The Solar System Family Portrait is an image of many of the Solar System's planets and moons acquired by MESSENGER during November 2010 from approximately the orbit of Mercury. The mosaic is intended to be complementary to the Voyager 1's Family Portrait acquired from the outer edge of the Solar System on February 14, 1990. The portrait was constructed using 34 individual frames acquired using the Mercury Dual Imaging System, targeting areas surrounding each planet. The first series of images was acquired on November 3, 2010, and the second on November 16. See full resolution image

  • Le Portrait de famille du système solaire (en anglais : Solar System Family Portrait) est une image du système solaire acquise par MESSENGER en novembre 2010 depuis l'orbite de Mercure. La mosaïque est destinée à être complémentaire du Portrait de famille par Voyager pris depuis le bord extérieur du système solaire le 14 février 1990. Le portrait a été construit en utilisant 34 images individuelles acquises en utilisant les caméras MDIS, en ciblant les zones entourant chaque planète. La première série d'images a été acquise le 3 novembre 2010, et la seconde le 16 novembre. (fr)

  • The Solar System Family Portrait is an image of many of the Solar System's planets and moons acquired by MESSENGER during November 2010 from approximately the orbit of Mercury. The mosaic is intended to be complementary to the Voyager 1's Family Portrait acquired from the outer edge of the Solar System on February 14, 1990. The portrait was constructed using 34 individual frames acquired using the Mercury Dual Imaging System, targeting areas surrounding each planet. The first series of images was acquired on November 3, 2010, and the second on November 16. See full resolution image Six planets are visible in the mosaic. From left to right: Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, and Saturn. Uranus and Neptune were too small to resolve at this distance (3.0-billion and 4.4-billion kilometers respectively). Careful effort was taken to avoid facing the camera toward the Solar System's central star, the Sun, due to the intense heat at close distance. Several moons are visible in the photo, including the Earth's Moon, and all four Galilean moons: Callisto, Ganymede, Europa, and Io. Additionally, part of the Milky Way is visible between Neptune and Mars. Because MESSENGER does not follow the same orbital plane as the Earth, the cameras on the spacecraft had to point up and down from the ecliptic to capture all of the planets. This resulted in a curved mosaic. Although somewhat closer to Earth, a similar so-called family portrait of the Earth, Venus and Mars was taken by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft on 18 November 2020.

  • Le Portrait de famille du système solaire (en anglais : Solar System Family Portrait) est une image du système solaire acquise par MESSENGER en novembre 2010 depuis l'orbite de Mercure. La mosaïque est destinée à être complémentaire du Portrait de famille par Voyager pris depuis le bord extérieur du système solaire le 14 février 1990. Le portrait a été construit en utilisant 34 images individuelles acquises en utilisant les caméras MDIS, en ciblant les zones entourant chaque planète. La première série d'images a été acquise le 3 novembre 2010, et la seconde le 16 novembre. Six planètes sont visibles dans la mosaïque. De gauche à droite : Vénus, la Terre, Jupiter, Mars, Mercure et Saturne. Uranus et Neptune étaient trop petites pour apparaître à cette distance (3,0 milliards et 4,4 milliard de kilomètres, respectivement). Des précautions ont été prises pour éviter d'orienter la caméra vers le Soleil à cause de la chaleur intense à courte distance. Plusieurs satellites naturels sont visibles sur la photo, dont la Lune, et les quatre lunes galiléennes : Callisto, Ganymède, Europe et Io. En outre, une partie de la Voie lactée est visible entre Neptune et Mars. Parce que MESSENGER ne suit pas le même plan orbital que la Terre, les caméras sur le satellite devaient pointer vers le haut et vers le bas à partir de l'écliptique pour capturer toutes les planètes. Il en résulte une mosaïque courbe. (fr)
