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?
In: Physics
Most of our zooming in actually reconstructions of different spectographs (measures specific wavelengths of light), recordings of radio emissions (more random than talk shows, but just as informative if you listen in high def), and filling in the gaps with scientific guesses.
These processes are different for each type of feature of the galaxy, especially planets. Many planets reflect information around them but don’t produce any information about themselves.
