Man, I'd love to be able to get a really high resolution print of this framed so I can hang it in my living room.
that'd be really cool! it's an amazing photo

#12What are the odds in our lifetime there will be a probe sent into orbit and then down into the atmosphere with high-resolution cameras that can beam back imagery/video of the entire trip? I think it'd be fascinating to see what it's like both above and while descending through the clouds.
Also, is it possible life could exist in the clouds similar to how we now speculate on Venus?

#13Looks like a painting. How cool is it that we actually have the technology to finally see these odd planets!?
For a few hundred years now, we've been looking at the planets. Finally makes it sound like we just did this yesterday or within current life times.

Images hosted by NASA are available to make prints from. Tax dollars funded the images, so the images are made available to the public. If it is hosted from somewhere else where they took the data from NASA and did their own work on it, there could be copyright issues protecting their work. So, find all of the amazing images you like made available by NASA's, and then make your own posters!

I imagine it would be as un-spectacular as flying in a plane through clouds. Nothing to see. It would be that all the way to the point the camera melted and/or crushed.

For the past few hundred years until recently, we've been seeing bright and fuzzy dots. There's a difference between that, and ~640000 square pixels worth of details we see in the article.

#18For one Hubble, something like a dozen of Keyhole spy telescopes have been launched [0]. Just imagine the kind of science we would have gotten if we launched a dozen of Hubbles instead... [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KH-11_Kennen
Imagine if those satellites were never made, we wouldn't have had the Hubble space telescope either.
What that says about us, I'm not sure if I want to know.

#19I'm really disappointed that JWST doesn't support visible light imaging. Maybe there's better science value to non-visible light sources but for PR it is great.
