Mimas, satellite of Saturn, seen by the Cassini probe on 13/02/2010 - Saturn's moon Mimas seen by Cassini spacecraft - February 13 2010 - The Mimas satellite photographed by the Cassini probe on 13 February 2010 has a distance of 50,000 km from the satellite. Mimas is about 400 km in diameter. At the right centre is the large impact crater Herschel, 130 km wide. In this view captured by Nasa's Cassini spacecraft on its closest - ever flyby of Saturn's moon Mimas, large Herschel Crater dominates Mimas, making the moon look like the Death Star in the movie “” Star Wars.”” Herschel Crater is 130 kilometers, or 80 miles, wide and covers most of the right of this image. Cassini came within about 9,500 kilometers (5,900 miles) of Mimas on Feb. 13, 2010.This mosaic was created from six images taken that day in visible light with Cassini's narrow - angle camera on Feb. 13, 2010. The images were re - projected into an orthographic map projection. This view looks toward the area between the regi

Sunrise on the crater Tycho - Tycho Crater Sunrise - Sunrise on the central peak of the crater Tycho on the Moon. This crater is about 82 km in diameter and its central peak rises at 2 km above sea level. Image obtained on June 10, 2011 by the LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) probe. On 10 June 2011 the LRO spacecraft slewed 65* to the west, allowing the LROC NACs to capture this dramatic sunrise view of Tycho crater. A very popular target with amateur astronomers, Tycho is located at 43.37* S, 348.68* E, and is ~ 82 km (51 miles) in diameter. The summit of the central peak is 2 km (6562 ft) above the crater floor, and the crater floor is about 4700 m (15,420 ft) below the rim. Many “” clasts”” ranging in size from 10 meters to 100s of meters are exposed in the central peak slopes

Apollo 8: lunar craters - Moon craters seen from Apollo 8 - View of Goclenius crateres (foreground), Colombo A and Magelhaens from the Apollo 8 module in December 1968. This oblique view of the lunar surface was taken from the Apollo 8 spacecraft looking southward toward Goclenius and other large craters near 45 degrees east longitude and 10 degrees south latitude in the Sea of Fertility. Goclenius, the crater in the foreground with a rille - broken flat floor, is about 70 kilometers (45 statute miles) in diameter. One rille, approximately horizontal in this view, crosses both crater rims and the central peak, and, on adjoining Apollo 8 photographs, can be traced several kilometers across the mare surface beyond the high crater wall. In the background, the two large craters with smooth floors are Colombo A (left) and Magelhaens. Magelhaens A, the crater with the irregular floor, is about 35 kilometers (20 statute miles) in diameter

The Formation of the Earth - Artist's View - Meteorite strike on infant Earth - The Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago from a gigantic cloud of gas and dust. These dust accreted to form our planet; it was subjected to a large bombardment of meteorites. A molten, infant Earth is impacted by an object about 10 miles in diameter, releasing 200 million times a much energy as the largest manmade explosion. While this collision appears negligible when compared to the scars of much larger encounters, a similar impact four billion years later may have resulted in the extinction of the dinosaurs. The Earth accrued the majority of its mass during the 100 million years following the formation of the Sun, a period referred to as the cosmic bombardment. During this era of frequent impacts and radioactive heating, the entire Earth remained molten long enough for the heavy metals iron and nickel to settle to the center of the Earth while lighter silicates floated to the surface. Today, over four

Megatsunami is an informal term to describe a tsunami that has initial wave heights that are much larger than normal tsunamis. Unlike usual tsunamis - which originate from tectonic activity and the raising or lowering of the sea floor - known megatsunamis have originated from a large scale landslide, collision, or volcanic eruption event

Exoplanete in formation - NGC 2547-ID8: Illustration of the collision between two asteroids in the habitable zone of the star NGC 2547-ID8. This could result in an accretion-forming rocky exoplanet. Planets, including those like our own Earth, form from epic collisions between asteroids and even bigger bodies, called proto-planets. Sometimes the colliding bodies are ground to dust, and sometimes they stick together to ultimately form larger, mature planets. This artist's conception shows one such smash-up. Spitzer's infrared vision detected a huge eruption around the star NGC 2547-ID8 between August 2012 and 2013. Scientists think the dust was kicked up by a massive collision between two large asteroids. They say the smashup took place in the star's “” terrestrial zone,””” the region around stars where rocky planets like Earth take shape. NGC 2547-ID8 is a sun-like star located about 1,200 light-years from Earth in the constellation Vela. It is about 35 million years old, the same age

LCROSS Probe - Artist View - LCROSS - Artist view - LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite) is a space probe of NASA whose aim is to discover the presence of water ice in a crater perpetually in the shade of the Sun at the southern pole of the Moon. LCROSS must analyze the impact created by the top floor of its Atlas 5 launcher precipitates in this crater. LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite) should be launched in June 2009 with Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) payload aboard an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. LCROSS will seek a definitive answer about the presence of water ice at the lunar south pole using the spent second stage Atlas Centaur rocket that will impact on the moon's surface

Tunguska Event - Artist View - Tunguska Event - Artist view - On June 30, 1908, a car, several ten meters in diameter, exploded over the Tunguska region of Siberia. 2000 km of forest and taiga were destroyed, blown by the shock wave of the car. The explosion was heard up to 1500 km. Just after seven in the morning of June 30, 1908 a huge fireball appeared over the region, and detonated as it hit the upper atmosphere. The explosion broke windows over 500 miles away. There were some herdsmen and hunters in the area at the time who were able to provide eyewitness accounts of what became known as the Tunguska Event. Many would later die from what appears to have been radiation exposure

Nuclei of the 5 cometes visited by probes - 5 Comets nucleus seen by spacecrafts - Comparison of the size of the nuclei of the five comets visited by space probes. This montage shows the only five comets imaged up close with spacecraft. The comets vary in shape and size. Comet Hartley 2 is by far the smallest and the most active of small comets. This jet activity can be seen extending from the comet's surface and into its outer shell of gas and dust, or coma. This is first time scientists have been able to link jets to the details of the surface

Precisely what the Tunguska Event was remains a mystery. Despite the enormous scale of the explosion, there was no impact crater. Instead some 2000 sq/kms of taiga forest was flattened like matchwood and incinerated. This is the scene some minutes after the explosion. Most of the forest has been blown away, the few remaining stumps are burning and the air is full of acrid smoke. June 30 190
