Apollo 13: Control Room - View of Mission Control Center during the Apollo 13 problem - View of the control room as a group of astronauts and controllers guide the crew of Apollo 13 trying to return to Earth after the explosion of an oxygen tank. 14/04/1970. A group of eight astronauts and flight controllers monitor the console activity in the Mission Operations Control Room of the Mission Control Center during the Apollo 13 lunar landing mission. Seated, left to right, are MOCR Guidance Officer Raymond F. Teague; Astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell, and Astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr., Standing, left to right, are Scientist - Astronaut Anthony W. England; Astronaut Joe H. Engle; Astronaut Eugene A. Cernan; Astronaut Ronald E. Evans; and M.P. Frank, a flight controller. When this picture was made, the Apollo 13 moon landing had already been cancelled, and the Apollo 13 crewmen were in transearth trajectory attempting to bring their crippled spacecraft back home. 14 April 1970

Rosette nebula (NGC 2237) in the Unicorn - The Rosette nebula in Monoceros - The Rosette nebula is a vast cloud of dust and gas. In its center, the cluster of stars NGC 2244. Image obtained by the Oschin telescope of Mount Palomar through several filters and composed. The north is at top. Discovered by John Flamsteed about 1690, the Rosetta Nebula is a vast cloud of dust and gas, extending over an area of more than 1 degree across, or about 5 times the area covered by the full moon. Within the nebula, open star cluster NGC 2244 is situated, consisted of the young stars which recently formed from the nebula's material, and the brightest of which make the nebula shine by exciting its atoms to emit radiation. Star formation is still in progress in this vast cloud of interstellar matter. Although various values for its distance occur in the literature, an avarage value of about 5,500 light - years is generally accepted. This image is based on data acquired by the Oschin Telescope at the Mo

Centaur Omega globular cluster - NGC 5139 Omega Centauri globular cluster - Located 17,000 years ago - light from Earth in the southern constellation of Centaur, Omega Centaur contains several million stars and is one of the older objects in our galaxy. The globular cluster Omega Centauri - - with as many as ten million stars - - is seen in all its splendour in this image captured with the WFI camera from Eso's La Silla Observatory. The image shows only the central part of the cluster - - about the size of the full moon on the sky (half a degree). North is up, East is to the left. This colour image is a composite of B, V and I filtered images. Note that because WFI is equipped with a mosaic detector, there are two small gaps in the image which were filled with lower quality data from the Digitized Sky Survey. Containing millions of stars, this globular cluster is located roughly 17,000 light - years from Earth in the constellation of Centaurus. Omega Centauri is about 150 light - years

Leo 1 dwarf galaxy in the Lion - Leo 1 dwarf galaxy - Leo 1 is located about 900,000 light years from Earth. It belongs to the local group, just like our galaxy or Andromede galaxy. It has only been known since the 1950s; it is difficult to observe due to the proximity of the Regulus star, thousands of times brighter. Image obtained from the 3.9m telescope of Siding Spring. The 'Local Group' of galaxies, to which the Milky Way belongs, contains more dwarf galaxies than any other type. The low surface brightness and lack of bright stars makes them difficult to study, even with a large telescope. Leo I presents particular problems because the galaxy appears only 20 arc minutes (less than the apparent diameter of the Moon) from the brilliant star Regulus and special precautions had to be taken to prevent scattered light from the star obliterating its feeble image. The plates from which this picture was made (the first in colour of a dwarf elliptical galaxy) will be used to learn more abou

Illustration of a triple system of asteroids - Triple system of asteroids -Artwork - Artist's view of two small asteroids (Romulus and Remus) orbiting asteroid 87 Sylvia. Sylvia is about 380 km long and is one of the largest members of the asteroid belt. Two small asteroids are orbiting a larger one known since 1866 as 87 Sylvia. Sylvia is measuring 380 x 260 x 230 km; its moons are considerably smaller, orbiting in nearly circular orbits and in the same plane and direction. The closest and newly discovered moonlet, orbiting about 710 km from Sylvia, is Remus, a body only 7 km across and circling Sylvia every 33 hours. The second, Romulus, orbits at about 1360 km in 87.6 hours and measures about 18 km across. The asteroid 87 Sylvia is one of the largest known from the asteroid main belt, and is located about 3.5 times further away from the Sun than the Earth, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter

Spiral galaxy NGC 300 in the Sculptor - Galaxy NGC 300 in Sculptor - Located about 7 million years ago - light from Earth, the spiral galaxy NGC 300 belongs to the Sculptor's group. It appears to us as a great object in the sky since its apparent diameter is almost that of the full moon. This photo made by the Hubble space telesope in 2002 shows the central part of the galaxy and reveals myriad stars. NGC 300 is a spiral galaxy similar to our own Milky Way galaxy. It is a member of a nearby group of galaxies known as the Sculptor group, named for the southern constellation where the group can be found. The distance to NGC 300 is 6.5 million light - years, making it one of the Milky Way's closer neighbors. At this distance, only the brightest stars can be picked out from ground - based images. With a resolution some 10 times better than ground - based telescopes, Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) resolves many more stars in this galaxy than can be detected from the ground

Coronation Review. Since its Maiden flight last Christmas Eve it has been carrying out an exhaustive test-flying programme and was airborne no less than six times in one day recently. The Victor was ordered in quantity from the drawing-board and is now in super-priority production for R.A.F. Bomber Command. Its revolutionary crescent wing enables it to cruise at high altitude with near-sonic speed. It flies so fast that it is protected by the sound-barrier; conditions near the speed of sound render attacking fighters ineffective. The Victor is the outstanding example of the modern concept of a bomber as a rapier - an atomically hard-hitting and accurate weapon able to paralyse an enemy's nerve-centres and yet, by outstanding performance, avoid intercepti

Image obtained by the HIRISE camera of the Mars Reconnaissance probe orbiter on 1 September 2008. HIRISE is a 50 cm telescope that observes visible and near infrared. This dune field formed near the base of the North Polar cap. Dunes require a source of loose particulate material to form. The source of the northern dune fields around the polar cap may be from the layers of dusty ice that are eroded by strong polar winds. This image was taken during the Martian northern summer, so there is no frost present on the dunes. The dunes closest to the base of the polar cap are long and parallel, indicating strong winds from the direction of the cap. As they get farther away from the polar cap, they start to form more crescent shaped dunes, called barchan dunes. Repeated observations by HiRise of dunes like these show measurable changes in some locations. This discovery adds to t

Stars on the SIRENE Observatory - Star trails above the amateur observatory SIRENE - France - Several decades of military presence have limited urban settlements and thus light pollution on the Albion plateau. This photographic pose of over an hour, showing the rotation of the stars of the constellations of Cassiopee and Persee above the domes of the SIRENE observatory, testifying to the absence of genant halos of light. As far as the horizon is concerned, one can even guess a few peaks of the Alps, which glow slightly under the light of a gibbous Moon.

The Rosette nebula in Monoceros - The Rosette nebula in Monoceros - The Rosette nebula is a vast cloud of dust and gas situated about 5500 years from the Earth. In the center of the nebula, a cluster of blue stars, NGC 2244, formed less than a million years ago. The Rosetta Nebula is a vast cloud of dust and gas, extending over an area of more than 1 degree across, or about 5 times the area covered by the full moon. Its parts have been assigned different NGC numbers: 2237, 2238, 2239, and 2246. Within the nebula, open star cluster NGC 2244 is situated, consisted of the young stars which recently formed from the nebula's material, and the brightest of which make the nebula shine by exciting its atoms to emit radiation. This composite mosaic (Hybrid Image) was assembled from multiple frames taken at different focal lengths with different instruments. The image data included approximately 9 hours of hydrogen alpha filtered data and was acquired using an AP155 (F7), FSQ 106 (F5), STL11000.

Centaur Omega globular cluster - NGC 5139, Omega Centauri globular cluster - Visible to the naked eye in the southern hemisphere, Centaurus Omega is the most massive globular cluster in the galaxy. About 17,000 light years ago, millions of stars nearly 12 billion years old are concentrated here. This image obtained by the ACS camera of the Hubble space telescope and observations made by the southern Gemini telescope seem to indicate the presence of a black hole in the center of the cluster. NGC 5139 is the largest and most spectacular globular cluster in the entire night sky, and the largest in our galaxy. At 36 arc minutes, Omega Centauri is larger than the full moon in apparent size. It is located about 17,000 light years away from our Sun and at 4th magnitude, is easily visible without a telescope as a “” star”” in the constellation of Centaurus. It contains about 2 million stars, almost twice as many as M13. This composite image obtained with the Advanced Camera for Surveys onboard

At least seven exoplanets the size of the Earth orbit this star. Some 40 light-years from Earth, a planet called Trappist-1e offers a heart-stopping view: brilliant objects in a red sky, looming like larger and smaller versions of our own moon. But these are no moons. They are Earth-sized planets in a spectacular planetary system outside our own. These seven rocky worlds huddle around their small, dim, red star, like a family around a campfire.

The Umbrella Galaxy (NGC 4651 or Arp 189) exhibits a jet like spear that's strikingly coherent and narrow. The structure was previously reported by Boris Vorontsov Velyaminov in 1959 but never interpreted as a stellar tidal stream. This deep image additionally shows a spectacular crescent shaped shell surrounding the east side of the star system that corresponds to the apocenter of the dwarf galaxy. Interestingly, a possible second arc on the western side of the galaxy can also be seen in this image. This feature is less obvious because it's partially hidden by the galaxy's disk and suggests we are observing a moderately inclined structure projected into the halo of NGC 4651.

About four times smaller (in radius) than our Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), it is much larger than the many of the local dwarf spheroidal galaxies. M33's proximity to M31 causes it to be thought by some to be a satellite galaxy of this more massive galaxy.
