Saturn rings seen by Cassini - Saturn's rings from Cassini - Image obtained by the Cassini probe on May 9, 2007 at a distance of 1.1 million km from the planet. This natural color view shows the system of rings of Saturn up to ring F. The system of rings is composed from closest to Saturn to outermost by ring D, then C, B, the division of Cassini, A with division of Encke, F, G and E. This natural color mosaic was acquired by the Cassini spacecraft as it soared 39 degrees above the unilluminated side of the rings. Major named gaps are labeled at the top. The main rings themselves, along with the F ring, are labeled at the bottom, along with their inner and outer boundaries. The view combines 45 images - - 15 separate sets of red, green and blue images - - taken over the course of about 2.5 hours, as Cassini scanned across the rings. The images in this view were obtained on May 9, 2007, at a distance of approximately 1.1 million kilometers (700,000 miles) from Saturn. Image scale in the

Saturn seen by the Cassini probe 02/2007 - Saturn from Cassini spacecraft 02/2007 - Image obtained by the Cassini probe on 3 February 2007 at a distance of 1.1 million km from the planet. At the bottom of the picture, near the planet blade on the left, we can distinguish the Janus satellite. View of Saturn obtained with the Cassini spacecraft on February 03 2007, at a distance of approximately 1.1 million kilometers from the planet. The small moon Janus can be spotted off the planet's western limb near the image bottom

Saturn seen by the Cassini probe on 10 - 09 - 2007 - Saturn seen by Cassini spacecraft Sept. 10 2007. - Saturn seen by the Cassini probe on 10 - 09 - 2007 at a distance of 3.3 million km from the planet shortly before it flew over the Japet satellite. Mosaic of 45 images. Several satellites are visible in this image; from right to left: Titan, Tethys, Rhea, Mimas, Enceladus and Dione. While on final approach for its Sept. 2007 close encounter with Saturn's moon Iapetus, Cassini spun around to take in a sweeping view of the Saturn System. Iapetus (1,468 kilometers, or 912 miles across) is the only major moon of Saturn with a significant inclination to its orbit. From the other major satellites, the rings would appear almost edge - on, but from Iapetus, the rings usually appear at a tilt, as seen here. This natural color mosaic consists of 15 red, green and blue spectral filter images acquired in five wide - angle camera footprints that swept across the scene. Moons visible in this image

Saturn and satellites seen by the Hubble space telescope - Saturn rings edge - on with satellites - Saturn observed by the Hubble space telescope on February 24, 2009 when the Earth is in the same plane as the rings, seen by the slice. This phenomene occurs every 15 years. This sequence of images taken for just over three hours shows the movement from left to right of four satellites in front of the planet. From left to right on the top image we see the satellites Enceladus, Dione (the brightest ice satellite), Mimas and the largest satellite, Titan, orange. This sequence of images captures the parade of several of Saturn's moons transiting the face of the gas giant planet from left to right during more than three hours. This is a rare event because the rings are tilted edge on to Earth every 15 years. The top frame captures the giant moon Titan and its shadow near Saturn's northern polar hood. Tiny Mimas and its shadow have just entered the left limb of Saturn, slightly above the ring

Irregular Galaxy M82 in the Great Bear - The irregular galaxy M82 in Ursa Major - M82 is an irregular galaxy distant about 12 million years - light of the Earth. Its nucleus, which appears to have suffered from the passage of the neighbouring galaxy M81, is in a phase of violent star activity. Its central regions visible on this image obtained by the space telescope are rich in star formation. These hot stars blow a stellar wind that becomes a very violent galactic wind. Located 12 million light - years away, M82 appears high in the northern spring sky in the direction of the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear. It is also called the “” Cigar Galaxy”” because of the elliptical shape produced by the oblique tilt of its starry disk relative to our line of sight. This image is a six - image composite mosaic obtained with the Hubble space telescope in March 2006

Elliptical galaxy NGC 1275 in Persee - Elliptical galaxy NGC 1275 in Perseus - View of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1275 located 230 million years ago - light in the center of the cluster of Persee galaxies. This image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2006 reveals filamentary structures surrounding the galaxy. These gas filaments would come from the interaction between the cold gas of the center of the galaxy or resides a supermassive black hole and the warmer gas present in the galaxy cluster. This Hubble Space Telescope image of galaxy NGC 1275 reveals the fine, thread - like filamentary structures in the gas surrounding the galaxy. The red filaments are composed of cool gas being suspended by a magnetic field, and are surrounded by the 100 - million - degree Fahrenheit hot gas in the center of the Perseus galaxy cluster. The filaments are dramatic markers of the feedback process through which energy is transferred from the central massive black hole to the surrounding ga

It interacts with another spiral galaxy, LEDA 62867, on the left; it will probably swallow it in the distant future. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on March 10, 2002. This Hubble image displays a beautiful pair of interacting spiral galaxies with swirling arms. The smaller of the two, dubbed LEDA 62867 and positioned to the left of the frame, seems to be safe for now, but will probably be swallowed by the larger spiral galaxy, NGC 6786 (to the right) eventually. There is already some disturbance visible in both components. The pair is number 538 in Karachentsev's Catalog of Pairs of Galaxies. A supernova was seen to explode in the large spiral in 2004.
