the solar system

These photos were taken from this website, Photo Tour of the Solar System.  Beautiful images, although I don't understand how such detailed shots are actually taken.  





Saturn

The Moon

This is what's called a Near Earth Object.  This one is called Eros.  :)

Now these images are of Jupiter, and they're blowing my mind.  

The south pole of Jupiter.  How did they take this perfectly centered image?

This is Io, a moon of Jupiter

Europe, another moon of Jupiter

Ganymede, another moon of Jupiter
