Earth, Pluto and the Moon, artwork
Asteroid Ceres and Earth. Computer artwork showing the comparative sizes of the Earth (left), Ceres (middle) and the Moon (right). Ceres is the largest member of the asteroid belt, a large group of rocky and icy bodies orbiting in space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Ceres, with a diameter of 950 kilometres, is classified as a dwarf planet. It accounts for around a third of the mass of the asteroid belt. While Ceres is the most massive single object in the asteroid belt, it is quite small when compared with the Earth and moon

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Earth, Pluto and the Moon" takes us on a visual journey through our solar system. The print showcases the comparative sizes of three celestial bodies: Earth, Ceres, and the Moon. Against a striking black background, this illustration highlights the vastness of space and the diversity within it. On the left side of the image, we see our home planet Earth, with its familiar blue hues and swirling clouds. It serves as a reminder of both our insignificance in the grand scheme of things and our responsibility to protect this fragile oasis. In the middle stands Ceres, an intriguing dwarf planet that reigns as the largest member of the asteroid belt. With its diameter measuring 950 kilometers, Ceres accounts for a significant portion of mass within this rocky region between Mars and Jupiter. Finally, on the right side lies our faithful companion –the Moon– which appears comparatively smaller but no less enchanting. Its rugged surface symbolizes exploration possibilities yet to be fully realized. Through this stunning artwork by Science Photo Library's talented team, we are reminded not only of humanity's quest for knowledge about distant worlds but also how small we truly are in comparison to these celestial giants. This print invites us to contemplate our place in an awe-inspiring universe filled with wonders waiting to be discovered.
