    Guys, once again great work, and just a little information for those who want to scale these to the actual planet size you can use this site to obtain ratios. Set Jupiter as your biggest planet and scale to the ratios calculated for the other planets.

    What are these for?…i dloaded them from apple but they won’t open. Is it screensaver?

  7. User Icon Dan  |   Date Icon September 9th, 2008 at 2:20 pm  

    Hey Michael. The icons are available in 3 formats. The icons posted on Apple’s site are Mac formatted icon files (can only be viewed on a mac). The icons attached to the download button in the blog post above are PNGs (those can be used on any platform). I also created them in Windows icon format (which can only be viewed on Windows). Here’s all the links for your downloading pleasure. :)

    • Mac OS Icons (10.5 and above) [download]
    • Windows Icons [download]
    • PNGs (512×512) [download]

    What happened to the 16×16 pngs on iconarchive.com? 512×512 is waay too large for what I was using them for…

    Olá, achei seus icones do solarsystem muito legais, mas ao baixá-los, teve dois que tiveram erro de abertura, o da “planeta terra” e o “sol”. Os demais permanecem inalterados. podem me encaminhar novos icones destes com problemas? Agradeço desde já, obrigado – ROCHELE MARTINS – BRASIL
