Using pics from google images and websites with pics of boxes i.e. Brickset esp. and instruction books I was able to come up with a collection of the lego background art to try to identify the planets that the classic space explorers were looking for...
FIRST TYPE:NON DESCRIPT PLAIN PLANETS
These might have been simple moons?..I dont think Darth Vader had built the death star yet??:)
THE SECOND PLANETS:EARTH LIKE WITH WATER AND VEGETATION
I notice that in particular there is a black/yellow/black patch on the surface noted on 6921 6847 6823 and 6711. All the pics were from Brickset or screenshots with the site from google images and thank you to the people that took these
Still mad I paid a fortune for this without box or instructions not realizing the surface explorer and Star Fleet Voyager? Make this set at 1/2 the cost...maybe that's my red face when I realized...also had it imported from canada..dumb
Addendum 7-3-20...another new planet...may be nondescript or vegetative
FINALLY, THE JUPITER LIKE PLANET WITH A SEVERE STORM EYE ON SURFACE
926, 918, 6892, 6841 have a clear black line area and red stripe appearance so I'm pretty sure they're the same
6930 and 483 may or may not be the same planet or just a different angle
483 has a storm surface spot which I find interesting...I saw a tv show about the JUPITER storm that is similar and just to finish this blog am attaching amazing info here thanks to wikipedia...
No wonder it took a galaxy explorer to discover the vast amount of lego planets...
"If I see further than those who came before me, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants who came before me"
Same for building with lego and using internet for lego idea sharing
Oh, an addendum 7/3/2020...new poc of sun....lego spacemen women need to share this with NASA....2500 degrees F and carbon shield 4.5inches to protect camera!!! (From Fox website 712020)
