Planets, moons, and stars, made to order by the Little Planet Factory

8 March 2017

Astronomy geeks will love this. 3D printed models of the planets, and moons, of the solar system, made by George Ioannidis of the Little Planet Factory (Internet Archive link). Above is an image of Earth posing with Jupiter, and a sans-rings Saturn.

You can also order the Sun. And the three stars of the Alpha Centauri, and Proxima Centauri system, our nearest neighbours in interstellar space. Or the Moon. Or Mars, when it once had oceans.
