Summary
| Description |
English: Positions of spacecraft Voyager 1 (purple), Voyager 2 (red) and Pioneer 10 (blue) at the end of 2008, viewed from slightly above the ecliptic plane looking towards the Vernal point. Also depicted are: the one light-day (yellow spherical shell with yellow Vernal point arrow as radius); the Termination Shock (blue shell); Kuiper Belt (small faint gray torus); orbits of Pluto (small tilted ellipse inside Kuiper Belt) and Neptune (smallest ellipse); and the approximate direction of Sirius (white line); all to scale. |

derived from Paul Stansifer's POV-Ray source files (see below), by me, 84user, using w:en:POV-Ray, and w:en:IrfanView. 84user's contribution (inside POV-Ray files: adjusting coordinates, changing light source and other parameters) is public domain and source files used are adapted from those described at User:84user/Size comparison. Physical information is based on the Wikipedia articles and elsewhere (see POVRay source files) about the respective bodies. Paul Stansifer's contributions to this image (POV-Ray code) are available under the GPL, v. 2, and other licenses. See User:Paul Stansifer/Size comparison for more details and the other licenses. |
