""" .. _planets_example: 3D Earth and Celestial Bodies ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Plot the solar system in PyVista using datasets from the :mod:`~pyvista.examples.planets` module. This example is inspired by `planet3D-MATLAB `_. .. note:: The purpose of this example is to demonstrate plotting celestial bodies and may lack astronomical precision. There may be inaccuracies in the representation, so please take care when reusing or repurposing this example. Please take a look at libraries like `astropy `_ if you wish to use Python for astronomical calculations.
