Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and Philae - Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko nucleus with Philae: Detail of the surface of the nucleus of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko as seen on September 2, 2016 by the Rosetta probe. The Philae lander appears pose on the comet - Rosetta's lander Philae has been identified in OSIRIS narrow-angle camera images taken on 2 September 2016 from a distance of 2.7 km. The image scale is about 5 cm/pixel - Philae's 1 m-wide body and two of its three legs can be seen extended from the body. The images also provide proof of Philae's orientation - A Rosetta Navigation Camera image taken on 16 April 2015 is shown at top right for context, with the approximate location of Philae on the small lobe of Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko marked

Eagle Nebula (IC 4703) and M16 star cluster in the Snake - Eagle nebula in Serpens - The Eagle Nebula is a cluster of massive young stars (M16) surrounded by clouds of gas and dust. The three columns in the center of the image were sculpted by the intense radiation emitted by these massive stars. Stars will be born in these clouds if they survive the intense radiation that erodes these pillars. Image obtained by the 2,2m MPG/ESO telescope of the La Silla Observatory. Located in the constellation of Serpens, the Serpent, the Eagle Nebula is a very luminous open cluster of stars surrounded by dust and gas. The three pillars near the center of the image, made famous in an image by the Hubble Space Telescope, are being sculpted by the intense radiation from the hot stars in the cluster. This example is about 6000 - 7000 light years distant. Three - colour composite mosaic image based on images obtained with the Wide - Field Imager camera on the MPG/ESO 2.2 - metre telescope at the La Silla

The Phoenix probe on its landing site - Phoenix landing site - Mosaic of polar projection images showing the Phoenix probe placed on Martian soil. The black circle corresponds to the position of the probe camera. The hundreds of clicks needed to make this image were taken between June 5 and July 12, 2008. Phoenix landed on a vast plain north of Mars, in the Vastitas Borealis region. This view is a polar projection that combines more than 500 exposures taken by the Surface Stereo Imager camera on Nasa's Mars Phoenix Lander and projects them as if looking down from above. The black circle on the spacecraft is where the camera itself is mounted on the lander, out of view in images taken by the camera. North is toward the top of the image. The lander's meteorology mast extends above the southwest horzon and is topped by the telltale wind gauge. The ground surface around the lander has polygonal patterning similar to patterns in permafrost areas on Earth. The landing site is at 68.22 degree

Saturn seen by the Cassini probe 04/2007 - Saturn from Cassini spacecraft 04/2007 - Image obtained by the Cassini probe on 13 April 2007 at a distance of 1.8 million km from the planet. Colorful Saturn tilts its darkened ringplane towards Cassini. Against the dark sky, the rings are made visible by the light that scatters through them towards the camera. The F ring shepherd moon Pandora (84 kilometers, or 52 miles across) is faintly visible at the top, left of center. Pandora's brightness was increased by a factor of three to aid its visibility. This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 18 degrees above the ringplane. The planet is visible through the innermost and outermost portions of the rings. The images were obtained by the Cassini spacecraft wide - angle camera on April 13, 2007, at a distance of approximately 1.8 million kilometers (1.1 million miles) from Saturn

The hidden face of the Moon and the Earth seen from DSCOVR. 07/2015 - Far side of the Moon with Earth seen from DSCOVR. 07/2015 - This image obtained on July 16, 2015 by the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite shows the passage of the Moon and its face hidden from the Earth. The distance between DSCOVR and Earth is about 1.5 million kilometres. The Moon was approximately 400,000 kilometres from Earth, so it was closer to DSCOVR and therefore appears larger than it is in relation to Earth. This image shows the far side of the moon, illuminated by the sun, as it crosses between the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) spacecraft's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) camera and telescope, and the Earth - one million miles away. Because the moon has moved in relation to the Earth between the time the first (red) and last (green) exposures were made, a thin green offset appears on the right side of the moon when the three exposures are combined.

Module Apollo 13 Damage - View of the damaged Apollo 13 Service Module - View of the control module of Apollo 13 Damage. 17/04/1970. This view of the damaged Apollo 13 Service Module (SM) was photographed from the Lunar Module/Command Module following SM jettisoning. As seen here, an entire SM panel was blown away by the apparent explosion of oxygen tank number two located in Sector 4 of the SM. Two of the three fuel cells are visible just forward (above) the heavily damaged area. Three fuel cells, two oxygen tanks, and two hydrogen tanks are located in Sector 4. The damaged area is located above the S - Band high gain antenna. Nearest the camera is the Service Propulsion System (SPS) engine and nozzle. The damage to the SM caused the Apollo 13 crewmen to use the Lunar Module (LM) as a “” lifeboat.” The Lunar Module “” Aquarius”” was jettisoned just prior to Earth reentry by the Command Module “” Odyssey”””.

The spiral shapes of two of these galaxies appear mostly intact. The third galaxy (to the far left) is more compact, but shows evidence of star formation. Two of the three galaxies are forming new stars at a high rate. This is evident in the bright blue knots of star formation that are strung along the arms of the galaxy on the right and along the small galaxy on the left. The largest component is located in the middle of the three. It appears as a spiral galaxy, which may be barred.

Arp 274, also known as NGC 5679, is a system of three galaxies that appear to be partially overlapping in the image, although they may be at somewhat different distances. The spiral shapes of two of these galaxies appear mostly intact. The third galaxy (to the far left) is more compact, but shows evidence of star formation. Two of the three galaxies are forming new stars at a high rate. This is evident in the bright blue knots of star formation that are strung along the arms of the galaxy on the right and along the small galaxy on the left. The largest component is located in the middle of the three. It appears as a spiral galaxy, which may be barred. The entire system resides at about 400 million light - years away from Earth in the constellation Virgo. Hubble's Wide Fi

Swan Lace - detail - This is an image of a small portion of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant, taken with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera on Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope on April 24, 1991. The Cygnus Loop marks the edge of a bubble - like, expanding blast wave from a colossal stellar explosion which occurred about 15,000 years ago. The supernova blast wave is slamming into tenuous clouds of interstellar gas. This collision heats and compresses the gas, causing it to glow. The shock acts as a searchlight by revealing the structure of the interstellar medium. Hubble's detailed image shows the blast wave overrunning dense clumps of gas. Although HST can reveal details about as small as our Solar System, the clumps are still unresolvable. This means that they must be small enough to fit inside our Solar System, making them relatively small structures by interstellar standards. A bluish ribbon of light stretching left to right across the picture might be a knot of gas ejected by the su

Uranus and three satellites seen by Voyager 2 - Image obtained by the Voyager 2 probe in January 1986 showing the planet Uranus accompanied by the satellites Ariel (top right), Miranda (closest to the planet) and Umbriel (bottom left). This Voyager photograph of Uranus taken in january 1986 is a composite of for images taken by the narrow angle camera. At this range, clouds and other features in the atmosphere as small as 1,370 km. could be detected by Voyager 2. Yet, no such features are visible. This view is toward the illuminated south pole of Uranus. The predominant blue color is the result of atmospheric methane, which absorbs the red wavelengths from incoming sunlight. The spot at the upper left edge of the planet's disk reulted from the removal of a network mark used in making measurments on the photograph. Three of Uranus' five known satellites are visible; Miranda (at far right, closest to the planet), Ariel (next out, at top), and Umbriel (lower left). Titania and Oberon are

Cepheides in the galaxy M81 - Cepheids in the galaxy M81 - Cepheides are very bright variable stars that serve as cosmic beacons to measure distance from nearby galaxies. Their pulse period is measured and their absolute luminosite is calculated. By comparing the result to their apparent luminosite in the sky, they can be calculated accurately. Here, the space telescope identified cepheides in the M81 galaxy; astronomers were able to deduce a new distance for this galaxy; it would be 11 million years - light from Earth; previous estimates gave a figure of 18 million light years. Image obtained in 1993. Astronomers have discovered variable stars in the spiral galaxy M81, and measured the distance of the galaxy to be 11 million light - years (3.4 megaparsecs). They quote a 10% uncertainty in this result (plus or minus approximately one million light - years). Previous estimates of the galaxy's distance have ranged from 4.5 to 18 million light - years (1.4 to 5.6 megaparsecs). The astrono

Cepheides in the galaxy M81 - Cepheids in the galaxy M81 - Cepheides are very bright variable stars that serve as cosmic beacons to measure distance from nearby galaxies. Their pulse period is measured and their absolute luminosite is calculated. By comparing the result to their apparent luminosite in the sky, they can be calculated accurately.
