PIX4629334: Eclipses - Artist's View - Eclipses - Artwork - For an eclipse of moon or sun to take place, the sun, earth and moon must be aligned. Since the orbit of the Moon is inclined by 5* relative to the plane of the Earth's orbit (ecliptic), this situation is possible only about every 6 months, when the line of the nodes (intersection of the plane of the moon's orbit with the plane of the ecliptic) is oriented towards the Sun. / Bridgeman Images

PIX4669127: Dial of the Tower of the Clock - Auxerre - Clock on the clock tower in Auxerre - Clock with dials of the Tower of the Clock in Auxerre. This public clock was built in 1469 by a master watchmaker named Jean. It operated until 1812. The present mechanism dates back to 1817. The clock consists of two identical dials, one to the east (photo), the other to the west. The dials are divided into 24 hours: from noon to midnight, and from midnight to noon. A needle on which the Sun is depicted indicates the hours of the day. The second hand carries a globe with half black and half gold. This globe indicates the phases of the Moon. This needle indicates the lunar day, which is 24h49min. The stars pass to the Meridian (towards the south) when their image is at the top of the dial, on the number XII. Clock on the 15th century clock tower in Auxerre / Bridgeman Images
PIX4639561: Permanent station between Mars and the Earth - Artist view - Mars cycler and manned maneuvering units - Artist view - Mars Cycler arrives near the Earth. Astronauts are conducting an extravehicular exit. Mars Cycler is a space station placed in orbit between Mars and Earth whose trajectory would alternate between Mars and Earth. Once positioned in orbit, this gravitational assistance vessel would use very little fuel. This project would make a permanent link between the two planets. A Mars cycler swings by the Earth and onward to Mars while two astronauts in manned maneuvering units (AKA, MMUS) watch from afar. A Mars cycler is a permanently orbiting vehicle with a path that alternately brings it near Earth and Mars. Once a cycler has been accelerated into orbit it continues on its own momentum, going back and forth between the two planets, only requiring propellant for occasional course adjustments. A one-way trip between Earth and Mars involves six to eight months of space travel, therefore a large and well-equipped Mars cycler would offer space explorers, and possibly even space tourists, better accommodations for these long journeys. Smaller spacecraft would ferry travelers between the planets and the cycle / Bridgeman Images

PIX4671758: Halo and Light Column- Ice halos near Zeel am See, Austria - A light column is created by the reflection of a light source on the horizontal faces of ice crystals. So it takes a fairly stable atmosphere to keep these crystals parallel to the horizon. Lunar halo. The ice crystals in the cirrus decompose the lunar light (in fact, the solar light reflected by the lunar surface) as small prisms and can give rise to a large coloured circle. A paraselene consists of light spots located on the left and right at the height of the Moon. Austria, January 2016. A light pillar is created by the reflection of light on the horizontal face of ice cristals. So, a quiet atmosphere is needed in order that this cristals stay parallel to the horizon. Lunar halos are caused by moonlight being refracted by cirro-stratus clouds. These thin clouds are located very high in the atmosphere, and are composed of ice crystals. They bend light at a 22 degree angle, which creates a halo that is 44 degrees in diameter / Bridgeman Images
PIX4671763: Corona around the Moon - Corona around the Moon - When the light of the Moon passes through thin clouds of water droplets, it can create a moon crown of color. In meteorology, a lunar corona is produced by the diffraction of light from the Moon by small water droplets in a cloud / Bridgeman Images
