Gorgeous...
But I've always been curious, I've heard it both ways: If I were on a space ship exploring the outer planets looking out a regular-ass glass window, would the rings of Jupiter, Neptune, and Uranus even be visible to the naked eye? I mean I know Saturn's rings are incredibly apparent, but for the other 3 gas giants?
For example, many of the Voyager pics of Uranus don't have the rings visible, and the ones that do are colored oddly and make me assume that this is some kind of massive false-color high-gain thing to make them visible.
- KyleBerezin 3y agoI don't believe so. Many things you see in space like nebula, would not really be visible to the naked eye even if you were in the middle of them. Don't let the fact that primate eyes can't see it detract from the grandeur though. Even the planet itself would be dim, at 20AU from the sun, it would be 400x dimmer than the earth, close to the brightness of dawn/dusk on earth.
