"The Surprising True Colors of Planets Revealed"

The colors we perceive in images of planets from space probes are not necessarily what our eyes would see, as space cameras capture images using specific wavelengths of light. Mercury appears gray and slightly brownish, Venus is bright white with yellow-beige hues, Earth is captured fairly accurately by color cameras, Mars varies in color due to its changing distance from the Sun, Jupiter displays brilliant cloud bands and spots, Saturn appears pale yellow-beige with pastel cloud bands, Uranus is pale greenish-blue, and Neptune is pale blue with a hint of green. The true colors of these planets are subjective and can be affected by factors such as distance from the Sun and image processing.

Stunning 360-Degree Earth View from 500 Kilometers Above

Insta360 has successfully sent a pair of Instax360 X2 action cameras into space, capturing 360-degree views of Earth, stars, and the Milky Way galaxy. This marks the first time a 360-degree action cam has reached space. The cameras underwent extensive modifications to withstand extreme temperatures, radiation, shocks, and vibrations. After months of research and development, the cameras are now in orbit, transmitting photos and videos back to Earth using a specially developed communication network.
