International Space Station Passage - International Space Station Passage, September 1, 2005. 54 seconds pose. The International Space Station (ISS) leaves a trail in this time exposure as it passes through the constellations of the northern sky on September 1, 2005 at 8:42 pm edt. The ISS is visible as a streak of light in this photo because it moved during the 54 - second exposure. Sometimes the ISS can be seen after sunset and before sunrise as a bright point of light because of sunshine reflecting off of it. Even though night has fallen on the ground, the direct Sun still shines on it for a while longer as it is high above an average orbital altitude of about 320 kilometers or 200 miles. Because of its speed as it orbits the Earth, it moves against the starry background for observers on the ground and leaves a trail in long time exposures on a fixed tripod

Fusee Ariane 5G +. 02/2004 - Ariane 5G +, stands on its launch pad 02/2004 - Fusee Ariane 5G+on its shooting pitch. Flight 158, launch of the Rosetta probe - 24/02/2004. Surrounded by four 100 - m - tall lightning towers (only two are visible here), the first Ariane 5G +, atop its mobile launch platform, stands on its pad at the Launch Zone (ZL - 3) of the Ariane Launch Complex no.3 (ELA - 3) at the Guiana Space Centre, Europe's space port, shortly after its transfer from the Final Assembly Building (BAF), on February 24, 2004. After several delays caused by high altitude winds, the launcher lifted off on March 2. On this flight (V158), the payload was Essa's Rosetta cometary probe, which was successfully released on an escape trajectory

Condensation trains over Brittany - Airplane contrails over Brittany, France - A multitude of condensation trains caused by air traffic appear on this image obtained by the Terra satellite on 25 April 2004. This true - color Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image, acquired on April 25, 2004 by the Terra satellite, shows a web of contrails over northwestern Europe. These contrails are straight lines of ice crystals that form in the wake of jet liners where air temperatures at altitude are lower than about 40* C. Newer contrails are thin whereas older trails have widened with time as a result of light winds. The problem with contrails is that they can spread into extensive high, thin cirrus clouds, which tend to warm the Earth because they reflect less sunlight back to space than the amount of heat they trap

Earth's atmosphere and noctiluque clouds - Earth's atmosphere and noctilucent clouds - View of the Earth's atmosphere with night clouds photographs from the International Space Station on July 22, 2008. These clouds look like cirrus but are much higher, between 75 and 90 km from the Earth's surface. Polar Mesospheric Clouds (also known as noctilucent clouds) are transient, upper atmospheric phenomena observed usually in the summer months at high latitudes (greater than 50 degrees) of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. They are bright and cloudlike in appearance while in deep twilight. They are illuminated by sunlight when the lower layers of the atmosphere are in the darkness of the Earth's shadow.

Coronation Review. Since its Maiden flight last Christmas Eve it has been carrying out an exhaustive test-flying programme and was airborne no less than six times in one day recently. The Victor was ordered in quantity from the drawing-board and is now in super-priority production for R.A.F. Bomber Command. Its revolutionary crescent wing enables it to cruise at high altitude with near-sonic speed. It flies so fast that it is protected by the sound-barrier; conditions near the speed of sound render attacking fighters ineffective. The Victor is the outstanding example of the modern concept of a bomber as a rapier - an atomically hard-hitting and accurate weapon able to paralyse an enemy's nerve-centres and yet, by outstanding performance, avoid intercepti

This is how Neptune's Great Dark Spot and rings may have looked in 1989 from a position just beneath Neptune's ring plane. The outermost Adams ring is near the top of the frame, and beneath that is the much broader and diffuse Lassell ring. Further in toward Neptune and abutting the Lassell ring is the thin Le Verrier ring, and beyond that is the diffuse Galle ring. The Great Dark Spot is believed to be a storm similar to, but only half the size of, Jupiter's Great Red Spot. While Jupiter's Great Red Spot has been raging for at least 400 years, subsequent observations of Neptune's Great Dark Spot in 1994 by the Hubble Space Telescope revealed that this storm has since disappeared. The Great Dark Spot was a very dynamic weather system, generating massive, white clouds similar to high - altitude cirrus clouds on Ear

Saturn in false colours - Saturn in infrared - The planet Saturn seen in visible and infrared by the Cassini probe on November 1, 2008. This false - color composite image, constructed from data obtained by Nasa's Cassini spacecraft, shows Saturn's rings and southern hemisphere. The composite image was made from 65 individual observations by Cassini's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer in the near - infrared portion of the light spectrum on Nov. 1, 2008. The observations were each six minutes long. In this image constructed from data collected in the near - infrared wavelengths of light, scientists designated blue to indicate sunlight reflected at a wavelength of 2 microns, green to indicate sunlight reflected at 3 microns and red to indicate thermal emission at 5 microns. Saturn's rings reflect sunlight at 2 microns, but not at 3 and 5 microns, so they appear deep blue. Saturn's high altitude haze reflects sunlight at both 2 and 3 microns, but not at 5 microns, and so it appears

Andes, Chile - Bolivia - Volcano Licancabur/ASTER - The high - altitude, volcanic, arid terrain at the border of Bolivia and Chile has been described as the best Earth - based analog for conditions on Mars billions of years ago - - a time when scientists think it's possible that the surface of Mars harbored icy lakes and rivers. A team of scientists led by Nathalie Cabrol of NASA Ames Research Center believes the similarities are so compelling that in late October 2003, they arrived at the Licancabur Volcano to explore what life is able to exist in such an extreme environment - - as well as to test diving and other high - tech equipment like bodysuits that one day might be used to monitor the physiology (breathing rates, heartbeat, etc) of Mars explorers. Among the most interesting sites are the lakes - - the one in the caldera of the volcano itself and the one at the base of the volcano.

Southern Aurora on the Planet Saturn - Aurora on Saturn - The Planet Saturn accompanied by a Southern Aurora, seen in visible and infrared by the Cassini probe on November 1, 2008. This false - color composite image, constructed from data obtained by Nasa's Cassini spacecraft, shows the glow of auroras streaking out about 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) from the cloud tops of Saturn's south polar region. In this image constructed from data collected in the near - infrared wavelengths of light, the auroral emission is shown in green. Scientists designated blue to indicate sunlight reflected at wavelengths from 2 to 3 microns, green to indicate light from hydrogen ions at wavelengths between 3 and 4 microns and red to indicate thermal emission at 5 microns. Saturn's rings and high altitude haze only reflect sunlight at 3 microns or less, so they appear deep blue. The glow from the aurora can only be seen at the wavelengths in the green channel.
