Cosmic Cycles; Plenatry Fantasia

Earth's siblings, the other planets were created at the birth of the solar system. They give us a glimpse of the variety possible in the universe and how rare Earth is. As we explore these other worlds, we fuel our adventurous spirit and discover new wonders at every turn: riverbeds on Mars, volcanoes on Jupiter's moon lo, auroras on Saturn, and sulfuric-acid clouds on Venus.

This text is part of the promotional material for the "Cosmic Cycles: A Space Symphony" project, a collaboration between NASA and the National Philharmonic that fuses music and video to create a unique experience for audiences. The project features seven multimedia works on the Sun, Earth, Moon, Planets, and Cosmos.

The text in the image highlights the diversity of the planets in our solar system and the potential for discovery that exists beyond Earth. It also speaks to the human spirit of adventure and exploration, which is what drives us to learn more about the universe around us.
