Space Exploration: Soyuz and Orion Ships - Artist's View - CEV-Soyuz Joint Mission - An American Orion ship mooring has a Soyuz TMA-M spaceship during a distant space exploration mission. Here, the ship is approaching a satellite stationed at a point in Lagrange. Illustration. An Orion class Crew Exploration Vehicle (AKA Deep Space Vehicle) is paired with a Soyuz TMA-M manned spacecraft for a joint deep space rendezvous with a satellite parked in a gravitationally stable Lagrangian point about 1 million miles beyond the orbit of the Earth's Moon. At this position, in this case a Lagrangian point 2, or L2, the Earth is between the spacecraft and the Sun resulting in the Earth eclipsing much of the Sun's light, however at this distance the Earth does not subtend an angle large enough to cover the entire disk of the Sun.

Galaxy clusters LCDCS - 0829 - Galaxy cluster LCDCS - 0829 - Gravitational lenses in the galaxy cluster LCDCS - 0829. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope usually works as a solo artist to capture awe - inspiring images of the distant Universe. For this picture, though, Hubble had a helping hand from the subject of the image, a galaxy cluster called LCDCS - 0829, as the huge mass of the galaxies in the cluster acted like a giant magnifying glass. This strange effect is called gravitational lensing. The object was discovered during the Las Campanas Distant Clusters Survey, which explains the cluster's unusual name. This survey was carried out in March 1995 using a 1 - metre telescope at the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. More than one thousand clusters of galaxies, most of them previously unknown, were found in a dedicated survey of a long, but narrow, section of the southern sky.

Spiral galaxy M81 seen by the Hubble space telescope - Spiral galaxy M81 in Ursa Major - The spiral galaxy M81 is located 12 million years ago - light from Earth. Its arms are home to star-forming regions, while its core is surrounded by much older yellow stars and a black hole. Image obtained by the Hubble space telescope with the ACS camera in 2006. Although the M81 galaxy is 11.6 million light - years away, this image taken by the Hubble space telescope is so sharp that it can resolve individual stars, along with open star clusters, globular star clusters, and even glowing regions of fluorescent gas. The spiral arms, which wind all the way down into the nucleus, are made up of young, bluish, hot stars formed in the past few million years. They also host a population of stars formed in an episode of star formation that started about 600 million years ago. The greenish regions are dense areas of bright star formation. The ultraviolet light from hot young stars are fluorescing the surr

Pluto - Pluto - The dwarf planet Pluto seen by the Hubble space telescope. These images, recomposed by computer from cliches obtained in 2002 and 2003, are not sufficiently precise to show Pluto's surface in detail but reveal color differences. This is the most detailed view to date of the entire surface of the dwarf planet Pluto, as constructed from multiple NASA Hubble Space Telescope photographs taken from 2002 to 2003. Hubble's view isn't sharp enough to see craters or mountains, if they exist on the surface, but Hubble reveals a complex - looking and variegated world with white, dark - orange, and charcoal - black terrain. The overall color is believed to be a result of ultraviolet radiation from the distant Sun breaking up methane that is present on Pluto's surface, leaving behind a dark, molasse - colored, carbon - rich residue. The center disk (180 degrees) has a mysterious bright spot that is unusually rich in carbon monoxide frost. This region will be photographed in the high

Detail in the Tarantula Nebula - Part of the Tarantula Nebula - The Tarantula Nebula (or 30 Bream bream) is the largest star-forming region of the Magellan Cloud. It is located 170,000 light years ago in the constellation Dorado (southern hemisphere). This image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) shows a detail of the nebula around NGC 2060, a cluster of stars associated with a remnant of supernova (N157b) housing a pulsar. The part of the Tarentula nebula visible in this image from Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys is criss - crossed with tendrils of dust and gas churned up by recent supernovae. These supernova remnants include NGC 2060, visible above and to the left of the centre of this image, which contains the brightest known pulsar. The tarantula's bite goes beyond NGC 2060. Near the edge of the nebula, outside the frame, below and to the right, lie the remains of supernova SN 1987a, the closest supernova to Earth to be observed since the invention of telescopes in t

Exoplanete near a star at the end of life - A dying star sheds its outer layers - An artist's view of a star that, like the Sun at the end of life, turns into a red giant, and expels its upper layers into concentric circles, before becoming a white dwarf. In the foreground, an exoplanet distant from its star that sees its surface reheat. When a star like our sun nears the end of its life, it expands to more than 50 times its original diameter, becoming a red giant. Then over the next several tens of thousands of years the star episodically ejects its outer layers into space, sometimes producing concentric shells. These ejected layers eventually form a planetary nebula. What will subsequently remain of the star is a small, extremely hot core which cools off to become a white dwarf. In this image a red giant star expels its first of many shells of gas into space. In the years to come this spherical shell will grow outward, its circumference eventually expanding far beyond the orbit of th

Barree spiral galaxy NGC 6872 in interaction with IC 4970 in the Peacock - Barred spiral interacting galaxy NGC 6872 in Pavo - The barree spiral galaxy NGC 6872 and lenticular IC 4970 are located about 300 million years away - light from Earth. NGC 6872 extends over nearly 750,000 years - light. Image obtained by the ANTU telescope of the VLT on March 29, 1999. View of the spectacular barred spiral galaxy NGC 6872 obtained with FORS1 at ANTU telescope (VLT) in the morning of March 29, 1999. It is of type SBB and is accompanied by a smaller, interacting galaxy, IC 4970 of type S0 (just above the centre). The bright object to the lower right of the galaxies is a star in the Milky Way whose image has been strongly overexposed and exhibits multiple optical reflections in the telescope and instrument. There are also many other, fainter and more distant galaxies of many different forms in the field. The upper left spiral arm of NGC 6872 is significantly disturbed and is populated by a pletho

Abell 383 galaxy cluster and primitive galaxy - Abell 383 cluster of galaxies with gravitational arcs - Abell 383 is a cluster of galaxies located in the constellation Eridan. This image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in 2011 shows gravitational arcs among galaxies. These mirages are deformed images of farther galaxies located behind the cluster. Thanks to this magnifying effect, the resulting image revealed the presence of a primitive galaxy, nee 200 million years after the big blow. Astronomers have uncovered one of the youngest galaxies in the distant universe, with stars that formed 13.5 billion years ago, a mere 200 million years after the Big Bang.

Abell 383 galaxy cluster and primitive galaxy - Abell 383 cluster of galaxies with gravitational arcs - Abell 383 is a cluster of galaxies located in the constellation Eridan. This image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in 2011 shows gravitational arcs among galaxies. These mirages are deformed images of farther galaxies located behind the cluster. Thanks to this magnifying effect, the resulting image revealed the presence of a primitive galaxy, nee 200 million years after the big blow. Astronomers have uncovered one of the youngest galaxies in the distant universe, with stars that formed 13.5 billion years ago, a mere 200 million years after the Big Bang.

Star field in the constellation Sagittarius - Scattered stars in Sagittarius: Stars in Sagittarius seen by the space telescope Hubble. This colourful and star-studded view of the Milky Way galaxy was captured when the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope pointed its cameras towards the constellation of Sagittarius (The Archer). Blue stars can be seen scattered across the frame, set against a distant backdrop of red-hued cosmic companions. This blue litter most likely formed at the same time from the same collapsing molecular cloud. The colour of a star can reveal many of its secrets. Shades of red indicate a star much cooler than the Sun, so either at the end of its life, or much less massive. These low-mass stars are called red dwarfs and are thought to be the most common type of star within the Milky Way. Similarly, brilliant blue hues indicate hot, young, or massive stars, many times the mass of the Sun. A star's mass decides its fate; more massive stars burn brightly over a short lifesp

Spiral galaxy M74 in Pisces - Spiral galaxy M74 in Pisces - Image of the spiral galaxy M74 (NGC 628). This galaxy is about 80,000 light years and is 30 million light years apart. Viewed face on, as it appeared about 30 million years ago, M74 is considered to be one of the most photogenic spiral galaxies in the sky. The galaxy is rich in young bright blue stars and glowing red regions of dust and molecular hydrogen where new stars are being created. M74, however, is quite camera shy - it has a low surface brightness that makes it challenging for both visual observers and astrophotographers to see it's entire form. The Chandra X - Ray observatory, discovered M74 to be the home of a super massive black hole, tucked away in one of it's outer arms. This black hole is one of the largest ever discovered and has the mass of over 10,000 suns

Spiral galaxy M74 in Pisces - Spiral galaxy M74 in Pisces - This galaxy measures about 80,000 years - light and is 30 million years away - light. Image obtained with a 50 cm telescope, composite of several poses. M74 is located roughly 30 million light - years away in the direction of the constellation Pisces, the Fish. It is the dominant member of a small group of about half a dozen galaxies, the M74 galaxy group. In its entirety, it is estimated that M74 is home to about 100 billion stars, making it slightly smaller than our Milky Way. Its perfectly symmetrical spiral arms emanate from the central nucleus and are dotted with clusters of young blue stars and glowing pink regions of ionized hydrogen (hydrogen atoms that have lost their electrons). These regions of star formation show an excess of light at ultraviolet wavelengths. Tracing along the spiral arms are winding dust lanes that also begin very near the galaxy's nucleus and follow along the length of the spiral arms

Centaurus A elliptical galaxy (NGC 5128) in Centaurus - Galaxy Centaurus A (NGC 5128) - The galaxy NGC 5128 is located about 13 million light years away from Earth in the southern constellation of Centaurus. A broad dark band crosses it in the middle, a probable vestige of a collision with a spiral galaxy. This Giant Galaxy is a powerful radio source known as Centaurus A. It is an active galaxy whose energy comes from a supermassive black hole. The green dot visible in the dust strip is a supernova, the supernova 1986g. It appears green because the red filter image that made this trichromy image was only taken a year after the event and the supernova had weakened. Image obtained from the 3.9m telescope of Siding Spring, Australia. Centaurus A is a most unusual galaxy. The circular, uniformly bright portion is composed of several thousand million stars, most of them old and yellowish. The galaxy is girded by a dense dust lane which obscures and reddens the light of stars behind it. Some

Nebula N44 in the Large Magellan Cloud - Superbubble LHA 120 - N 44 in the Large Magellanic Cloud - This image obtained by the Very Large Telescope (VLT) shows the nebula N44 surrounding the cluster of stars NGC 1929. It is a star-forming region located in the galaxy of the Great Magellan Cloud, about 170,000 light years from Earth. Eso's Very Large Telescope captured this striking view of the nebula around the star cluster NGC 1929 within the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way. A colossal example of what astronomers call a superbubble dominates this stellar nursery. It is being carved by the winds from bright young stars and the shockwaves from supernova explosions. This nebula is officially known as LHA 120 - N 44, or just N 44 for short. Hot young stars in NGC 1929 are emitting intense ultraviolet light and causing the gas to glow. This effect highlights the aptly - named superbubble, a vast shell of material around 325 by 250 light - years across. For c

Kepler - 186f, the first Earth - size Planet in the Habitable Zone - Kepler - 186f is the first Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone of its star to be discovered. It orbits Kepler - 186, a red dwarf located in the constellation of Swan, between 490 and 500 years of light from the Earth. The artist's concept depicts Kepler - 186f, the first validated Earth - size planet to orbit a distant star in the habitable zone - - a range of distance from a star where liquid water might pool on the planet's surface. The discovery of Kepler - 186f confirms that Earth - size planets exist in the habitable zones of other stars and signals a significant step closer to finding a world similar to Earth. The size of Kepler - 186f is known to be less than ten percent larger than Earth, but its mass, composition and density are not known. Previous research suggests that a planet the size of Kepler - 186f is likely to be rocky. Prior to this discovery, the “” record holder”” for the most “” Earth - like”

Globular cluster NGC 7006 - Globular cluster NGC 7006 - The globular cluster NGC 7006 is located in the constellation Dauphin about 135,000 years old - light from Earth. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows a compact and remote globular star cluster that lies in one of the smallest constellations in the night sky, Delphinus (The Dolphin). Due to its modest size, great distance and relatively low brightness, NGC 7006 is often ignored by amateur astronomers. But even remote globular clusters such as this one appear bright and clear when imaged by Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys. NGC 7006 resides in the outskirts of the Milky Way. It is about 135,000 light - years away, five times the distance between the Sun and the centre of the galaxy, and it is part of the galactic halo. This roughly spherical region of the Milky Way is made up of dark matter, gas and sparsely distributed stellar clusters. Like other remote globular

Abell 2218 galaxy cluster in the Dragon - Gravitational lenses in the galaxy cluster Abell 2218 - The Abell 2218 galaxy cluster is located about 2 billion years ago - light from Earth in the constellation of the Dragon. It is so massive that its gravity curved and amplifies the light from other galaxies located behind it. Thus, these galaxies appear on this cliche obtained by the Hubble space telescope in the form of arcs. Abell 2218 resides in the constellation Draco, some 2 billion light - years from Earth. The cluster is so massive that its enormous gravitational field deflects light rays passing through it, much as an optical lens bends light to form an image. This phenomenon, called gravitational lensing, magnifies, brightens, and distorts images from faraway objects. The cluster's magnifying powers provides a powerful “” zoom lens”” for viewing distant galaxies that could not normally be observed with the largest telescopes. This useful phenomenon has produced the arc - shaped pa

Field of distant galaxies - Hubble eXtreme Deep Field (XDF) - Distant galaxies - Hubble eXtreme Deep Field (XDF) - Image of distant galaxies obtained in infrared by the Hubble space telescope in the constellation of the Furnace. The farthest galaxies visible in this image are 13.2 billion light years away. Called the Extreme Deep Field, or XDF, the photo was assembled by combining 10 years of NASA Hubble Space Telescope photographs taken of a patch of sky at the center of the original Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The XDF is a small fraction of the angular diameter of the full Moon. The Hubble Ultra Deep Field is an image of a small area of space in the constellation Fornax, created using Hubble Space Telescope data from 2003 and 2004. By collecting faint light over many hours of observation, it revealed thousands of galaxies, both nearby and very distant, making it the deepest image of the universe ever taken at that time.

Distant galaxies in the Fornax constellation - Distant galaxies in the Fornax constellation - Image of distant galaxies obtained by the Hubble space telescope in the constellation Forneau in September 2003. This image represents a typical view of our distant universe. In taking this picture, Hubble is looking down a long corridor of galaxies stretching billions of light - years distant in space, corresponding to looking billions of years back in time. The field shown in this picture covers a relatively small patch of sky, a fraction of the area of the full moon, yet it is richly populated with a variety of galaxy types. A handful of large fully formed galaxies are scattered throughout the image. These galaxies are easy to see because they are relatively close to us. Several of the galaxies are spirals with flat disks that are oriented edge - on or face - on to our line of sight, or somewhere in between. Elliptical galaxies and more exotic galaxies with bars or tidal tails are also visi
