Around the Solar System

[minidog]

With dozens of spacecraft currently orbiting, roving or otherwise and traveling through our solar system, I thought it would be interesting to get a general snapshot in time, using images from NASA and ESA spacecraft near Mercury, Earth, the Moon, Mars, Saturn and a few in-transit to further destinations. Collected here are recent images gathered from around our solar system, at scales ranging from mere centimeters to millions of kilometers. (32 photos total)

The Auroras always amaze me. Every time I'm just enthralled.

That last pic is a nice surprise. Ice plumes are damned interesting phenomena.

Yeah and then you get trapped on a haunted space ship like Event Horizon.

Fantastic!
If I could be young and adventurous again I'd be space station bound.

I kind of want to go to Mars. Seems pretty cool.
