10 astronomical photos accompany the years

Along with the process of exploring and conquering the universe, we have obtained beautiful images of the mysterious universe as well as the planet Earth itself, where human beings reside.

Here are 10 most memorable photos in the history of human astronomical space.

1. The first picture took the sun, 1845

Using relatively new technology at the same time, two French physicists Louis Fizeau and Leon Foucault successfully captured images of the first sun on April 2, 1845. The photo was revealed in 1/60-second time, showing a circle about 12 cm and its black streaks (ie black markings on the sun).

2. The first picture of Earth from the Moon, 1966

This is the first photo of Earth taken automatically and transmitted from Lunar 1 satellite orbiting the Moon on August 23, 1966. At a distance of 380,000 km, the shot only captures half of the Earth, from Istanbul (Turkey) to Cape Hao Vong (Africa) and half the hemisphere. Born 3 years before humans could set foot on the moon, this rudimentary black-and-white picture is probably one of the most important photographs of human history of the cosmic conquest.

3. The first color picture 'Growing Earth', 1968

In 1968, Apollo 8 was launched into the Moon orbit with the sole purpose of recording high-resolution images on both sides of the Moon's hemisphere (opposite side and the other side). with Earth). While the tour team surveyed the other half, the Moon's position was always between the ship and the Earth.

After that, when going to the other side, the tour team was shocked to see the Earth rising above the moon for the first time, just like when we watched the Moon rise from below the Earth. The 'fallen child' named 'Earth grows', which was taken immediately afterwards became a famous picture. A new perspective for the first time shows us a fragile and weak Earth planet.

4. Images of moon footprints, 1969

The first man to set foot on the moon, though, was Armstrong, but the first picture of the moon's footprint, the symbol of the giant step of humanity, represents the footprint of the astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Aldrin took a picture of his own footprints during a moon exploration of NASA's 1969 Apollo 11 ship (with the same crew as Neil Armstrong).

5. Blue marble tablet (Blue Marble), 1971

This famous photo is called Blue Marble (Blue Marble). This is the first picture to show the whole Earth. The astronauts of the Apollo 17 captured it on December 7, 1971 when they left Earth's orbit on the moon. They took advantage of the sun behind their backs to get the perfect light for double-shooting the entire planet.

6. The picture of the entire surface of Mars first, 1976

Shortly after Viking 1 satellite set foot on Mars on July 20, 1976, its Camera 2 recorded the first picture of the planet's surface, marking a new era in planetary exploration. Red is geologically similar to earth. This 300-degree resolution image shows a flat and flat plateau in the northern star hemisphere called Chryse Planitia.

7. The first color photo of Venus's surface, 1982

Although Venus's surface temperature is up to 482 degrees Celsius and air pressure is 92 times higher than the pressure on the earth's surface, Russia's Venera No. 13 shuttle captured the first color image of the surface. the second planet's desert in the solar system on January 3, 1982.

8. The first Earth image from Mars, 2003

This is the first picture of the earth with the moon taking the view from Mars on May 8, 2003 by an observing camera outside a NASA planetary satellite survey. Taken from a distance of 139 million kilometers from Earth, the image first showed a slice of the Earth's western hemisphere as well as showing an objective scientific view of the Earth we live in.

9. The first photo of the outer solar system, 2004

The Southern European observatory, which took pictures in 2004, shows the first image of a planet outside the solar system. The circular sphere on the lower left is a young planet (similar to Jupiter) that orbits a faded white dwarf star about 42 times smaller than the sun. The infrared camera took these pictures at 230 light-years away.

10. The universe photo has the largest depth of field, 2004

In the 800 picture types taken after 400 rounds of the Hubble Space Telescope from September 2003 to January 2004, the picture of this speckled galaxy is a deep picture. The largest photo school on the universe has ever been taken. Nearly 10,000 galaxies are present in this picture. It was dubbed the Hubble Super-Deep Image. Scientists likened them as if they were looking through a 2.4-meter-long straw to see the deep core of the universe.
