Solar system planets
Solar system planets. Artwork of the eight planets of the solar system arrayed from right to left in order of their distance from the Sun. The size of each planet is to scale. The four small, rocky planets of the inner solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The four large, gas giant planets of the outer solar system are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. In August 2006, Pluto (not shown) became a Dwarf planet. Planetary rings and moons are shown. The planet Uranus is seen tipped on its side due to an impact event in its early history. The Milky Way galaxy is shown in the background at right

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty and complexity of our solar system. From right to left, the eight planets are displayed in perfect order according to their distance from the Sun. The accuracy of this artwork is truly remarkable, as each planet's size is depicted to scale. The inner solar system showcases four small, rocky planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Moving towards the outer solar system, we encounter the four magnificent gas giants: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus (noticeably tipped on its side due to a past impact event), and Neptune. Notably absent from this image is Pluto which was reclassified as a Dwarf planet in August 2006. However, what makes this print even more captivating are the planetary rings and moons that adorn several of these celestial bodies. As you admire this breathtaking scene against the backdrop of our Milky Way galaxy at right, it becomes evident just how vast and awe-inspiring our universe truly is. This illustration serves as a reminder of humanity's ongoing exploration into space and our continuous quest for knowledge about these distant worlds. This extraordinary piece by Science Photo Library beautifully combines artistry with scientific precision to offer us an unparalleled glimpse into our cosmic neighborhood - a testament to both human curiosity and ingenuity.
