PIX4650536: LHC: Installation of the ATLAS calorimeter - LHC: Installing the ATLAS calorimeter - Central view of the ATLAS detector with its eight toroid magnets surrounding the calorimeter before it is moved to the center of the detector. The calorimeter measures the energy of the particles produced during the collision between the protons in the center of the detector. The eight toroid magnets can be seen surrounding the calorimeter that is later moved into the middle of the detector. This calorimeter will measure the energies of particles produced when protons collide in the centre of the detector / Bridgeman Images
PIX4574685: Large red spot of Jupiter seen by Voyager 2 - 03 - 07 - 1979 - Large red spot of Jupiter seen by Voyager 2 - 03 - 07 - 1979 - The red spot of Jupiter seen by the Voyager 2 probe on July 3, 1979 has a distance of 6 million km from the planet. The Jupiter Red Spot is a gigantic tempete measuring nearly 25,000 km in diameter, about twice the diameter of the Earth. / Bridgeman Images
PIX4616824: Mars and Deimos - Illustration - Mars and Deimos - Illustration - Artist's view of Deimos, the smallest of Mars's two satellites. This is how Mars and its even smaller satellite Deimos might appear from a distance of about 100 miles from the surface of Deimos. Deimos is over Acidalia Planitia, an albedo feature that has been observed by Earth - bound astronomers since the 19th century. To the southwest are the fog - filled canyons of Valles Marineris, the westernmost of which are still in darkness. Beyond Mars, immediately to the left of its night side, is Phobos at a distance of 20,000 miles. The two bright objects in the lower left are the stars Beta Gruis and Al Nair in the southern constellation Grus. Like it's larger companion Phobos, Deimos does not possess enough mass to pull itself into a sphere; its shape instead is oblong with a length of about 10 miles and only 6 miles wide at its smallest dimension. Like Phobos, Deimos may be an asteroid long ago captured by Mars' gravity. Orbiting 14,600 miles above Mars' surface, Deimos completes one revolution every 30 hours / Bridgeman Images
PIX4633308: The Earth 600 million years ago - Artist's view - Ediacaran Earth - The Earth seen about 600 million years ago after an important period of glaciation. This is how the Earth may have appeared 600 million years ago following the Cryogenian “” Snowball Earth”” period. The worldwide glaciers have melted and the ocean is largely liquid again. During this, the Ediacaran period, it is hypothesized that all of the Earth's landmasses had merged into a single supercontinent known as Pannotia, also known as the Vendian supercontinent. Surrounding this massive landmass is the vast Panthalassic Ocean, also known as Panthalassa. While the ocean was home to a variety of evolving multicellular life forms including the ubiquitous Dickinsonia costata, it is not believed that life had moved to dry land with possible exception of bacteria and other microbial colonies / Bridgeman Images
PIX4643515: Cassini spacecraft with Enceladus Geysers - Artist's view of the Cassini probe observing geysers on the surface of Enceladus, one of Saturn's satellites. The Cassini-Huygens probe was launched on 15 October 1997 and has been placed in orbit around Saturn since 1 July 2004. Cassini deliberately flies through the enigmatic geysurs of Encaledus, as the slim cresent of Saturn rises above the horizon / Bridgeman Images
PIX4581492: Zodiacal light - Zodiacal light - Zodiacal light. May 2004, Namibia. The zodiacal light comes from the reflection of the Sun's light on the countless interplanetary dust; it draws the plane of the Solar System. Zodiacal light, Namibia, May 2004. Zodiacal light comes from the reflexion of the sun's light off tiny interplanetary dust particles in the plane of the solar system / Bridgeman Images
