Talk:Family Portrait (Voyager)

message: The Family Portrait, or Portrait of the Planets is an image of the Solar System, created from 60 individual frames, spread over a length of six metres [...]
Why six meters? Photos are usually not measured by length, especially when they come from digital sources. --Abdull (talk) 10:15, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Pluto was not yet classified as a dwarf planet at the time these photos were taken, and yet the article makes no mention of any attempt to include it in the portrait. If anyone knows why, I think it might deserve mention in the article --Jleon (talk) 15:49, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

replies: text:  I removed the reference to Pluto as being a "dwarf planet" as that is an anachronism given that in 1990 it was considered a full planet. 70.72.215.252 (talk) 23:07, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

message: With a careful count I can see 45 separate square images.  6 of planets, 5 in the arc over the sun, 4 in the area of the sun, 5 running parallel to the Jupiter-Earth-Venus line, 6 in the line at right angles to that (ending with frame S), 10 in the arc from S to U (not including already-counted S), and 8 in the arc out to frame N.  And looking very closely int the large-resolution image I can make out 1 more almost overlapping with frame S.  Total: 45.
Can anyone explain where the other 15 frames are? Sean Martin (talk) 16:00, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose that for some targets, several frames of the same target were taken, each one using a different colored filter, as it was the case for Pale Blue Dot, for which three frames were shot. --Deeday-UK (talk) 23:25, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

message: From the phrasing, it appears that an attempt was made to get a photo of Mars, but it just wasn't visible. If this is correct, could modern (c 2014) photo enhancement techniques obtain Mars from the picture/-s taken? CFLeon (talk) 18:55, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
