If you read the captions, you can clearly tell some of that is total bullshit.

The Hubble Space Telescope looked to the stars in 2013 and found a character from the classic video game Space Invaders.

Saturn's small moon Atlas is an identified orbiting object that happens to look a bit like the classic Earth version of a retro-style UFO piloted by aliens.

Citizen scientist Jason Major processed an image taken by NASA's Juno spacecraft in 2017. The rotated image shows two storms that look like eyes and a wide mouth etched into the planet's swirling storm systems.

Dwarf planet Pluto displays an interesting surface in this 2016 image from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft. It shows an icy-plains region with a strange black formation near the center.


Processed the image? Does that mean Photoshopped the Image?

How in the hell do they know there are storms on a planet 365 MILLION miles away?
They don't.
Those "Storms" Never End. The Red Eye is supposedly a storm. It never changes!

Icy Plains Region? Pluto is 4.67 BILLION miles away. Maybe it's really white sandy beaches? It's all guessing.

I just don't buy what the Nasa people are selling. They have to keep their funding coming though. It's great entertainment.

They had Pluto as a planet forever, then declassified it. Now it's considered a "Dwarf Planet" Why didn't they just leave it alone?

So if they would have reworded the captions you would have believed it to be true?

Not at all.
Storms on Jupiter? How come they never move and always look the same?

I guess you could say storms there last a million years? Or maybe its not a storm at all. It's a guess.

Icy fields on a Planet billions of miles away? Could it be white sand and 100 degrees? 1,000 degrees? Maybe.

It's all imaginative thinking.

I've heard there are some people out there who actually think the earth is round. Can you believe that shit?

Yeah....we just look.Silly There is no such thing as thermal imaging and so forth , or the other 50 different imaging dynamics. You're starting to sound like one of those " Flat earther " kinda dudes.

This article explains how they do it in regards to the images.
So YES it's pretty much like they photoshop/edit them before being released to the public.

When Hubble beams down images, astronomers have to make many adjustments, such as adding color and patching multiple photos together, to that raw data before the space observatory's images are released to the public.

Common sense tells everyone it's round.

Other than the sun, You can thermal image something hundreds of millions, or even multiple Billions of miles away and much much smaller than the sun? LOL, OK.

YES!....you fool , it's called a spectrometer!


What is a spectrometer?

A spectrometer is an tool commonly used by astronomers which splits the light collected by a telescope into its colors. This allows astronomers see the details in the light from space. Astronomers know how to get a lot of special information about a space object by studying its light. By using spectrometers, we can find out the temperature of an object in space, learn which direction it is traveling, find out how fast it is going, figure out its weight and even find out what it is made of. Spectrometers help us learn all of this from light!

We pretty much knew down to 99% fact exactly what mars was 40 years ago before viking rovers 1&2 ever landed on it.

You really need to step back from the typing part of this conversation and do some god damn research. You sound like that guy months ago that was arguing with me about the polar core drilling that dated back 20,000 years ago. In which those sample showed what our atmosphere was like down to the exact decade.....and he still argued that they couln't be real. For fucks sake , some of you have your head in the sand when it comes to absolute 100% scientific proof.

You should probably read up on what a scientist does and how they derive their data.

Let me help you with that, from say Wiki or others.

A scientist is a person engaging in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge that describes and predicts the natural world.

They exhibit a strong curiosity about reality. Until the late 19th or early 20th century, scientists were called "natural philosophers" or "men of science"

In laymans terms, you could say their predictions, or philosiphies are "Educated Guesses"

I know all that.
Sorry but thermal imagining wont work on something that small or that far away as our other planets.

It works for the sun because the sun is 110 times bigger than earth. Think about that for a second. And it's only 93 million miles away. If it was 93 billion, it would be mighty cold. And dark. Even if it was as far as pluto at 4.67 billion miles, it would be cold and dark.

Good luck with the others. Too small and too far. Got anything else?

***sigh***.....this will be my last reply to you , because you are to stupid to even understand what you're talking about. Why you're frantically trying to google shit to prove a point on something you have no clue about....let me fill you in on something. The sun is NOT 110 times bigger than the earth. The sun is 1.3 million times greater than the earth! Meaning you could fit 1.3 million earths inside it.

All stars ( suns ) put out heat , in various ways and colors , temps , ect... Meaning?......that once we can view it " here! " on planet earth , we can read it! We wait until a planet crosses in front of it before they can study it. Depending on how that planet reacts to it's neighboring sun , gives us a ton of information.

You truly are an idiot. You're googling things so fast about things you don't understand , you're reading the first two lines in your search and just blabbing them out. Haha.....I'll spend my time talking with someone who actually knows what he's talking about. Sun only a 110 times bigger than the earth? haha........pretty small sun to warm up a complete solar system. Ya whack job.

You realize how much SpaceX could have made if they would have made a phone call to Nike before the launch? " Hey Nike.....if you wanna put some coin down , we'll make sure when we launch , the exhaust burn will look like a big Nike swish!.....except it'll be upside down."

That was cool as hell void!

It's him. It's always him. The dude literally lives at his desk and and looks for people to debate / argue with every.....single....day. Over all the years I have seen him post here , usually after a few weeks to a month , I know it's him again. Going on about account #70. Bugs me when he dips into threads like this that I'm passionate about. I'm not ashamed to admit I'm a total geek for this kinda stuff. Anything to do with the Ocean , Biology , space , science in general....I love it. Then you get some jack hole that comes in and stinks up the whole thread.

Yeah, as a general rule I'm a proponent of letting people be anonymous and not bringing their IRL personas onto the board, but I have to admit that he's one guy I wouldn't mind to have us all take up a collection and purchase Eddie's services to bring everything about PaulyG out in the open.......!

I saw a titan IV launch from Vandenberg once. Was really cool. You shudda bin thair. Them's real noisy.
