File:Chemical Element Names as Connected to the Solar System.png

Summary

Description	English: Nine of the 118 chemical elements have names that are connected to astronomical objects found within the Solar System. These include the Sun and half of the eight planets along with the Moon and two bodies within the Asteroid Belt: Ceres and Pallas. Also Pluto. The planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn lent their names to the elements mercury, copper, iron, tin and lead, of which only mercury remains (indicated with the asterisk). The graphic is a modification of the plaques launched into deep space on the Pioneer probes during the early 1970s. The straight purple lines point to relative locations of celestial bodies that were not depicted on the original plaque.
