Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77732870 How, if the camera could ONLY take photos of the "backsides" of planets, were these subject-lighted photos taken? [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] Who says the camera could only take photos of the back sides of the planets? (And what is a "back side", anyway?) The planets are all lit by the sun, so the best photos are all of the sunlit sides. Still, if you're on the far side of the planet from the sun, there's still some light leaking through the atmosphere and - unless you're directly on the far side - from whatever side the sun is on. Meanwhile, this is a 9+ minute video. If you have a question about any of the photos used, it would be extremely helpful to mention when they're shown. |

The planets in the "simple" part if they were between the sun and camera would be dark. That would be the "backside". The planets are behind the sun in the photos and reflecting light back to the camera. |
