Viewing Planets from Planets

[Knight of Clear Skies]

Came across this on Reddit and thought it was worth sharing, it shows the relative apparent size of each planet when viewed from every other one.

Might be easier to view in a new browser window here.

Some interesting things to note. For example, you don't get a much bigger view of Saturn from Mars than you do from Mercury, as the inner solar system is far smaller than the outer.

If you were on Jupiter or Saturn, then the solar system would be a little boring

Scale seems perfect for us

I think the earth would be a great target for a planetary imager on Mars, along with Jupiter and Saturn being just a little bigger than they are for us stuck here. That's where I'd hang out anyway

Very helpfull thanks. Makes you realise that the pictures on the box and other literature they supply is just to hook unsuspecting Pepole. Thanks for the like

Very nice diagram. From Mars and beyond, Earth would show phases, of course

Mercury's solar images would rock.

Don't be ridiculous! Everybody knows they don't sell telescopes on Mercury.... not until Amazon gets this Drone delivery thing going anyways.

Mercury's solar images would rock.

Just add cloud to all images as seen from earth and it would be accurate.

Jupiter or Saturn would be a nightmare to image from, chances are there will always be at least one full moon.
