Artwork of Saturn seen from its moon Titan
Saturn. Artwork of the planet Saturn, seen from Titan, one of its moons. The planets famous rings are composed 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 a stunning artwork of Saturn as seen from its moon, Titan. The majestic planet is renowned for its iconic rings, which are formed by countless orbiting dust and ice particles. What makes this artwork even more mesmerizing is the array of colors that adorn Saturn's atmosphere, caused by trace impurities in the hydrogen and helium gases. The horizontal banding visible on Saturn's surface unveils a complex system of wind currents that gracefully flow around the planet. As the sixth planet from the Sun and second-largest in our solar system, Saturn predominantly consists of hydrogen and helium gas. In contrast, its moons are primarily composed of icy formations intermingled with rocks. Among these celestial companions lies Titan, situated at an average distance of 1.2 million kilometers from Saturn—approximately three times farther than Earth's Moon orbits our home planet. This awe-inspiring image not only captures the beauty and grandeur of our cosmic neighborhood but also serves as a testament to human curiosity about distant worlds. With elements encompassing science, astronomy, artistry, cosmology, and planetary exploration all intertwined within this masterpiece captured by Science Photo Library—this print invites us to embark on an enchanting journey through space while igniting our imagination with wonderment about what lies beyond our own blue orb in the vastness of the universe.
