To get a direct image of a planet, we need to gather the light it is reflecting. Planets in our own solar system are much closer and thus, they appear bigger - and they can often be found far enough away from where the Sun appears to be, so that the Sun's light doesn't affect the imaging effort.
However, when a star is many light years away, and a planet is around it, it will appear very, very close to its parent star - which is essentially blinding it out.
Imaging trying to gather the light reflected off a grain of sand which is sitting next to a large flashlight shining in your face.
What else can I help you with?
What object floats above earth to take pictures of planets and stars?
The object that floats above Earth to take pictures of planets and stars is a space telescope. Examples include the Hubble Space Telescope, which orbits the Earth, and the James Webb Space Telescope, which will be positioned at a Lagrange point in space. These telescopes are designed to capture high-quality images and data from space.
What does the Hubble space telescope take pictures of?
The Hubble Space Telescope takes pictures of various celestial objects in space, including stars, galaxies, nebulae, and planets in our own solar system. It has provided stunning images that have helped astronomers better understand the universe and phenomena like black holes, distant galaxies, and planetary atmospheres.
What do planets take in and what do they give off?
Plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. I think the question is about planets. Planets take in energy from the Sun (mainly in the visible part of the spectrum). Planets then give off infra red radiation.
Which planet is known as the striped planet?
Generally I'd say Jupiter, but Uranus and Venus also have the same gaseous stripes as Jupiter. Take a look at some satellite pictures of the planets and decide for yourself
What do planets sound like?
Planets radio emissions converted to audio.....take a listen
What objects in space above earth take pictures of stars and planets?
its called a satellite, a large object floats in space above earth to take pictures of stars and planets
What was the name of the first spacecraft to take pictures of planets?
spatoony
What are the uses of educational satellites?
Mostly to study other planets and to find out about our solar system. They are used to take pictures of planets as well.
How should one use a telescope?
To see planets, stars, comets and to take pictures.
What is space telescope used for?
To take pictures of space objects and observe planets and their movement.
Why can't you make pictures with a normal camera on other planets like Venus?
Because nobody is there to take it... plus, we want a more detailed image of it. Also, fpr gas giants, it would be very difficult to capture
What are satellies used for?
artificial satellites are used for scientists to study planets and take pictures and learn about space. natural satellites are just pretty much there, they rotate the planets just like our planets rotate the sun. the moon is one of earth's natural satellites.
Can you take pictures of your friends at the mall or is it illegal?
No you can take pictures

What did the voyager do in space?
Things that the Voyagers both did was take pictures of gas planets and record sounds from them planets as they orbited them. Now the Voyager 1 heads to the interstellar space while the voyager 2 does work on the outer solar system.

Are there any planets like earth?
There have been a number of extrasolar planets discovered that might resemble Earth. However, due to the extreme recency of the technology, and even the idea that Earth might not be unique, there is very limited data from the search for habitable planets. On a more theoretical note, if you take into account the trillions of known and estimated galaxies, and the trillions of stars in most galaxies, and the number of those stars that have planetary systems orbiting them, and the number of those planetary systems orbiting in the habitable zone, the number of possible Earth-like planets is really astonishing.
