Web Pages
SolarSystemScope
In this web page you can download any solar system surface photograph. You can choose from the Sun to Pluto. When you are going to download, you can choose 2k or 8k resolution, if you are going to make a lamp with a diameter below 14cm, download the 2k resolution version.

Remove.bg
I used this page because it's very simple to remove the background of your photo.
You just upload the photo and the page will automatically remove your photo background. You can retouch it before downloading.
Another webpage suggested by @user_1778118514 is https://airbrush.com/object-remover for removing unwanted objects. Thanks for the input!
Befunky
I've used this image editor to combine both images (your photo and the texture). You can also use any program, for example Pixlr (another web), Photoshop, Photopea (Photoshop in a web version)... Any

Lithophane Sphere Maker
In this web you just have to upload the edited image and you have to set up the .stl model. Before downloading you must provide an email.

Several people have reported that they are unable to download the STL file. If this is your case, try using a VPN configured to be in Spain; this should resolve the issue.
