    Wouldn’t Saturn be tiny compared to Jupiter, given the distance? Is this real?

  3. That’s cool! Are they just aligned like this right now? or are these 2 photos spliced together?

  4. 4″ and smartphone? How!? This is great, dude! They have to be old pics tho. Saturn cannot look like that rn

    Hey u/Entire_Foundation960 – Beautiful pics!

    How did you manage to get such good and clear pics? I have a 5″ telescope and never been able to see as clearly as your pics (of course it could be the pollution in my city).

    6mm lens? Using any barlow or filter?

    Cheers!

    Looking through my telescope and actually seeing these planets always scares me a little. They are really real, you know? These insanely huge gas giants are out there. Space is out there. Black holes are really out there. My brain doesn’t want to reckon with it all. 

  7. It’s still kinda weird to me that we can see these things so far away.

    Like the moon, it’s 238,000 miles away.

    But it’s only 2000 miles across.

    But we see it as a relatively large object on the horizon. We even see details on the surface.

    Jupiter, even moreso.

    Looks like you caught one, maybe two, of Jupiter’s moons too. Super cool!

    I’m confused; how were Jupiter and Saturn able to take your telescope and phone?????? 🤪
