Look at the artists impression of a planet, that somebody created, just like most space images where you can make out shapes and colours.

Artist rendition?

Any planet outside of our solar system is an artists render.

The top comment is right. Any galaxy or planet pictures are made by artist. Even the colors of our galaxy is with added color by artist.
HundredsAnd100s
Not for artistic effect, though. The colors indicate different elements or waveslengths, or emphasize features the eye would otherwise miss.
theblockbuster9000
Other galaxies can be photographed directly. Not ours. Either way, they typically add false color for relief.

It's a "she" because the artist depicted it as pink...??!!

We call it 'mother earth' too, don't we? Stop being offended over literally nothing.
Owlsdude
Planet is a feminine noun in romance languages
Owlsdude
You guys are right about spanish and italian, I got misguided by the "a" ending. It's feminine in French
Dislex1a
no, preety sure its male, at least in spanish and italian.
BouncingFerret
Are you just looking for a reason to be offended... ??!!
symbholic
:-D I am not offended but very suprised about the harsh reactions. They seem kind of ... offended? :-) Never mind me, have fun! (no sarcasm)
ztygs
I always use several exclamation marks and question marks when I'm calm and not upset. Lmao, ok.
5amNonsense
It's a she because we call inanimate objects "she" for reasons that are beyond my reckoning
cyberimg
Well, earth is also a she. I think all planets are she, unless if they are linked to a greek or roman (male) god.
symbholic
That might be. It's just that only one planet is linked to a female god. Maybe the moons? There are many females. And a few planetoids.
smadge1
Should’ve put a ring on it

Sad fact is, there will never be a time in our lives more people who see that know it's an artists rendering instead of a photo.

I knew neither since there was not enough data to make a choice.

BearToof
Yeah. Is this just a Neptune/Uranus shot with some kind of filter to detect density or heat or velocity?
AFistfulOfDollHairs
That’s what they want you to think
Lowktar
They can infer chemical compositions based on light spectroscopy. That, coupled with our current understanding of how planets form, gives /2
Lowktar
The artist a more informed approach on how to render what the physical surface may look like.
tzxAzrael
that doesn't mean he's wrong though. it's still not an actual photo, just an "artist's impression (with science)"
AVoiceOfReason
The point was to drive home the fact it's not complete artistic license. It's driven by facts and data.
Lowktar
Thank you!
BozoThePie
And, as we all know, artists are famous for reflecting reality with perfect accuracy, rather than going with what looks better.
MrsF1nch
Depends on the artist
jimjong1
Well if they have nothing in reality to compare it to it can only depend so much
AFatRaccoon
Well there is something called artistic integrity

No, not really. For this you will hire scientific illustrators not just random artists... that would be terrible.

We have artist renderings based off what we know. But it probably doesn't look like that at all.

But we do know what their atmospheres are made of, and how light refracts due to Rayleigh scattering.

Do we even have surface images of Jupiter or farther?

Well, there is no surface on a gas giant planet. of Pluto's surface, though it is no longer classified as a planet.

Imo, I think it’s a uv image or filtered image of Jupiter (possibly Uranus). I recognize that color scheme from space books
astronomygeek7
Yeah, I was going to say this is an artist’s rendering of what a planet could look like. It is cool though. Should give the artist credit.

Gorgeous pixels.

The eyeball star there is an artifact of trying to block out it's light so the planets can be observed.

That is most likely the shade they place over the star to cut the sunlight so they can see the planets better.

bekkivan42
Not if you bleach it
AVoiceOfReason
Spectroscopy. You actually can predict colour based on elemental composition, atmosphere, etc. It's not pure imagination.
kingoffoo
I know. Brown and pink are both non-monochromatic and right next to one another on the scale... now don't Google 'brown or pink'! ;D
UnagiFerrin
Colorization of pics is based on spectrometry that can tell what gases are present which would give the colouration of the planet.

What part of "Rtist Depickshun" do people not understand?

So, nasa brought an actual artists to the planet to draw it?

None of... I do not understand any part of that word i misspelled 3 times and gave up and restructured my sentence for.

This, I understand the desire to make astronomy more relatable by put up nice images but it creates a false impression of what we can do 1/2

Hello, flat earther.
cbale2000
No, no, this is actually true. A lot of space "photography" has things like false-color images, or images based on radio telescope data...
cbale2000
... it's not to say these "photos" are necessarily fake, just that they tend to show things that really look very different to the eye.
ExcuseMe2
The term you are looking for is composites.

Its not flat, its turd shaped
ExcuseMe2
Like you?
kingoffoo
Yes
3141592pancake
Yup, at least about the part where it's an artist rendition. Who knows what color is actually is?
RobotOverlordFromTheFuture
Well, tbh that's pretty much what we do know. We analyze the object's spectrum and determine the composition based on these wavelengths.
DaveTBull
SonderingStrike
We can also predict mass based on its orbit, and its size by... well, its size. So we can get a pretty good idea of what it is
3141592pancake
Right. I mostly meant that there may be some artistic license. We have lots of tools to ID qualities of exoplanets, but we've only ->
3141592pancake
Directly imaged those in our solar system in high resolution. We know for certain what those look like. False color imagery is sometimes->
3141592pancake
Used to accentuate contrasts or emphasize structures, like the hex shaped clouds at Saturn's poles or lunar terrain.
