Starts about halfway down, lots of nice pictures and great info.
But when we see pictures like that, aren't they actually computer enhanced? I mean, our eyes wouldn't see those images in those colours because the radiation would be out of our optical range, wouldn't it? Lots of those images would actually be invisible to us, so they are more like renditions.
