Here are NASA’s best images of all the planets in the solar system

Our solar system consists of eight planets, and each of these planets stands out very well because they are all very different.

SEE THE GALLERY – 9 IMAGES

As humans explore our solar system and the space beyond, NASA has captured incredible images of our local planets. Most of the footage can be traced to NASA’s Voyager 1/2 missions which still currently travel through the dark void of interstellar space.

The images you will find below show some of the most remarkable aspects of the planets in great detail. As humans move forward and our technology becomes more powerful at seeing the cosmos, we will develop a deeper understanding of these planets in our solar system, as well as billions of other planets in our systems. For now, though, let’s admire what we’ve accomplished so far.

Solar system images

Uranus, the second most distant planet from the Sun and an ice giant whose temperatures drop below -350 degrees Fahrenheit. NASA’s Voyager spacecraft returned the image in 1986

Mercury, the smallest planet and closest to the Sun. It only takes 88 days to complete an orbit, and as you can see in the image above, it took a hell of a beating when it comes to meters hitting its surface.

March, our next destination. The image above was stitched together with 102 images taken by NASA’s Viking Orbiter.

Neptune, the planet furthest from the Sun. The image above was taken in 1998 by NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft.

Venus, our friendly neighbor who has recently aroused the interest of many researchers interested in its surface and its atmosphere.

Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system. Jupiter is so large that the Earth could enter it 11 times. The image above shows Jupiter along with one of its moons.

Saturn, the second largest planet in our solar system and the sixth planet from the Sun. Famous for its rings, Saturn was brilliantly captured by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2019.

Last but not least, everyone is at home – Earth. The image was captured by the EPIC NOAA / NASA team in 2019.
