Moon Formation: Hypotheses of impact giant - Moon Formation: Giant impact hypothesis: The hypotheses of impact giant suggests that the Moon was created from material ejecteated by a collision between the young Earth and a body the size of Mars named Theia, 4.5 billion years ago - The giant-impact hypothesis, sometimes called the Big Splash, or the Theia Impact suggests that the Moon formed out of the debris left over from a collision between Earth and a body of the size of Mars, approximately 4.5 billion years ago

Solar Wind and Earth's Magnetic Field - Illustration - Solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere - Schema illustrating the path of the solar wind (blue arrows) striking the Earth's magnetosphere. The magnetosphere protects the Earth from particles emitted by the Sun. It departs the solar wind but some reaches the planet, especially at the level of the poles, where the boreal and southern aurora form. Diagram illustrating the solar wind (blue arrows) around the Earth's magnetosphere. Magnetosphere forms a shield that protects the Earth from the radiation of the solar wind. Some of the particles entering the magnetosphere, following magnetic field lines to the poles, are forming auroras

Earth - The geoid - Earth's geoid - The Earth's geoid, an image of the inegalites of the Earth's gravitation field. Image centered on the Atlantic Ocean. Image obtained by the GOCE satellite in 2011. ESA's GOCE mission has delivered the most accurate model of the 'geoid' ever produced, which will be used to further our understanding of how Earth works. A precise model of Earth's geoid is crucial for deriving accurate measurements of ocean circulation, sea - level change and terrestrial ice dynamics. The geoid is also used as a reference surface from which to map the topographical features on the planet. In addition, a better understanding of variations in the gravity field will lead to a deeper understanding of Earth's interior, such as the physics and dynamics associated with volcanic activity and earthquakes

Mission to Phobos - Phobos mission ready for departure - A spaceship assemblies in Earth orbit is ready to depart to Phobos, one of Mars's satellites. This ship consists of several fuel tanks and an Orion-type space capsule with three astronauts on board. No landing gear is required because the mass of Phobos is so low that this satellite can be approached by astronauts in extravehicular exit. A complete rocket system for delivering a crew of three to Mars' moon Phobos and returning them to the Earth. The vast bulk of the rocket is propellant divided into stages that are each released in turn as the mission progresses. On the far right are the crew accomodations and an attached Orion class command module. No dedicated lander is required as Phobos' mass is so low that it could be easily approached by the command module and explored by suited astrogeologists in Manned Maneuvering Units (MMUS)

Earth seen from Apollo 10 - Apollo 10 view of Earth - Earth seen by the crew of Apollo 10 on 18 May 1969. An Apollo 10 view of Earth from 100,000 nautical miles photographed from the spacecraft during its translunar journey towards the Moon. Visible are many areas of Europe and Africa. Among the features and countries identifiable are Portugal, Spain, Italy, Mediterranean Sea, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Black Sea, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sinai Peninsula, Nile Delta, Lake Chad, and South Africa.

November 2007 Temperature Map - Land surface temperatures in november 2007 - Map of average temperatures observed on Earth's surface by the Terra satellite between November 1 and December 1, 2007. The coldest regions appear in blue and white, the warmest in yellow and red. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) flying on NASA's Terra satellite between November 1 and December 1, 2007. It shows how the indirectness of sunlight at high latitudes affects temperature. The coldest areas, colored blue and white, are in the north, while the warmest areas, yellow and red, are near the Equator. These are also the planet's most snow - covered areas

Earth - The geoid - Earth's geoid - The Earth's geoid, an image of the inegalites of the Earth's gravitation field. Image centred on Indonesia. Image obtained by the GOCE satellite in 2011. ESA's GOCE mission has delivered the most accurate model of the 'geoid' ever produced, which will be used to further our understanding of how Earth works. A precise model of Earth's geoid is crucial for deriving accurate measurements of ocean circulation, sea - level change and terrestrial ice dynamics. The geoid is also used as a reference surface from which to map the topographical features on the planet. In addition, a better understanding of variations in the gravity field will lead to a deeper understanding of Earth's interior, such as the physics and dynamics associated with volcanic activity and earthquakes

Moon Formation: Another Hypotheses of Giant Impact - Moon Formation: Hit-and-run Giant Impact Scenario: The hypothesis of giant impact suggests that the Moon was created from material ejected by a collision between the young Earth and a body the size of Mars named Theia 4.5 billion years ago. This scenario is widely accepted, but analyses of lunar samples have shown a major problem with this theory: the Moon should be composed mainly of Theia materials. The elements of the Moon and the Earth show remarkable similarities. Researchers explored a new collision geometry, changing the impact configuration. Their simulation also integrates a more energetic impact (called “hit and run”) that could tear more matter from Earth and make the pre-lunar debris disc dominate by terrestrial matter - The giant-impact hypothesis, sometimes called the Big Splash, or the Theia Impact suggests that the Moon formed out of the debris left over from a collision between Earth and a body of the size of Mars, a

Once positioned in orbit, this gravitational assistance vessel would use very little fuel. This project would make a permanent link between the two planets. A Mars cycler swings by the Earth and onward to Mars while two astronauts in manned maneuvering units (AKA, MMUS) watch from afar.

This would happen if all glaciers on Earth melt. This is how South Asia may appear with mean sea level about 100 meters (330 feet) above today's. Such a dramatic rise in sea level could occur if all of the Earth's glaciers were to melt. In this image over half of Pakistan along with the Indian state of Gujarat have become part of the Arabian Sea while the Persian Gulf has consumed Iran's border with Kuwait and some of Iraq.

Artist's view of COROT, the exoplanet hunter mission led by CNES, with ESA participation. Launched in December 2006, COROT is placed on a circular, polar orbit around Earth that allow for continuous observations of two large and opposite regions in the sky for more than 150 days each. Within each region there are many selected fields that will be monitored in turn. The reason for the oppositely sited regions is that, because of the Earth's movement around the Sun, the sun's rays start to interfere with the observations after 150 days.

Ice on the Moon - Illustration - Lunar ice - Illustration - Artist's view of ice on the surface of a crater that remains perpetually in the shade of the Sun, near the poles. Water from an encounter with an icy comet has collected in the perpetual shade of a deep crater where the temperature is a constant - 380o F. In 1998, the unmanned Lunar Prospector probe discovered evidence for water ice on the surface of the moon. Some scientists believe that as much as 10 to 300 million tons of ice may reside at the moon's North and South poles. The source of the ice is thought to be from one or more comets that struck the moon's surface four billion years ago. (It is thought that Earth's water may have come from comets as well.) Unfortunately, the moon's small size and lack of an atmosphere caused it to lose almost all of its accumulated water to space. Any water that does remain on the moon would likely be on the poles, hidden in craters and depressions shaded from the Sun
