Tethys and Titan, Saturn satellites - Tethys and Titan - The Tethys satellite passes behind the Titan satellite. These images were taken 18 minutes apart (the first image taken is on the right) by the Cassini probe on 26 November 2009 at a distance of 1 million km from Titan and 2.2 million km from Tethys. Saturn's moon Tethys with its prominent Odysseus Crater silently slips behind Saturn's largest moon Titan and then emerges on the other side. Tethys is not actually enshrouded in Titan's atmosphere. Tethys (1,062 kilometers, or 660 miles across) is more than twice as far from Cassini than Titan (5,150 kilometers, or 3,200 miles across) in this sequence. Tethys is 2.2 million kilometers (1.4 million miles) from Cassini. Titan is about 1 million kilometers (621,000 miles) away. These two color views were captured about 18 minutes apart, with the view on the right taking place first. These images are part of a mutual event sequence in which one moon passes close to or in front of anothe

Aral Sea view from 1977 to 2006 - Aral sea 1977 to 2006 - The Aral Sea observed by Landsat satellites from 1977 to 2006. In 30 years, 60% of this lake has disappeared. Left, June 4, 1977, middle, September 17, 1989, right, May 27, 2006. The Aral Sea on June 4, 1977, Sept. 17, 1989, and May 27, 2006. The Aral Sea lies between Uzbekistan (to the south) and Kazakhstan (to the north). Once the fourth largest lake in the world, the Aral Sea is now less than half of its original size. The Aral Sea is a terminal, or endorheic, sea (meaning no water flows out of it). It is fed by the Syr Darya and the Amu Darya Rivers, but Soviet river diversions for irrigation made over 40 years ago have starved the Aral Sea of water. In 2001, the World Bank funded the construction of an 8 - mile dam to separate the North and South Aral, and thus save the smaller and less polluted North Aral Sea. The North Aral has been growing since completion of the Kok - Aral Dam in the summer of 2005. Repairs and updates

The Aral Sea lies between Uzbekistan (to the south) and Kazakhstan (to the north). Once the fourth largest lake in the world, the Aral Sea is now less than half of its original size. The Aral Sea is a terminal, or endorheic, sea (meaning no water flows out of it). It is fed by the Syr Darya and the Amu Darya Rivers, but Soviet river diversions for irrigation made over 40 years ago have starved the Aral Sea of water. In 2001, the World Bank funded the construction of an 8 - mile dam to separate the North and South Aral, and thus save the smaller and less polluted North Aral Sea. The North Aral has been growing since completion of the Kok - Aral Dam in the summer of 2005. Repairs and updates

China - Yellow River Delta 1989 - China - Yellow River delta in 1989 - The Huang He is the second longest river in China and the most sediments-loaded river in the world. On his journey from Tibet, he erodes more than a million tons of sediments every year and takes on alluvial or his nickname the Yellow River. It flows into the Yellow Sea, via the Gulf of Bohai, where its delta extends over 36,000 km. Image obtained by the Landsat 5 satellite in 1989. China's Huang He (Yellow River) is the most sediment - filled river on Earth. In the lower reaches, where the current slows, the natural accumulation of sediment in the riverbed has caused the river to change course often in the past. Since the mid-nineteenth century, however, the lower reaches of the river and the delta have been extensively engineered to control flooding and to protect coastal development. This natural - color image from Nasa's Landsat 5 satellite shows the Yellow River Delta at the river mouth in 1989. In 1989, the ri

This mosaic of Saturn's moon Enceladus provides broad regional context for the ultra - sharp, close - up views Nasa's Cassini spacecraft acquired minutes earlier, during its flyby on Aug. 11, 2008. This false - color mosaic combines Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) narrow - angle camera images obtained through ultraviolet, green, and near - infrared camera filters. Areas that are greenish in appearance are believed to represent deposits of coarser grained ice and solid boulders that are too small to be seen at this scale, but which are visible in the higher resolution views, while whitish deposits represent finer grained ice.

This digital photograph taken through the windows of the International Space Station on May 15, 2002, shows condensation trails over the Rhone Valley. Condensation trails - - or contrails - - are straight lines of ice crystals that form in the wake of jet liners where air temperatures at altitude are lower than about - 40* C. Newer contrails are thin whereas older trails have widened with time as a result of light winds. Because of this tendency for thin contrails to cover greater areas with time, it is estimated that these artificial clouds”” cover 0.1% of the planet's surface. Percentages are far higher in some places such as southern California, the Ohio River Valley and parts of Europe, as illustrated here.

Europe - Jupiter Satellite - View of the surface of the Europe satellite obtained from images made by the Galileo probe in 1995 and 1998. Jupiter's icy moon Europa looms large in this newly - reprocessed color view, made from images taken by Nasa's Galileo spacecraft in the late 1990s. This is the color view of Europa from Galileo that shows the largest portion of the moon's surface at the highest resolution. To create this new version, the images were assembled into a realistic color view of the surface that approximates how Europa would appear to the human eye. The scene shows the stunning diversity of Europa's surface geology. Long, linear cracks and ridges crisscross the surface, interrupted by regions of disrupted terrain where the surface ice crust has been broken up and re - frozen into new patterns. Color variations across the surface are associated with differences in geologic feature type and location. For example, areas that appear blue or white contain relatively pure water

It's a crater caused by the impact of a meteorite that fell about 1.4 million years ago. Visible to the left of the image, this almost perfectly circular impact crater measures about 3.4 km in diameter and houses a lake 260 metres deep. Image obtained by Landsat-7 satellite on 17 August 2002. Nasa's Landsat 7 satellite captured this image of Pingualuit Crater (a meteorite crater produced from an impact roughly 1.4 million years ago) on August 17, 2002. In this image, water appears blue, and land appears in varying shades of beige. The high latitude of the area limits vegetation, so thick, lush forests do not flourish in this region. With a diameter of 3.44 kilometers (2.14 miles), Pingualuit Crater holds a lake about 267 meters (876 feet) deep. The crater is the blue circle visible in the left part

Less than half the size of the Earth's moon, ice - covered Iapetus is one of the few places in the Solar System that offers a good view of Saturn's rings. This is because Iapetus' orbit is inclined almost 15 degrees to Saturn's equator. With the exception of Phoebe, none of Saturn's other satellites offer such a vantage point. Unlike haze - shrouded Titan, Iapetus has no atmosphere to speak of and is believed to be composed almost entirely of water ice
