No Analogy: Seven images taken by LCROSS lunar mission, 22nd June 2009.
These images were taken the day before LCROSS' first swingby of the moon. Your guess is as good as mine.

A very special day for ohyeahouterspace; 12th July 2011, the 1st anniversary of the discovery of Neptune.
Neptune was discovered on 23rd September 1846 through the work of Bouvard, Le Verrier, and Galle. Since Neptune's year is 164.8 Earth years long, the first Neptunian anniversary of that date is today.
Accordingly, you can look forward to an entire day ohyeahouterspace posts dedicated to Neptune and the Neptunian system.

Ceres, photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope, 21st January 2009.
Ceres was originally considered a new planet, then classified as an asteroid (it resides in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter), and has recently been recategorized as a dwarf planet.
This image is a mosaic of 4 Hubble instruments. The brightness is super jacked-up, which makes it all deliciously grainy. What the waffle pattern is about, exactly, I don't know.

Sky King Star
To find the ohyeahouterspace photos I post here, I spend some quality time trawling thru various NASA archives. In a sense, the blog is a post-hoc reason to justify this activity, because the archival experience is both cryptic and fascinating.
In any case, I recently spent quite a while clicking thru a sequence of images from VG2's approach to Uranus. In each image the planet is a little bit bigger but, even when it fills the frame, no detail becomes apparent.
In the VG2 photos, no matter how close you get, Uranus is completely featureless; a blank globe hanging in space.
Despite this placid appearance, however, storm winds in the Uranian atmosphere are known to rage at 900 kilometers an hour.
I'm not entirely sure what poetic truth is told by this scientific image but, as my therapist used to say, "There's something there, isn't there?"
(Later studies by the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered bright clouds and dark spots at certain wavelengths. As soon as I find the pictures, I'll bring them to you.)
