Popis:
Artist's impression of the Pioneer 10 space probe (1972—) imaging the Sun from the orbit of Neptune. Artist's description: "On ABC's 'Nightline' I heard a report Pioneer 10 would try to image the Sun among the stars as it crossed the orbit of Neptune. This turned out to be not true, and I resolved to create such a view. The sky is accurately portrayed and the Sun with its brighter planets are placed where they would be in relation to the background. The spacecraft is based on hardware photographs. Acrylic on board for NASA Ames."
