At the moment, external pics show up as links. Attached images show as thumbnails.

Will revise in the coming days/weeks.

I love how you can see the differences in the technology used.... the voyager pic looks so pixelated... but i bet that pic in the 1970's would of made everyone excited and in awe!...

But personally i like the galileo pic the best

I like the Near photo best, it seems sharper and more detailed.

I like vings one, as it's the only one that appears to be at scale.. the others look like they've just been plonked in the same photo.. are they real?
