Explanation:
Wouldn't it be fun to color in the universe?
If you think so, please accept this famous astronomical illustration as a preliminary
substitute.
You,
your friends, your parents or children, can print it out or even
color it digitally.
While coloring, you might be
interested to know that even though
this illustration
has appeared in
numerous places over the past 100 years, the actual artist remains unknown.
Furthermore,
the work has no accepted
name --
can you think of a good one?
The illustration,
first appearing
in a
book by
Camille Flammarion
in 1888, is
frequently used to show that humanity's present concepts are
susceptible to
being supplanted by greater truths.
