NASA released the clearest pictures yet of our neighbours in the solar system

Oh and of course us

Honourable mention

If anyone is curious or confused:

Mercury (2013): An image from the Wide Angle Camera (WAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) on the MESSENGER mission/spacecraft

Venus (2018): A false colour image of Venus' nightside from Japan's Akatsuki spacecraft's IR2 camera (I couldn't find the original publication/archived gallery image for this specific image but I've linked the project site which include some previous images that explain the process)

Mars (2003): An enhanced colour composite image from images taken by the Viking mission [page that include the enhanced colour version featured above]

Jupiter (2024): A post-processed and colour-enhanced version of this image from the Juno spacecraft.

Saturn (2005): A Hubble Space Telescope composite image of Saturn's aurora (exact details are in the link so I won't reproduce here)

Uranus (1986): A Voyager 2 image taken using the VG ISS narrow angle instrument. I believe this one is visual spectrum and post-processed but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Neptune (1998): Also a voyager 2 image but importantly this image was processed in false colour to enhance the planet's dark spot. It has been reprocessed since. Its true colour is quite similar to that of Uranus.

Earth (2012): I believe this is the famed 'Blue Marble' image of Earth. We have much more data now and have made incredibly detailed composite image of Earth since (see Google Earth). Concerningly, this image was done by a satellite whose mission is heavily relied on by climate scientists and all the official NASA and US government pages that directly reference the mission have died recently. I can't even easily find the PIA number (though, admittedly I didn't look too hard and someone probably listed it somewhere)

Pluto (2015): Above is a crudely colour enhanced version of the false-colour original New Horizons' MVIC instrument. This particular image (the real one) combines blue, red, and infrared data. Pluto does not appear this way to human vision (not least because we cannot see infrared but also because the colours are a lot more subtle)
