Palm islands, Dubai 10/2002 - Palm islands, artificial islands built on the coast of the Emirates of Dubai. False colour image obtained by the Terra satellite in October 2002. The vegetation appears in red, the water in dark blue, the constructions in light blue or grey, the desert in beige. This image, acquired in October 2002 by Terra satellite, shows the early stages of Palm Jumeirah, also known as The Palm”” in Dubai. The circular outline of the archipelago is largely completed, and the palm fronds are beginning to take shape. Inland, cityscape begins to push eastward into the desert, with a combination of roads and buildings. The conspicuously vegetated area southeast of Palm Jumeirah is a golf course.

Volcanic ash cloud in Iceland - Volcanic ash cloud from Iceland - The volcanic ash plume caused by the eruption of the Eyjafjoell volcano (Eyjafjallajoekull) in Iceland seen by the Envisat satellite on 11 May 2010. A heavy plume of ash from Iceland's Eyjafjallajoekull volcano is visible travelling over the Atlantic in this Envisat Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer image acquired on 11 May 2010. The narrow shape of the ash cloud indicates a lot of wind is blowing in a southerly direction towards the west of Ireland. Also visible, the area around the Hakla volcano (east of Eyjafjallajoekull) now appears black as the snow and ice that surrounded it in April have been completely covered by ash. The volcano has been emitting steam and ash since its recent eruptions began on 20 March

Impact Crater Wolf Creek, Australia - Area around Wolf Creek impact crater, Australia - Part of the Great Sable Desert with Wolf Creek impact crater (or Wolfe Creek, top left) in Australia, seen by Terra satellite on September 22, 2006. It would have been formed about 300,000 years ago and its diameter is 880 metres. Wolfe Creek Crater lies on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert approximately 90 km south of Halls Creek in Western Australia. Almost circular, Wolfe Creek Crater (also known as Wolf Creek Crater, top middle left) is considered the second largest crater in the world from which meteorite fragments have been collected. Because of its excellent preservation, the crater clearly shows the classic features that result from a large meteorite striking the Earth. The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on Nasa's Terra satellite captured this image of Wolfe Creek Crater on September 22, 2006. The Australian Outback appears mostly in varying earth ton

Lusi mud volcano on Java Island - Lusi mud flow seen from space - The Lusi mud volcano (Sidoarjo) erupted in May 2006 and its flows continue to expand. Comparison of two satellite photos taken on August 24, 2004, on the left, and on November 11, 2008, on the right. On these false-coloured images obtained by the Terra satellite, the vegetation appears in red, the mud of the volcano in grey. On May 29, 2006, a mud volcano began erupting in a densely populated area in eastern Java, Indonesia. In the months that followed, the Sidoarjo mud flow (also known as the Lapindo mud flow, or Lusi) showed no signs of slowing, and mitigation efforts such as dropping chains of concrete balls down the crater proved ineffective. By June 2008, the massive mud lake spawned by this eruption had smothered a dozen villages and displaced some 30,000 residents. The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on Nasa's Terra satellite acquired these images on November 11, 2008, (right

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

This image is an artistic interpretation of a possible volcano on Venus. In fact, from previous missions to the planet, Venus appears to be among the most geologically active planets in the solar system. Venus Express is able to detect gaseous markers in the lower layers of the atmosphere and variations in its temperature, possible signs of volcanic activity. Local variations in atmospheric temperature and pressure may also indicate the presence of seismic activity

With both Cassini's wide-angle and narrow-angle cameras aimed at Saturn, Cassini was able to capture 323 images in just over four hours. This final mosaic uses 141 of those wide-angle images. Images taken using the red, green and blue spectral filters of the wide-angle camera were combined and mosaicked together to create this natural-color view.

Earth's atmosphere and night clouds - Earth's atmosphere, noctilucent clouds and Moon - View of the Earth's atmosphere and a crescent moon photographs from the International Space Station on July 27, 2003. Night clouds are also visible. These clouds look like cirrus but are much higher, between 75 and 90 km from the Earth's surface. Noctilucent clouds are very high clouds that look like cirrus clouds, but are much higher (75 - 90 km above the Earth's surface) than clouds that we observe every day. They are optically thin and can only be observed during twilight hours, when the sun is just below the horizon and only shines on the uppermost atmosphere. In this image, the limb of the Earth at the bottom transitions into the orange - colored troposphere, the lowest and most dense portion of the Earth's atmosphere. The troposphere ends abruptly at the tropopause, which appears in the image as the sharp boundary between the orange - and blue - colored atmosphere. The silvery - blue noctiluce

These true - color and composite near - true - color views chronicle the storm from its start in late 2010 through mid - 2011, showing how the distinct head of the storm quickly grew large but eventually became engulfed by the storm's tail. The earliest image of the storm, taken Dec. 5, 2010, is in the top left of the panel. The storm appears only as a small, white cloud on the terminator between the day side and night side of the planet. The next view, in the top middle of the panel and taken Jan. 2, 2011, shows that the head quickly grew much larger and a tail began to trail a great distance eastward.

Aquarius (The Water Carrier) is a large but relatively insconspicuous southern zodiacal constellation and has an area of about 980 square degrees, which makes it the 10th largest. Its origins as a constellation can be traced back to Babylonian times and has usually been delineated as a figure pouring water from a jar in the general direction of Capricornus and Piscis Austrinus, themselves quite watery constellations. The Sun is in this part of the sky in February and March, following the Ecliptic. The constellation embraces many objects of telescopic interest, including the Helix nebula and the Mira - like variable star R Aquarii.

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 are rich in star formation. Image obtained with a 50 cm telescope, composite of several poses. M82 is a prototypical irregular type galaxy located 12 million light years away in Ursa Major constellation. M82 is also the closest starburst galaxy to the Milky Way. As a starburst galaxy M82 shows a rate of star formation 10 times greater than our galaxy. Conditions for the starburst activity were believed triggered by a past close encounter with M81 between 300 and 600 million years ago

It also has a spectacular outer structure that consists principally of a large one - sided curved extension of one of these arms to the lower right, and a long, almost straight tail that emerges from the nucleus and crosses the extended arm to the upper right. The galaxy appears to be the result of a tidal interaction and the resulting merger of two predecessor systems.
