Some of the Planets are Wrong
They appear to be using an image of Mars for both Mercury and Uranus. Under the image labelled Mercury you can clearly see the Valles Marineris, a very large and distinctive feature of the planet Mars (beyond the fact that the two planets look nothing like each other). The image for Uranus I am less certain about (less certain it is Mars, fairly certain it is not Uranus), but it looks like a "blue-tinted" version of Mars with what I believe is a surface feature on Mars known as Noctis Labyrinthus. They're not using an image of Venus that would appear in your telescope, but a special cloud piercing version of the surface and I suppose that's okay. At least the Earth is the Earth, even though it doesn't appear to be a satellite or NASA image - frankly, it looks artificial. Two stars for getting most of the solar system right and some of the images are quite nice, Jupiter in particular. I wouldn't call it "educational" though, at least, not in the way they intended.
