Photographic Print : Asteroid belt
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Asteroid belt
Asteroid belt, computer artwork. Asteroids are large rocks left over from the formation of the solar system. Most of the thousands of asteroids in the solar system lie in the asteroid belt, a region about 180 million kilometres wide, between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. It is thought that the asteroid belt did not form into a planet because the gravitational pull of Jupiter prevented the formation of large bodies. Most of the asteroids are less than 100 kilometres across. The mass of the asteroid belt is estimated to be a thousandth that of Earth. The asteroids are spread over a large volume, with an average separation of around 6 million kilometres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the asteroid belt, a celestial wonder that holds remnants from the birth of our solar system. Created through intricate computer artwork, it offers a glimpse into this vast region located between Mars and Jupiter. Countless asteroids, resembling large rocks suspended in space, populate this expansive belt spanning approximately 180 million kilometers wide. The gravitational influence of mighty Jupiter prevented these celestial bodies from coalescing into a planet during their formation. Instead, they remain scattered throughout this immense volume with an average separation of around 6 million kilometers. The majority of these asteroids are relatively small, measuring less than 100 kilometers across. However, their collective mass is estimated to be merely a thousandth that of Earth's. This image captures the essence of their rocky nature as they orbit gracefully within the confines of their cosmic neighborhood. As we delve deeper into cosmology and explore our universe's mysteries, photographs like this one serve as invaluable tools for astronomers and enthusiasts alike. Through its detailed illustration and scientific accuracy provided by Science Photo Library, we can appreciate both the grandeur and intricacy present within our solar system's dynamic tapestry.
