Here are 9 images of Jupiter taken annually under the NASA OPAL (Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy) program from 2015 to 2024, with approx. true color.

Hubble's sharp images track clouds and measure the winds, storms, and vortices, in addition to monitoring the size, shape, and behavior of the Great Red Spot (GRS).

NASA's Hubble Celebrates Decade of Tracking Outer Planets - NASA Science

Encountering Neptune in 1989, NASA’s Voyager mission completed humankind’s first close-up exploration of the four giant outer planets of our solar system. Collectively, since their launch in 1977, the twin Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft discovered that Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune were far more complex than scientists had imagined. There was a lot […]

So, das soll dann erstmal reichen: Eine letzte (entrauschte) Version meines Bildes vom Kometen Nishimura von heute Morgen um 5:00 Uhr MESZ aus der Wedemark. 80 Sekunden belichtet (40x2 s) bei ISO 8000, Auschnitt aus Foto bei f=150 mm. #Komet #Nishimura #comet #Astrofotografie #astrophotography
The open cluster IC1396 and its associated Elephant's trunk nebula is a very frequent target for astrophotographers. I gave it a close-up shot in LRGB - and I find the multitude of colors to be quite appealing. https://www.astrobin.com/vyellu
