PIX4625925: Artist's view of the volcano Ganesa Macula on Titan - This formation with a diameter of 180 km, seems to be a cryovolcano, an ice volcano. The surface temperature of Titan is about - 180* C, so the “lava” (a mixture of methane, ammonia and water) flows from it is icy. / Bridgeman Images
PIX4626018: Surface of Titan seen by Huygens - Illustration - Titan Emerges - Artist's view of the surface of Titan as it appeared at the European probe Huygens on January 14, 2005 when it descended, about 20 km from the ground. This is how the surface of Titan may have appeared to the European Space Agency's Huygens probe when it emerged from the satellite's ubiquitous hydrocarbon haze about 12 miles above Titan's surface. Huygens made its historic decent on 14 January 2005, making it the first man - made object to reach the surface of the satellite of another planet / Bridgeman Images

PIX4626476: Kepler is the rest of a supernova that exploded about 400 years ago located about 13,000 light years from Earth in the constellation Ophiuchus. This image obtained from the Hubble space telescope shows the filamentous structures of gases heated in contact with the shock wave. Composite of images obtained in August 2003 and May 2004; cumulative poses of 6 hours 30 minutes - Visible-light images from the Hubble telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys reveal where the supernova shock wave is slamming into the densest regions of surrounding gas. The bright glowing knots are dense clumps from instabilities that form behind the shock wave. The Hubble data also show thin filaments of gas that look like rippled sheets seen edge-on. These filaments reveal where the shock wave is encountering low-density, more uniform interstellar material. Hubble's image was taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on August 28/29, 2003 & May 26, 2004 for a total of 6.5 hours: Remains of the supernova Kepler in Ophiuchus - Kepler's supernova remnant / Bridgeman Images
PIX4626532: Sunspots are cooler areas on the sun's surface, the photosphere, associated with strong local magnetic activity. The spots, which are about 4,500 degrees K, only look dark because of the contrast with the surrounding surface, which is about 6,000 degrees K -: Sun and Sunspots - Sun with sunspots / Bridgeman Images

PIX4624317: Pluto - Pluto - The dwarf planet Pluto seen by the Hubble space telescope. These images, recomposed by computer from cliches obtained in 2002 and 2003, are not sufficiently precise to show Pluto's surface in detail but reveal color differences. This is the most detailed view to date of the entire surface of the dwarf planet Pluto, as constructed from multiple NASA Hubble Space Telescope photographs taken from 2002 to 2003. Hubble's view isn't sharp enough to see craters or mountains, if they exist on the surface, but Hubble reveals a complex - looking and variegated world with white, dark - orange, and charcoal - black terrain. The overall color is believed to be a result of ultraviolet radiation from the distant Sun breaking up methane that is present on Pluto's surface, leaving behind a dark, molasse - colored, carbon - rich residue. The center disk (180 degrees) has a mysterious bright spot that is unusually rich in carbon monoxide frost. This region will be photographed in the highest possible detail when Nasa's New Horizons probe flies by Pluto in 2015. The Hubble images are a few pixels wide. But through a technique called dithering, multiple, slightly offset pictures can be combined through computer - image processing to synthesize a higher - resolution view than could be seen in a single exposure. This series of pictures took four years and 20 computers operating continuously and simultaneously to accomplish / Bridgeman Images
PIX4624427: Since August 2006, Pluto is now called 134340 Pluto and is no longer considered a planet but designed as a dwarf planet -: The Sun seen from Pluto - Illustration - Sun seen from Pluto. Artwork / Bridgeman Images
PIX4624480: Summer on Pluto - Illustration - Summer on Pluto - Artist view - Artist view of Pluto's surface when the planet is closer to the Sun and sees its weak atmosphere reforming. Despite its small size and extreme distance from the Sun, Pluto does have an atmosphere. The atmosphere arises because there are periods when Pluto is closer to the Sun than Neptune, making it the 8th planet from the Sun for roughly 20 years at a time (on 11 February 1999, Pluto crossed Neptune's orbit and once again became farther from the Sun Neptune and will remain so until the year 2231). During this plutonian “” summer”” the ices on Pluto's surface sublimate and form a methane and nitrogen atmosphere. This atmosphere is continually produced and lost again while Pluto is inside Neptune's orbit; during this time the density of Pluto's atmosphere may rival that of Mars / Bridgeman Images
