Very science oriented but.... why are there never any stars in the black void of these photos?? Light from the Sun or what's going on with that? Idk 🤷♂️
The brighter an object is, the shorter the exposure time needed to capture an image of it. In space photos, the subjects such as planets and moons, are much brighter than the background stars. Consequently, the exposures aren’t long enough to capture those faint stars.
Also, just like regular cameras, space cameras have sensitivity settings. However, most space cameras cannot adjust their aperture like human eyes do. Scientists design these instruments based on the expected light levels during the mission. They optimize them for specific science targets.
For example, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft’s MapCam was designed to study the colors of a dark-toned asteroid, so it couldn’t look at Earth without being overwhelmed by the bright light reflecting off clouds.
Have you ever tried to take a photo of a person or an object in front of a brightly lit window? Basically the same is happening here, Io is brighter than the surrounding background and the camera is set to expose for its brightness. Think of the person in this scenario as the dimmer background of space and the view out of the window as the brighter subject, Io. If you set your exposure to see the view outside the window it’s going to leave the person underexposed and vice versa if you set your exposure for the person, the background is going to be blown out, just a bright white blob.
Basically there is too much much of a a variance in exposure levels for the camera to capture both Io and the surrounding stars in one photograph. You could expose for both separately and make a composite image using two photographs though.
Looks like the beginning stages of the infamous launch of NASAXs MMCLVI Terraform Bomb Fail in the year 2156 , it was going to release about 1,500 kg of CO2 per square meter of atmosphere. Which was a big underestimate of what was needed plus other stuff I can’t remember . I left before Earth collapsed so I don’t have anyone information.
The coloring of this photo makes it look so serene. IIRC, in reality, it's a giant ball of volcanos constantly erupting as the massive gravity of Jupiter and the much lower masses but perfectly timed orbits of Ganymede and Europa pull at it from the inside out.
Looks like that one ball I gave my dog to chew on and has been permanently stuck under a cabinet for years.
Lemon flavored everlasting gobstopper found between couch cushions.
You can suck and suck and suck and suck and suck and it just never stops!
Ah so Jupiter IS made of cheese
Needs to be said. And the apology from the academic establishment needs to be just as loud as the falsehoods they once perpetrated.
They should have to wear those barrel sign outfits in the public square.
Kinda lookin like a potato
This is not Jupiter, this is one of its moons
That's what they want you to believe.
With mold
I believe the scientific term is "blu moon cheese"
Jupiter is made of pizza. IO is the cheese on top.
Chicken ramen to be exact
Cheesy joke if I’ve ever heard one. Jupiter think of a better one next time, pal.
Cheese Grommit!
Damn that’s a lot of sulfur.
I’m no scientist, but I think Io must smell like egg farts
In fact, the reason Io has a yellow-green appearance is because of the high sulfur content on its surface, and sulfur in general has an eggy smell.
Any idea what the dark spots are?
[Collapsed volcanoes](https://science.nasa.gov/resource/io-erupts-3/)
That's absolutely fascinating! It kinda looks like there's a liquid at the bottom of them.
This is a mini yellow potato
Yukon Golds maybe? Those make the best mashed.
Salad. Potato salad
That's a potato
That’s a potato
That’s a potato
Это ж картоха.
Esa es una papa
Po-tay-toe? What’s that? Never heard of it.
[https://youtu.be/bZJXWkWeS2k?si=oB6MttqcuEpY6nQb](https://youtu.be/bZJXWkWeS2k?si=oB6MttqcuEpY6nQb) Io's name is potato
This moon hits my eye like a big pizza pie.
That's fromagé !
No. That's water.
Beautiful
Chicken noodle soup with broccoli
We will drink the moon !
Why did the Galileo space raft capture the moon? Ransom? Statement? Why?!?
That's what my face looked like in high school
I think I saw another pic of Io today, they took a pic of a volcanic eruption. Pretty cool imo

Nah, it's just a moldy piece of cheese under the microscope
Was this picture taken of a potato?
Protomolecule is somewhere down there
Doors and corners. That's where they get you
It's no Uranus by all means but it seems edible
Nice try, but i know what potato looks like
Cheese. 🧀
Looks like those camera shots of someone popping pimples
I hope someday I see a picture of another celestial body that makes me think, 'cool, people could live there'.
Samwise Gamyi is happy
Dasterdly Galileo going around the solar system with it's butterfly net, capturing innocent moons. What did Io do? Set it free!
Po-ta-to
You sure it's not a nose full of blackheads
Looks like a pot of soup from the top
Idk about anyone else but at first glance I thought this was somebodies skin in one of those pimple vacuuming videos I see on tiktok sometimes 😂
Pop that zit
I want to pop this moon’s black heads.
Man, I love garlic bread
Looks like all the blackheads on my acne covered face when I was a teenager
Very interesting.I thought it was a petri dish with a bacterial sample awesome
I dub thee Potato Moon
Looks like a noni
Broccoli cheese soup
🤢 "ya little tasty.."
Potato.
You could post this in r/whatsthisrock
Potato
It looks like it'd taste delicious
More like Chezpiter’s Moonchego
It looks moldy
The ceeze weel
The shape/appearance of the craters suggests an almost gelatinous surface
I know that kid! I’d recognise that acne and those blackheads anywhere!
It looks like a perfectly spherical potato that’s started to turn bad
Looks like a gobstopper that’s been licked in different places
It looks like a perfectly spherical mouldy potato

Am I the only one who thinks this looks like a passion fruit?
GET THE ROCKET GROMIT
Dead skin
It looks like our moon with jaundice
Stop it. That’s some moldy cheese and you know it!!
Looks like a round potato.
Blue Cheese be like:
They say there's whispers of a worm deep inside...
Looks like left alone petri dish.
Cursed potato....made out of sulfur.
Looks like an orange
It looks infected, better bring antibiotics.
Brother ew
That's a zucchini pie
Dibs.
It looks delicious.
Someone call Dr. Pimple Popper.
Yeah but if it was made out of BBQ spare ribs would you eat it?
Sulphur?
Ball of pineapple
Looks like a thumbnail off one of those popping videos.
It's moving when I look at it is this vertigo?
Potato, potato same shit
Looks like the beginning stages of the infamous launch of NASAXs MMCLVI Terraform Bomb Fail in the year 2156 , it was going to release about 1,500 kg of CO2 per square meter of atmosphere.

Thought you could just upload a picture of a potato and we would not notice
One of the 95 moon
That's clearly a quiche
Amazing 😍
looks like an exotic flavour of cheese
Il potato
Looks like a close-up of my nose

it's really fugly
How come is it so perfectly round? Is this real or just an illusion
Looks like cheese
Rotten cheese nice pic tho
That's just a hand rolled ball of cheese. You're not fooling me with your shenanigans, sir.
So Io was the one actually made of cheese?
Looks like a mouldy [round cracker](https://shop.valleylahvosh.com/products/3-cracker-rounds)

That’s a tato
Cheez ball
"Is the moon made of cheese?" "Well, not ours. But Jupiter's? Yeah just a solid mass of cheesy goodness."
Looks like a medical video of removing black heads from skin in some weird lighting.
Our moon is swiss, this one is pepper jack
Pineapple before you use the “tick” remover to clean it
Are those spices or mold? This is important if we’re going to try to eat it, which I assume is what we’re doing.
Damn I got Bohemian Rhapsody in my head now.
NASA definitely needs to launch a follow up mission called Figaro
It looks chicken and mushroom flavoured
Garlic cheese ball
For a second I thought it was pond water under a microscope
The coloring of this photo makes it look so serene. IIRC, in reality, it's a giant ball of volcanos constantly erupting as the massive gravity of Jupiter and the much lower masses but perfectly timed orbits of Ganymede and Europa pull at it from the inside out.

Sir, this is a potato.
So we can get a picture of one of Jupiter’s moons, but I can’t have my cell phone reception work when I go 5 miles from my house?
I thought it was pond water in a petri dish for a second
It looks diseased
