An asteroid threatens the artist's Earth-View - Asteroid threatening the Earth - Artist vie
Tungouska event -Artist's view-2/3 - Tunguska Valley - Artist view (2/3) - On June 30, 1908 a car, several ten metres in diameter, exploded over the Tounguska 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
Earth at the end of Permian - Ring arcs over the Permian Earth - A ring of rocks and dust is orbiting the Earth. The massive continent below is Pangee and the ocean to the west is Panthalassa. This is what Earth was supposed to look like at the end of Permian, about 260 million years ago, before the first dinosaurs appeared. This ring around the Earth was of earthly origin, constitutes debris thrown into orbit by collision with a meteorite or comet. Over time, these debris have either fallen or fallen back to Earth in a meteorite rain. A dusty ring arc orbits four thousand miles above Earth's equator. The massive continent below is Pangea and the ocean to the west is Panthalassa. This is how the Earth may have appeared during the end of the Permian period, a time just prior to the appearance of the dinosaurs, when continental drift was pulling Pangea apart into the seven continents we know today. 260 million years ago the Earth may have been host to ring arcs similar to the incomplete rings that currently circumscribe the planet Neptune. Unlike Neptune's rings, the ring arcs around the Earth were of terrestrial origin, debris thrown into orbit by a collision with a large meteorite or comet. The debris consisted of tiny pebbles that were once molten droplets of ejecta, long since cooled in the vacuum of space. The orbit of the ring arc would eventually decay, returning the debris back to Earth as a shower of meteorites. This debris is found on Earth's surface today in the form of dark, glassy objects known as tektites
The probes Osiris-Rex and Hayabusa 2 - Artist's view - Osiris-rex and Hayabusa 2 - Artwork: Artist's view of the probe Osiris-Rex near the asteroid Bennu (right) and the probe Hayabusa 2 near the asteroid (162173) Ryugu (upper left). OSIRIS-REX was launched on 8 September 2016 to reach the asteroid Bennu in 2018 and bring a sample back to Earth in 2023. Hayabusa 2 is a space probe of JAXA, the Japanese space agency, launched in December 2014, which will study the asteroid (162173) Ryugu from July 2018 to February 2019 and bring a sample to Earth in December 2020. Osiris-rex will travel to a near-earth asteroid called Bennu and bring a small sample back to Earth for study. It was launched on Sep 8, 2016. As planned, the spacecraft will reach its asteroid target in 2018 and return a sample to Earth in 2023. Hayabusa2 is an asteroid sample return mission operated by the Japanese space agency, JAXA. Launched in December 2014 Hayabusa 2 is expected to arrive at the asteroid 162173 Ryugu in July 2018, survey the asteroid for a year and a half, depart in December 2019, and return to Earth in December 2020

The disappearance of dinosaurs - Artist view - Tylosaur and KT Event - Artist view - Impact of the asteroid responsible for the disappearance of dinosaurs about 65 million years ago. In the foreground, a tylosaurus, a large carnivorous marine lezard. The very end of the Mesozoic is marked by evidence of a devastating asteroid impact 65 million years ago, which is termed the KT event, referring to the Cretaceous (K) -Tertiary (T) transition. This impact likely contributed to the demise of the dinosaurs, although recent findings call into question how decisive the blow actually was. In this image, a huge tylosaur, a relative of today's varanid lizards such as the Komodo dragon, faces its last few minutes of existence in a Texas lagoon. Over the horizon looms the rising ejecta from the KT impact, which occurred in what is today the Yucatan
The disappearance of the dinosaurs - Artist view - Tertiary dawn - Artist view - Artist view of the impact of the asteroid responsible for the disappearance of dinosaurs, about 65 million years ago. A sauropod grazes peacefully in the last seconds before the impact that ended the age of dinosaurs

Asteroides threaten the Earth - Artist view - Asteroids threatening the Earth - Artist view - Title: Space Situational Awareness - Near Earth Objects Picture caption: The SSA-NEO system is based on syndicating and federating observation and tracking data provided by a large number of European and international sources. The key components include: -Observatories and astronomers with telescopes of various sizes, both professional and amateur -A central SSA-NEO data centre, the 'Small Bodies Data Centre', which uses astrometric measurements collected by the Minor Planet Center (USA) -An analysis capability to predict possible impact locations and assess dangers -Analyses related to risk mitigation, including the possible deflection of an asteroid -A system for issuing warnings and alerts to civil authorities in Europe Data on NeOS are collected from telescopes and radar systems worldwide. Each of these submit observations to the Minor Planet Center (MPC), operated by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) at Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, which acts as a central clearing house for asteroid and comet observations. The measurements collected there are retrieved by the European Small Bodies Data Centre; orbits and miss distances are computed. In case of high-risk impact predictions, the data will be cross-checked with NASA's SENTRY system, operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California, before issuing alerts
Artist's view of the asteroid 2017 YE5 - Binary Asteroid 2017 YE5 - 2017 YE5 is a binary asteroid consisting of two asteroids of same sizes orbit each other.
A ring of rocks and dust is orbiting the Earth. The massive continent below is Pangee and the ocean to the west is Panthalassa. This is what Earth was supposed to look like at the end of Permian, about 260 million years ago, before the first dinosaurs appeared. This ring around the Earth was of earthly origin, constitutes debris thrown into orbit by collision with a meteorite or comet. Over time, these debris have fallen or fallen to Earth in a meteorite rain - A dusty ring arc orbits four thousand miles above Earth's equator. The massive continent below is Pangea and the ocean to the west is Panthalassa. This is how the Earth may have appeared during the end of the Permian period, a time just prior to the appearance of the dinosaurs, when continental drift was pulling Pangea apart into the seven continents we know today - 260 million years ago the Earth may have been host to ring arcs similar to the incomplete rings that currently circumscribe the planet Neptune . Unlike Neptune's rings, the ring arcs around the Earth were of terrestrial origin, debris thrown into orbit by a collision with a large meteorite or comet. The debris consisted of tiny pebbles that were once molten droplets of ejecta, long since cooled in the vacuum of space. The orbit of the ring arc would eventually decay, returning the debris back to Earth as a shower of meteorites. This debris is found on Earth's surface today in the form of dark, glassy objects known as tektites.: La Terre à la fin du Permien - Ring arcs over the Permian Earth

Asteroide Vesta and other asteroides - Asteroid Vesta compared to other asteroids - Comparison of the sizes of the nine asteroides visits to date by space probes. The asteroid Vesta, with a diameter of 530 km, is the largest. This composite image shows the comparative sizes of nine asteroids. Up until now, Lutetia, with a diameter of 81 miles (130 kilometers), was the largest asteroid visited by a spacecraft, which occurred during a flyby. Vesta, which is also considered a protoplanet because it's a large body that almost became a planet, dwarfs all other small bodies in this image, with its diameter sizing up at approximately 330 miles (530 kilometers)

Tunguska event -Artist view-3/3 - Tunguska valley - Artist view (3/3) - Artist view of the Tungouska region a few minutes after the explosion, June 30, 1908. 2000 km of forest and taiga were destroyed, blown by the shock wave of the car. 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

The mission is scheduled to launch Sep 8, 2016. As planned, the spacecraft will reach its asteroid target in 2018 and return a sample to Earth in 2023
Tungouska event -Artist view-1/3 - Tunguska Valley - Artist view (1/3) - Reconstructed view of part of the valley of the Tungouska River before the appearance of the car. On June 30, 1908 a car, several ten meters in diameter, exploded over the Tungouska 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. This is a part of the Tunguska River valley, in central Siberia, Russia. This 3D sequence begins at dawn, 30 June, 1908. Tunguska is a desolate region, full of swamps, taiga forests and mosquitoes
Impact of an asteroid on the Yucatan - Yucatan impact - Artist view - Artist view of the impact of the asteroid that would have fallen on the Yucatan peninsula about 65 million years ago. This asteroid 10 km in diameter would be responsible for the disappearance of dinosaurs. An asteroid 5-10 miles across impacts in the Yucatan to end the age of dinosaurs 65 million years ago. A fine layer of clay, rich in the element iridium - more concentrated in meteorites than in terrestrial rocks - marks the geological boundary between the Cretaceous and Tertiary eras. This clay layer is believed to have precipitated out of a plant-blanketing cloud of dust that was ejected into the atmosphere by the impact and subsequent fires. The dust darkened and cooled the earth so much that many species became extinct

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

Shooting star rain on LAMOST telescope - China - Geminids over LAMOST telescope - China: Geminides shooting star rain above LAMOST telescope (Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fibre Spectroscopic Telescope), a 4-metre optical telescope, located on the site of the Xinglong Observatory in the Hebei region of China. December 2015. Space dust from asteroid 3200 Phaethon rained into the Earth's atmosphere, and burnt as meteors at about 100 km above Xinglong Station of National Astronomical Observatories of China, piercing the night sky over the Guoshoujing LAMOST telescope. All meteors seemed to radiate from the same point, which lies at Gemini, and that's how the meteor shower named Geminids.Over 100 meteors were captured in the composed image taken on the peak night of the 2015 Geminid meteor shower, and the brightest bolide even instantly lit up the landscape.

Artist's view of the asteroid 2060 Chiron: (2060) Chiron, also designed as 95P/Chiron, is a centaur type cometary asteroid, an ice body of 166 kilometres of diameter orbiting around the Sun between Saturn and Uranus. 2060 Chiron, also known as 95P/Chiron, is a minor planet in the outer Solar System, orbiting the Sun between Saturn and Uranus. Discovered in 1977 it was the first-identified member of a new class of objects now known as centaurs - bodies orbiting between the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt. Besides the four giant planets, Chiron and 10199 Chariklo, also a centaur, are the only other bodies in the Solar System known to have rings. Although it was initially called an asteroid and classified only as a minor planet with the designation “” 2060 Chiron””, it was later found to exhibit behavior typical of a comet. Today it is classified as both a minor planet and a comet, and is accordingly also known by the cometary designation “” 95P/Chiron””

Mine sur un asteroide - Illustration - Mining base on double asteroid 90 Antiope - Illustration - Artist view une base minere installee sur l'asteroid double 90 Antiope. Some day a it may be worthwhile to mine resources from a distant asteroid, whether for raw materials for building an orbiting structure (cheaper than rocketing the materials from Earth's surface) or for some exotic material found only on a particular asteroid. This image is a bird's eye view of a mining settlement on the double asteroid 90 Antiope, located in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. These two asteroids are about the same size - - 70 miles across - - and orbit around a common center like two ends of a barbell. The gap separating the two bodies is only about 40 miles. The extremely low surface gravity would permit the construction of delicate structures, such as the solar power array silhouetted against the sunny side of the sister asteroid, and would make it relatively easy to transport mined material off the surface

Mars and Deimos - Illustration - Mars and Deimos - Illustration - Artist's view of Deimos, the smallest of Mars's two satellites. This is how Mars and its even smaller satellite Deimos might appear from a distance of about 100 miles from the surface of Deimos. Deimos is over Acidalia Planitia, an albedo feature that has been observed by Earth - bound astronomers since the 19th century. To the southwest are the fog - filled canyons of Valles Marineris, the westernmost of which are still in darkness. Beyond Mars, immediately to the left of its night side, is Phobos at a distance of 20,000 miles. The two bright objects in the lower left are the stars Beta Gruis and Al Nair in the southern constellation Grus. Like it's larger companion Phobos, Deimos does not possess enough mass to pull itself into a sphere; its shape instead is oblong with a length of about 10 miles and only 6 miles wide at its smallest dimension. Like Phobos, Deimos may be an asteroid long ago captured by Mars' gravity. Orbiting 14,600 miles above Mars' surface, Deimos completes one revolution every 30 hours
Impact on the Moon at the Cretace - Cretaceous lunar strike - Artist's view of an asteroid impact on the Moon illuminating a nocturnal landscape of the cretace. In the foreground, a spinosaur, a theropod dinosaur who lived in what is now Egypt 95 to 93 million years ago. What may appear here as a diamond ring effect from a solar eclipse is in fact a brilliant and momentary flash of light signaling a massive asteroid impact on the Moon. The Moon and all the inner planets of the Solar System show evidence of a long and violent history of encounters with meteorites and asteroids - leftover debris from the formation of the Solar System. This image depicts an asteroid colliding with the Moon about 95 million years ago. The perspective is from the surface of the Earth in what today is Egypt. The impact would have released millions of times more energy than today's largest nuclear weapon, creating a flash of light that would be far brighter than any star in the sky. In the foreground of this image stands a wary Spinosaurus, an enormous meat-eating dinosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous period. Its typical length from tail tip to snout was 40-50 feet, and is believed to have weighed at least 8 tons or more
The Dawn probe near Ceres - Artist's view - Dawn approaches Ceres - Artist view of the Dawn probe near the dwarf planet Ceres. In February 2015 the unmanned Dawn spacecraft is scheduled to arrive at the dwarf planet Ceres. The 65 foot long, 2.5 ton probe was launched from the Earth in 2007, passed March in 2009, and went into orbit around the protoplanet Vesta in July 2011 where it stayed until September 2012. Once in orbit around Ceres, Dawn is expected to operate for about a year making observations of this largest object in the asteroid belt. In this image Dawn's three xenon electrostatic ion thrusters can be seen emitting ionized xenon's characteristic blue/magenta glow, gently propelling the probe toward Ceres. While the ion engines have relatively low specific thrust (about equal to the weight of a few sheets of paper), they can operate continuously for long periods making efficient use of the approximately 1,000 pounds of xenon propellant onboard. The wing - like solar arrays produce about 1,300 watts for probe's propulsion and other electrical systems. While no close - up observations of yet been made of Ceres itself, here it is rendered as appearing similar to a much smaller version of the Earth's Moon, heavily cratered with the addition of surface water ice and hypothesized plumes of ice crystals from water geysers on its surface

Etoile filante -Perseide - Perseid meteor - Rain d'étoiles filantes vue le 12/08/2008. Perseid meteor seem to radiate out of the same point in the constellation of Perseus in this composite exposure taken on August 12, 2008 during the Perseid Meteor Shower. The Perseids are tiny bits of dust left behind by Comet Swift-Tuttle on one of its day's through the Solar system. Although the comet is now far away, the dust left behind stays in orbit around the Sun, and sometimes the Earth passes through this dust trail, causing a meteor shower. The colors in the meteor's path come from different emissions as the meteor, speeding at 132,000 miles per hour, burns up and interacts with molecules in the upper atmosphere

Artist's view of the solar system - Artist's view of the solar system. Planets are represented in order of proximity to the sun. On the right, the terrestrial planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth (and Moon) Mars; on the left, the gas giant planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. A comet, the asteroid belt and Pluto's orbit are also represented. Our solar system features eight planets, seen in this artist's diagram. Although there is some debate within the science community as to whether Pluto should be classified as a Planet or a dwarf planet, the International Astronomical Union has decided on the term plutoid as a name for dwarf planets like Pluto. This representation is intentionally fanciful, as the planets are depicted far closer together than they really are. Similarly, the bodies' relative sizes are inaccurate. This is done for the purpose of being able to depict the solar system and still represent the bodies with some detail. (Otherwise the Sun would be a mere speck, and the planets -even the majestic Jupiter - would be far too small to be seen.
