It's easy with 3D softwares to simulate fantastic universe and spacecrafts views
Artist's conception -- no big deal.
Say, we could use your help with this thread! We are struggling for an explanation and no doubt your expertise would be invaluable.

Artist's conception? No, it's a Hubble's image, obviously faked.
This image debunked as genuine and part of a montage here including methodology of capture.

It's just a damned nifty pic. Thanks for sharing it with us 4-b.

The Hubble Space Telescope's latest image of the star V838 Monocerotis (V838 Mon) reveals dramatic changes in the illumination of surrounding dusty cloud structures. The effect, called a light echo, has been unveiling never-before-seen dust patterns ever since the star suddenly brightened for several weeks in early 2002.
The illumination of interstellar dust comes from the red supergiant star at the middle of the image, which gave off a pulse of light three years ago, somewhat similar to setting off a flashbulb in a darkened room. The dust surrounding V838 Mon may have been ejected from the star during a previous explosion, similar to the 2002 event.
The echoing of light through space is similar to the echoing of sound through air. As light from the stellar explosion continues to propagate outwards, different parts of the surrounding dust are illuminated, just as a sound echo bounces off of objects near the source, and later, objects further from the source. Eventually, when light from the back side of the nebula begins to arrive, the light echo will give the illusion of contracting, and finally it will disappear.
V838 Mon is located about 20,000 light-years away from Earth in the direction of the constellation Monoceros, placing the star at the outer edge of our Milky Way galaxy. The Hubble telescope has imaged V838 Mon and its light echo several times since the star's outburst. Each time Hubble observes the event, different thin sections of the dust are seen as the pulse of illumination continues to expand away from the star at the speed of light, producing a constantly changing appearance. During the outburst event whose light reached Earth in 2002, the normally faint star suddenly brightened, becoming 600,000 times more luminous than our Sun.
The new image of V838 Mon, taken in October 2004 with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys, was prepared from images obtained through filters that isolate blue, green, and infrared light. These images have been combined to produce a full-color picture that approximates the true colors of the light echo and the very red star near the center.
These are only mountains of shit

Do you really believe the rover and the bug pics are represented as being taken by Hubble? If so, you need to find a new dealer; your current one is selling you baaaad shit!
Artist's conceptions are done all the time by folks as diverse as scientists, manufactures, engineers, and even floral display designers. They are not meant to fool anyone, merely inform and often, entertain.
Again, no biggie.
I thought the bug pic was really cool! I'm using it as wallpaper on my screen. Thanks!

What are you saying? What has the bug to do with Hubble?

Hey, I got it off your link.
What the hell are you talking about? Go back to the link and read the credits below the photo. This was made up by a photographer in Quebec, and it briefly describes the method. This isn't any sort of a NASA design.
Are you going to take my advice concerning your dealer?

It's a composit. Rather nicely done too, I'd say. 
Erm..., I must ask, although I fear the answer: what exactly, is this in aid of?
Yes, and when are you going to make up your mind as to who you are? I'm a simple bumpkin from out in the sticks, and you are confusing me.
