Our friends at behäppi from Estonia have expanded their series of challenging wooden puzzles with these wonderful new planet puzzles .

So if you are fascinated by the galaxy, the solar system or the planets, then this is definitely something for you!

Our Sun is a 4.5 billion year old star - a scorching ball of hydrogen and helium at the centre of our solar system. The Sun is about 150 million kilometres from Earth, and without its energy, life as we know it could not exist on our home planet. The Sun is the largest object in our solar system. Its diameter is about 1.4 million kilometres. It would take 1.3 million Earths to fill it. Its gravity holds the solar system together and keeps everything from the largest planets to the smallest pieces of debris orbiting around it. The hottest part of the Sun is its core, where temperatures exceed 15 million °C. One of the Sun's greatest mysteries is that the Sun's outer atmosphere, the corona, gets hotter the farther it gets from the surface. The corona reaches up to 2 million °C - much, much hotter than the photosphere. The sun orbits the center of the Milky Way, dragging the planets, asteroids, comets, and other objects in our solar system with it. Our solar system moves at an average speed of 720,000 kilometers per hour. But even at this speed, the sun takes about 230 million years to complete a complete circuit around the Milky Way.

This 49-piece 20cm puzzle shows the Sun in stunning clarity. The image, provided by NASA, is one of the clearest images of the Sun ever.
