EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Orion viewed from Earth, artwork C017 / 0772" takes us on a cosmic journey through the vastness of space. Created by the talented artist David A. Hardy, this computer artwork beautifully illustrates the intriguing phenomenon known as parallax. As our planet orbits around the Sun in an elliptical path, our line of sight to distant celestial objects like Orion constantly changes. The dotted lines in this image represent these different lines of sight, showcasing how the apparent position of the Orion constellation shifts over time. The mesmerizing beauty of this artwork lies in its ability to showcase both the dynamic nature of our solar system and our ever-changing perspective as inhabitants of Earth. It serves as a reminder that even though we may perceive constellations like Orion as fixed entities in the night sky, their positions are actually subject to displacement due to Earth's rotation and orbital motion. Through this stunning illustration, we gain a deeper appreciation for astronomy and planetary science. We are reminded that while we may feel grounded on our revolving globe, we are part of a much larger cosmic dance where everything is in constant motion. This thought-provoking artwork invites us to contemplate our place within the universe and marvel at its infinite wonders.
