The sharpest image ever taken of Venus.
From the Japanese spacecraft Akatsuki.
The dark side shines in the infrared, which is how this photo was taken.

Imagine being immortal (no other powers) and falling into that
Knowing you'll never get out
I'm immortal. I'll get out when the planet falls apart in an eon or 5.
Lacking the power of patience you went mad, to the point of not even realizing the planet fell apart. You continue to feel trapped.
If I can't even patiently wait for an age to pass, I'm no immortal. I'd just be an ape that Death forgot to take.
One of the best Reddit posts even was on falling through the atmosphere of Jupiter in this fashion.
Both witty and informative.
