File talk:Flammarion.jpg
A modern equivalent would show the person in the landscape looking through a hole in the dome of the sky and seeing, beholding; (I) Artificial satellites orbiting the Earth; the International Space Station; the Moon's shoe prints; (II) (a) the ecliptic and Solar System with the visible planets Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury, (b) the invisible planets Neptune and Uranus, (c) a selection of comets and asteroids; (III) beyond that the disk of stars that is the Milky Way galaxy, and (IV) far beyond that many exterior galaxies.
In all of these carefully selected actual images of the objects would be valuable, but the value of the artist's own depiction of them would not be neglected, and both approaches should be designed and presented. 75.92.32.217 11:37, 15 March 2010 (UTC)SyntheticET
Where's the caption?[edit]
This version of the Flammarian wood engraving is supposed to have a caption, but it's gone and as far as I can see the earlier versions are not available. Anyone know how to get it back? Chris55 (talk) 12:47, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
