PIX4640370: Artist view of a spacecraft and a comet - A spacecraft approaching a comet - Artist view - Artist view of a spacecraft approaching a comet on Earth. Illustration made for the cover of Gregory Benford's novel “Dans l'ocean de la nuit” (in the ocean of night). A spacecraft approaches a comet that is on a collision course with earth, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4646146: Satellite WMAP - Illustration - Satellite WMAP - Illustration - View of satellite WMAP (Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe), launched on 30 June 2001 and placed in an orbit located at the second point of Lagrange (L2) about 1.6 million km from Earth. This satellite measured temperature fluctuations in the fossil radiation of the primordial universe, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4575244: Eclipse seen from Io - Illustration - Eclipse from Io. Artwork - 1975 illustration showing Jupiter eclipsing the Sun from his satellite Io. Frosts that precipitate on IO's surface while in Jupiter's shadow sublime back into the gaseous state, dated concept, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4606083: 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
PIX4593076: The stars of the constellation Orion 3D views - Stars in the constellation Orion 3D representation - The stars of the constellation Orion seen in 3 dimensions. The stars delineating the constellation Orion are dispersed across nearly 2,000 light years in this 3D representation, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4572699: Artist's view of an eruptive star - Flare star. Artwork - An eruptive star is a variable star that can manifest a dramatic and imforeseeable increase in luminosite from a few minutes to a few hours. From X-rays to radios, the spectrum increases in intensity. Eruptive stars are red dwarves, although recent research indicates that brown dwarves may also be capable of eruptions. A flare star is a variable star which can undergo unpredictable dramatic increases in brightness for a few minutes or a few hours. The brightness increase is across the spectrum, from X - rays to radio waves. Flare stars are dim red dwarfs, although recent research indicates that brown dwarfs might also be capable of flaring, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
