Experience the planets

[Sedako]

This site is incredible. It's an ongoing project featuring artistic renditions of our solar system, downloadable as wallpaper. Can't wait to see more.

This is actually pretty sick.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Awesome.

 

[G(ordon)-man]

Whoa, epic. But I cannot watch it without puking because my strange phobia of space.

 

[Gorgon]

awsome,

thanks for sharing. Bookmarked!

Death of Triton won itself a spot as my wallpaper.

My favorites are Earth and Mars.

I can't wait to see more illustrations. I don't want to be critical, but most of the artwork was disappointing for me, I don't feel all of them captured the planets as best they could.

I mean, look at Jupiter for example. Simply awesome.

Here is an absolutely amazing photo of Jupiter from NASA.

I'm fascinated by the Universe done in CGI, (or even just stories about recent developments or discoveries) particularly something based on real science, (something educational) but science fiction might be interesting as well, if anyone knows of something cool, please let me know. I have seen some pretty good stuff on the National Geographic channel so far.

Cool, I was wondering what happened to that Greg Martin guy since he hasn't put up anything on his other space wallpaper site in a long time.

I kinda agree with Virus that a few of them were disappointing though.

Love the feel of the site, these pictures are incredible and the ambient music just makes it more epic.

Small amount of images is fairly disappointing, but its pretty new site so no big deal.

I really wish that the Earth was as big as Jupiter, but somehow it still felt like Earth. Same gravity and atmosphere and whatnot.

I could still go exploring... Oh well.

 

[Warped]

cool site, can't wait to see some more.

The jupiter one confuses me. What the **** is it supposed to be?

Looks like it's underwater in ice caverns or something.

Click "Show info" to the bottom right of the image and it will give you more info and wallpaper download options. That image is depicting the underwater ice caverns of Europa.

Approximate size comparison:

Did you know:

Jupiter is classified as a gas giant along with Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Jupiter is primarily composed of hydrogen with a quarter of its mass being helium; it may also have a rocky core of heavier elements.

Also:

There are also at least 63 moons

electrical discharges [from storms] can be up to a thousand times as powerful as lightning on the Earth.

Time-lapse sequence from the approach of Voyager I to Jupiter, showing the motion of atmospheric bands, and circulation of the Great Red Spot.

Jupiter's rotation is the fastest of all the Solar System's planets, completing a rotation on its axis in slightly less than ten hours; this creates an equatorial bulge

Oh okay. I was wondering where the **** ice was on Jupiter. lol. I knew Europa had ice, but it was under the jupiter section so I was thinking WHAT THE **** IS THIS ARTIST THINKING?

 

[VirusType2]

They believe that Europa could be the one Jupiter moon that could sustain life

They once deliberately crashed a space probe into Jupiter to eliminate the risk that the probe would inadvertently strike Europa.

[Sudano]

[Robbo]

Awesome, cant wait to see it finished.

Europans. Not Europeans.

 

[Robbo]

Europans. Not Europeans.

Where do you think Europeans come from?? We all know you drooped the e to fool us

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

In Spanish, Europe and Europa are both just called Europa.

In Spanish, Europe and Europa are both just called Europa.

As are they in Swedish. Doesn't change the fact that in English, the adjective form of Europa is Europan.

I was just offering it as a reason as to why he said it. It doesn't really matter.

Hey, it's not information that is in any way important to anyone here, or indeed most people everywhere. I just like to dispense completely useless information when I can.
