Space Telescope Spitzer - Artist view - The Spitzer space telescope. Artwork - The Spitzer space telescope observes the universe in infrared; it was launched and put into orbit in August 2003. The cloud complexes around Orion and the disk of the Milky Way are seen behind the observatory. The Spitzer Space Telescope (formerly SIRTF, the Space Infrared Telescope Facility) was launched into space by a Delta rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida on 25 August 2003. During its mission, Spitzer will obtain images and spectra by detecting the infrared energy, or heat, radiated by objects in space between wavelengths of 3 and 180 microns (1 micron is one - millionth of a meter). Most of this infrared radiation is blocked by the Earth's atmosphere and cannot be observed from the ground

Dunes near the north pole on Mars - Dunes at North Polar Cap on Mars: Image obtained on March 26, 2014 by the HIRISE camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance orbiter probe. HIRISE is a 50 cm telescope that observes visible and near infrared. Formative down-slope winds descending on Mars' North Polar ice cap likely play an important role in transporting sediment from the base of the ice cap into the dune fields that sit beyond the ice cap. The deep chasm that formed on the polar cap edge is identified as an area of strong down-slope winds and has a clear connection to Mars' largest dune field, Olympia Undae. Repeat HiRise images from this chasm that specifically targets the dunes, provides the basis to evaluate the sand fluxes which are associated with the dune and ripple movement in this area

The deep chasm that formed on the polar cap edge is identified as an area of strong down-slope winds and has a clear connection to Mars' largest dune field, Olympia Undae. Repeat HiRise images from this chasm that specifically targets the dunes, provides the basis to evaluate the sand fluxes which are associated with the dune and ripple movement in this area

Glacier Viedma, Argentina - Viedma Glacier in Argentina - The Viedma Glacier in Argentina, observed from the International Space Station on January 10, 2004. This detailed view was taken with an 800 mm lens from the International Space Station on 10 January, 2004. The image shows the lower end of the Viedma Glacier that flows into Lake Viedma, one of three major glacially formed lakes on the Patagonian side of the southern Andean ice sheet, at 50 degrees South. The image reveals the slender dark lines of rock material (moraine) which is carried in the slowly flowing ice. Lighter lines at right angles are patterns of crevasse. The glacier diverges into two lakes where calved icebergs can be seen floating in the lakes. The glacier here is about 1.8 km wide

Laminate structures near the north pole on Mars - Layers Exposed at North Polar Cap on Mars: Laminated structures near the north polar cap of Mars. These different layers of ice and girders correspond to climatic variations over the last ten thousand years. Image obtained on 18 April 2016 by the HIRISE camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance orbiter probe. HIRISE is a 50 cm telescope that observes visible and near infrared. At the edge of Mars' permanent North Polar cap, we see an exposure of the internal layers, each with a different mix of water ice, dust and dirt. These layers are believed to correspond to different climate conditions over the past tens of thousands of years. When we zoom in closer, we see that the distinct layers erode differently. Some are stronger and more resistant to erosion, others only weakly cemented. The strong layers form ledges

Total Eclipse of Moon 27 - 09 - 1996 - Total lunar eclipse September 27, 1996 - This montage illustrates the progression of the Moon in Earth's shadow cone. The image on the right corresponds to its complete entry into the shadow (beginning of the totalite), the central at the maximum of the totalite and the one on the left at the end of the totalite. During this eclipse, the southern pole of the Moon is passing a little above the center of the Earth's shadow cone. Thus, the southern pole of the Moon is the darkest, while the north pole is brighter. Note the color degrade for the right and left poses: from dark red towards the center of the shadow cone to white on the periphery of this cone, with an intermediate greenish orange degrade. This highlights the fact that blue is more diffuse than green by the Earth's atmosphere - hence the absence of blue on the image, because this color is lost in the Earth's atmosphere and therefore does not reach the surface of the Moon - and that green

Grey Glacier, Chile - The Grey Glacier in the Torres del Paine National Park in Chile, observed from the International Space Station in June 2007. The Southern Patagonian Icefield of Chile and Argentina hosts several spectacular glaciers - including Grey Glacier located in the Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. This glacier, which in 1996 had a measured total area of 270 square kilometers and a length of 28 kilometers (104 square miles in area, 17 miles long), begins in the Patagonian Andes Mountains to the west and terminates in three distinct lobes into Grey Lake. The image is a photograph taken by an astronaut aboard the International Space Station in june 2007, and it captures a striking blue coloration of the glacier. The coloring is due to the ice's absorption of red wavelengths of light and scattering of blue wavelengths of light as it is transmitted through the ice

This dry ice accumulates on the surface mainly in winter, the temperature of this area can sometimes drop to 130 degrees Celsius below zero. Image obtained on August 29, 2016 by the HIRISE camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance orbiter probe. HIRISE is a 50 cm telescope that observes visible and near infrared. The polar cap is made from carbon dioxide (dry ice), which does not occur naturally on the Earth. The circular pits are holes in this dry ice layer that expand by a few meters each Martian year. New dry ice is constantly being added to this landscape by freezing directly out of the carbon dioxide atmosphere or falling as snow. Freezing out the atmosphere like this limits how cold the surface can get to the frost point at -130 degrees Celsius (-200 F). Nowhere on Mars can ever get any colder this, making this coolest landscape on Earth and Mars

The light of the Sun is reflected in the water drops of the mist, but unlike raindrops, the mist droplets are much smaller: about a millimetre for the rain versus a few centiemes for the mist. As a result, the diffraction in the mist droplets is preponderant, which results in colour refracting at random angles, between 30 and 45* around the anti-sun point (opposite the Sun). Thus, all colours blend and one sees a white arch of light, sometimes slightly bluish on the inside and red on the outside, wider than a rainbow. Fogbow seen in Brittany on May 5, 2006.

The light of the Sun is reflected in the water drops of the mist, but unlike raindrops, the mist droplets are much smaller: about a millimetre for the rain versus a few centiemes for the mist. As a result, the diffraction in the mist droplets is preponderant, which results in colour refracting at random angles, between 30 and 45* around the anti-sun point (opposite the Sun). Thus, all colours blend and one sees a white arch of light, sometimes slightly bluish on the inside and red on the outside, wider than a rainbow. Fogbow seen in Brittany on May 5, 2006.

Richat structure - Mauritania - satellite view - Richat structure, Mauritania, seen by satellite - Richat structure is a geological formation of volcanic origin in Mauritania. This “eye” measures 50 km in diameter. This image is a combination of an image obtained by the Landsat satellite in 1987 and a radar image obtained from the Space Shuttle (SRTM) in 2000. The relief is exaggerated by about 6 times. The picture covers an area of 68 km by 112 km. This prominent circular feature, known as the Richat Structure, in the Sahara desert of Mauritania is often noted by astronauts because it forms a conspicuous 50 - kilometer - wide (30 - mile - wide) bull's - eye on the otherwise rather featureless expanse of the desert. Initially mistaken for a possible impact crater, it is now known to be an eroded circular anticline (structural dome) of layered sedimentary rocks.

Parana River, Argentina - Parana River in Argentina - The Parana River seen in Argentina near the city of Goya, observes from the International Space Station on April 9, 2011. The Parana River is South America's second largest, and the river and its tributaries are important transportation routes for landlocked cities in Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Brazil. This astronaut photograph shows a 29 - kilometer (18 mile) stretch of the Parana, downstream of the small city of Goya, Argentina (just off the top left of the image). The Parana River ranges up to 3 kilometers wide along the reach illustrated in this image. The Parana floodplain occupies the entire image; it is so wide - - 18 kilometers (11 miles) in this view - - that its banks are not visible. Numerous curved, meandering channels are the most prominent characteristic of the floodplain, indicating prior positions of the river and its channels.

Martian dunes in summer - Mars: Summer view of Dunes: Detail on dunes near the northern polar cap of Mars in summer. Image obtained by the HIRISE camera of the Mars Reconnaissance probe orbiter on 1 September 2008. HIRISE is a 50 cm telescope that observes visible and near infrared. This dune field formed near the base of the North Polar cap. Dunes require a source of loose particulate material to form. The source of the northern dune fields around the polar cap may be from the layers of dusty ice that are eroded by strong polar winds. This image was taken during the Martian northern summer, so there is no frost present on the dunes. The dunes closest to the base of the polar cap are long and parallel, indicating strong winds from the direction of the cap. As they get farther away from the polar cap, they start to form more crescent shaped dunes, called barchan dunes. Repeated observations by HiRise of dunes like these show measurable changes in some locations. This discovery adds to t

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observed blue straggler. NGC 6752 is a globular cluster, and at over 10 billion years old is one the most ancient collections of stars known. It has been blazing for well over twice as long as our Solar System has existed. NGC 6752 contains a high number of blue straggler”” stars, some of which are visible in this image. These stars display characteristics of stars younger than their neighbours, despite models suggesting that most of the stars within globular clusters should have formed at approximately the same time.

It has been blazing for well over twice as long as our Solar System has existed. NGC 6752 contains a high number of blue straggler”” stars, some of which are visible in this image. These stars display characteristics of stars younger than their neighbours, despite models suggesting that most of the stars within globular clusters should have formed at approximately the same time.

Charhak Puja is observed on the last days of the Bangla month of Chaitra (April) called Chatitra Sangkranti. Farmers celebrate during this festival with the devotees singing and dancing without any care. The Charak Puja is well-known for the rites of piercing the body with nails, and swirling from a high pole. A 'charhak tree' is built on the occasion, consisting of a long pole atop which a wheel is fixed. An ascetic devotee is hung from this wheel with a hook. The wheel then spins around with him at high speed. Small nails, at times red hot ones, pierce all parts of his body including his tongue. The devotee thus spinning spreads prasad (handmade sweetmeats blessed with chants) among the curious spectators and onlookers. At the root of the celebration of Charhak Puja is a belief in spirit
