Planet Pictures: Then vs Now

Humanity has come a long way in more than 100 years of space photography. Back then, we could only have blurry photos of planets, with almost nothing to see. Now, space telescopes like James Webb provide us with high resolution planet images that are colorful and detailed. If you're looking for some “then vs now” content, look at these cool pictures of planets and compare their first photos to the latest ones.

Nowadays, almost everyone has an Instagram account (we do too – be sure to check it out; there’s a lot of additional content that’s not on the website). We think that if the planets could, they would definitely register on this platform. For fun, we’ve imagined how the best planet photos would look in the Instagram feed and come up with nicknames for them (any similarities with real nicknames are coincidental).
