Whether you grew up with a poster of the solar system on your bedroom wall or not, you've probably got a specific idea of what the planets look like. From brilliantly blue Neptune to the "red planet" Mars. But if you managed to actually visit these worlds, you'd find reality... a little beige.

Similarly, Neptune having the same white blue color as Uranus is also more representative of what it actually is: a freezing hyper-density of gas above a pressure-cooked sea of liquids, all in one giant package.

One issue that is often overlooked is that our brain does have automatic white balance much like digital cameras and who knows how that would react to seeing those planets first hand. There is a chance they might seem more vibrant or blander than we think, also they would likely look way different from orbit and from the surface. One neat experiment is wearing red blue 3d glasses for a while (30min should be enough), removing them while looking at a wall and alternativelly closing one eye. The wall will have a tint opposite of the filter that that eye was wearing.

The thing that bugs me is when a sci-fi movie/medium depicts nebulas. Nebulas don't look like the false color images from Hubble or JWST. You wouldn't even be able to tell that you were in a nebula. Empty space averages around 100-ish particles per cubed meter, while a nebula can vary from 100 - 10,000 [edit] particles per cubed meter. It would look no different than empty space.

It's worth noting that for most planets we don't have to guess at what it looks like based on what we recorded with digital imaging sensors. You can just point a regular old visual telescope at Jupiter for instance and have a good look at its true colors. And yes, it looks exactly like the image at 6:25, maybe a bit less saturated (who knows, it's not like our monitors are perfect either). You won't get as much detail as that image, but on a good night with half decent gear you can see the bands and storms clearly. An average telescope works great, no need to spend thousands of dollars. Past Jupiter you probably need somewhat nicer gear, and past Saturn I kinda doubt you're gonna see anything more than a colored dot. Uranus and Neptune look pretty much the same through my telescope.

@outputcoupler7819 15 днів тому
@@Let_ToonsThat is a fantastic question! We definitely will see different colors...for certain definitions of "different". The photons emitted from the source most definitely change as they travel to us. There is the redshift caused by the expansion of the universe, there's the redshift caused by gravity. There's also a Doppler shift caused by the relative motion of the bodies. If a planet is moving toward us, its light will be blueshifted. If it's moving away, it will be redshifted. But the boring answer is, all of these things add up to so little you couldn't measure it for anything except the Sun. It's so big you can measure its gravitational redshift, but nothing else is heavy enough, or far enough away, or moving fast enough, for us to measure the difference in its light and the expected light. We're talking about the difference between 500.0 and 500.0000001. It's technically different, but not in any way you could perceive.

@cosby714 Місяць тому
I think it's important to understand that color choice in astronomical images usually isn't to make a picture look the most accurate or the most beautiful, it's usually to show the most detail. Sometimes the colors are chosen to pick out specific details in a certain wavelength, or just to highlight certain features of an object. Most nebulae for instance would probably be a reddish brown to our eyes, or maybe blue and black. Even if you invented an FTL drive and managed to zip over to one, it would still look fairly dull. Still beautiful, in my opinion, but not very vibrant. One of the few that actually does show color is the orion nebula, which is also very close and very bright. It may be the brightest nebula in the sky, you can even see it faintly in the suburbs on a clear night.

Indeed, to our unfiltered eyes, the universe is quite a dull looking place. Years ago I had a good look at both Saturn and Jupiter through a home astronomical telescope that I purchased (a pretty big one too) and while I was awestruck viewing those two planets for the first time directly with my own eyes, visually they were almost greyscale. No vibrant colors, in fact virtually no color at all 🤷♂️

@DavidDatura Місяць тому
@@essaboselin5252 the point I’m trying to make is about viewing planets naturally with our own eyes. Not long time exposures using cameras. The colors are there, but we are unable to view them due to those limitations. So if one is traveling in a future spaceship to say Jupiter, what we see out of a window with our natural vision would be underwhelming and dull. Mainly due in part to Jupiter’s distance from the sun. It would still be fantastic to see such an incredible planet close up of course. It just won’t be very bright or colorful. Like what we see here on Earth due to its much closer proximity to the sun. And the natural evolution of our vision to make the most of it. Maybe if some theoretical Alien evolved around Jupiter, with the low visible light spectrum levels there. They would see it in a much better ‘light’ so to speak, than we ever could.

After being obsessed with Mars as a kid, and learning much more about all the other bodies of the solar system, my favorite shifted to be Uranus. No, not because of the name or jokes, but because it was just such an outlier to the others. It's named the Greek version of a classic god, not the Roman one like all other planets, Its rotational axis is severely tilted and more. I also just thought the image of a nearly perfectly shaded hazy green/blue planet (depending on the image) was interesting. All other planets had some features but Uranus was almost like a perfect marble, unscarred and mysterious. Then later I learned more facts about it that just added more mystery to it. It also cemented more in my head as my favorite once I figured that the vast majority of exoplanets are probably just Uranus'. perfectly featureless hazy icegiant marbles slowly drifting at odd angles at distant orbits around their stars. Almost like a default planet, which is odd to think of as a favorite but I suppose that makes it special in our system

"Sad Beige Solar System For Sad Beige Planets" sounds like the hit album by rock band "The Color-Blind Astronomers." I imagine the album title is also a song title.

I’ve always considered space pictures as a fiction, it might be why I’ve never been as interested in physics. However, seeing the rings around Saturn through a telescope in Hawaii blew my mind!

I have noticed when looking through telescopes that the colours aren't quite so pronounced as they seem in the pictures, so this isnt a complete surprise to me. It doesn't make the cosmos any less extraordinary to me, either. I saw the recent eclipse, and noticed how, though I thought the colours of photos were quite accurate overall, the size and appearance of the total eclipse yielded some interesting surprises. It looked so small and distant for one! It was kind of nice to be surprised like that

@samskpopcorner Місяць тому
i think this has only been explained poorly to me before because hearing about false colors is actully super cool. it gives us a way to view light that we cannot see even if its all a construct. but a construct that lets us experience something that otherwise would have been impossible is worth the construct and the “lies”

dude as someone who is colorblind I love how you say, "for non colorblind people" cones are. I really like that. Usually I hear cones are this unless you are color blind. Makes me feel ever so slightly bad. but this makes me feel ever so slightly better. I'm not blind to colors. i see them differently. and it is fine to see this way.

So when we look for life out there, we should look for not-beige, right? If it's colorful like Earth, then it probably has life, I guess.
@05Matz Місяць тому
Hmm, that's one way to think about it, I guess. But another might be that we perceive the most detail in colour ranges commonly found on Earth, allowing us to divide the range into many different 'colours', because we evolved here. Any other life out there might have a visible range that covers THEIR planet with a whole bunch of 'distinct' colours while compressing the extremes (of whatever they can see at all) more likely on other planets into their equivalents of 'reddish beige' and 'bluish grey'.
@LuisAldamiz Місяць тому
@@05Matz - Good point. We should at least probably include the ultraviolet that many insects and fishes do see here on this planet at the very least. Infrared is also useful at least for snakes, as it identifies warm blooded animals particularly. For other ranges however I'd say that radiation is too weak (sub-infrared range) or too intense and destructive (super-ultraviolet range) for it to be meaningful to life's existence.
