A solar system poster that reads as wall art
Most solar system posters are classroom charts. Ours hangs the eight planets in a clean vertical line beneath a gold Sun, the kind of thing that anchors a study, a child's room or a hallway without shouting. The Solar System, Minimal is that chart, and it's the one to buy if you want the whole neighbourhood on the wall.
A chart, a portrait or a travel poster
Seven plates, and they answer three different wants. If you'd rather have a planet poster than the whole chart, the portraits give one world the whole sheet: Jupiter in ochre, cream and rust with the Great Red Spot turning, and Saturn in muted gold and bone with its shadow thrown across the rings. Visit Mars is neither chart nor portrait: a golden-age travel poster for Olympus Mons at dawn, for a room that wants colour rather than quiet.
Two are further out on purpose. The Long Return is a great comet at perihelion with both tails streaming, and Pale Blue Dot is the quietest thing we make: Earth as a single pixel in a shaft of scattered light. Neither is a planet plate, and both belong here because they're the same neighbourhood seen from the edge of it.
What a solar system poster should include
The planets, in order from the Sun, and enough space between them to read. That's what our chart does: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, eight in all. It suits a child's room because it answers "which one comes after Mars?" without a book, and it suits a study because it doesn't look like homework. Pluto isn't on it, and the planets in order explains why.
Spaced to be read, not to scale
Any solar system poster that fits on a wall is a compromise, and it's worth saying which one we made: the worlds are sized and spaced so the chart is legible, not to the real proportions. At true scale Neptune would sit about thirty times further from the Sun than Earth does, and the inner four would be a smudge near one edge. If you want the actual figures, the planets in order gives every distance in kilometres and in astronomical units, with its sources.
Made to order, delivered free
Nothing here is stocked: your copy is printed after you order, on 250 gsm uncoated off-white archival paper, in the same stock at every size. Delivery to a UK address is free. Want a particular planet we don't list yet, or your own astrophotography? Print your photograph or turn it into art with Cosmic Canvas.
The planets are one stop in The collection. Next along are the space poster prints, which gather these planets with the retro travel posters and blueprints. The whole catalogue has the rest.
