I have a question arising from the recent surface images acquired by the Parker Solar Probe (but best discussed in this section, I think, if anyone has comments). Would a camera with similar specifications to WISPR but located on Earth or in Earth orbit be able in principle to image the night-side surface? It presents quite a large target when suitably placed and I imagine some sort of coronagraph arrangement could be used to exclude light from the sunlit crescent.

PS Do you have the option to use slightly larger pictures for these animations?

I'm afraid not. Those are the highest-resolution images I have. I'm definitely interested in knowing if anyone else has larger raws though.
