PIX4593350: Constellation of the Little Bear - Constellation of Ursa Minor - At the top of the picture, the polar star. Ursa Minor (the Little Bear) is intimately linked to Polaris, the North Star which may be found at the end of the trail of stars that look like the Little Dipper / Bridgeman Images

PIX4578916: Sunrise - 22 June 2005. - Full moon rising - June 22 - Sunrise one day after the summer solstice. The Moon rises very south and remains low in the sky (like the Sun in winter) thus taking longer than usual to rise. It is dark red when it appears discreetly above the sea. At first very blurred (due to the very strong atmospheric turbulence near the horizon), flattened (due to the atmospheric refraction), dark and red (due to the thicker atmosphere near the horizon), it gradually illuminates and yellows, while it regains its very round shape. That day, it will take several hours for her to turn white again. Each image of this montage was taken five minutes after the previous one. June 22, 2005. Full moon is rising on June 22, one day after the summer solstice, so the Moon is rising far to the South. Moreover, it stays low above the horizon (like the Sun in winter) and takes more time than usually to rise. It is dark - red when it appears above the sea, at just one degree of elevation. Firstly very fuzzy (because of the atmospheric turbulence very strong near the horizon), flatten (because of the atmospheric refraction), dark and red (because of the thicker atmosphere near the horizon), it brightens slowly, get more yellow, as it takes its round shape. That day, many hours were necessary for the Moon to became white. Each picture from this composite had been taken 5 minutes after the previous one. June 22, 2005 / Bridgeman Images

PIX4579641: Total Eclipse of Moon 21/02/2008 - Total lunar eclipse over a menhir - February 21 - The totally eclipsee Moon is overexposed, giving it the appearance of a huge orange star, close to the Regulus star in the constellation of the Lion, and accompanied at the top left by the Planet Saturn. The total lunar eclipse of february 21, 2008 seen over a menhir illuminated by a red light. Moon is seen overexposed, close to the star Regulus in Leo constellation.

PIX4573201: Planetary system around the star HD 69830 - Planetary System Around HD 69830 - Artist's view of three planets orbiting around the star HD 69830. This planetary system is the first detects around a star similar to the Sun that contains several planets whose mass is less than that of Jupiter. It seems that this system also has an asteroid belt. Using the ultra - precise HARPS spectrograph on Eso's 3.6 - m telescope at La Silla (Chile), a team of European astronomers have discovered that a nearby star is host to three Neptune - mass planets. The innermost planet is most likely rocky, while the outermost is the first known Neptune - mass planet to reside in the habitable zone. This unique system is likely further enriched by an asteroid belt. This view portaits a point of view inside the asteroid belt, which is assumed here to lie between the two outermost planets / Bridgeman Images
