Saturn! The sixth planet of our solar system and the one with the grandest display of planetary rings, Saturn becomes a notable ingredient for a spin-up artist’s space setting. When you slap a set of rings around a planet it just says “This is outer space,” doesn’t it?
Space girl art is a popular pin-up style, so we crawled around the internet to find some of the loveliest pin-ups this side of 1.4 billion kilometers (which is the distance from the Sun to Saturn, in case you get asked the question on Jeopardy!)
Let’s go see what lovely ladies are circling that big yellow gas giant out past the asteroid belt.
