Jasgrave333 NASA Ambient lighting on Mars is not the same as ambient lighting on Earth. Also that picture of the MER calibration tool is not white-balanced—it's very yellow.

Do you really think NASA/JPL/MSSS engineers don't know how to use their own calibration tool? That they designed?

Here is another comparison of the #Webb Mid-Infrared #PillarsOfCreation / Eagle Nebula to existing data - this time to longer wavelengths, from the ESA Herschel, before Webb the largest infrared space telescope. Can you spot the Pillars?

🧵 Oh, trick question!

Here's a view of Enceladus' crumpled, frozen surface captured by Cassini as it passed just 30 miles over it on October 28, 2015 #OTD

John Robert Richard Impact events can occur at many angles, with most occurring at around 45º or lower. But lunar craters themselves are formed by the enormous energy released radially in all directions at the moment of impact, not by the carving out of the surface. youtu.be/BCGWGJOUjHY

Jasgrave333 NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover @NASA I target the general appearance of the natural color composites assembled by the teams that designed and built the cameras and calibration instruments. I figure they know what they're doing with their own instruments and data. mastcamz.asu.edu/mastcam-zs-360…

Here's Saturn's second-largest moon Rhea peeking from beyond the limb (and through the upper atmosphere) of larger moon Titan, imaged by Cassini on October 27, 2009. #OTD Color data applied from lower-resolution observations taken a couple weeks earlier.

18 years ago #OTD on October 26, 2004 Cassini preformed its first targeted flyby of Titan. This image is made from pictures acquired during that flyby, showing the moon in silhouette with its layered atmosphere forward-scattering sunlight.

It took this light well over twice the age of our Solar System to get here. (No wonder it's all bent up...)
