What if the photo itself is actually upside down?
Also, the term down is typically to explain the difference from higher up to lower - in reference to the ground beneath our feet. You go down hill. You fall down. All in reference to the planet upon which we stand. So if this photo was taken from the earth then “down” is in fact towards us.

There is no ‘down’ or ‘up’ in space Bretrick…Things just stay where they are put unless they already have a force. That force was when they blew off the sun and flew through space until they reached a distance from the sun when the force ran out and were captured in an orbit around the sun and didn’t have enough force left to resist. I would think that eventually everything will be pulled back into the sun.
First there was chaos and then order…We are currently in a period of order, but it will return to chaos in a few trillion years. No need to worry about it now…

They don’t hang in the air since there is no air nor do they hang (passive). Instead, they move in fixed, elliptical orbits around the sun at an extremely high speed, held in place by the sun’s gravity and their own motion (active).
