Hi There
Been working on a representation of the solar system in high resolution, to use on my wall, and I want to share the final product with you guys. I am also trying to sell it, to sort of justify the time used on it to my wife...
Follow this external link if you are interested in buying it
I hope you like it, even though I have made space a little less dark for graphical reasons.
Accuracy: Relative sizes of bodies, and the order, left to right, in mean distance to the Sun (though moons will just be ordered to their orbit around their planet)
Freedoms: Background, and the appearance of bodies which we really don't have more details of the visuals, than a blurry dot of light. But I have used the albedo information, and composition to think up something plausible
Underneath each body is a label containing some very basic information. I was thinking about making the label more detailed, and more "nerdy", but decided to go for the pop. Also it just looked better with a more compact label... The image contains 50 such labels.
As for my choice of which bodies to present, it has to do with size, mainly. I simply couldn't make the picture bigger, and bodies smaller than these here would simply not have enough resolution to be interesting...
The full size picture is 24715 px. in width and 16477 px. in height.
Complete image, though around 10 times as small in resolution.
Some close-ups, though still not in full resolution
Moons of Saturn
Rings of Saturn
Some of the Kuiper Belt objects
Jovian moons
Inner Planets
The Ice giants, with moons.
The image can be printed out in sizes up to 405 cm. (13.2 feet) in width, and will at that size have a resolution of 155 pixels per inch.
If you find it interesting, please go here, and make my wife love me, even though I use too much time in front of the screen!
Also I WELCOME critics of all sorts. I may still go and change stuff, if I find the critics important enough to use time on at this point...
