Great Barrier Reef in Australia from satellite - The Great Barrier Reef in Australia from satellite - The world's largest coral reef that extends off Queensland, Australia, seen by Envisat satellite on 18 May 2008. This Envisat satellite image features one of the natural wonders of the world - the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea off the east coast of Queensland, Australia. Australian researchers have discovered that Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) sensor can detect coral bleaching down to 10 m deep. This means Envisat could potentially map coral bleaching on a global scale. MERIS acquired this image on 18 May 2008, working in Full Resolution mode to yield a spatial resolution of 300 m

Allee de Von Karman - Von Karman vortices - Allee of Karman swirls in the clouds caused by the encounter between the wind and the mountain peak of Alejandro Selkirk Island (Juan Fernandez Archipelago) off Chile. False colour image obtained by Landsat 7 satellite on 15 September 1999. Each of these swirling clouds is the result of a meteorological phenomenon known as a von Karman vortex. These vortices appeared over Alexander Selkirk Island in the southern Pacific Ocean. Rising precipitously from the surrounding waters, the island's highest point is nearly a mile (1.6 km) above sea level. As wind - driven clouds encounter this obstacle, they flow around it to form large, spinning eddies. This false color image was acquired by Landsat 7 satellite on September 15, 1999

Dust Tempete on Dubai - 02/2009 - Dust storm on Dubai - 02/2009 - Dust Tempete on Dubai seen by Terra satellite on February 28, 2009. The coasts of the Emirates of Dubai with the three palm islands of Jebel and the World, an archipelago of 250 to 300 private islands, are hardly discernible. Heat and dust storms plagued the United Arab Emirates at the end of February 2009. Temperatures soared to 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit), the highest February temperatures since record keeping began in 1974. Pushed by winds gusting to 35 knots (65 kilometers per hour), dust storms reduced visibility throughout the region. Parallel plumes of dust blow off the coast of the United Arab Emirates and over the Persian Gulf in this image acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite on February 28, 2009. In this true - color image, the beige plumes of dust partially obscure the satellite's view of the ocean water. In some places, the dust appe

La France vue par satellite - 2009 - France seen from space - 2009 - La France sous la neige, seen on 7 January 2009 by the European satellite Envisat. This satellite image shows most of central and northern France covered by a white layer of snow, while regions closer to the Atlantic coast remain largely snow free. At the lower edge of the image the Pyrenees mountain range is visible surrounded by thick layers of clouds bringing further snowfall to the region. Towards the upper right Paris can just be seen under the cloud layer at the top edge of the image. The structures visible in the snow are due to different land - use patterns. While agricultural and grass covered areas remain snow - covered and largely white, the snow has fallen off trees in forested regions, which therefore appear darker.

COROT uses its telescope to monitor closely the changes in a star's brightness that comes from a planet crossing in front of it. While it is looking at a star, COROT is also able to detect 'starquakes', acoustical waves generated deep inside a star that send ripples across a star's surface, altering its brightness. The exact nature of the ripples allows astronomers to calculate the star's precise mass, age and chemical composition

Fracture in the Petermann Glacier, Greenland - Crack in the Petermann Glacier, Greenland - View of Petermann Glacier northwest of Greenland September 7, 2008. The glacier occupies an area of about 1300 km and occasionally releases large icebergs (at the top of the picture). This glacier already lost 87 km of its surface between 2000 and 2001. Between 10 and 24 July 2008, the glacier lost another 29 km. A huge breche with a fine fracture is visible at the bottom of the image; if it continues to expand, the glacier could see a third of its mass detach. Image obtained from the Terra satellite. Covering some 1,295 square kilometers (500 square miles) along the northwestern coast of Greenland, Petermann Glace's floating ice tongue is the Northern Hemisphere's largest, and it has occasionally calved large icebergs. Between 2000 and 2001, the glacier lost nearly 87 square kilometers (34 square miles). Between July 10 and July 24, 2008, the glacier lost another 29 square kilometers (11 square

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.
