Saturn seen from its moon Titan
Saturn. Artwork of the planet Saturn, seen from the atmosphere of Titan, one of its moons. The planets famous rings consist of orbiting dust and ice particles. The different colours of Saturn are caused by trace impurities in the atmosphere of hydrogen & helium. The planets horizontal banding reveals the system of wind currents which flow around the planet. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun, and is the second-largest in the solar system. Saturn is mostly composed of hydrogen and helium gas, whilst its moons are largely made of ice and rocks. Titan orbits Saturn at an average distance of 1.2 million kilometres, about three times the Moons distance from Earth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking view of Saturn as seen from its moon Titan. The artwork beautifully captures the planet's iconic rings, composed of orbiting dust and ice particles. The vibrant colors of Saturn are a result of trace impurities in its hydrogen and helium-filled atmosphere. The image also reveals the distinct horizontal banding on Saturn's surface, which unveils the intricate system of wind currents that encircle the planet. As the sixth planet from the Sun and second-largest in our solar system, Saturn is predominantly comprised of hydrogen and helium gas. In contrast, its moons consist primarily of icy formations intermingled with rocky structures. Titan, one such moon, gracefully orbits around Saturn at an average distance of 1.2 million kilometers – approximately three times farther than Earth's Moon is from our own planet. This mesmerizing photograph not only offers a glimpse into the wonders of space but also serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with celestial bodies. With its fusion of science, astronomy, artistry, and cosmology captured by Science Photo Library, this print invites us to marvel at both the vastness and intricacy present within our universe – reminding us just how small we truly are in comparison to these cosmic wonders.
