Found this breathtaking view on a NASA page.
This montage of images taken by the Voyager spacecraft of the planets and four of Jupiter's moons is set against a false-color Rosette Nebula with Earth's moon in the foreground.
Voyager provided the of images Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and many of their moons.The renamed Voyager Interstellar Mission searches for the edge of the solar wind influence (the heliopause) and exits the solar system. A shortened list of the missions discoveries of Voyager 1 and 2 include: Uranian and Neptunian magnetospheres (magnetic environments caused by various types of planet cores); 22 new satellites including three at Jupiter, three at Saturn, 10 at Uranus, and six at Neptune; active volcanism on Io; active geyser-like structures and an atmosphere on Triton; Auroral Zones (where gases become excited after being hit by solar particles) on Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune; rings at Jupiter; and, large-scale storms on Neptune, originally thought to be too cold to support such atmospheric disturbances.
ps: found two comments for my first post....feels great....awestruck by how a blog can bring starngers together...this can do so much to promote world peace.
