PIX4634712: Uranus and three satellites seen by Voyager 2 - Image obtained by the Voyager 2 probe in January 1986 showing the planet Uranus accompanied by the satellites Ariel (top right), Miranda (closest to the planet) and Umbriel (bottom left). This Voyager photograph of Uranus taken in january 1986 is a composite of for images taken by the narrow angle camera. At this range, clouds and other features in the atmosphere as small as 1,370 km. could be detected by Voyager 2. Yet, no such features are visible. This view is toward the illuminated south pole of Uranus. The predominant blue color is the result of atmospheric methane, which absorbs the red wavelengths from incoming sunlight. The spot at the upper left edge of the planet's disk reulted from the removal of a network mark used in making measurments on the photograph. Three of Uranus' five known satellites are visible; Miranda (at far right, closest to the planet), Ariel (next out, at top), and Umbriel (lower left). Titania and Oberon are now outside the narrow angle camera's field of view when it centered on the planet. This color composite was made from images taken through blue, green, orange, and clear filters / Bridgeman Images
PIX4634813: Uranus and its satellite Puck - Illustration - Uranus and Puck - Illustration - Planet Uranus with its Puck satellite in the foreground. On the right, closer to the planet, is the Belinda satellite. Even closer to Uranus, on the left, the Portia satellite. On Uranus, a giant storm is represented. This is how Uranus and its tiny satellite Puck might look from a position in space about a thousand miles above and beyond Puck itself. With a diameter of about 100 miles, Puck is the largest and outermost of the ten known “” inner”” satellites that orbit Uranus within a radius of 51 thousand miles. Further in toward Uranus on the right is Belinda, a satellite that is about 40 miles in diameter. Even closer to Uranus on the far left is the 60 - mile - diameter satellite Portia. On Uranus itself can be seen a giant, cyclonic storm that's almost as big as the Earth / Bridgeman Images
PIX4635010: Venus rise and zodiacal light - Venus rise and zodiacal light - At the bottom of the picture, a man looks at Venus, the bright point above the horizon. The zodiacal light is the extended glow blade inclined to the right that extends to the lactee lane at Les Gemeaux. Higher, the Coach, then Persee. Saint-michel-de-brasparts, Finistere, 23 September 2009. A man is watching Venus, the bright dot above horizon. Zodiacal light is the pale light coming from the horizon reaching the milky way.
