Pluto and Charon and Kuiper Belt
Pluto and Charon. Artwork of the planet Pluto and its moon Charon (right) seen from space with some other Kuiper Belt objects. Pluto, the most distant planet from the Sun, has a diameter of less than a fifth of Earth s. Charon, at only half its size, makes this a double planet system. Little is known about these worlds, which are yet to be visited by spacecraft from Earth. Surface temperatures are below -200 degrees Celsius. Some astronomers consider Pluto as the largest object in the Kuiper Belt, rather than a true planet. The Kuiper Belt is a cloud of icy rocks orbiting beyond Pluto. The Milky Way is seen in the background

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic world of Pluto and its moon Charon, set against the backdrop of the vast Kuiper Belt. The artwork depicts these distant celestial bodies as seen from space, with other objects from the Kuiper Belt scattered around them. With a diameter less than a fifth of Earth's, Pluto is considered the most distant planet from the Sun. Its companion, Charon, half its size, creates a mesmerizing double planet system. Despite their allure, both worlds remain shrouded in mystery as no spacecraft has yet ventured to explore them. Surface temperatures on these icy terrains plummet below -200 degrees Celsius, making them extreme environments for any potential exploration missions. Controversy surrounds Pluto's classification as some astronomers argue that it should be regarded as the largest object within the Kuiper Belt rather than a true planet. Speaking of which, this belt consists of countless icy rocks orbiting beyond Pluto itself. The breathtaking image also captures glimpses of our own Milky Way galaxy in the background—serving as a reminder that we are but tiny specks in an expansive universe full of wonders waiting to be discovered. This illustration beautifully combines artistry and scientific knowledge to ignite our curiosity about these farthest reaches of our solar system where craters and rocky landscapes dominate amidst freezing temperatures—a truly awe-inspiring sight indeed!
