This simulated color global view of the surface of Venus taken by Magellan is centered at 180 ° E longitude. Data gaps in Magellan's data were filled in by information from Pioneer Venus. Most notably, the simulated hues are based on color images from the Soviet Venera 13 and Venera 14 spacecraft.…

Dawn spacecraft from Earth
During the Pioneer IV mission, NASA tested a new space communications system. One component of the system was this 26-meter diameter antenna at Goldstone, California, the first of several antennas that would later constitute nodes in NASA's Deep Space Network. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

This mosaic of Pluto's largest moon Charon was taken by the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) on New Horizons just prior to closest approach on 14 July 2015. The scene at the bottom is approximately 200 kilometers. Resolution is as high as 310 meters. Credit: NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI
MAVEN spacecraft at 242.98 million km from Earth.
Satellite with prominent radio dish antenna.

This image was taken by NASA's Curiosity rover on the surface of Mars on 30 October 2016. Taken by the Mast Camera (Mastcam), the photo shows a smooth-surfaced object about the size of a golf ball which was informally named "Egg Rock." The grid of shiny points visible in the object resulted from…

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) captured this oblique view of the Moon, looking east-to-west over the Apennine Mountains towards Hadley Rille (upper left). Mount Hadley, at center right, casts a long shadow. The crew of Apollo 15 landed between the Apennines and Hadley Rile in 1971.…
New Horizons spacecraft at 6.20 billion km from Earth.

This plaque on board Curiosity bears the signatures of several U.S. officials including that of then-President Barack Obama and Vice-President Joe Biden. The image was taken by the rover's Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) on 19 September 2012, the rover's 44th Martian day on the Red Planet. Credit…
