PIX4607276: Artist's view of the New Horizons probe and a Kuiper object - The New Horizons spacecraft near Kuiper Belt Object - Artist's view of the New Horizons probe approaching a Kuiper object. The Sun shines more than 6 billion km surrounded by a disc of dust. Jupiter and Neptune appear as two stars to the right of the Sun. The New Horizons probe was launched on 19 January 2006 to Jupiter, then Pluto and Charon, which it will reach in 2015 and Kuiper's objects in 2020. Artist's impression of the New Horizons spacecraft encountering a Kuiper Belt object. The Sun, more than 4.1 billion miles (6.7 billion kilometers) away, shines as a bright star embedded in the glow of the zodiacal dust cloud. Jupiter and Neptune are visible as orange and blue “” stars””” to the right of the Sun. Although you would not actually see the myriad other objects that make up the Kuiper Belt because they are so far apart, they are shown here to give the impression of an extensive disk of icy worlds beyond Neptune / Bridgeman Images
PIX4613932: Leo 1 dwarf galaxy in the Lion - Leo 1 dwarf galaxy - Leo 1 is located about 900,000 light years from Earth. It belongs to the local group, just like our galaxy or Andromede galaxy. It has only been known since the 1950s; it is difficult to observe due to the proximity of the Regulus star, thousands of times brighter. Image obtained from the 3.9m telescope of Siding Spring. The 'Local Group' of galaxies, to which the Milky Way belongs, contains more dwarf galaxies than any other type. The low surface brightness and lack of bright stars makes them difficult to study, even with a large telescope. Leo I presents particular problems because the galaxy appears only 20 arc minutes (less than the apparent diameter of the Moon) from the brilliant star Regulus and special precautions had to be taken to prevent scattered light from the star obliterating its feeble image. The plates from which this picture was made (the first in colour of a dwarf elliptical galaxy) will be used to learn more about the origins of star formation in these light - weight objects / Bridgeman Images
PIX4590268: Constellation of the Southern Cross - The Southern Cross - The Southern Cross and the Alpha and Beta stars of Centaurus. Crux, the Southern Cross, is the smallest constellation in the sky yet one of the most distinctive, at least to those of us who live in the southern hemisphere. It was once part of Centaurus, where the bright stars Acrux and Mimosa could easly be imagined as the rear hooves of the rearing mythical centaur. However, when Christian sailors began to explore southwards in the 16th century, this memorable asterism took on a new significance. The cross appears on the national flags of several southern hemisphere countries, including Australia, though it can be seen on the southern horizon from the tropic of Cancer, 23.5 degrees north of the equator. Along with the Southern Cross is a very distinctive dark shape known as the Coalsack, much used by southern hemisphere astronomers as an indicator of a dark sky, especially if the sixth magnitude star embedded in it is visible. The long axis of the southern cross points towards the south celestial pole, so the cross itself acts as a very convenient circumpolar clock, compasset and calendar / Bridgeman Images
PIX4604377: Rocket Ariane 5 GS - 12/2009 - Ariane 5 GS liftoff - 12/2009 - Decolving the Ariane 5 GS rocket with the military satellite Helios - 2B on board. Flight V193 was launched on 18 December 2009. On 18 December 2009, an Ariane 5 GS launcher lifted off from Europe's Spaceport in English Guiana on a journey to place the French military reconnaissance satellite Helios - 2B into Sun - synchronous polar orbit. Flight V193 was the seventh Ariane 5 launch of 2009 and used the last of the GS variant of the launcher. Liftoff of the 49th Ariane 5 mission took place at 17:26 CET/Paris (16:26 UTC; 13:26 English Guiana). The satellite was accurately injected into its target orbit about 59 minutes later. The payload mass for this launch was 5954 kg; the satellite mass was 4200 kg, with payload adapters and dispensers making up the additional 1754 kg / Bridgeman Images

PIX4608442: Planetary system around Trappist-1 - Artist's impressions of the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system: Artist's view of extrasolar planets around the red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1. At least seven exoplanets the size of the Earth are orbiting this star 40 light years ago in the constellation Aquarius. All could contain water. This artist's impression shows several of the planets orbiting the ultra-cool red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1. New observations, when combined with very sophisticated analysis, have now yielded good estimates of the densities of all seven of the Earth-sized planets and suggest that they are rich in volatile materials, probably water / Bridgeman Images

PIX4661307: Grasberg Mine - Indonesia - Grasberg Mine - Indonesia: The Grasberg Mine is the largest gold mine and the third largest copper mine in the world. It is located in the Indonesian province of Papua in western New Guinea, a few kilometres west of Puncak Jaya, Oceania's highest peak. It is thus located at about 4,000 m above sea level. It consists of an open pit mine and an underground mine. Image taken from the International Space Station (ISS) on 25 June 2005. Located in the Sudirman Mountains of the Irian Jaya province of Indonesia, the Grasberg complex (also known as the Freeport Mine) is one of the largest gold and copper mining operations in the world. This astronaut photograph illustrates the approximately 4-kilometre-wide open-pit portion of the mine complex; there are also extensive underground mine workings. Access roads for trucks hauling ore and waste rock are visible along the sides of the pit. The mine is located in close proximity to rare equatorial mountain glaciers that serve as indicators of climate change in the region. Removal of vegetation, steepening of slopes related to mining activities, earthquakes, and frequent heavy rainfall have resulted in deadly landslides in the mine workings. While landscape reclamation projects have begun at the mine, environmental groups and local citizens are concerned with the potential for copper contamination and acid rock drainage into surrounding river systems, land surfaces, and groundwater. Astronaut photograph was acquired on June 25, 2005 from the International Space Station (ISS) / Bridgeman Images

PIX4672476: Umnak Island - Aleutian Islands - Alaska - Umnak Island - Aleutian Islands - Alaska: Umnak Island is one of the Fox Islands, belonging to the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, USA. With an area of more than 1,776 km, it is the third largest of the Aleutian Islands. At the top right is the Okmok caldera (erupted in 2008), below the Vsevidof volcano; below the left, the Ile des Quatre Montagnes. Image obtained on 3 May 2014 by the Landsat-8 satellite. On May 3, 2014, the Landsat 8 satellite acquired this natural-color image of Umnak Island and its volcanic neighbors in the Aleutian Island chain. Part of the Fox Islands, Umnak is the third largest in the Aleutian chain and lies just southwest of Unalaska. Umnak is mostly unpopulated, with roughly 40 people living in the village of Nikolski near the southwest tip of the island. Being a volcanic island, Umnak has numerous mud pots, hot springs, and the only geysers in Alaska. The landscape is dominated by volcanoes. On the northern half of the island, Okmok - site of the 2008 eruption - rises 1073 meters (3,520 feet) above sea level as a broad shield volcano with a caldera nestled near the top. A crater lake sits amidst the volcanic ash and debris in the caldera. Mount Vsevidof, a symmetrical stratovolcano, rises 2149 meters (7,050 feet) and dominates the skyline of the southern portion of Umnak Island. The volcanic Islands of the Four Mountains are also visible in the lower left of the wide image / Bridgeman Images
PIX4669145: Earth seen by satellite DSCOVR - Earth seen by satellite DSCOVR: Earth photo obtained by satellite Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) on July 6, 2015. This satellite, launched on 11 February 2015, and placed in orbit 1.6 million km, at the point of Lagrange L1 (about 4 times farther than the Moon's orbit), provides views of the Earth as a whole - The journey has been a long one for the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR). Once known as Triana, the satellite was conceived in 1998 to provide continuous views of Earth, to monitor the solar wind, and to measure fluctuations in Earth's albedo. The mission was put on hold in 2001, and the part-built satellite ended up in storage for several years with an uncertain future. In 2008, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NASA, and the U.S. Air Force decided to refurbish and update the spacecraft for launch - On February 11, 2015, DSCOVR was finally lofted into space by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. After journey of about 1.6 million kilometers (1 million miles) to the L1 Lagrange Point, the satellite and its Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) has returned its first view of the entire sunlit side of Earth. At L1-four times farther than the orbit of the Moon - the gravitational pull of the Sun and Earth cancel out, providing a stable orbit and a continuous view of Earth. The image above was made by combining information from Epic's red, green, and blue bands. (Bands are narrow regions of the electromagnetic spectrum to which a remote sensing instrument responds. When EPIC collects data, it takes a series of 10 images at different bands - from ultraviolet to near infrared.) / Bridgeman Images
