Isn't that artificially colored?
Ya, but I rather think about it as an 'enhanced spectrum' image. The structures you see are all real and similarly coloured, it's just enhanced
Ahh, yes. Crank the saturation, crush the shadows, and blast the highlights.
Jupiter's gonna have a bomb tinder profile now
Or Planets Only
Pluto:…
Almost all gas giant images are
The famous Jupiter one isn't.
Yeah. Neptune's a dull grey.
Not quite. It's based on real wavelenths detected, but they might've been arificially assigned colours (although I think the images this is based on sort of correspond to human perception). But the colours are massively adjusted and contrast increased way past the point I would consider reasonable.
These images are mindblowing. Bring me back down to Earth? Do you have a favorite image with reasonable coloring and contrast?
