      Why no rings on the gas giants? I always find their depiction odd in this way

    2. Well, these are certainly…interesting choices. Venus using a UV image with contrast turned down somewhat, that terrible Earth image made in low orbit with fisheye lens, and Saturn image with UV image of its aurora overlain..

      These images should be better:

      Venus: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ugordan/3447783055/ (Venus is notorious when it comes to true colour – Venusian spacecraft do not carry optical cameras because all they’d image are white, so this image comes from MESSENGER, going to Mercury, which did not manage to image the full disk of the planet)
