Finding a link with a .tiff file for this one has been… hard… but it’s still really cool.
This is NOT an artist’s rendering. This is a direct image of an exoplanet, Beta Pictoris B:
Beta Pictoris B orbiting its star
Beta Pictoris, the star, is the large, blurred out circle in the middle. Beta Pictoris B is the small, light, pixelated circle at the bottom right of the star.
How cool is this?
Woops! Sorry for the late post. Almost forgot about this series… heh…
Anyways… here’s a really cool picture of the galaxy M64. It’s really pretty, IMO…

As promised, here’s Charon. I went with this photo because it’s something interesting to think about.

What, you thought I wouldn’t include Pluto? No, it’s not my favorite planet, but New Horizons’ mission there was awesome, and this is one of the many reasons why.
And yes, next week will be Charon.
Pluto’s Colorful Composition
Hubble caught the beating heart of the Crab Nebula, and it’s amazing. Enjoy!
