This graphic of the solar system was made using real images of the planets and comet Hale-Bopp. It is not to scale! To show a scale model of the solar system with the Sun being 1cm would require about 64 meters of paper! Image credit: Maggie Mosetti, NASA. This book was produced to commemorate the Year of the Solar System (2011-2013, a martian year), initiated by NASA. See Many images and captions have been adapted from NASA's From Earth to the Solar System (FETTSS). image collection. See Additional imagery and captions compiled by Deborah Scherrer, Stanford University , California, USA. Special thanks to the people of Suntrek ( ,) who helped with the final editing and allowed me to use Alphonse Sterling's awesome photograph of a solar eclipse!
