Solar system planetary orbits, artwork
Solar system planetary orbits, artwork. The Sun is at centre, with planetary orbits marked by blue ellipses. The four rocky planets of the inner solar system, moving outwards from the Sun, are: Mercury, Venus, Earth (with its Moon), and Mars. The asteroid belt is next, followed by the four gas giant planets of the outer solar system (all with their largest moons shown): Jupiter (lower left), Saturn (lower right), Uranus (upper left, ringed), and Neptune (top left). Beyond Neptune is the Kuiper Belt (top left corner). In the background at right is the Milky Way. The distances between the planets is not to scale

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning artwork captures the intricate beauty of our solar system's planetary orbits. At the center, we find the radiant Sun, surrounded by a series of blue ellipses representing each planet's path around it. Starting from the innermost region and moving outward, we encounter Mercury, Venus, Earth accompanied by its faithful Moon, and Mars - all four rocky planets that make up our inner solar system. Next in line is the asteroid belt, a vast expanse filled with countless celestial bodies. Beyond this point lie the majestic gas giants of our outer solar system. The lower left corner showcases mighty Jupiter with its largest moons on display while Saturn graces us with its presence in the lower right corner. In contrast to their vibrant colors, Uranus appears in an upper left position adorned with rings encircling its enigmatic form. Finally, Neptune completes this cosmic dance as it takes its place at the top left corner. Stretching beyond Neptune lies the Kuiper Belt - a mysterious realm teeming with icy objects that holds many secrets yet to be unveiled. And if you cast your gaze towards the background at right, you will catch a glimpse of our home galaxy: The Milky Way. While not drawn to scale due to immense distances between these celestial bodies, this artwork serves as a reminder of both our insignificance and boundless curiosity about what lies within and beyond our own Solar System.
