Planetary alignment

This 3D view displays (from left to right) the planets Venus, Jupiter, Neptune, Mars, Earth and Saturn, illuminated by our Sun. It is the result of digital simulations combining satellite images of the planets in our Solar System and algorithms for positioning bodies (Earth, Sun, planets, stars) on the celestial vault.

It simulates a view acquired on May 5, 2022 at a distance of 150,000 kilometers from the Earth.
