The image of Pluto from New Horizons gives me similar feels. People have been fascinated by Pluto since its discovery in 1930, and only a few years ago we managed to send extremely high res photos back from a probe that took a decade to travel there.
Most of the Cassini probe images of the Saturn system are incredible. One of my favorites
Granted, I think this post about the moon takes the cake, since humans have wondered about the moon for millennia.
Man Saturn is fucking crazy. And we made a thing and sent it there.

The Venera pictures of Venus' surface give me a similar feel
Look at this shit
That's from the surface of a planet with crushing atmospheric pressure (93 times that of Earth) and a temperature of 453C (847F). It's insane
