I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖
This is gorgeous. If you wanted to spend the time (not asking you to) I would totally read a blog/post about what each image is and inspect the full image, that is how awesome this is
Yellow: Io basemap (composite image)
Images from Voyager's vidicon and Galileo's solid-state imaging cameras were stitched together to form this map of Jupiter's volcanically active moon

Voyager! Vidicon!! Yes, folks, Voyager had an old-fashioned TV camera that scanned the imaging plate with an electron beam. In Jupiter’s strong magnetic field. So the resulting images were badly distorted and had to be geometrically corrected (at USGS in Flagstaff, where I was an intern).
