Spectacular images, considering the tools they have to work with. Surface imaging is still a LONG way off though.

I dunno man,the speed we're advancing at,I reckon it'll only be another 5-10,maybe 15 years off.

with the closeups they can get of galaxies,which are much further away.I wonder how big they can get this picture if they tried a little harder. It'd be great to see its surface

Um... Galaxies emit quite a lot more light than planets though Xes.

yeah,that's what I ment by try a bit harder,and by try a bit harder,I half ment maybe they'll find a new technique soon. We're advancing in science at quite an allarming rate,who knows what's just around the corner
