Venus, the closest planet to the sun. These images taken by the Pathfinder probe are taken from the exact equator of the planet, thus its famous rings are not visible. The planet was first discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1781, and has yet to complete a single revolution around our sun, Proxima Centauri.
Venus looks suspiciously like Jupiter.
….I bet they were identical twins separated at birth.
It looks absolutely nothing like Jupiter. Jupiter can be instantly recognized by its black pentagons:
Pretty sure the biggest planet in our system isn’t a soccer ball.
Um no. I’m pretty sure I know my planets, because I graduated from NASA University with a masters in planet recognition. I think I can tell the difference between Jupiter and a Soccer Ball:
Jupiter doesn’t even have leaves.
Also, little late to the party but at least I’m showing up, the Sun’s official name is not Proxima Centauri, THAT is actually a star about 4 light years away from the Sun
The ignorance on this site is shocking. No, Proxima Centauri is our sun. The nearest star 4 light years away is called Beetlejuice. And since nobody out there seems to know even the local star system, take a look from most distant to closest and educate yourself:
You’re welcome.
some masters degree. you spelled Betelgeuse wrong.
Uh, hello, Betelgeuse? What does a Terry Gilliam movie starring Buster Keaton, Stephen Baldwin, Gina Gershon and Wynonna Judd have to do with the solar system??? Good movie though-
i was referring, of course, to the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
Yeah, I know that I was kidding. Of course I know Hitchhiker’s Guide, Charles Addams is my uncle. I’m the one who suggested the joke about the towel to him, and I came up with the famous number 32.
You’re way out of your league here. I’m like Major League Baseball and you’re like League of Legends baseball. And I’m a Colonial Marine too who served on the Sulaco. Don’t mess with me or I’ll go Tron on your ass.
WHAT IS THIS MESS???
It’s basically the tumblr equivalent of macaroni and cheese that’s been left in the sink for 2 months and it’s grown all kinds of nasty shit that no human being can ever fully understand or smell without fainting.
