Stunning Rendering of the Solar System to Scale by Artist Roberto Ziche

Artist Roberto Ziche has created a stunning rendering of the solar system to scale. The planets, our Moon, and the four dwarf planets Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris sit neatly lined up in front of the sun in relative scale of size (though not distance) to one another. The right edge of the image shows the relative orbits of each of the planets.
