What the Sun looks like from the other planets

The Alpha Centauri binary system viewed from Cassini.

It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Granted some of the surface features depicted may nor be the most typical of what would be encountered on each of those bodies. Such as on airless mercury, which has been geologically dead for several billion years, it should be uncommon to find rugged rock formations exposed on the surface that has not been worn down to subdued rounded form by billions of micrometeror impacts. Picky picky.  RE: What the Sun looks like from the other planets

On the news over the last couple of days, Astronomers discover 12 new moons orbiting Jupiter....it was also said that one of Jupiter's newly discovered moons is on a collision course with other ones and that the impact would be visible from Earth, (from telescope)?
Quote:As the most massive planet in the solar system by a wide margin, Jupiter has a lot of pull in this neighborhood. With whizzing around it, it makes sense that a few have slipped under the radar, but the latest discovery is still a surprisingly large haul. Astronomers have announced the detection of 12 new moons orbiting Jupiter, including one particularly reckless "oddball." https://newatlas.com/12-new-moons-jupiter/55502/

Not a picture of the Sun, but a picture of our home taken by Voyager 1...
