Size comparison: Earth and Saturn - Saturn and the Earth compared - Saturn, the second largest planet in the solar system compared to Earth. Saturn's diameter is about nine times greater than the Earth's. If you weigh 180 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only 165 pounds at Saturn's cloud tops (despite Saturn's enormous mass, its density is so low that if you were able to stand atop Saturn's clouds, you would feel a pull of gravity slightly less than what you feel on the Earth's surface). Saturn is ten times further from the Sun than the Earth. Saturn has the honor of being the second-largest planet in the Solar System, though it has only 30% the mass of its jovian better Jupiter. Like Jupiter, Saturn is blanketed by thick clouds and is believed to have no solid surface except for a relatively small, Earth-size core of rock and metals

Kepler's Law - Illustration - The segment that connects the planet to the Sun sweeps equal areas in equal times. In other words, the speed of a planet becomes greater when the planet approaches the Sun. It is maximum in the vicinity of the shortest radius (perihelie), and minimal in the vicinity of the largest radius (aphelie). Second Kepler's law, the line joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time. The planet moves faster near the Sun, so the same area is swept out in a given time as at larger distances, where the planet moves more slowl

La formation du système solaire - Vue d'artiste - Artist's impression of the development of the Solar System - Vue d'artiste de planete en formation dans le disque de gaz et de dusts (disque protoplanetaire) autour de son toile. This artist's impression shows four stages of the development of the inner Solar System over a period of almost five billion years. The top panel shows the earliest stage where the debris disc around the Sun was composed of gas and tiny particles, typically less than one millimetre across. At the second stage the particles have formed large clumps, roughly 100 kilometers across and, similar to the asteroid Lutetia. These bodies in turn formed the rocky planets including the Earth, shown in the third panel down. Over the subsequent four billion years the surface of the Earth developed to what we know now under the influence of meteor bombardment that delivered volatile materials including water, and the evolution of life on its surface

Titan - Illustration - Saturn's satellite Titan - Artist's view of Titan, Saturn's largest satellite. Titan is Saturn's largest satellite and the second - largest satellite in the Solar System (just slightly smaller than Jupiter's Ganymede). Although Titan orbits Saturn, it is still larger than the planet Mercury and has the most substantial atmosphere of any satellite in the Solar System

Argyre measures 1300 km in diameter and is the second largest impact crater on Mars, after Hellas Planitia. The Argyre impact basin in the southern highlands of Mars. The basin, which is approximately 1,300 kilometers in diameter, was formed about 4 billion years ago during the Heavy Bombardment Period of the early Solar System when an asteroid or comet roughly 50 kilometers across impacted Mars. Argyre is believed to be the second - largest impact basin on Mars after Hellas Planitia and may be one of the best preserved ancient impact basins from the Heavy Bombardment Period

The neutron star is a pulsar named PSR J0348+0432 that is giving off radio waves that can be picked up on Earth by radio telescopes. Although this unusual pair is very interesting in its own right, it is also a unique laboratory for testing the limits of physical theories. This system is radiating gravitational radiation, ripples in spacetime. Although these waves (shown as the grid in this picture) cannot be yet detected directly by astronomers on Earth they can be sensed indirectly by measuring the change in the orbit of

Exoplanete Gliese 1214 b -: Gliese 1214 b (or GJ 1214 b) is a super-earth exoplanet orbiting the star Gliese 1214 in the constellation Ophiuchus, whose discovery was announced on December 16, 2009. It is located about 40 light years from the Sun. It is the third discovered exoplanet whose size is smaller than that of a gas giant and the first on which water could be present in large quantities given its size and estimated mass. It could be the first ocean planet discovered. Gliese 1214 b is an extrasolar planet that orbits the star Gliese 1214. The parent star is 13 parsecs (approximately 40 light-years) from the Sun, in the constellation Ophiuchus. The planet was discovered in December 2009. It is classified as a Super-earth because it is larger than Earth but has a mass and radius significantly less than those of the gas giants in the Solar System. After Corot-7b, it is the second such planet to be known and is the first of a new class of planets with small size and relatively low de

He pleaded not guilty to the two counts against him - the first that he committed acts that helped vitiate the system of government in the country in 1952 and the period that preceded it, by virtue of his close relationship with the ex-king and that he behaved in a manner that harmed the country's interests in their ethical, material and moral aspects. The second count says that Dr. Nakib committed acts in which he exploited his influence without any regard for the country's interest in his capacity as Director of the Moassat Hospital he misappropriated the hospital's funds to his own private advantages and to the advantage of the ex-King and others

Its core probably houses a black hole. NGC 1275 is located about 230 million years ago - light; it belongs to the large cluster of galaxies of Persee. These images, taken with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2), show traces of spiral structure accompanied by dramatic dust lanes and bright blue regions that mark areas of active star formation. Detailed observations of NGC 1275 indicate that the dusty material belongs to a spiral system seen nearly edge - on in the foreground. The second galaxy, lying beyond the first, is actually a giant elliptical with peculiar faint spiral structure in its nucleus.

These images, taken with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2), show traces of spiral structure accompanied by dramatic dust lanes and bright blue regions that mark areas of active star formation. Detailed observations of NGC 1275 indicate that the dusty material belongs to a spiral system seen nearly edge - on in the foreground. The second galaxy, lying beyond the first, is actually a giant elliptical with peculiar faint spiral structure in its nucleus.

Flying Star Zeta Ophiuchi - Runaway Star Zeta Ophiuchi - The blue star near the center of the image is Zeta Ophiuchi, a very massive star moving at 24 km per second. It is a “” fleeing star”, a star ejected by the explosion of his companion star. In this infrared image obtained by the WISE (Wide - field Infrared Survey Explorer) satellite, the interstellar dust traversed by the star appears, as well as an arc-shaped shock wave caused by the powerful stellar winds that the star breaks. The blue star near the center of this image is Zeta Ophiuchi. When seen in visible light it appears as a relatively dim red star surrounded by other dim stars and no dust. However, in this infrared image taken with Nasa's Wide - field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, a completely different view emerges. Zeta Ophiuchi is actually a very massive, hot, bright blue star plowing its way through a large cloud of interstellar dust and gas. Astronomers theorize that this stellar juggernaut was likely once part

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

Astronauts Story Musgrave, left, and Don Peterson float in the cargo bay of the Earth - orbiting space shuttle Challenger during their April 7, 1983, spacewalk on the STS - 6 mission. Their” floating” is restricted via tethers to safety slide wires. Thanks to the tether and slide wire combination, Peterson is able to translate, or move, along the port side hand rails. First called STA-099, Challenger was built to serve as a test vehicle for the Space Shuttle program. Challenger, the second orbiter to join Nasa's Space Shuttle fleet, arrived at Kennedy Space Center in Florida in July 1982. Challenger launched on her maiden voyage, STS - 6, on April 4, 1983 and saw the first spacewalk of the shuttle program, as well as the deployment of the first satellite - - the Tracking and Data Relay System.

Titan, Saturn satellite seen by Cassini: Visible and infrared composite image of Titan taken by the Cassini probe on September 12, 2013. View of methane and ethane lakes. - This false-color mosaic, made from infrared data collected by Nasa's Cassini spacecraft, reveals the differences in the composition of surface materials around hydrocarbon lakes at Titan, Saturn's largest moon. Titan is the only other place in the solar system that we know has stable liquid on its surface, though its lakes are made of liquid ethane and methane rather than liquid water. While there is one large lake and a few smaller ones near Titan's south pole, almost all of Titan's lakes appear near the moon's north pole - Scientists mapped near-infrared colors onto the visible color spectrum. Red in this image was assigned a wavelength of 5 microns (10 times longer than visible light), green 2.0 microns (four times longer than visible light), and blue 1.3 microns (2.6 times longer than visible light) - The orange

The second law of thermodynamics refers to the macroscopic States of an isolated piece of matter: any initial State evolves towards the one final State of maximum disorder called thermodynamic equilibrium, the State in which everything that could possibly occur has already happened
