Hydrogen Ocean on Jupiter - Jupiter's hydrogen sea: Under the clouds of Jupiter could exist an ocean of hydrogen. The pressure here is much higher than the bottom of the Earth's oceans. Liquid hydrogen is responsible for the intense magnetic field of the planet. Miles beneath Jupiter's brown clouds of ammonia, hydrogen and helium lies mysterious realm where the weight of the atmosphere above far exceeds the pressures found in Earth's deepest oceans. It is believed that in this realm, somewhere between Jupiter's cloud tops and the jovian core, the atmosphere gives way to a planet-wide ocean of liquid hydrogen

Constellations of Boob and Hunting Dogs - Constellations of Boots and Canes Venatici - The small constellation of Hunting Dogs and the constellations of Bovier and Big Bear. Canes Venatici (CVN, the Hunting Dogs) is an inconspicuous constellation introduced by Johannes Hevelius in 1690, nestling beneath the tail of Ursa Major. It represents the dogs Asterion and Chara, held on a leash by Booetes as the attack the Great Bear. The brightest star is Cor Caroli, named by Edmund Halley in memory of the king Charles I, King of England, or his son, Charles II. Booetes is also visible on the left

Lava lake on Io - Illustration - Lava lake on Io - Artist's view of a lava lake on the surface of Io, one of Jupiter's satellites. There are places on Io where molten lava has been observed actively welling up from beneath the surface of this otherwise frozen world. Lavas on Io were originally thought to be molten sulfur, but with caldera temperatures far exceeding 1,000o F - - too hot for liquid sulfur - - these eruptions are now thought to be primarily molten silicate rocks. In this image a dormant volcanic caldera re - awakens with a surge of new lava that breaks up and melts a frozen crust. A gibbous Jupiter hangs over the horizon

Futuristic advertising poster for tourism on Europe - Illustration - Futuristic Advert for tourism on Europa - Illustration: Advertising promoting tourism on Europe, one of Jupiter's satellites. Under its icy surface, Europe is thought to be home to an ocean of salted liquid water. Astonishing geology and the potential to host the conditions for simple life make Jupiter's moon Europa a fascinating destination for future exploration. Beneath its icy surface, Europa is believed to conceal a global ocean of salty liquid water twice the volume of Earth's oceans. Tugging and flexing from Jupiter's gravity generates enough heat to keep the ocean from freezing. On Earth, wherever we find water, we find life.

Aegean Sea from Space - Aegean Sea from Space - The Aegean Sea, with Greece, Cyclades, Crete and Turkey, seen from the International Space Station (ISS) in March 2010. Crete (foreground), the Cyclades Islands, Greece and Turkey lie along the margin of the Eurasian and African tectonic plates; Africa is moving northward and being driven down beneath Eurasia. As a result volcanic islands, such as Santorini, develop and fault - bounded basin such, as the Gulf of Corinth, are formed. In addition, lavas and sediments that were originally deposited on the Mediterranean seafloor are uplifted and deformed. Image taken from the International Space Station (ISS) in March 2010

Carbonifere Drill - Conifers and Cordaitales - Artist's view of a drill 300 million years ago populated with coniferes in different states of maturation (foreground), and cordaitales accompanied by adult coniferes in the background. Late Carboniferous conifers make an appearance 300 million years ago in what is today southeastern Illinois. Fossil evidence suggests that these early conifers resembled today's Norfolk Island Pine. In this image the foreground trees illustrate three different stages of conifer growth, while in the (foggy) background are mature conifers along with towering Cordaitales. The middle foreground conifer is about 30 feet tall. The undergrowth beneath the trees represents different varieties of fern

Neptune - Illustration - Neptune's Great Dark Spot - Illustration - Artist's view of Neptune with its ring system and large dark spot observed by the Voyager 2 probe in 1989. This is how Neptune's Great Dark Spot and rings may have looked in 1989 from a position just beneath Neptune's ring plane. The outermost Adams ring is near the top of the frame, and beneath that is the much broader and diffuse Lassell ring. Further in toward Neptune and abutting the Lassell ring is the thin Le Verrier ring, and beyond that is the diffuse Galle ring. The Great Dark Spot is believed to be a storm similar to, but only half the size of, Jupiter's Great Red Spot. While Jupiter's Great Red Spot has been raging for at least 400 years, subsequent observations of Neptune's Great Dark Spot in 1994 by the Hubble Space Telescope revealed that this storm has since disappeared. The Great Dark Spot was a very dynamic weather system, generating massive, white clouds similar to high - altitude cirrus clouds on Ear

Jupiter - Illustration - Jupiter is surrounded by a system of very dark rings composed of dust removed from some of its satellites. This system consists of a main ring, located between the Metis and Adrastee satellites, then rings very held in the orbits of the Amalthee and Thebe satellites. This is how Jupiter might look from a position in space just beneath the plane of Jupiter's Main ring. Jupiter's Main ring is believed to be composed of dust and debris from meteoroid impacts with Jupiter's tiny innermost satellites Metis and Adrastea. Jupiter hosts two other broader and more diffuse rings (too faint to be rendered here) which are believed to be generated and replenished by meteoroid impacts on the tiny satellites Thebe and Amalthea

Einiosaurus - The Einiosaurs were herbivorous dinosaurs of the cretace, of the same family as the triceratops. A herd of plant-eating Einiosaurus roam the plains in what is today the Two Medicine Formation in northwestern Montana. In the distance a long-dormant volcano signals its return to activity by cauterizing snowcover into great clouds of steam. Within weeks the volcano will bury this scene beneath a massive ash fall, preserving the remains of the flora a fauna for future exhumation and examination by Homo sapiens 75 million years later. Einiosaurus was from the same family as the better known Triceratops. These dinosaurs were about 20 feet long, 6 feet tall at the hips and weighed about 2 tons

Stars - The view to the north from Siding Spring - Photographic pose of several hours made in Australia; the northern Celestial pole is here 30 degrees below the horizon. As the Earth rotates beneath them the stars appear to drift across the sky from east to west. From a dark site, a camera with its shutter left open will record the apparent movement of the stars. This is the view from Siding Spring Mountain, the site of the telescopes of Anglo - Australian Observatory. It is located about 30 degrees south of the equator, so the north celestial pole is 30 degrees below the northern horizon. Behind the camera the south celestial pole is about 30 degrees above the horizon

Compared to the Earth, Titan is very far from the Sun's warming rays - - about ten times further - - and this leaves Titan a very cold world. Titan has an average surface temperature of minus 290o F. If there is any water on Titan it is frozen hard as steel, yet Titan may be the only body in the Solar System besides the Earth that harbors a liquid ocean. Titan's ocean would not be one of water, rather it would probably be composed of (very cold) liquid ethane. (On the Earth we know ethane as a colorless, odorless, nontoxic, flammable gas, a constituent of natural gas and petroleum.) If this werenn't exotic enough, immediately beneath this ocean may lie hundreds of feet of frozen acetylene (a common component of welder's torches)

The New Horizons probe - The New Horizons spacecraft - The New Horizons probe at Nasa's Kennedy Space Center in September 2005. The New Horizons probe was launched on 19 January 2006 to Jupiter, then Pluto and Charon, which it reached in 2015 and Kuiper's objects in 2020. At NASA Kennedy Space Center's Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility, technicians from the Applied Physics Laboratory work on the New Horizons spacecraft. They have been installing side panels on the spacecraft. A series of interconnecting panels will enclose the spacecraft beneath the antenna to maintain safe operating temperatures in space. New Horizons will make the first recognition of Pluto and Charon - a “double planet”” and the last planet in our solar system to be visited by spacecraft. The mission will then visit one or more objects in the Kuiper Belt region beyond Neptune. New Horizons is scheduled to launch in January 2006, swing past Jupiter for a gravity boost and scientific studies in February or March 20

Ice covers the surface of this Jupiter satellite; it is believed that under the tens of km thick of this ice, water in the liquid state could exist. A remote - controlled submersible probe pokes around beneath the icy mantle of Europa. The probe is designed to fit down a narrow hole, with the lights mounted on deployable rods, and small motorized wheels mounted on the fairings (hard to see here). Antennae trail behind. Power and warmth are provided by a SNAP generator near the rear. Stereo cameras are in front. Water intakes for chemical analysis are behind the front fairing. Attitude control is provided by small thrusters. Main propulsion comes from a small propellor equipped with a Kort nozzle. The oceans of Europa and the other Galilean moons could prove to be the most surprising environments in the solar system

Also like Uranus, Neptune has charcoal - colored rings, although they appear to be fewer in number than Uranus's. While Neptune's diameter is slightly less than Uranus ', it has more mass. Neptune's blue color is due to the presence of methane in its upper atmosphere.

Desert of Libya seen by Envisat 11 - 2004 - Libyan dunes fields seen by Envisat. - The desert of Libya observed by ENVISAT satellite on November 24, 2004. The image covers an area 672 km wide and shows the two huge dune fields located south-west of Libya in the Fezzan Desert. At the top of the picture, the Ubari erg (or Awbari) appears reddish. In the middle, Murzuk erg. This Envisat image shows two huge sand dune seas in the Fezzan region of southwestern Libya, close to the border with Algeria. Most of the face of the Sahara desert stretching across Northern Africa is bare stone and pebbles rather than sand dunes, but there are exceptions - sprawling seas of multi - storey sand dunes known as 'ergs'. The Erg Ubari (also called Awbari) is the reddish sand sea towards the top of the image. A dark outcrop of Nubian sandstone separates the Erg Ubari sand from the Erg Murzuq (also called Murzuk) further south.

Young stars in Rho Ophiuchi - Young stars in Rho Ophiuchi - Image of the central part of Rho Ophiuchi obtained in infrared by the Spitzer space telescope. Rho Ophiuchi is a vast dark cloud of molecular hydrogen located 407 years - light from Earth in the constellations of Ophiuchus and Scorpio. More than 300 young stars aged only 300,000 years have been observed. On this picture in false colors highlighting the temperature differences present in this cloud, the younger stars appear in red, the more evolute stars in blue. Newborn stars peek out from beneath their natal blanket of dust in this dynamic image of the Rho Ophiuchi dark cloud from Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope. Called “” Rho Oph””” by astronomers, it's one of the closest star - forming regions to our own solar system. Located near the constellations Scorpius and Ophiuchus, the nebula is about 407 light years away from Earth. Rho Oph is a complex made up of a large main cloud of molecular hydrogen, a key molecule allowing new

Astronauts on Titan - Illustration - First steps on Titan - Astronauts explore Titan's surface. Perhaps some day in the far future humans will set foot on Saturn's mysterious moon Titan, one of the most interesting worlds in the Solar System. Larger than the planet Mercury, Earth's moon, and the dwarf planet Pluto, and second only in size to Jupiter's satellite Ganymede, Titan is the only known extraterrestrial world with a dense atmosphere that realistically could be visited by humans. A visit to Titan would require a space journey of a year or more and traverse over 700 million miles. Beneath Titan's 350 miles of atmosphere, intrepid explorers would likely find a dark, forbidding landscape of rock, ice, and possibly tarry layers of hydrocarbons and lakes of liquid ethane and/or methane (AKA natural gas). The Surface temperature would be around minus 300* F, cold enough to freeze exposed human tissue within seconds. There would be no oxygen to breathe, and any water to be found would
