Wow! Is this a museum? Or a photo that you borrowed?
Hi sampa. It's a property which is a real home but run by the National Trust. So the public are able to visit the house and gardens! I have a NT membership pass so am able to visit for free. One of the nice things about all these sites is that they normally have a tearoom and the food is always superb - which makes it the perfect place to take friends to look around and then sit, relax and have a catch up!

Sounds wonderful! I haven't had much of an experience with tea rooms but hope to more in the future. Beautiful.

Image by Damia Bouic, features two images of our common star that were acquired at sunset, one from Earth and one from Mars. Both images are scaled to have the same field of view, however, the Sun appears slightly smaller from Mars than from Earth. This is a result of Mars being ~fifty percent further from the Sun than Earth.

This is amazing!!!!Did you take this???


Part of my wish that I was there to take the photo, then the more practical and rational part of me realizes it would take years to get there and get back and being their I'd likely receive a fatal does of radiation from Jupiter (the Jupiter system can be quite hazardous when it comes to radiation).

That's interesting! So someone had some sacrifice to be able to get this kind of picture?

Fortunately, we send robotic probes to do the job. Juno has been out there analyzing Jupiter's atmosphere and getting us images of the Galilean Moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto). Another robotic probe is going to head out there to explore Europa's oceans (perhaps Ganymede's as well). Another robotic probe is being built that will head to Saturn's moon Titan. It will be a helicopter similar to Enginuity that is currently on Mars. The thick atmosphere and light gravity of Titan will make flying quite easy, but it may have to endure rains of frigid liquid ethane and methane.

Very interesting! I was originally thinking that it was some kind of telescope that did everything I didn't realize the travel and time that it would take to get close enough to capture images like the picture you posted. Amazing what goes into all of this but of course it's not just for a picture but for study.
