PIX4633276: The Earth 650 million years ago - Artist's view - Snowball Earth - The Earth seen in a period of glaciation (Varanger glaciation), about 650 to 630 million years ago. This is how the Earth may have appeared about 650 million years ago during a period when snow and ice may have covered most, if not all, of the Earth's surface and oceans. This image suggests the Earth's appearance during the Marinoan glaciation from 650 to 630 million years ago. The southern and eastern hemispheres are dominated by glacier - covered land masses while the opposing hemisphere is frozen ocean save for a few areas of exposed liquid water, AKA refugia for the Earth's surviving soft - bodied multicellular organisms. In addition to the Marinoan glaciation there may have been at least two, and possibly three previous Proterozoic glacial periods going back to two billion years ago. The causes of these snowball periods are unknown but may have been due to massive volcanic eruptions, massive meteoritic impacts (both resulting in global sun - reflecting ash clouds), or variance's in the Earth's orbit / Bridgeman Images

PIX4603620: ATV - End of mission - Artist view - ATV burn up - Artist view - Artist view of the European automatic cargo ATV entering the Earth's atmosphere. Designed to supply the international space station with various equipment, the ATV, with several tons of fuel on board, will be used to bring the station back into its orbit. At the end of the mission, he will automatically return to Earth or burn in his atmosphere. In combination with ESA's new Ariane 5, the 20.5 t, 8.5 m - long Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) will enable Europe to transport cargo to the International Space Station. It can remain docked for up to 6 months, during which time it will be loaded with Station waste before being undocked and flown into Earth's atmosphere to burn up / Bridgeman Images

PIX4608891: Spiral Galaxy M31 in Andromede - Spiral galaxy M31 in Andromeda - The galaxy of Andromede is located about 2 million years ago - light from Earth. Two satellite galaxies accompany him: M32 (NGC 221) at the top, and M110 (NGC 205) at the bottom. Like the lactee path, the Andromede galaxy belongs to the local group, making up about thirty galaxies. M31, the Great Galaxy in Andromeda, is a gigantic collection of more than 300 billion stars and is located about 2 million light years from Earth. Companion dwarf elliptical galaxies M32 and M110 are also visible. M31 and its companions are part of our local group of galaxies, which includes the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds, and M33. The Andromeda Galaxy is headed towards our Milky Way Galaxy and is expected to collide with it and possibly merge into a gigantic elliptical galaxy in about 3 billion years. Die Andromeda - Galaxie liegt in einer Entfernung von rund 2,5 Millionen Lichtjahren. Der Durchmesser der sichtbaren Scheibe betraegt 150.000 Lj. Zum Vergleich: unsere Milchstrasse hat einen Durchmesser von ca. 100.000 Lj. Nach neuesten Erkenntnissen enthaelt M31 etwa eine Billion Sterne, waehrend die Milchstrasse 100 bis 200 Milliarden Sterne enthaelt. The Andromeda - Galaxy ist umgeben von den beiden elliptischen Galaxien M32 und M110 / Bridgeman Images
PIX4571757: Star Vega in Lyra - Star Vega in Lyra - Vega (Alpha Lyrae) is the main star of the constellation Lyra, located only 25.4 light years from the Sun. It is the second brightest star in the northern hemisphere after Sirius. Due to the precession of the equinoxes, Vega will take the place of the polar star indicating the north in the year 14,000. Vega (Alpha Lyrae) is the brightest star of Lyra constellation, located at 25.4 light years from the Sun. It is the second most luminous star in northern hemisphere. Because of the precession of the equinoxes, Vega will point north celestial pole in year 14,000 / Bridgeman Images

PIX4583751: Impact of an asteroid on Earth - Asteroid impact on Earth- Artwork - Artist view of the impact of the asteroid that would have fallen on the peninsula of Yucatan about 65 million years ago. This asteroid 10 km in diameter would be responsible for the disappearance of dinosaurs.

PIX4642714: View of satellites and debris in low orbit around the Earth - Objects in low - Earth orbit - View over Ecuador 80 per cent of recenses are in low orbit up to 2000 km above Earth. Objects in low - Earth orbit (LEO). View over the equator. Eighty percent of all catalogued objects are in low - Earth orbit (LEO), which extends to 2000 km above the Earth's surface. To observe the Earth, spacecraft must orbit at such a low altitude. The spatial density of objects increases at high latitudes / Bridgeman Images
PIX4639821: Artist's view of a first human crew on Mars - Martian Pioneers - The first human visitors to Mars would face an environment nearly as hostile as the Earth's Moon. While Mars has an atmosphere, it contains no breathable oxygen and is so thin that the surface air pressure is about the same as the Earth's 18 miles above sea level. To venture outside, humans would need hardy suits that would supply pressure, oxygen, moisture, warmth, and insulate them from the fine martian dust that may be both abrasive and caustic. Even with these precautions, humans would still be vulnerable to radiation from solar storms and the continual rain of interstellar cosmic rays / Bridgeman Images
