PIX4605677: Pioneer 11 and Saturn - Artist's View - Pioneer 11 Saturn flyby - Artist view - Pioneer 11 was launched on April 5, 1973 with as its first destination the planet Jupiter, which it flew over in December 1974; it was the first probe to fly over Saturn in September 1979. The Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 probes have embarked on a plate, called the Pioneer plate, containing a message intended for potential aliens. The Pioneer 11 probe flys past Satur, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4626297: Saturn seen from his satellite Japet - Saturn as seen from Iapetus - Artist's view of the surface of the satellite Japet and the planet Saturn eclipsing the Sun. Saturn as seen from Iapetus Saturn produces a “” diamond ring”” effect as it eclipses the sun in this perspective from the satellite Iapetus. Artist view, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4623968: Neptune and its rings - Illustration - Neptune and its rings - Illustration - Neptune has a system of several rings; the farthest from Neptune is called Adams and contains the bows Liberte, Egalite, Fraternity and Courage. In this artist's view, the small satellites of Neptune are also represented; from the closest to the farthest from the planet, we find: Naiade, Thalassa, Despina, Galatee, Larissa and Protee, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4640529: Interstellar ship - Artist's view - Interstellar ship diagram: Illustration of an interstellar ship 15 km long, capable of reaching Alpha from the Centaurus. A starship 10 miles long, capable of reaching the nearest star, Alpha Centauri, is depicted in this illustration. To eliminate the structural stress and high-velocity ablation of interstellar gas and dust during the deceleration phase, the ship is designed so no turnaround maneuver is necessary. The central torus is the inhabited “” seed”” of this vessel, rotating at 1 revolution per minute to create centrifugal gravity for the travelers., Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4640543: Interstellar ship - Artist's view - starship arrives alpha centauri - An interstellar ship arrives in orbit around an exoplanet, after a 50-year journey to the Alpha star of the Centaurus. The bright star under the exoplanet is our Sun, a distance of 4.3 years of light. A habitat two miles across arrives to orbit a hypothetical earthlike planet orbiting the star Alpha Centauri after a 50 - year voyage. The discarded braking stage of the giant starship drifts in the far background. The bright star below the planet is our sun, 4.3 light years away, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4640148: Space elevator - Artist view - Space elevator - Artist view - Elevator project connects to a space station in geostationary orbit. An elevator made of unimaginably strong materials rises 22,000 miles above the equator, providing easy access to space, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4606088: Huygens probe lands on Titan. - Huygens probe lands on Titan. - Artist's view of the descent of the European probe Huygens on Titan. Huygens landed on the Titan satellite on 14 January 2005. The Cassini-Huygens probe was launched on 15 October 1997 and has been placed in orbit around Saturn since 1 July 200, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
