    Robotic probes launched by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and others are gathering information all across the solar system. We currently have spacecraft in orbit around the Sun, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, a comet, Jupiter, and Saturn; two operational rovers on Mars; and a recent close flyby of Pluto. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are still performing experiments in low Earth orbit and sending back amazing photos. With all these eyes in the sky, I’d once again like to put together a recent photo album of our solar system—a set of family portraits—as seen by our astronauts and mechanical emissaries.

    Fantastic images. That one of the sandstone on mars is so familiar. Could be anywhere on earth.

    Excellent link _Tombstone_ ... many thanks for posting.

    A blog well worth following is that written by the Planetary Society's Emily Lakdawalla. On a monthly basis it includes a review of what's up in the Solar System along with an excellent graphic by Olaf Frohn. An example for September is at http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2016/0831-whats-up-september-2016.html
