Voyager 2 acquired this image fewer than 5 days before its closest approach to Neptune on August 25, 1989. You can see Neptune’s Great Dark Spot – a storm in its atmosphere – and the bright, light-blue smudge of clouds that accompanies the storm.
The only spacecraft to visit Neptune thus far.

On Nov. 11, 2019, the planet Mercury crossed the face of the sun in a rare Mercury transit.
This image, from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, shows Mercury as a small black dot as it approaches the left edge (or limb) of the sun to begin the transit.

Voyager 2 acquired the images for this high-resolution mosaic of Triton on August 25, 1989. The south pole is at the left; several of Triton's famous south polar geysers are visible. Toward the equator at right, Triton is covered with a strange "cantaloupe terrain".

That's all very cool and all.
I do love space stuff.
Explain their mocked up picture? Looks awfully like they're on the moon and Earth is a burnt out husk.....
We must really fuck up in next few years.
Unless they are showing moon to Mars as stepping stone, which in itself is odd given the distance.
