Solar
system setup. The planets, relative sizes and characteristics had to be
accurate.
|
Venus,
usually gas enveloped. Getting a bit further from the sun.
|
Our
home, the third rock from the sun.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our
nearest nieghbour, Mars. Still a few years flight time though.
|
The
first of the gas giants, and technically a star, Jupiter.
|
Not
the only planet in our solar system with rings, but the most obvious -
being visible from earth.
|
|
|
|
|
If
you look very closely Neptune has four rings.
|
The
second giant jewel in the sky, and the one with the name that makes kids
giggle, Uranus.
|
And
now it seems Pluto (two bodies Pluto and Charon) number nine of ten planets
in our system.

From
the 1990 BBC Television Series The Planets. Along with numerous shots

and lighting the nine major planets.
