Welcome to the Solar System WikiProject, a collaboration area and group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of the Solar System. Another of our goals is to create guidelines for articles about the Solar System. To leave a new message for the project to read, click here.

This project covers all articles about the Solar System, and everything inside it except for most objects on Earth. Currently, we have two subprojects: WikiProjects Moon and Mars; please discuss these objects on the relevant subproject talk pages. For more information on WikiProjects in general, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects.
