Real Images Of The Solar System: Before And After The Digital Revolution

Real Images Of The Solar System: Before And After The Digital Revolution



Before modern telescopes, humans could only imagine what the surface of the sun and the planets looked like. Now advanced technology has made it possible to get in close, and take images of the Sun and the planets deep in our solar system.
If you guys have the patience to follow us for about ten minutes we will show you the profound difference between the planetary images of a few years ago, definitely “ugly” and those that delight our eyes today!

But one can go back even further… There was indeed a time when planets, apart from the Sun and Moon, could only be perceived by us earthlings as more or less bright points of light. This period lasted from when the first representative of our species raised his eyes to the sky wondering for the first time what were all those lights that lit up after the sunset, until the invention of the telescope, in 1609.
The next period is from the invention of the telescope until the early sixties of the last century. Approximately three centuries and a half, during which astronomers have first tried to draw the scarce (and often illusory) details that they could discern on planetary disks devastated by atmospheric turbulence, and then pass, at the beginning of the twentieth century, to the first timid attempts of photographic shooting.
With mostly disappointing results, always due to turbulence even more exacerbated by the fact that the poor sensitivity of the films of the time forced astronomers to very long poses even with bright subjects such as planets. And the longer a pose is, the more turbulence cancels contrasts and erases details.
In short, we can certainly say that until the sixties the planetary photos taken from Earth (even those of the great observatories like Palomar and Mount Wilson), judged with the eyes of the present, could be defined as very disappointing. This state of affairs lasted until the first interplanetary probes, equipped not with film… but with cathode-ray tubes, entered the field. The Mariner 4, for example, in 1965 sent home the first close-up photos of the Martian surface, in black and white and with a resolution (today ridiculous) of 210 lines by 210 columns. Sufficient, however, to destroy forever the theory of channels and to show us a world very different from what we had imagined. Mars appeared in fact studded with craters, almost like the Moon. It did not have a magnetic field worthy of note (and therefore was exposed from solar radiation) and the atmosphere was cold and thin. No evidence of alien civilizations, of course, nor any hope of easy exploration.
But the image we had of the solar system began to change totally only in 1976 with the Viking probes that landed on Mars, and then with the Pioneer and Voyager in the eighties. It was then, in fact, that the old dimensionless points of light, and the ugly blurry photographs of the turn of the century, suddenly became shapes, colors, and phenomena in flux. No longer faded postcards, but worlds and moons with mountains, volcanoes and ice.
In the years that followed all the planets of the solar system were visited and photographed by automatic probes, but also the imaging from the ground, assisted by CCD sensors increasingly large and sensitive made giant processes, giving us enchanting views of the planets closer and more telegenic

Discovered What Are The Strange Objects Found On Mars And Moon!

Discovered What Are The Strange Objects Found On Mars And Moon!

Nowadays, big discoveries are often coming from them. 
They are as useful as telescopes and let us observe and study our solar system with an amazing grade of precision. 
The thing is, we often find something completely new and…unexpected!
For example, take a look at this picture taken on the moon by China’s Yutu-2 mission:

What is this strange spherical object found on the moon’s surface?
Or take a look at this other one.

This was taken by the Curiosity rover directly from the surface of the red planet. Doesn’t it seem like a coral? What is going on here?

Watch our “Everything About Mars” Playlist:

From the various peaks of mountains, to the valleys that help reveal so much about red planet, join me as we explore brand new images from Mars via the Curiosity Rover.
I want you to imagine that you are on Mars right now. That is after all the goal of many in the world right now. Between NASA, Space X, and various other international agencies, there are a lot of people who are working hard to get us to the red planet known as Mars, and in the process, create history. Because when we do land on Mars, it’ll be the first time a human has stepped foot on another planet.

15. The Curiosity Rover
You might not realize just how much we owe to the Curiosity Rover, so allow me to explain it to you and show you just how much work this singular machine had done. The Curiosity Rover was launched from Earth on November 26th, 2011.

14. Mount Sharp 1:17
In terms of the location of where the Curiosity Rover was posted, that would be the Gale Crater. This was an impact site that at one time was believed to have been a key place for various things like water and sediment. We know that there is water on Mars, and Curiosity has even found various forms of clay via its explorations.
13. 3D Map Of Mars
While not solely a thing from the Curiosity Rover, anytime you can make a top-down 3D map of an area, it can be very helpful in various tasks that you are trying to achieve. And sure enough, with the help of the Curiosity Rover and the satellites above and beyond Mars over the years, NASA was able to make a 3D map of the area the rover is in, and thus, create a way for them to look over the terrain that would help them go and find a path through the crater and up to the peaks of Mount Sharp.

12. Yellowknife Bay
Yellowknife By was one of the areas that the Curiosity Rover had to go through to get to Mount Sharp, and as you can see from these pictures, various styles and compositions of rock are here in this area. By looking at these pictures, a lot of information was able to be determined. Including the fact that at one time, this area was indeed filled with water. Hence the name “Yellowknife Bay”.

11. Parhump Hills
Continuing on its journey to Mount Sharp, the Curiosity Rover found itself looking at the base of the mountain via the Parhump Hills. And with this came a look at places like the Kimberly Foundation. The more pictures that were taken, the more proof was stacked about how the crater was at one time a major place of water.

10. Garden City
Heading now to a rather odd spot on the rovers journey to Mount Sharp was the place known as Garden City. When you take a look at these photos, it’s almost as if the place is full of bones and litter. But in fact, it’s a place that is full of various mineral deposits that winds and weaves throughout the area.

9. Martian Sunset
If you’re hoping to see more aesthetic things that rocks and dirt via the rovers time on Mars, then you’re in luck. Because during its time on the red planet, it had time to get some absolutely beautiful shots of the Martian sunrise and sunset. Do you notice anything interesting in this picture? Exactly. The Martian setting sun has a more bluish tint than anything we have here on Earth.

3. Vera Rubin Ridge
The highest point in its journey thus far, Vera Rubin Ridge is another case of massive erosion and embedding of sediments. Though it’s impossible to tell at present just how each structure was formed, we do know that some were because of wind erosion, but others don’t seem to be that way based on looks alone. Showing that even Mars can have some weird and unknown structures.
2. The View Of Mars
At the top of the ridge, Curiosity took the opportunity to make a beautiful panoramic shot. Showing Mars from the height it was at, and showcasing the depth of field and the distance it had traveled so far. The fun is quite spectacular, and it makes you wonder what it will be like when Curiosity reaches the top of Mount Sharp. It hasn’t reached there yet, but it will soon more than likely.
1. A Hi-Res Panorama
We’ve shown you a lot of pictures over the course of this video, but now, let’s show you a literal brand new one that has come from the Curiosity Rover just days before this video was made. This was a panorama image that was made by the Curiosity Rover taken over the course of a “break” from late November to early December. This Panoramic image is comprised of 1000 photos and is 1.8 BILLION pixels.
The picture itself is of the Glen Torridon, a region on the flanks of Mars’ 3.4-mile-high (5.5 kilometers) Mount Sharp that the rover has been exploring recently.
