Mercury seen by the Messenger probe - Mercury seen by Messenger spacecraft - Image of Mercury, obtained by the Messenger probe on October 6, 2008. The bright crater in the middle of the picture down is the Kuiper crater. The large striations north and east of the crater are observed for the first time by a space probe. Recolorised image. The spectacular image shows the departing planet taken about 90 minutes after the spacecraft's closest approach to Mercury on October 6, 2008. The bright crater just south of the center of the image is Kuiper, identified on images from the Mariner 10 mission in the 1970s. For most of the terrain east of Kuiper, toward the limb (edge) of the planet, the departing images are the first spacecraft views of that portion of Mercury's surface. A striking characteristic of this newly imaged area is the large pattern of rays that extend from the northern region of Mercury to regions south of Kuiper. This extensive ray system appears to emanate from a relatively

Nebula NGC 2170 in Unicorn - Nebula NGC 2170 in Monoceros - Nebula by reflexion located in the constellation Unicorn. This rich collection of predominantly reflection and sparse emission nebulosity exists in the western part of a vast star forming region known as the Mon R 2 association. The “” R”” designation stands for reflection and indicates an association of stars illuminating reflection nebulae. Most of the members of Mon R 2 are type B stars located along an east - west line stretching across 2 degrees of the winter sky, situated about 8 degrees east of the Orion Nebula. The Mon R 2 association resides at a distance of 830 pc and formed about 6 to 10 million years ago along the edge of the Mon R2 molecular cloud. NGC2170 is a common nebula imaged and yet with long exposures it takes on a whole new look. Many of the nebulae seen here appear to be uncataloged and not previously imaged. This image has been carefully processed to reveal the many faint and dusty nebulae in this regio

Nuclei of the 5 cometes visited by probes - 5 Comets nucleus seen by spacecrafts - Comparison of the size of the nuclei of the five comets visited by space probes. This montage shows the only five comets imaged up close with spacecraft. The comets vary in shape and size. Comet Hartley 2 is by far the smallest and the most active of small comets. This jet activity can be seen extending from the comet's surface and into its outer shell of gas and dust, or coma. This is first time scientists have been able to link jets to the details of the surface

March -View of the south pole - Mars South Pole: Image of the southern polar cap of Mars obtained by the Mars Express probe on December 17, 2012. The bright white region of this image shows the icy cap that covers Mars' south pole, composed of frozen water and carbon dioxide. The southern cap reaches some 3 km thick in places, and is around 350 km in diameter. This icy region is permanent; in the martian winter another, thinner ice cap forms over the top of it, stretching further out across the planet and disappearing again when the weather warms up. Mars Express imaged this area of March on 17 December 2012, in infrared, green and blue light, using its High Resolution Stereo Camera.

Planetary nebula IC 4406 dans le Loup/HST - One of the most interesting features of IC 4406, the “” Retina Nebula””, is the irregular lattice of dark lanes that criss - cross the center of the nebula. These lanes are about 160 astronomical units wide (1 astronomical unit is the distance between the Earth and Sun). They are located right at the boundary between the hot glowing gas that produces the visual light imaged here and the neutral gas seen with radio telescopes. We see the lanes in silhouette because they have a density of dust and gas that is a thousand times higher than the rest of the nebula. The dust lanes are like a rather open mesh veil that has been wrapped around the bright donut. This image is a composite of data taken by Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 in June 200

Nebulae M20, M8 and NGC 6559 in Sagittarius - M8, M20 and the NGC 6559 nebulae - View of nebulae of the Lagoon (M8/NGC 6523), bottom, Trifide (M20), top, and NGC 6559 (left). Located in Sagittarius, these nebulae are about 5000 light years away from Earth. This image shows the great diversity of celestial objects in the region of M8. These include the emission nebulae M8, M20, IC4685 and IC1274. Reflection nebulae are also seen in M20, IC1274 - 5, vDb 115, IC 4678. M21 open cluster is also seen. Many of the nebulae seen here are not often imaged do to their low surface brightness. Of note is the bluish halo surrounding and encompassing M8 itself. This appears to not be cataloged. It may be just a portion of M8 itself that is usually not seen. Purposefully the background is bright so to see this nebula

March: chaotic terrain between Kasei Valles and Sacra Fossae - Mars: Chaotic terrain between Kasei Valles and Sacra Fossae - Region bordering Kasei Valles and Sacra Fossae. The large impact crater is 35 km in diameter. The image covering an area of 225 km by 95 km was obtained by the Mars Express probe. Mars Express flew over the boundary between Kasei Valles and Sacra Fossae and imaged the region, acquiring spectacular views of the chaotic terrain in the area. The images are centred at 12* N/285* E and have a ground resolution of about 21 m/pixel. They cover 225 x 95 km or 21.375 sq km, an area roughly half the size of the Netherlands. The image shows an old 35 km - diameter impact crater in the north. The crater's southwestern rim is eroded strongly, mostly by flowing water. The source of the water was located in Echo Chasma, which lies about 850 km to the southwest

Mars - View of the south pole - Mars South pole - Image of part of the southern polar cap of Mars obtained by the Mars Express probe on December 17, 2012. The bright white region of this image shows the icy cap that covers Mars' south pole, composed of frozen water and carbon dioxide. While it looks smooth in this image, at close quarters the cap is a layered mix of peaks, troughs and flat plains, and has been likened in appearance to swiss cheese. The southern cap reaches some 3 km thick in places, and is around 350 km in diameter. This icy region is permanent; in the martian winter another, thinner ice cap forms over the top of it, stretching further out across the planet and disappearing again when the weather warms up. The cap is around 150 km north of Mars' geographical south pole and Mars Express has shed light on why this ice cap is displaced.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has imaged a striking galaxy called NGC 4452, which appears to lie exactly edge - on as seen from Earth. The bright nucleus can be seen at the centre, along with the very thin disc that looks like a straight line from our unusual viewing position. To complete the picture, a hazy halo of stars on the periphery of the galaxy makes it seem to glow. NGC 4452 was first seen by William Herschel in 1784 with his 47 cm telescope in England. He described the object as a bright nebula, small and very much elongated. The new Hubble image shows just how elongated this unusual object really is. NGC 4452 is part of the Virgo Cluster, so - called because many

Tethys, Saturn satellite, seen by the Cassini probe - Saturn's moon Tethys seen by Cassini spacecraft - The southern pole of the Tethys satellite photographed by the Cassini probe on September 24, 2005. Mosaic of nine images. With this full - disk mosaic, Cassini presents the best view yet of the south pole of Saturn's moon Tethys. The giant rift Ithaca Chasma cuts across the disk. Much of the topography seen here, including that of Ithaca Chasma, has a soft, muted appearance. It is clearly very old and has been heavily bombarded by impacts over time. Many of the fresh - appearing craters (ones with crisp relief) exhibit unusually bright crater floors. The origin of the apparent brightness (or “” albedo”) contrast is not known. It is possible that impacts punched through to a brighter layer underneath, or perhaps it is brighter because of different grain sizes or textures of the crater floor material in comparison to material along the crater walls and surrounding surface.

The galactic center seen by Spitzer Space Telescope - The galactic center region seen by Spitzer satellite. The area photographed extends over 890 light-years and over 640 light-years high. In visible light, this area is hidden by a large amount of interstellar dust. This picture in false colors shows the old and cold stars in blue, and the red regions the hot and massive stars. Dark and bright filamentous clouds are star-forming regions. The brightest area in the center of the image is the center of our galaxy which houses a supermassive black hole. This infrared image from Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope shows hundreds of thousands of stars crowded into the swirling core of our spiral Milky Way galaxy. In visible-light pictures, this region cannot be seen at all because dust lying between Earth and the galactic center blocks our view. In this false-color picture, old and cool stars are blue, while dust features lit up by blazing hot, massive stars are shown in a reddish hue. Both brig

Crab Pulsar in Nebula M1 - The Crab pulsar: This false-colored image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope shows the central region of the Crab Nebula or resides its pulsar. The pulsar is visible in the center of the image. It is a very dense neutron star from the explosion of a massive supernova star. This star quickly rotates on itself developing a powerful magnetic field, emitting beams of light and radio waves. M1 is located about 6000 light-years in the constellation Taurus.. In 1054 AD, during the Song dynasty, Chinese astronomers spotted a bright new star in the night sky. This newcomer turned out to be a violent explosion within the Milky Way, caused by the spectacular death of a star some 1600 light-years away. This explosion created one of the most well-studied and beautiful objects in the night sky - the Crab Nebula. The beautiful result of this cataclysmic Type II supernova is shown here, imaged by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys. Unlike m

Djorgovski globular cluster 1 in Scorpio - Globular cluster Djorgovski 1 in Scorpius - The Djorgovski globular cluster 1 is a cluster of light stars located near the galactic center, 40,000 years - light from Earth. Its discovery is recent (1987) and studies show that its stars are composed only of hydrogene and helium. The absence of heavier elements that are usually present in stars remains an enigma. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has imaged an area so jam - packed with stars that they almost overwhelm the inky blackness of space. This includes the globular star cluster Djorgovski 1, which was only discovered in 1987 Djorgovski 1 is located close to the centre of our Milky Way Galaxy, within the bulge. If the galaxy is thought of as being like a city, then this bulge is the very busiest district at its centre. Djorgovski 1's proximity to this hub - - within just a few degrees - - explains why the picture is teeming with stars.

Planetary nebula M57 (NGC 6720) in Lyra - The Ring nebula M57 in Lyra - The planetary nebula of Lyra (M57) is located about 2000 years - light from Earth. A planetary nebula is a gas shell from a small late-life star whose heart collapsed to become a white dwarf and expelled the outer layers of its matter. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope and the Large Binocular Telescope. In this composite image, visible - light observations by Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope are combined with infrared data from the ground - based Large Binocular Telescope in Arizona to assemble a dramatic view of the well - known Ring Nebula. Called a planetary nebula, the Ring Nebula is the glowing remains of a Sun - like star. The object is tilted towards Earth so that astronomers see the ring face - on. The Hubble observations reveal that the nebula's shape is more complicated than astronomers thought. The blue gas in the nebula's center is actually a football - shaped structure that pierces the red doug

The Hubble Space Telescope's Near Infrared Camera and Multi - Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) has captured a glimpse of a brief stage in the burnout of NGC 7027, a medium - mass star like our sun. THE INFRARED VIEW - - The composite color image of NGC 7027 (on the left) is among the first data of a planetary nebula taken with NICMOS. This picture is actually composed of three separate images taken at different wavelengths. The red color represents cool molecular hydrogen gas, the most abundant gas in the universe. The image reveals the central star, which is difficult to see in images taken with visible light. Surrounding it is an elongated region of gas and dust cast off by the star. This gas (appearing as white) has a temperature of several tens of thousands of degrees Fahrenheit. The object has two “” cones”” of cool molecular hydrogen gas (the red material) glowing in the infrared. The gas has been energized by ultraviolet light from the star - a process known as fluorescence. Most of

Spiral Galaxy M66 in the Lion - Spiral galaxy M66 in Leo - M66 (NGC 3627) is a spiral galaxy located at a distance of about 35 million years - light. M66, with its neighbors M65 and NGC 3628, forms a remarkable triplet of galaxies, called the Lion Triplet or the M66 Group. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. The unusual spiral galaxy, Messier 66, is located at a distance of about 35 million light - years in the constellation of Leo. Together with Messier 65 and NGC 3628, Messier 66 is one third of the Leo Triplet, a trio of interacting spiral galaxies, part of the larger Messier 66 group. Messier 66 wins out in size over its fellow triplets - - it is about 100 000 light - years across. Messier 66 is the proud owner of exclusive asymmetric spiral arms which seem to climb above the galaxy's main disc and an apparently displaced nucleus. This asymmetry is unusual; most often, dense waves of gas, dust and newly born stars wind about the galaxy's centre in a symmetric way. Astrono
