THE CLEAREST IMAGE OF VENUS EVER TAKEN BY JAPAN’S AKATSUKI SPACECRAFT

The contrast between the gold of the sulphur and black of the carbon is very striking! Is that bright part at the top the solar wind?

Madara would be proud

So…fucking…COOL! Thank you Japan!

Thank you Pein, the gravity ninjutsu is very useful 😊

Nagato would be proud 🫡

Every time I see pictures of space, I always get this intense feeling of longing to be up there exploring the universe. Something about it just gives me this huge feeling of home. Like I’m suppose to be out there going all over the place.

Amazing. Next up; Uranus.

What’s the mission of Akatsuki?

The hottest planet. I thought it was red. Some filter?

SOMEBODY MAKE A FUCKIN NINJA VIDEOGAME HERE

Venus in truecolor (as in, what you would see if you were physically approaching Venus with your own eyes) looks like this, for reference: [Imgur](https://imgur.com/1AcsGog)

OP’s picture is false-color because the Akatsuki spacecraft was photographing wavelengths not visible in the spectrum we can see, therefore the need to use false-color editing

Makes sense if you hear the electromagnetic waves it emits.

Cool! Link to a highres version?

Is there a photo without the logo? 

Enthralling farscape. So deadly.

Nature’s abstract art hitting different in space 🎨

Very Cool! But why you yelling at me bro.

THE CLEAREST IMAGE OF literal Hell. Imagine being killed 4 different ways, at the same time.

Venus apparently looks like a Vincent van Gogh painting

This is gorgeous

900 degrees F at the surface
atmosphere of sulphuric acid

Constant acid rain and thunderstorms

Holy shit
