Every planet in our Solar System, is represented with one of the best pictures ever taken. Look, everything is round, not flat.
This image of Mercury was taken with NASA's Messenger spacecraft in 2011. This photo shows the many tiny craters on this hot planet, named after writers, artists, and musicians.
This photo of Venus is taken from a very long time period, namely years. The dark spots all over the planet were meteorite impacts, and the huge light section right in the center was the Ovda Regio, an enormous mountain range.
This is our home, Earth, captured in 2016 by NASA's DSCOVR satellite. The satellite began taking regular snapshots of the Earth from its stable position at a distance of one million miles.
A number of rover robots have indeed captured the latest photos of Mars, but most of them were taken on the land surface. This photo is taken in 1980, and shows Mars in its entirety. This photo was taken by the orbiter Viking 1. The gap in the center is Valles Marineris, a large canyon along the planet's equator that is among the largest in our Solar System.
The most beautiful photo of Jupiter comes from a photo taken in November 2003 with the camera of NASA's Cassini spacecraft. Interestingly, all that is seen in this image are actually clouds, not the surface of the planet itself. The white and brown rings are all different types of cloud cover.
When the Cassini spacecraft finally made it past Jupiter and onto Saturn, planetary observers' persistence paid off as they managed to obtain incredible photos of Saturn and its moons. This shot is a compilation of a 9-hour photo session that allowed scientists to capture this beautiful backlit scene.
In 1986, the Voyager 2 spacecraft successfully passed Uranus, the ice giant in our Solar System. This planet looks like a turquoise ball without any special features. The dominance of this color is due to the methane cloud fog, which is the last layer of frozen gas on Uranus. It is believed that there is a water cloud somewhere beneath the planet.
Neptune was only discovered in 1846 through mathematical calculations, not because of observations of Uranus' orbital changes led by astronomer Alexis Brouvard with the discovery that there are other planets out there. This image is not very good because Neptune was only visited once by Voyager 2 in 1989. Until now, there is still little picture of this planet.
Pluto had been "kicked" from the list of planets. But since the last three years Pluto's status as a planet is being reconsidered. For a while, we call it a dwarf planet. The New Horizons spacecraft in 2015 captured images of Pluto like the one in this photo.
