After the initial release of Solar System Icon Set in June 1997, the new icons are the revision of the original icons. The icons are based on the images taken by various Voyager missions, the Hubble Space Telescope, etc. The set includes 44 icons of planets, their satellites, comets, the sun and asteriods. MacOS8.5 is required for viewing the icons.
32 bit Solar System Icon Set is an "item-ware". Which means you owe me at least one of the following items if you use the icons.
1. a beautiful postcard of your home town or country (see contact for my address).
2. a donation to your local charity.
3. a breathtaking picture of your country (may be emailed to me, jpeg format please).
4. to recycle or reuse 5 items (e.g. bottles, cans, packing materials.)
