PIX4583617: Illustration of a triple system of asteroids - Triple system of asteroids -Artwork - Artist's view of two small asteroids (Romulus and Remus) orbiting asteroid 87 Sylvia. Sylvia is about 380 km long and is one of the largest members of the asteroid belt. Two small asteroids are orbiting a larger one known since 1866 as 87 Sylvia. Sylvia is measuring 380 x 260 x 230 km; its moons are considerably smaller, orbiting in nearly circular orbits and in the same plane and direction. The closest and newly discovered moonlet, orbiting about 710 km from Sylvia, is Remus, a body only 7 km across and circling Sylvia every 33 hours. The second, Romulus, orbits at about 1360 km in 87.6 hours and measures about 18 km across. The asteroid 87 Sylvia is one of the largest known from the asteroid main belt, and is located about 3.5 times further away from the Sun than the Earth, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter / Bridgeman Images
PIX4583992: Inhabited mission to an asteroid - Artist's view - MMV begins descent to asteroid surface - Two MMV (Manned Maneuvering Vehicles), pilots by astronauts, explore the surface of an asteroid. Two Manned Maneuvering Vehicles (MMVs) explores the airless, microgravity environment of a small asteroid. Given the almost total lack of gravity the MMVs are free to navigate the environment like one-man submersibles at the bottom of an ocean / Bridgeman Images
PIX4584017: Inhabited mission to an asteroid - Artist's view - Asteroid Lander prepares for touchdown - A living spaceship lands on the surface of an asteroid. A manned Asteroid Lander descends towards the rugged and cratered surface of an ancient asteroid.

PIX4590243: Constellation of the Southern Cross and False Cross - The Southern Cross and the False Cross - The Southern Cross on the left can sometimes be confused with a near asterism, the false cross on the bottom right. The Southern Cross and the False Cross, from the Coal Sack to the Vel, centred on the theta Car cluste / Bridgeman Images
PIX4590270: Southern cross and Coal Sack nebula - The coal bag located near the Southern Cross is a molecular cloud of a high concentration of gas and dust that absorbs almost all the visible light emitted by the stars in the background. The Coal Sack is a large dark patch lying in very rich star field of the milky way. It is a dark nebula, an interstellar dust cloud obscuring the light of the stars behind it / Bridgeman Images
PIX4590389: Part of the constellation Swan - Cygnus Milky Way - The constellation Swan dominates the richest part of the Lactee Way during the summer in the northern hemisphere. The large nebula broadcast IC 1396 in Cephee is visible to the extreme left of the image. The large dark nebula Le Gentil 3 is visible between IC 1396 and NGC 7000, the Nebula of North America, next to Deneb (the brightest star in this picture). Underneath, a smaller dark nebula, B168. The constellation of Cygnus, the Swan, dominates the richest part of the Milky Way in the sky overhead during the summer in the northern hemisphere. This beautiful area is full of dust and gas and star froming regions. The large red emission nebula IC 1396 in Cepheus is at the far left of the frame. The large dark nebula Le Gentil 3 is between IC 1396 and NGC 7000, the North America Nebula next to Deneb. A smaller dark nebula, B168, can be seen below. Another large area of emission nebulae containing IC 1318, the Butterfly Nebula, surrounds Sadr. NGC 6992, the brighter half of the Veil Nebula is faintly visible near the bottom center. The beautiful double star Albireo lies at the head of the Swan. The great rift in the Milky Way, a large area of obscuring dark matter, dominates the right side of the frame in Vulpecula, with CR399, the Coathanger asterism, centered on it at right / Bridgeman Images

PIX4591833: Constellations of the Indian, the Crane and Toucan - Constellations of Indus, Grus and Tucana - The southern constellation of the Indian, with to its left the constellations of the Crane (top) and Toucan. Indus (the Indian, widely taken to mean the American Indian) is a constellation devoid of bright stars in a mostly undistinguished part of the southern sky. It was created by Johann Bayer and appeared in his atlas of 1603. The reference to the American Indian comes from the constellation engraving by Bayer, which shows a figure carrying arrows; however, even if it was conspicuous, most of the constellation is invisible from the USA / Bridgeman Images
