COLOR ARTWORK
"Ringleader" By Marc Garlick
Welcome to my hypothetical planet, Ringleader. Like Uranus in our own Solar System, it's tipped over so that its rings are are nearly perpendicular to the plane in which it orbits. Here you have a view from a moon in a polar orbit. Such an orbit occasionally affords spectacular views when the planet's rings are seen face-on in all their glory.
"Eclipse 0910 Titan Time" By Steve Hobbs
A future mission to explore Titan floats over the dense cloud cover and witnesses a rare solar eclipse.
"Evening Planet" By Dan Durda
A view of a ringed planet in the evening twilight on an icy moon.
