PIX4624441: Parhelie sur Pluto - Artist's view - Parhelie sur Pluto - Artist's view - Artist's view of the icy surface of Pluto and the Sun. When Pluto is at its perihelie, that is to say the closest to the Sun, it has a very fine atmosphere. Some optical phenomena could then occur as here, a parhely, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4640403: Artist view of a spaceship near an exoplanet - Spacecraft over an exoplanet - Artist view - Artist view of a spaceship approaching an extrasolar planet of Earth type orbiting Nemesis, the hypothetical star companion of the Sun. Artist's view for Isaac Asimov's novel, Nemesis. A starship orbits a world of Barnard's star Nemesis, the hypothetical red dwarf brown dwarf star orbiting the Sun. Cover illustration for the novel of Isaac Asimov “” Nemesis””, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4640469: Artist's view of a supernova explosion threatening spacecraft - Starships threatened by a supernova explosion - Artist's view of the explosion of a supernova threatening spacecraft. Cover illustration of Michael McCollum's novel “Antares Dawn”. Antares Dawn - cover for novel by Michael McCollum, a starship hovers against the backdrop of the exploding red giant Antares, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4638331: Evolution of our sky - End of cosmology - The sky seen from Earth today (left) and then in 5 billion years (the Sun has become a giant red star, the Earth has lost its water, the galaxy of Andromede collides with our galaxy), in 100 billion years, there is only one supergalaxy left in our sky; in 100 trillion years (100 million), the last stars are getting out. The night sky seen from Earth today (left), then seen in 5 billion years (sun has become a red giant star, water on earth is evaporated Andromeda galaxy is colliding Milky way). Third panel is 100 billion years later, there is only one giant galaxy in our sky. Last panel is 100 trillion years in the future, universe goes black, last stars burn out, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4606094: 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
PIX4607392: Artist's view of a space probe exploring the underground ocean of Europe. - Artist's view of a space probe exploring the underground ocean of Europe. - Artist's view of a space probe exploring the underground ocean of Europe. Ice covers the surface of this Jupiter satellite; it is believed that under the tens of km thick of this ice, water in the liquid state could exist, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4633504: The capture of the Moon - Moon capture theory - Infographic showing the different processes of capturing a satellite by a planet. At the top, the developing planetary halo of gas slows down and captures a passing Celestial body. In the middle, the sphere of gravitational influence of the planet develops and attracts a celestial body. At the bottom, interactions between passing asteroids can cause one to remain in orbit around a planet. Infographic shows processes for planet to aquire a satellite. A developing planet's halo of gas expands to capture a passing body (top). Its gravitational sphere of influence expands as well (middle). Interactions between passing asteroids may cause one to fall into orbit (bottom), Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4584811: Formation of a micro hole black - Microscopic black holes. Artwork. - Artist's view of the formation of a microscopic black hole following the collision of very high energy waves. Microscopic black holes might be formed by the collision of high-energy wave packets. They would last for only fractions of a second before dissolving in a burst of quarks and gamma rays, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
