Description:

I have photographeted all the planets in the form of Ghirigori ( that is scribbles) in order to better appreciate and compare their nuances. By shocking them in the eyepiece field, the different nuances of the various details visible on their surface - such as the bands and storms of Jupiter, or the polar cap of Mars - blend better with each other and return a nuance as close as possible to the combination of the different parts, which not even a simple 'in focus image' would obviously be able to give. With a single mosaic we can notice the differences between their shades. As with stars, their colours tell us something objective about the individual planets, about the composition of their atmospheres or soil. The blue is taken from the popular Pale Blue Dot of the NASA.
