Description: Collection of planetary and star maps.
NASA/JPL Solar System Simulator California Institute of Technology This is a database of JPL/Caltech generated planetary maps. Select your planetary system of choice! though many of these textures have been stitched together directly from multispectral images taken by NASA spacecraft, they should not be used for scientific analysis. Many of these images have blank spots where no images have been taken; some have also been enhanced and slightly altered for aesthetic appeal. For some bodies, no global maps are available at this site yet; some we just haven't explored enough to get any reasonably high resolution images (like Pluto). Maps of the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus) and Titan are merely meant to be representative; atmospheric dynamics will change the body's appearance daily.
