COSMIC MESSAGE

This Clementine spacecraft image shows the ecliptic plane, the path Earth takes around the Sun. You can see the Moon, lit by Earthshine, along with Saturn, Mars, and Mercury. All the planets in our solar system tend to orbit within this plane. The Sun's apparent movement through the sky follows this line throughout the year.
