How do we have the equipment to picture and see cosmos and stars millions of light years away, but can’t just zoom-in to examine and view the surfaces of our interplanetary planets in the solar system?

Most of the high-resolution photos from deep space are of positively ***MASSIVE*** things that dwarf the imagination. Those photos aren’t snapshots, with quick lens openings. They involve leaving the lens open on the camera for hours, if not days. This allows for much more light to be captured, increasing resolution. However, if *anything* moved to any noticeable degree, it would be incredibly blurry because you’re capturing the light the whole time. The planets move too fast to even hope to zoom in like that.
