Seen [here]([Photo Tour of The Solar System (Part 1)](http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/10/29/797043/-Photo-Tour-of-The-Solar-System-(Part-1)). Part 2 [here](http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/10/31/798693/-Photo-Tour-of-The-Solar-System-(Part-2)). Wow. You see pictures and stuff that comes out from NASA every once in a while, but to see them put together and to almost make a narrative about it is really remarkable and breathtaking. ---

This is great. Astronomy images are always amazing. The “surface image” of Venus is really, really cool. ---

Hmmm… [Mimas](http://www.flickr.com/photos/9614328@N02/4054232725/). [Iapetus](http://www.flickr.com/photos/9614328@N02/4055538688/). That’s not a system of moons…that’s a _mothball fleet_. ---

My favorite image is the [eclipse](http://www.flickr.com/photos/9614328@N02/4054039205/sizes/l/) of Saturn. Very cool. ---

The most amazing thing to me is the true-color images. I’m so used to macroscopic (and microscopic) photos labeled “in false color”, or “artist’s renditioning” that it’s almost hard to believe they really do come in such bright colors.
