NASA’s Deep Space Network has for decades been helping us get closer to understanding, sending back images from across our solar system. It’s a glimpse into just how vastly different, and how strangely lovely, our neighboring yet still far-off planets are. **Read Next**: TIME _is following astronaut Scott Kelly’s yearlong mission to the International Space Station in the new series,_ [_A Year In Space_](http://time.com/space-nasa-scott-kelly-mission/)_. Watch the trailer for the series_ [_here_](http://time.com/space-nasa-scott-kelly-mission/)_._ ## Transcript >> Human beings have been sending spacecraft into the cosmos for more than half a century now and all of the sights and sounds and data have to come back someway. -[ unk ] >> Even in the vacuum of space, sound is not absent, but it's electromagnetic sound, the hiss and the crackle and the strangely musical flow that can be heard as data strikes the antenna and is translated into sound waves. The deep space network is the call center for the sights and sounds of the universe, an array of telescopes around the world with that information and specifically the breathtaking images flow back to earth. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3929290/solar-system-nasa-photos/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3929290/solar-system-nasa-photos/"},"headline":"Check Out These Beautiful NASA Photos From Across the Solar System","datePublished":"2015-06-20T13:54:58.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-01T09:08:37.396Z","description":"The Deep Space Network beams back images from space","url":"https://time.com/3929290/solar-system-nasa-photos/","keywords":["Space","NASA","Science topic","solar system"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc15c51816dff3767/698786d7428a9ef2cbcc7fad/hubble2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel D'Addario","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/daniel-daddario/"}],"articleSection":"Science","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc15c51816dff3767/698786d7428a9ef2cbcc7fad/hubble2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Saturn","caption":"Saturn","creditText":"NASA and E.
