Description
Here is a picture of the Solar System I did for a public outreach project in the trains during the next Nights of the stars (public outreach event in France). Images used come from various sites but to sum up, they are mostly the property of the JPL/NASA, STSci/NASA, ESA, NASA and ESO

Comet Hale Bopp coming from:

I know there is already countless beautiful pictures of the solar system, which are more brilliantly done and in which the only light source is the Sun... But the purpose was only to have a synthetic view of the Solar system, with planets, satellites, comets, asteroids and trans-netunian objects. Someday I will do a better image, with logarithmic distance from the Sun, coherent sizes... But for the time being, I will only use it (have pity of the people who will have to bear me talking about astronomy while they thought they would be alone in the train).
