Moon: Apennine Mountains - Moon: Apennine Mountains - The Apennine Mountains are a chain of mountains between the Rain Sea and the Serenite Sea. Some peaks peak at 5000m. At the top of the picture are the Aristotle and Eudox craters; at the other end of the Apennines, the Erathosthene crater, at the bottom left. The large crater in the middle left is the Archimede crater in the Rain Sea. Image obtained on October 12, 2006, on a descending moon, 2 days before the last quarter

Nebulae M20 - M8 in Sagittarius - M20 and M8 nebulas in Sagittarius - View of nebulae of the Lagoon (M8/NGC 6523), below, and Trifide (M20), above. Located in Sagittarius, these nebulae are about 5000 light years away from Earth. From a dark site, the Lagoon nebula (M8), bottom, is visible to the unaided eye as a small bright patch above the large Sagittarius star cloud in the Milky Way. Taking its name from the dark lane that runs through the center of the nebula, just to the west of open cluster NGC 6530, the Lagoon nebula is a beautiful sight in any size telescope. M20, top, is a spectacular combination of emission and reflection nebulosity, bisected by the dark nebula B85

Constellations of the Great Dog in Persee - Constellations from Canis Major to Perseus - The light of the bright Sirius (the brightest star in the sky) is scattered by the remains of an airplane train. Then looking higher and higher, we meet Orion facing the Taurus and finally Persee. September 12, 2007. The light of the bright Sirius (the brightest star in the sky) is scattered by the rest of contrails. Above are from bottom to the top Orion, facing the Taurus and Perseus. September 12 2007

Aurora australis seen from the International Space Station (ISS) on May 29, 2010. The ISS was located over the Southern Indian Ocean at an altitude of 350 km, with the astronaut observer most likely looking towards Antarctica (not visible) and the South Pole. The aurora has a sinuous ribbon shape that separates into discrete spots near the lower right corner of the image. While the dominant coloration of the aurora is green, there are faint suggestions of red photon emission as well (light fuscia tones at image center left). Dense cloud cover is dimly visible below the aurora. The curvature of the Earth's horizon, or limb, is clearly visible as is the faint blue line of the upper atmosphere directly above at image top center.

This image shows the volcanoes Ceraunius Tholus (bottom) and Uranius Tholus (top). The presence of impact crateres on these volcanoes indicates that these volcanoes are old. The crater at the top of Ceraunius Tholus is about 25 km in diameter.

It is accompanied by a cluster of stars called the Christmas tree. The bright star at the top is S Monocerotis, a star of magnitude 4.7. Image obtained with a 50 cm telescope, composite of several images. Total installation of 52 hours. The Cone Nebula (also known as NGC 2264) is an H II region in the constellation of Monoceros. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1785. The nebula is located about 800 parsecs or 2,600 light - years away from Earth. The Cone Nebula is part of the nebulosity surrounding the Christmas Tree Cluster. The designation of NGC 2264 in the New General Catalogue refers to both objects and not the nebula alone. The brightest star on top of the image is S Monocerotis. This image was created by stitching six separate photographs, featuring over 52 total hours of exposure, into a single seamless mosaic.

At this range, clouds and other features in the atmosphere as small as 1,370 km. could be detected by Voyager 2. Yet, no such features are visible. This view is toward the illuminated south pole of Uranus. The predominant blue color is the result of atmospheric methane, which absorbs the red wavelengths from incoming sunlight. The spot at the upper left edge of the planet's disk reulted from the removal of a network mark used in making measurments on the photograph.

The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is the second nearest galaxy to the Milky Way, (the LMC being the nearest) and is at the distance of about 240,000 light years, quite close enough for it to be resolved into individual stars on this colour picture made from plates taken on the UK Schmidt Telescope. The shape of the SMC defies description and it is therefore classified as an 'irregular' galaxy.

In the year 1054 AD a star in the constellation of Taurus exploded in a spectacular supernova so bright it appeared to dominate the sky except for the Sun and Moon for many days even in daylight. What we see now is the supernova remnant: a brilliant nebula, the first in the famous list compiled by Charles Messier. The nebula houses a spinning neutron star called a pulsar. The brilliant blue star is the 3rd magnitude Zeta Tauri. This image is based on data acquired by the Oschin Telescope at the Mount Palomar Observatory

Above the left of the star cluster, an old blue supergiant star, Sher 25, arrives at the end of life. The nebula NGC 3603 is located approximately 20,000 light years from Earth in the southern constellation of Carene. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. This image made by the Hubble space telescope nicely illustrates the entire stellar life cycle of stars, starting with the Bok globules (dark clouds at the upper right) and giant gaseous pillars, followed by circumstellar disks and progressing to evolved massive stars in the young starburst cluster (center). The blue supergiant star Sher 25 with its ring and bipolar outflow

Detail of the nebula NGC 3603 in the Carene - Star life cycle in NGC 3603 - In the center of the picture is a cluster of massive young stars formed from the gas surrounding them. Two pillars of gas and dust visible on the right at the top and bottom will one day form other stars, as probably the dark cloud at the top right of the image called Bok's globule.

Space exploration: Soyuz spacecraft - Artist's view - Soyuz deep space explorer - A spaceship inhabits Soyuz TMA-M increases by a housing module for three astronauts and a rocket top floor, leaving Earth's orbit for a distant space exploration mission. A manned Soyuz TMA-M spacecraft docked with a three-person extended stay module leaving Earth orbit with the aid of a Russian-made upper stage booster rocket. This view is from behind upper stage booster with the Soyuz spacecraft at the far end and the extended stay module in the middle of the assembly

Venus rise and zodiacal light - Venus rise and zodiacal light - Venus is the brilliant point above the horizon. The zodiacal light is the extended glow blade inclined to the right that extends to the lactee lane at Les Gemeaux. Higher, the Bull, the Coach, then Persee, Casiopee. At the top, the Great Galaxy of Andromede. Saint-michel-de-brasparts, Finistere, 23 September 2009. The bright dot above horizon is Venus. Zodiacal light is the pale light coming from the horizon reaching the milky way. Saint-michel-de-brasparts, Finistere, Brittany, september 23, 2009

Cratere Manicouagan -Québec- Manicouagan impact crater seen from the space station: Cratere d'impact Manicouagan, Quebec, vu depuis la station spatiale internationale (ISS) on 15/04/2016. This 100 km-diameter crater formed 212 million years ago, following the fall of an asteroid on Earth. - Manicouagan Impact Crater, Quebec, Canada is a 212 million year old impact crater, roughly 100 km in diameter. This is one of the most photographed impact craters from ISS because it is often visible at the top of the orbit. April 15 2016
