty red hue, while Venus radiates its ethereal beauty nearby. Mercury shines brightly as it orbits closer to the Sun. Further out in space lie Neptune's mysterious blue depths and Jupiter's awe-inspiring storms swirling amidst its vibrant bands. Pluto makes an appearance despite being reclassified as a dwarf planet but still holds a special place in our hearts. Uranus exhibits its icy elegance encircled by Saturn's magnificent rings that captivate both astronomers and enthusiasts alike. Through this extraordinary artwork from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity about the universe surrounding us. It serves as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding within astrophysics and astronomy realms - forever expanding our horizons beyond what was
