Asteroid passing Jupiter
Asteroid passing Jupiter, artwork. Asteroids are large rocks left over after the solar system formed. They mostly have a diameter of less than a hundred kilometres. Most of the thousands of asteroids in the solar system lie in the asteroid belt between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. It is thought that the gravitational influence of Jupiter prevented a planet forming in the asteroid belt. The four largest Jovian moons (all seen) show evidence of asteroid impacts, and it is thought that Jupiters large mass attracts many rogue comets and asteroids, and so protects Earth from more frequent and devastating impacts

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the mesmerizing moment when an asteroid passes by the mighty planet Jupiter. The image showcases the beauty and vastness of our universe, reminding us of the wonders that lie beyond our own planet. Asteroids, remnants from the early days of our solar system, are depicted as large rocks floating in space. With diameters mostly under a hundred kilometers, these celestial objects hold valuable insights into our cosmic history. The majority of asteroids reside within the asteroid belt, situated between Mars and Jupiter's orbits. Interestingly, it is believed that Jupiter's gravitational force played a crucial role in preventing a planet from forming within this region. The four largest moons of Jupiter are also visible in this artwork, bearing evidence of past asteroid impacts. It is thought that due to its immense mass, Jupiter attracts numerous rogue comets and asteroids towards itself – acting as a protective shield for Earth against more frequent and potentially catastrophic collisions. As we gaze upon this illustration filled with moonlit shadows and distant stars from the Milky Way galaxy, we are reminded of how interconnected our solar system truly is. This print serves as a reminder not only of humanity's fascination with space but also highlights nature's ability to safeguard us amidst countless celestial bodies roaming through the cosmos.
