Solar System orbits, artwork C013 / 8987
Solar System orbits. Computer artwork of Earths solar system, showing the eight planets that orbit the Sun (yellow, centre). The eight planets, from inner to outer, are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Pluto, which was re-classified as a Dwarf planet in 2006, is furthest from the Sun. The asteroid belt is shown between Mars and Jupiter. Also shown are and the rings of Saturn and Uranus. The Milky Way, the band of stars that is our galaxy seen from the inside, is shown in the background

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate beauty and complexity of our Solar System's orbits. Created by artist Detlev van Ravenswaay, this computer artwork showcases Earth's solar system with the Sun at its vibrant yellow center. The eight planets gracefully encircle the Sun in perfect harmony - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Notably absent from this planetary lineup is Pluto, which was reclassified as a Dwarf planet in 2006. Positioned furthest from the Sun in this depiction, it serves as a reminder of our ever-evolving understanding of celestial bodies. The asteroid belt can be seen between Mars and Jupiter - a region teeming with rocky fragments that never coalesced into a full-fledged planet. Adding to the visual spectacle are the magnificent rings of Saturn and Uranus that adorn their respective gas giant hosts. Intriguingly placed against an ethereal backdrop is the Milky Way - our galaxy viewed from within. This band of stars provides context to our place in the vastness of space. Van Ravenswaay's meticulous attention to detail brings forth not only scientific accuracy but also artistic brilliance. This awe-inspiring illustration invites us to marvel at the wonders of astrophysics and planetary science while contemplating humanity's place among these celestial dancers.
