March - Volcanos Ceraunius Tholus and Uranius Tholus - Mars - Volcanos Ceraunius Tholus and Uranius Tholus - Image obtained by the Mars Global Surveyor probe in March 2002. This image shows the volcanoes Ceraunius Tholus (bottom) and Uranius Tholus (top). The presence of impact crateres on these volcanoes indicates that these volcanoes are old. The crater at the top of Ceraunius Tholus is about 25 km in diameter. Acquired in March 2002, this Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera wide angle view shows the martian volcanoes, Ceraunius Tholus (lower) and Uranius Tholus (upper). The presence of impact craters on these volcanoes, particularly on Uranius Tholus; indicates that they are quite ancient and are not active today. The light - toned area on the southeastern face (towards lower right) of Ceraunius Tholus is a remnant of a once more extensive deposit of dust from the global dust storm events that occurred in 2001. The crater at the summit of Ceraunius Tholus is about 25 km (

Halo around the Sun - Sun Halo - Halos are due to the light of the Sun reflected by high-altitude clouds, cirrostratus, composed of ice crystals. They bend the light and cause a perfect circle around the Sun. Here we can see: - around the Sun, the halo of 22* radius, rather little contrast. - on the left of the Sun, a brilliant parhely but little colour. - on the top of the halo of 22* radius, the upper arc tangent in the shape of a U evase. - on the left, the arc of Parry. - near the zenith, the arc circumzenithal, colour. 28 October 2006, Quimper O are caused by sunlight being refracted by cirro - stratus clouds. These are thin clouds, very high in the atmosphere, and are composed of ice crystals. They bend light at a 22 degree angle, which creates a halo around the sun that is 44 degrees in diameter.

Apollo 17: orange soil on the Moon - Apollo 17: the orange soil - View of orange soil, rich in zinc, probably of volcanic origin. Station 4, near the Shorty Crater. 12/12/1972. A view of the area at Station 4 (Shorty Crater) showing the now highly - publicized orange soil which the Apollo 17 crew members found on the moon during the second Apollo 17 extravehicular activity (EVA) at the Taurus - Littrow landing site. The tripod - like object is the gnomon and photometric chart assembly which is used as a photographic reference to establish local vertical sun angle, scale and lunar color. The gnomon is one of the Apollo lunar geology hand tools. While astronauts Eugene A. Cernan, commander, and Harrison H. Schmitt, lunar module pilot, descended in the Lunar Module (LM) “” Challenger”” to explore the Taurus - Littrow region of the moon, astronaut Ronald E. Evans, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) “” America”” in lunar orbit. Schmitt was the crew man

Arc de fog - Fogbow - Arc de fog observed in Brittany on 5 May 2006. A haze arc is formed in the way of a rainbow. The light of the Sun is reflected in the water drops of the mist, but unlike raindrops, the mist droplets are much smaller: about a millimetre for the rain versus a few centiemes for the mist. As a result, the diffraction in the mist droplets is preponderant, which results in colour refracting at random angles, between 30 and 45* around the anti-sun point (opposite the Sun). Thus, all colours blend and one sees a white arch of light, sometimes slightly bluish on the inside and red on the outside, wider than a rainbow. Fogbow seen in Brittany on May 5, 2006. A fogbow is forming like a rainbow. The sunlight reflects in the fog droplets, but thoses droplets are much more smaller than the raindrops: about hundredths millimeters for the fog instead of about one millimeter for the rain. Thus, the diffraction in the fog droplets is leading, then the colors are refracted under ang

The European launch vehicle Vega - Illustration - European Vega Launcher - Illustration - Vega is a European Space Agency (ESA) launcher capable of placing a payload of up to 2 tonnes in low orbit. It is expected that it will join from 2010 the range of launchers of the space agency, which includes launchers Soyuz and Ariane. Under development since 1998, the Vega launcher is an all - solid three - stage vehicle with a liquid - fuelled injection module, based on proven technologies from Ariane 5 booster stages and Fiatavio's Zefiro solid rocket motor. Vega will be marketed and operated by Arianespace, in parallel to Ariane 5. Vega is designed to loft single or multiple payloads to orbits up to 1,500 km in altitude. Its reference payload capability is about 1,500 kg to a circular 500 - km - high Sun - synchronous orbit but it can also loft satellites from 300 kg to more than 2 metric tons, as well as piggyback microsatellites of less than 100 kg each.

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

Arc de fog - Fogbow - Arc de fog observed in Brittany on 5 May 2006. A haze arc is formed in the way of a rainbow. The light of the Sun is reflected in the water drops of the mist, but unlike raindrops, the mist droplets are much smaller: about a millimetre for the rain versus a few centiemes for the mist. As a result, the diffraction in the mist droplets is preponderant, which results in colour refracting at random angles, between 30 and 45* around the anti-sun point (opposite the Sun). Thus, all colours blend and one sees a white arch of light, sometimes slightly bluish on the inside and red on the outside, wider than a rainbow. Fogbow seen in Brittany on May 5, 2006.

At the bottom left of the image, the two brilliant dots are the Enceladus and Tethys satellites. Nasa's Cassini spacecraft has delivered a glorious view of Saturn, taken while the spacecraft was in Saturn's shadow. The cameras were turned toward Saturn and the sun so that the planet and rings are backlit. (The sun is behind the planet, which is shielding the cameras from direct sunlight.) In addition to the visual splendor, this special, very - high - phase viewing geometry lets scientists study ring and atmosphere phenomena not easily seen at a lower phase. Also captured in this image are two of Saturn's moons: Enceladus and Tethys. Both appear on the left side of the planet, below the rings.

Crete vue de l'espace - Crete seen from space - La Crete vue from the International Space Station (ISS) on 22 July 2011. Crete is the largest and most heavily populated island of Greece (or the Hellenic Republic). The island stretches approximately 260 kilometers (161 miles) from west to east, and it is roughly 60 kilometers (37 miles) across at its widest point. The rugged terrain of Crete includes mountains, plateaus, and several deep gorges. The largest city on the island, Heraklion, sits on the northern coastline. Several smaller islands ring Crete. Two of the largest of these, Dia and Gavdos, are sparsely populated year - round, although Gavdos hosts numerous summer visitors. The western and central parts of Crete appear surrounded by quicksilver in this astronaut photograph taken from the International Space Station. This phenomenon is known as sunglint, caused by light reflecting off of the sea surface directly towards the observer. The point of maximum reflectance is visible as

Saturn seen by the Cassini probe on 23/07/2008 - Saturn seen by Cassini spacecraft on july 23 2008 - Saturn seen by the Cassini probe on 23 July 2008 at a distance of 1.1 million km from the planet. Mosaic of 30 images. Several satellites are visible in this image: Titan, Janus, Mimas, Pandora, Epimethee and Enceladus. As Saturn advances in its orbit toward equinox and the sun gradually moves northward on the planet, the motion of Saturn's ring shadows and the changing colors of its atmosphere continue to transform the face of Saturn as seen by Cassini. This captivating natural color view was created from images collected shortly after Cassini began its extended Equinox Mission in July 2008. This mosaic combines 30 images - - 10 each of red, green and blue light - - taken over the course of approximately two hours as Cassini panned its wide - angle camera across the entire planet and ring system on July 23, 2008, from a southerly elevation of 6 degrees.

Archean stromatolites - Illustration showing the shores of an ancient sea 3 billion years ago. In the foreground, stromatolites, aggregation of sediments and cyanobacteries. Stromatoliths have undoubtedly contributed to our dioxygen-rich atmosphere and the ozone layer that allowed the development of a more complex terrestrial and oceanic life. Dome - shaped stromatolites, averaging three feet high and four feet wide, populate the shallow shore of an ancient sea 3 billion years ago. The Moon looms near the horizon, much closer to the Earth than it is now and therefore appearing considerably larger, but otherwise looking much like the moon we know today. 3 billion years ago the first macro evidence of life on Earth may have appeared in the form of large aggregations of microorganisms and associated sediments known as stromatolites. Cyanobacteria (AKA blue - green algae) were likely one of the primary contributors to these aggregations. During the Archean Eon the Earth's atmosphere contai

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
