On July 20, 1969, Astronauts #NeilArmstrong and #BuzzAldrin became the first #Earth humans to step onto the lunar surface. Together they collected 47.5 pounds of lunar material for return to Earth. An estimated 650 million Earth humans watched this historic event. #Apollo11 set the stage for continued exploration of the #Moon.

Overall, while there may be some actual photographs of planets that are relatively close to us, most depictions of distant planets are likely to be artistic renderings based on scientific models and simulations, rather than actual images.

Similarly, in a 2015 article published in the scientific journal Nature (@nature), researchers noted that most of the exoplanet images we have are “computer-generated artistic representations” that are intended to help us visualize the properties and characteristics of these distant worlds.

NASA’s Exoplanet Exploration website notes that most of the images we have of exoplanets are “artist's impressions” or “conceptual illustrations.” These images are created by artists and scientists based on the available data and scientific models, rather than being direct observations.

So, while these depictions can be incredibly detailed and informative, they are still illustrations rather than images, since they are not based on direct observations or photographs of the planets themselves.

However, since we cannot directly observe these planets with our current technology, the images we see are not actual photographs or representations of what the planet really looks like. Instead, they are artistic interpretations that are meant to help us visualize and understand the characteristics of these distant worlds.

On July 23, 2015, the #KeplerSpaceTelescope has confirmed the first near-Earth-size planet in the “habitable zone” around a #Sun-like #Star, called #Kepler452b. This discovery and the introduction of 11 other small habitable zone candidate planets marked a milestone of searching for habitable #Exoplanets.
