Venus, the closest planet to the sun. These images taken by the Pathfinder probe are taken from the exact equator of the planet, thus its famous rings are not visible. The planet was first discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1781, and has yet to complete a single revolution around our sun, Proxima Centauri.
Venus looks suspiciously like Jupiter.
….I bet they were identical twins separated at birth.
It looks absolutely nothing like Jupiter. Jupiter can be instantly recognized by its black pentagons:
Pretty sure the biggest planet in our system isn’t a soccer ball.
Um no. I’m pretty sure I know my planets, because I graduated from NASA University with a masters in planet recognition. I think I can tell the difference between Jupiter and a Soccer Ball:
Jupiter doesn’t even have leaves.
Also, little late to the party but at least I’m showing up, the Sun’s official name is not Proxima Centauri, THAT is actually a star about 4 light years away from the Sun
The ignorance on this site is shocking. No, Proxima Centauri is our sun. The nearest star 4 light years away is called Beetlejuice. And since nobody out there seems to know even the local star system, take a look from most distant to closest and educate yourself:
