Eris, artwork
Eris. Computer artwork of the dwarf planet Eris, formerly known as 2003 UB313 or Xena. Eris is the largest known dwarf planet. A dwarf planet is defined as an object large enough to be spherical due to its gravity, and with an independent orbit around the sun (ie. not a satellite of a planet). A true planet has to dominate its orbit around the Sun. Eris fails because it is one of many objects in the outer solar system

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases Eris, the enigmatic dwarf planet that has fascinated astronomers and space enthusiasts alike. Formerly known as 2003 UB313 or Xena, Eris takes center stage in this computer-generated illustration. With its spherical shape resulting from gravity and an independent orbit around the sun, Eris meets the criteria to be classified as a dwarf planet. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the vastness and complexity of our solar system. Eris's size alone makes it the largest known dwarf planet, residing among numerous objects in the outer reaches of our celestial neighborhood. It is not merely a satellite of another planet but rather holds its own place in orbit. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its scientific representation. Through meticulous attention to detail, Science Photo Library brings us closer to understanding Eris's role within our cosmic tapestry. Let this mesmerizing print transport you into the depths of space exploration and ignite your curiosity about distant worlds beyond Earth's boundaries. Whether you're an astronomy enthusiast or simply appreciate stunning visuals inspired by scientific discoveries, this artwork serves as a reminder that there is still so much left to explore and uncover within our ever-expanding universe.
