Yeah, you got 'em all right, only an idiot would believe that the same technology level boost that allowed us to send interplanetary probes to the outer Solar System would also result in far better telescopic imaging, especially today's space-based telescopes that didn't exist when that first photo was taken in 1879 by Irish astronomer Agnes Mary Clerke.
I think you might be stupid. Have that checked out by a competent idiot-wrangler.
Land based planetary photographs are actually thousands of photographs taken in one night and run through a software which chooses the least atmospherically distorted photos and stacks them on top of each other enhancing the sharpness and details to an extreme degree.
Gosh do you think that computers and software might have gained any power or sophistication since before the planetary flybys? Let me go check my Commodore Pet to see how it handles large JPEGs.
Sorry man I was just throwing out an interesting tidbit because I just recently got into astrophotography with a 130mm Newtonian with a tracking mount and a cheap cannon mark 2 camera. I wasn’t trying to fuel that retards argument.
I'm just gonna come out and say it... the earth is fake and gay, alright?
Mostly the Southern Hemisphere though. That's where the giant turtle is.
They also had two extra years to advance tech.
Voyager 1 was launched on Sept 5, 1977 and encountered Jupiter March 5, 1979
