Saturn. Artwork of the planet Saturn and its moons seen from space. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun. It has a diameter nearly ten times that of Earth and a volume of over 800 Earths. It is a gas giant and is mostly hydrogen and helium. High pressures and temperatures give rise to liquid hydrogen in the interior. The outer surface clouds are coloured by trace chemical elements. Saturn has a large ring system, consisting of thousands of rock and ice chunks, probably from a moon that disintegrated. Saturn has over 30 moons, of which the largest is Titan (upper right). The Milky Way is seen in the background

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic beauty of Saturn, our sixth planet from the Sun. With a diameter almost ten times that of Earth and a volume equivalent to over 800 Earths, Saturn truly reigns as a colossal gas giant in our solar system. The artwork provides an awe-inspiring view of Saturn and its numerous moons, all seen from the vastness of space. The planet's outer surface is adorned with vibrant clouds, their colors derived from trace chemical elements swirling within its atmosphere. Deep within Saturn's interior lies liquid hydrogen, formed by intense pressures and temperatures. However, it is perhaps the magnificent ring system that steals the show in this image – thousands of rock and ice chunks encircle the planet like celestial jewelry. Amongst these moons, Titan takes center stage in the upper right corner. As Saturn's largest moon, Titan holds great scientific interest due to its unique characteristics and potential for harboring extraterrestrial life. In this cosmic masterpiece captured by Science Photo Library, we are also treated to a glimpse of our very own Milky Way galaxy shimmering softly in the background. This stunning illustration not only highlights Saturn's grandeur but also serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable curiosity about our universe and all its wonders.
