Jet stream over Canada - Jet stream over Canada - Jet stream over Cape Breton Island, Canada, seen by Space Shuttle Discovery in May 1991. The Northern Hemisphere Jet Stream can be seen crossing Cape Breton Island in the Maritime Provinces of Eastern Canada. The Jet Stream is a narrow zone of high - speed winds typically found at altitudes of 4 to 8 miles (8 - 12 km) above the earth. They result from temperature contrasts between polar and tropical regions. The strongest Jet Stream winds are found in the winter when the contrast between polar and tropical regions is the greatest. Wind speeds can reach 90 to over 180 miles per hour (145 to over 290 km/h) from west to east. During the winter months over the United States and southern Canada, the path taken by the Jet Stream can have a large influence on the weather conditions of this region. Image taken from the space shuttle Discovery in May 1991

Spiral galaxy NGC 3949 in the Great Bear - Spiral galaxy NGC 3949 in Ursa Major - The spiral galaxy NGC 3949 is located about 50 million years away - light from Earth. This image was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in October 2001. Like our Milky Way, this galaxy has a blue disk of young stars peppered with bright pink star - birth regions. In contrast to the blue disk, the bright central bulge is made up of mostly older, redder stars. NGC 3949 lies about 50 million light - years from Earth. It is a member of a loose cluster of some six or seven dozens of galaxies located in the direction of the Big Dipper, in the constellation Ursa Major (the Great Bear). It is one of the larger galaxies of this cluster. This image was created from Hubble data taken with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 in October 2001. Separate exposures through blue, visible, and near - infrared filters have been combined to make the natural color picture

Dione, satellite of Saturn, seen by Cassini - Dione, moon of Saturn, as seen by Cassini - Mosaic of images obtained by the Cassini probe on 11 October 2005 at a distance of about 25,000 km from the satellite. As it departed its encounter with Saturn's moon Dione, Cassini sailed above an unreal landscape blasted by impacts. The rising Sun throws craters into sharp contrast and reveals steep crater walls. At the far right, a medium - sized crater is bisected by a fracture, revealing a cross section of the impact site. The seven clear - filter images in this mosaic were taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow - angle camera on Oct. 11, 2005, at distances ranging from 21.650 to 25.580 kilometers (13,450 to 15,890 miles) from Dione and at a Sun - Dione - spacecraft, or phase, angle of 154 degrees. Resolution in the original images ranges from 126 to 154 meters (413 to 505 feet) per pixel. The images have been re - sized to have an image scale of about 100 meters (330 feet) per pixel. North

The seven clear - filter images in this mosaic were taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow - angle camera on Oct. 11, 2005, at distances ranging from 21.650 to 25.580 kilometers (13,450 to 15,890 miles) from Dione and at a Sun - Dione - spacecraft, or phase, angle of 154 degrees. Resolution in the original images ranges from 126 to 154 meters (413 to 505 feet) per pixel. The images have been re - sized to have an image scale of about 100 meters (330 feet) per pixel. North

These nebulae are located 1500 years of light from Earth. Image obtained from the 1.2m Schmidt telescope of Siding Spring. This wide - angle picture of the Orion region has been made to reveal the extensive network of very faint filaments which are traceable over most of the constellation. These faint features are optical evidence of a substantial dark cloud of molecular gas and dust which dominate at radio wavelengths. Where hot stars are closely associated with the molecular cloud, a bright nebula appears. By far the most conspicuous of these is the Orion Nebula, M42. This spectacular object is so bright that its light is reflected from filaments of the dark cloud some distance away. In contrast, the wisps of the Horsehead Nebula are much fainter but even here faint tendrils of nebulosity show

Interacting galaxies Arp 297 - Interacting galaxies Arp 297 - Arp 297 is located about 200 million light years away from Earth in the constellation Bovier. This pair of interacting galaxies consists of a large spiral galaxy, NGC 5754, and a small spiral galaxy, NGC 5752, at the bottom of the image. This interaction causes intense star flames within the small galaxy. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on March 14, 1999. This beautiful pair of interacting galaxies consists of NGC 5754, the large spiral on the right, and NGC 5752, the smaller companion in the bottom left corner of the image. NGC 5754's internal structure has hardly been disturbed by the interaction. The outer structure does exhibit tidal features, as does the symmetry of the inner spiral pattern and the kinked arms just beyond its inner ring. In contrast, NGC 5752 has undergone a starburst episode, with a rich population of massive and luminous star clusters clumping around the core and intertwined with intricat

Neptune - Voyager 2 - Image of Neptune obtained by the Voyager 2 probe on August 14, 1989 at 14.8 million km from the planet. Neptune has an equatorial diameter of about 49,000 kilometres. Its blue color is due to the abundance of methane in its atmosphere. On this photo, on the right, the Great Dark Spot, which is the size of the Earth where winds are blowing at 300 m/s. This spot has now disappeared but other dark spots have been detected since then. This contrast enhanced color photograph of Neptune was produced from images taken through the orange, green, and violet filters of the narrow angle camera. As Voyager 2 approaches Neptune, rapidly increasing image resolution is revealing striking new details in the planet's atmosphere, and this picture shows features as small as a few hundred kilometers in extent.

Many star formations are observed here. The cluster of stars NGC 6939, on the right, belongs to our galaxy. Spiral Galaxy NGC 6946 and Open Cluster NGC 6939 are located about 2 degrees southwest of Eta Cepheus. 6946 is a 9.7 magnitude spiral galaxy that was discovered by William Herschel on September 9, 1798 and is about 10 arc minutes in diameter. It is a relatively close galaxy at a distance of about 10 million light years, and was once suspected by Edwin Hubble of being a member of the Local Group of galaxies that includes the Milky Way, but today it is not believed to be a member. Because we are looking at it through the plane of our own galaxy, it is highly obscured by dust. NGC 6946 is sometimes called the Fireworks galaxy because of the number of supernovae that have been discovered there and the galaxy

Galaxies can be separated by their appearance into two broad groups, spirals and ellipticals. An example of a spiral galaxy, NGC 1365, is seen in center of this picture. In contrast, most of the galaxies in this cluster are ellipticals, which contain little or no gas or evidence of star formation; indeed they are composed millions of rather old, yellowish stars. Unlike many of the stars in spiral systems, those in ellipticals have orbits which are not confined to a narrow plane, so the galaxy can have a shape anywhere between a perfect sphere and an American football.

Saturn and Mimas seen by the Cassini probe 18/01/2005 - Saturn and Mimas seen by Cassini spacecraft Jan. 18 2005 - The Mimas satellite photographed in front of Saturn by the Cassini probe on 18 January 2005 at a distance of 1.4 million km from the planet. The shadow of Saturn's rings is projected on the planet. Mimas drifts along in its orbit against the azure backdrop of Saturn's northern latitudes in this true color view. The long, dark lines on the atmosphere are shadows cast by the planet's rings. Saturn's northern hemisphere is presently relatively cloud - free, and rays of sunlight take a long path through the atmosphere. This results in sunlight being scattered at shorter (bluer) wavelengths, thus giving the northernmost latitudes their bluish appearance at visible wavelengths. At the bottom, craters on icy Mimas (398 kilometers, or 247 miles across) give the moon a dimpled appearance.

Infrared view of the Andromeda galaxy - The Spitzer space telescope observed the Andromede spiral galaxy for over 18 hours on August 25, 2004, obtaining 11,000 different poses. Assembled in mosaic the result shows details never seen before. The brightest ring appears to be hole at the bottom right of the image; these are traces of the passage of a satellite galaxy. Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope has captured stunning infrared views of the famous Andromeda galaxy to reveal insights that were only hinted at in visible light. Spitzer's 24 - micron mosaic is the sharpest image ever taken of the dust in another spiral galaxy. This is possible because Andromeda is a close neighbor to the Milky Way at a mere 2.5 million light - years away. The Spitzer multiband imaging photometer's 24 - micron detector recorded 11,000 separate snapshots to create this new comprehensive picture. Asymmetrical features are seen in the prominent ring of star formation. The ring appears to be split into two pieces

Infrared view of the Andromeda galaxy - Infrared view of the Andromeda galaxy - This image shows the difference in infrared radiation between the light emitted by the aged stars (blue) and that emitted by the dust (star-forming zone, red). By measuring the infrared radiation emitted by a galaxy, more or less important depending on the nature of the stars, the mass of that galaxy can be reduced. According to this method, the mass of stars in the Andromede galaxy would be 110 billion times that of the Sun, which means that this galaxy would have 1 trillion stars (our galaxy had 400 billion). In this image we distinguish the two satellite galaxies of Andromede, M32 at the bottom and NGC 205 (M110) at the top.
