Apollo 11: Decollage of Saturn V - Apollo 11 launch July 16 1969 - Decollage of the Saturn V/Apollo 11 rocket. 16/07/1969. The huge, 363 - feet tall Apollo 11 (Spacecraft 107/Lunar Module 5/Saturn 506) space vehicle is launched from Pad A, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center (KSC), at 9:32 a.m. (EDT), July 16, 1969. Aboard the Apollo 11 spacecraft were astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, command module pilot; and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot.

The aurora has a sinuous ribbon shape that separates into discrete spots near the lower right corner of the image. While the dominant coloration of the aurora is green, there are faint suggestions of red photon emission as well (light fuscia tones at image center left). Dense cloud cover is dimly visible below the aurora.

Image taken from the International Space Station (ISS) on June 27, 2016. One of the largest open-pit copper mines in the world, the Cananea mine produced over 164,000 tonnes of copper in 2006. The mine is located approximately 40 km south of the border between the USA (Arizona) and Mexico (Sonora). Copper and gold ores at Cananea are found in a porphyry copper deposit, a geological structure formed by crystal-rich magma moving upwards through pre-existing rock layers. The mine workings at Cananea are significant in the recent history of Mexico, as poor working conditions there in 1906 led to a mineral's strike that resulted in 19 deaths. This event is generally considered to a major catalyst of the Mexican Revolution of 1910, as well as the beginning of Mexico's labor movement. Current environmental and economic cond

The Space Shuttle Discovery and its seven - member STS - 124 crew head towards Earth - orbit and a scheduled link - up with the International Space Station (ISS). Liftoff from Kennedy Space Center's launch pad 39A occurred on May 31, 2008 at 5:02 p.m. (EDT). The STS - 124 mission is the 26th in the assembly of the International Space Station. It is the second of three flights launching components to complete Jaxa's Kibo laboratory. During the mission, the shuttle crew will install Kibo's large Japanese Pressurized Module and its remote manipulator system. Onboard are astronauts Mark Kelly, commander; Ken Ham, pilot; Karen Nyberg, Mike Fossum, Ron Garan, Greg Chamitoff and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Akihiko Hoshide, all mission specialists.

In 1999, for celebrations marking the arrival of the year 2000, the island of Carolina was officially renamed the island of the Millennium, being one of the points on earth closest to the date change line. This island, whose highest point is about 6 metres, is particularly threatened by rising sea levels. Image obtained on 1 July 2009 from the International Space Station (ISS). Millennium Island is located at the southern end of the Line Islands in the South Pacific Ocean. This uninhabited island is part of the Republic of Kiribati. At a maximum height of approximately 6 meters (19.7 feet) above sea level, Millennium Island has been identified as being at great risk from sea level rise by the United Nations.

Tyndall Glacier, Chile - Tyndall Glacier, Chile - The Tyndall Glacier in Torres del Paine National Park in Chile, observed from the International Space Station in November 2007. Tyndall Glacier is located in the Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. This glacier, which has a total area of 331 square kilometers and a length of 32 kilometers (based on 1996 measurements), begins in the Patagonian Andes Mountains to the west and terminates in Lago Geikie. The digital astronaut photograph taken in november 2007 records visible light in red, green, and blue wavelengths (true color). The Tyndall Glacier terminus has retreated significantly during the past 17 years.

Tyndall Glacier, Chile - Tyndall Glacier, Chile - The Tyndall Glacier in Torres del Paine National Park in Chile, observed from the International Space Station in November 2007. Tyndall Glacier is located in the Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. This glacier, which has a total area of 331 square kilometers and a length of 32 kilometers (based on 1996 measurements), begins in the Patagonian Andes Mountains to the west and terminates in Lago Geikie. The digital astronaut photograph taken in november 2007 records visible light in red, green, and blue wavelengths (true color). The Tyndall Glacier terminus has retreated significantly during the past 17 years.

Cananea Copper Mine - Mexico - Cananea Copper Mine - Sonora - Mexico: The Cananea Mine is an open pit copper and gold mine located in Mexico. Its production began in 1899. Image taken from the International Space Station (ISS) on March 3, 2008. One of the largest open-pit copper mines in the world, the Cananea mine produced over 164,000 tonnes of copper in 2006. The mine is located approximately 40 km south of the border between the USA (Arizona) and Mexico (Sonora). Copper and gold ores at Cananea are found in a porphyry copper deposit, a geological structure formed by crystal-rich magma moving upwards through pre-existing rock layers. A porphyry - an igneous rock with large crystals in a fine-grained matrix - is formed as the magma cools and crystallizes. While crystallization is occurring, hot fluids can circulate through the magma and surrounding rocks via fractures. This hydrothermal alteration of the rocks typically forms copper-bearing and other minerals. The active, 2 km in dia

Saudi Arabia's coral reefs - Al Wadj Bank, Saudi Arabia - Approximately 260 coral species have been recorded in Al Wadj Bank coral reefs in Saudi Arabia. Image obtained from the International Space Station (ISS) in December 2007. Saudi Arabia boasts the most coral reefs of any Middle Eastern country, as it includes coastline along both the Red Sea and the Gulf of Arabia. This high - resolution astronaut photograph shows part of the Al Wadj Bank, located along the northern Red Sea coast. Despite the relatively high salinity of Red Sea water, approximately 260 species of coral have been documented in the region. Large tracts of the Saudi Arabian coastline are undeveloped, and reefs in these areas are in generally good ecological health. However, reefs located near large urban centers such as Jeddeh have suffered degradation due to land reclamation (dredging and filling), pollution, and increased sediment runoff from land. The Al Wadj Bank (a bank is an underwater hill) includes a healthy
