Earth, Sun and Moon
Earth, Sun and Moon. Artwork of the Earth, Sun and Moon seen from space. Earth is centred on Europe. Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is thought to be the only planet in the solar system that can support life. The Moon (upper centre) has a diameter just over a quarter of the Earth s. It orbits at a distance of around 385, 000 kilometres, taking nearly 30 days for one orbit. It does not have an atmosphere and is a heavily cratered and barren piece of rock. The Earth-Moon system orbits the Sun (upper right) at a distance of 150 million kilometres. Nebulae (some in the background) are the birthplace of the stars and their planets

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Earth, Sun and Moon" showcases the breathtaking beauty of our planet, its celestial companions, and the vastness of space. From a perspective outside our atmosphere, we witness Earth at the center with Europe prominently displayed. As the third planet from the Sun, it holds a unique distinction as being potentially capable of sustaining life. The Moon takes its place in the upper center of this image, revealing its diameter to be just over a quarter that of Earth's. Barren and heavily cratered, this desolate rock orbits around 385,000 kilometers away from us. Its lack of an atmosphere contrasts sharply with our own biosphere. Intriguingly positioned in the upper right corner is our radiant Sun - a colossal ball of energy that illuminates and sustains all life within our solar system. The Earth-Moon duo gracefully revolves around it at an astonishing distance of 150 million kilometers. As we marvel at this artwork capturing such cosmic wonders, we are reminded that nebulae scattered throughout serve as celestial nurseries for stars and their planetary systems. These ethereal backgrounds symbolize both birth and infinite possibilities within our universe. This awe-inspiring vertical composition masterfully combines artistry with scientific precision to remind us how fortunate we are to call this water-covered sphere home amidst an otherwise uninhabited cosmos.
