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.

As of writing, there are 5,338 exoplanets confirmed and this number is constantly increasing as new planets are being discovered by astronomers using various detection methods, such as the transit method, radial velocity method, and gravitational microlensing method.

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.
