Free-floating planet and galaxy, artwork
Free-floating planet and galaxy. Artwork of a free-floating planet (lower right) moving through space against a background of a large spiral galaxy. This planet is not orbiting a star, but has formed independently or been ejected from its parent system. Galaxies are large gravitationally bound group of stars and other astronomical bodies. They can contain many billions of stars. In a spiral galaxy, older yellow stars are found in the central region, with younger, blue stars forming in the spiral arms, which include nebulae and dust lanes (black)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Free-floating Planet and Galaxy" takes us on a mesmerizing journey through the vastness of space. In this print, we witness the extraordinary sight of a free-floating planet gracefully gliding through the cosmos. Positioned in the lower right corner, this celestial wanderer is not bound to any star but has either formed independently or been expelled from its original solar system. The backdrop for this cosmic ballet is an immense spiral galaxy, stretching across the canvas with its majestic arms adorned by nebulae and dust lanes. Galaxies are colossal gravitational communities housing billions of stars and various astronomical entities. The central region hosts older yellow stars while younger blue stars emerge within the spiral arms, creating a stunning contrast. This awe-inspiring illustration beautifully captures both the intricate beauty and scientific wonder that lies within our universe. It serves as a reminder of how small we are in comparison to these grand celestial phenomena yet ignites our curiosity about what lies beyond our own world. With elements encompassing astrophysics, planetary science, and astronomy, this artwork invites us to ponder upon concepts like extrasolar planets, galactic nuclei, and even potential extraterrestrial life forms. As we gaze at this print from Science Photo Library's collection, we find ourselves immersed in an exploration of both artistry and scientific discovery – a true testament to humanity's fascination with all things celestial.
