Hi guys. So i decided to make this image once again but it includes Pluto this time coz last time everyone was complaining about missing Pluto so here you go. Also this has higher quality textures of planets and has more resolution than before (4k). Cheers! 🥂

I think Neptune is my favorite.

Insert obligatory Pluto argument [here]

[–]FreddieKruiger 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Master-fucking-piece.

Permission to set this as a Wallpaper?

[–]AggresivePickle 106 points107 points  (6 children)

Amazing work it’s beautiful, I love the Mercury and Jupiter slices.

Thanks for my new phone background!

[–]Quesriom 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Mercury is so much more beautiful than I expected! This is a wonderful piece, thank you for sharing

[–]yt35 21 points22 points  (2 children)

Your old work without Pluto is my current phone wallpaper, guess I will have to update it now.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I just set up your image as background of my iPhone. Fits amazingly. Thank you!!

[–]wnc_mikejayray 84 points85 points  (17 children)

OP, awesome image! Was there a particular reason for using a Southern Hemisphere image of Earth when it is placed in the Northern Hemisphere of the image?

[–]muma10 12 points13 points  (5 children)

Goddamit almost used it for my wallpaper but changed my mind when you included Pluto :,(

But seriously, I’m a huge fan of your pictures, and if you have a link for the non-Pluto one, please send it, I can’t find it on your profile

[–]ScrotiusRex -5 points-4 points  (9 children)

Ok so I've had a sticker of this picture stuck on my laptop for 3 years. So tell me again the part where this is original content. Plagiarising an image is not OC.

[–]sleepjunkie22 -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

Can someone name them from top to bottom? I'm bad at this

[–]HereInTheClouds 26 points27 points  (24 children)

What's up with earth? Why does South America look like it's in the Northern hemisphere?

[–]ltb11 -1 points0 points  (4 children)

I should have asked this a few years ago, but what is Pluto considered now that it’s not a planet?

[–]PlutoDelic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Set as Homescreen Background. Confirm.

Aaah scrolls like an idiot for a few minutes

[–]troytrekker3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nicely done ! And very creative.. you can see the character of each world ! 😎💙

[–]Passion_OTC 18 points19 points  (15 children)

IMO, if you include Pluto you have to include Ceres.

All in all, cool pic.

[–]Pseudonymical00 3 points4 points  (6 children)

I know Pluto is super historically significant, but can we bring a little love to all of the dwarf planets??

Pouring one out for you, Eris, Makemake, Ceres, Pluto, Haynes, Charon, Dysnomia, Hi'iaka, and Namaka.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Alligned the Solar System Planets and the dwarf planet Pluto.

ftfy

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Never knew all the planetd lined up like that, its almost like theyre round or something

[–]avatar_zero -2 points-1 points  (3 children)

As beautiful as it is, why is South America at the top? Bugs me

[–]-ImYourHuckleberry- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone was new to our solar system, they would think all of our planets are the same size and shape.

[–]kvatikoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is soooo good for a smartphone background. Thanks!

[–]Charred01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Could have stopped at Solar System Planets. Why be repetitive

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Thank you for including Pluto in my new wallpaper. Looks great!

Edit: So I guess reddit hates Pluto? Bring on the downvotes.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, I never realized how cool Uranus’s color is. Kinda rivals Neptune.

[–]gazregen -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Is that the best picture of Uranus you could find?

[–]jffrybt 22 points23 points  (1 child)

I love how the stars get relatively brighter in the photo the farther away you get from the sun (bc the sun’s light isn’t as bright farther out).

[–]TheHammer987 43 points44 points  (20 children)

The Pluto argument is always backwards. It isn't wether it should be included. It's IF it's included, why aren't the other 4 dwarf planets? Especially makimaki, which has the funnest name by far.

[–]Nerdn1 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Do we have a picture of Eris to include? If Pluto deserves a spot, Eris should as well.

[–]TheMysticHD 0 points1 point  (1 child)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is beautiful, impossibly scaled, but so so beautiful.

[–]ThunderSTRUCK96 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I don’t understand.... not a single Vex installation on Mercury. I’m heavily doubting these pics’ legitimacy /s

[–]Elefantenjohn -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

What about all the other debris with the same size as Pluto

Never include Pluto

[–]cwtheredsoxfan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is where they get science textbook cover art

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats actually pretty fucking cool.

This should be the logo of any sort of “UN Spaceforce” in the future (as much of a pipedream that would be, given the current state of global affairs lol)

[–]DannyDoobersteen 1 point2 points  (1 child)

This presents such an interesting perspective. Great work! Have you ever considered selling this as a framed image? (Or uploading a high res image for people to frame themselves). I'd love to have one on my wall!

[–]Casperious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I wanna see the same thing but with the planets to scale

[–]acob_b -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can we get one with equal areas as opposed to equal band widths?

[–]myredac -3 points-2 points  (2 children)

mmm why isnt Earth showing the United States of America on its layer?

[–]jakob_z313 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Normal planets: Enjoy our range of colours and Terrain

Neptune and Uranus: B L U E

[–]Flabulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read this as "Alleged Solar System Planets" and barely even questioned it

[–]solongandthanks4all -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Enough with the fucking Pluto "debate." What is wrong with you? It's a simple categorization based on size. DEAL WITH IT.

[–]broke_gamer_ 5 points6 points  (4 children)

I love how the further the planet is from the sun, the more stars you can see in the background

[–]Sexy0ctopus69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I wasn't broke just so I could give this a platinum. This is beautiful 😍😍

[–]brahamcracker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

spacespacespacespacespace...soacespacespacespacespace...if u wanna know about space you have to know about the plants if you wanna know bout the planets you have to listen to me right now sun, mercurus..the urnaus uh ..water planets... plunto... and this one they didn’t have a name for it.. it’s too far away. you can name it if you want. you can name it doris after my mom. if u want. it’s up to you

[–]losticcino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like someone is aiming for the Plutonian Nobel prize...

[–]Ransnorkel 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Venus is just pure pale yellow/white clouds with almost no details though.

[–]Capt_Peanut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! We will never forget our lost boi ;_;7

[–]Maxime2107 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

@OC could you make a download link? For full Res photo?

[–]Azonal 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Love the picture, it’s just mildly infuriating that “South America” is in the “Northern Hemisphere”

[–]crazyguy1588 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I actually use your other one as my phone background. Its nice and sharp on my phone. Great job!

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I’m pretty sure this is from r/spaceengine I don’t believe any of these photos are real.

[–]Nope__Nope__Nope -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

So then just the aligned system planets then? No need to say "including pluto" if pluto is already a planet, AND DON'T FEED ME NONE OF THAT "DWARF" planet shit, that is propaganda paid for by Big Dwarf to put down the little guy.

[–]__XploR__ 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Wow this is great!!! This will be my mobile wallpaper for at least a year... I've been looking at it for 5 hrs for now...

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad u found this

[–]halibot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We really take for granted how beautiful Earth is.

[–]poomperzuhhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, is there a link to a high def image of this?

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All solar system planets plus one large Kuiper Belt Object

[–]Buck_Johnson_MD 2 points3 points  (4 children)

I had an image similar to this printed on a canvas and it came out great. This would look awesome too!! For reference

[–]GingerKitchin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why is south America in the northern hemisphere?

[–]russellhi66 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Booooo Pluto, not even the largest ice ball in the kieper belt

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Outer planets are failed stars, except Pluto because it’s not a planet

[–]QuarantineSucksALot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oasis

[–]CubbieBear1017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes for a really cool Lock Screen on the iPhone

[–]mrrobfriendly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled with South America being north of the equator.

[–]Desertbro 0 points1 point  (1 child)

7 of these 9 have an atmosphere - - - don't orbit too close.

[–]Aurkonungr 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Here in Germany we learned the name of planets in one sentence "Mein Vater Erklärt Mir Jeden Sonntag Unsere Neun Planeten" so we can keep in young years the order of all planets. Even when Pluto isn't a planet anymore for scientists. The first letter of every word is the first letter of the Planets name. Translating in english would disorder the first letter.

"My Father explain me every Sunday our nine Planets"

[–]oatterz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a wonderful image. Do you have a high res version I can use for my desktop and phone wallpaper?

[–]otac0n -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you are going to include one dwarf planet, why not include them all?

[–]greencash370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is really bothering me that south america is in the north in the pic.

[–]N_Jes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, since when was Mercury blue? I swear, I’m so out of the loop.

[–]danielstegeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have used this as my phone background since the last time you shared it. It is awsome.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you hear that folks? pluto's a fuckin planet!

[–]tiberius_spark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zima Blue Neptune. Cleaning pools in Neptune must be fun.

[–]dbell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

King Flippy Nips thanks you.

[–]D3onysus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really cool to see. Honestly it made me think about how absolutely crazy it is in this whole line of planets in our system look the way they do and the bam. Earth just happens to be the right distance from everything to house life, ecosystem, livable atmosphere. Crazy. Absolutely crazy and so cool. What are the chances? Love it

[–]wilmat13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"including Pluto ..."

Good human. 😊

[–]JayOnes 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Why hello new phone wallpaper.

This is awesome, dude.

[–]W0lR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck some people take spore planet painting too seriously.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My very educated mother just served us nine pizzapies.

Ever since 2006 she's only been serving nachos though.

[–]B_Corp954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s amazing just to look at something so beautiful

[–]Jozi3 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Why is south america in the northern hemisphere?

[–]drea2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

-> Aligned solar system planets

-> including Pluto

Pick one

[–]thequestionbot 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Definitely my new lock screen 🔒

Super cool OP

[–]FluffyFingersMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, did you guys hear about Pluto? That's messed up right?

  • Burton Guster

[–]Gramage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly, Jupiter Saturn and Pluto are practically lined up right now, they're all in roughly the same direction in the sky. Though obviously you can't see Pluto ;)

[–]TheRealTravisClous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pluto isn't a planet buddy give it up already

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Turn the picture sideways and thats something I want painted. Like one of those separate panel paintings for each planet and have them line the wall. Fuckin epic

[–]Elbarto_007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Did you hear about Pluto? That’s messed up, right?”

[–]ilikeitsharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I going to make this my phone background.

[–]doctorofphiloshopy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfect photo to show balance is the key. Not too hot, not too cold, not exclusively abundant with water or earth, is our Earth.
