PIX4645327: Hubble space telescope: 4th maintenance mission 05/2009 - Hubble space telescope: fourth repair mission 05/2009 - Astronaut Andrew Feustel transports the new WFC3 (Wide Field Camera 3) camera during his first extravehicular exit to install it aboard the Hubble space telescope (HST). 14 May 2009. But for the absence of gravity, astronaut Andrew Feustel, perched on the end of the remote manipulator system arm, would be a bit top heavy as he helps to install the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) during a May 14 spacewalk to perform work on the Hubble Space Telescope. Out of frame is veteran astronaut John Grunsfeld, his spacewalking crewmate. The pair kicked off five back to back days of extravehicular activity for the STS - 125 crew. Feustel and Grunsfeld will participate in two of the remaining four spacewalks. 14 May 2009 / Bridgeman Images
PIX4645465: Hubble space telescope: end of the 4th maintenance mission 05/2009 - Hubble space telescope: end of the fourth repair mission - The Hubble space telescope (HST) seen from space shuttle Atlantis after their separation on 19 May 2009. An STS - 125 crew member aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis captured this still image of the Hubble Space Telescope as the two spacecraft begin their relative separation on May 19, after having been linked together for the better part of a week. During the week five spacewalks were performed to complete the final servicing. 19 May 2009 / Bridgeman Images

It is 13 metres long, its main mirror has a diameter of 2.4 metres. He is equipped with spectrometer and several cameras observing the Universe in visible and infrared. The Hubble space telescope is in orbit at about 600 km around the Earth. This 13 meters in length telescope with a mirror of 2.4 meters (94.5 inches) in diameter is also equipped of many cameras and a spectrometer to observe the Universe in the visible and infrared light / Bridgeman Images
PIX4650506: LHC: work on the ATLAS detector - LHC: Work on the ATLAS semiconductor tracker barrel - Work performed on the ATLAS semiconductor trajectory (SCT) - one of the main elements of the ATLAS internal detector Precision work is performed on the semiconductor tracker barrel of the ATLAS experiment. All work on these delicate components must be performed in a clean room so that impurities in the air, such as dust, do not contaminate the detector. The semiconductor tracker will be mounted in the barrel close to the heart of the ATLAS experiment to detect the path of particles produced in proton-proton collisions / Bridgeman Images
TEC4658357: The villa Nubar Bey in Garches (Hauts de Seine). Construction 1931-1932, architects Auguste and Gustave Perret. Large Villa built for an Egyptian minister, Nubar Bey Pasha. Made of concrete weapon and Burgundy stone, the villa overlooks a terraced garden of which only remains a small part of the original trace.

PIX4658455: Saudi Arabia's coral reefs - Al Wadj Bank, Saudi Arabia - Approximately 260 coral species have been recorded in Al Wadj Bank coral reefs in Saudi Arabia. Image obtained from the International Space Station (ISS) in December 2007. Saudi Arabia boasts the most coral reefs of any Middle Eastern country, as it includes coastline along both the Red Sea and the Gulf of Arabia. This high - resolution astronaut photograph shows part of the Al Wadj Bank, located along the northern Red Sea coast. Despite the relatively high salinity of Red Sea water, approximately 260 species of coral have been documented in the region. Large tracts of the Saudi Arabian coastline are undeveloped, and reefs in these areas are in generally good ecological health. However, reefs located near large urban centers such as Jeddeh have suffered degradation due to land reclamation (dredging and filling), pollution, and increased sediment runoff from land. The Al Wadj Bank (a bank is an underwater hill) includes a healthy and diverse reef system, extensive seagrasses beds, and perhaps the largest population of dugong - - a marine mammal similar to the North American manatee - - in the eastern Red Sea. The portion of the Bank in this image illustrates the complex form and topography of the reef system. Several emergent islands (tan) are visible, surrounded primarily by dark green seagrasset; the largest is at top left. Only the islands are above the waterline; over the reefs, the water color ranges from light teal (shallow) to turquoise (increasing depth). The southern edge of the reef is well defined by the deep, dark blue water of the Red Sea (top). Image taken from the international space station (ISS) in december 2007 / Bridgeman Images
TEC4657857: La Villa Guggenbuhl, 14 rue Nansouty in Paris 75014. Architect Andre Lurcat (1894-1970), 1926-1927. Built for Walter Guggenbuhl, Zurich painter. Constructed of weapon concrete, the building, facing Montsouris Park, has a large workshop and a physical exercise room on the second floor terrace. Photographir 03/06/88. / Bridgeman Images
