Apollo 13: Control Room - View of Mission Control Center during the Apollo 13 problem - View of the control room on 15 April 1970 while the makeshift box (nicknamed “mailbox”) for purging CO2 inside the lunar module is present. Prototype of the “” mail box”” constructed at the Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC) to remove carbon dioxide from the Apollo 13 Command Module (CM) is displayed in the Mission Control Center (MCC). The “” mail box”” was constructed when it became apparent CO2 was prevalent in the CM and the spacecraft's lithium hydroxide system was not removing it sufficiently. A space suit exhaust hose is connected to a lithium hydroxide canister to purge the cabin air. There are 16 such canisters in the CM and each will last approximately 12 hours. Looking at the “” mail box”” are (from the left): Milton L. Windler, shift 1 flight director; Dr. Donald K. (Deke) Slayton, director of flight crew operations, MSC; Howard W. Tindall, deputy director, flight operations, MSC; Sigurd A. Sjoberg, director, flight operations, MSC; Dr. Christopher C. Kraft, deputy director, MSC; and Dr. Robert R. Gilruth, director, MSC.

Place de la Concorde in Paris Designed by Jacques Ange Gabriel (1698-1782) as a French garden, it is one of the most beautiful French squares. The works began in 1755 and the square was inaugurated in 1763 under the name of Place Louis XV, it became the place of the Revolution in 1792 and became the place of capital executions. Louis Philippe (1773-1850) gave it back its current name. In 1836 he called the architect Jakob Hittorff (1792-1867) to redesign the square with the eight statues of the big cities of France and the fountains surrounding the Luxor obelisque.

Galaxy NGC 6384 in Ophiuchus - Galaxy NGC 6384 in Ophiuchus - The spiral galaxy NGC 6384, is located about 80 million years ago - light from Earth in the constellation Ophiuchus. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has produced this finely detailed image of the beautiful spiral galaxy NGC 6384. This galaxy lies 80 million light years away in the constellation of Ophiuchus (The Serpent Bearer), not far from the centre of the Milky Way on the sky. The positioning of NGC 6384 means that we have to peer at it past many dazzling foreground Milky Way stars that are scattered across this image

Barree spiral galaxy NGC 6744 in the constellation Peacock - Barred spiral galaxy NGC 6744 in Pavo - The galaxy NGC 6744 is located about 25 million years ago - light from Earth. The morphology of this galaxy is very similar to that of our galaxy, the Lactee Way. Image obtained from the 3.9m telescope of Siding Spring, Australia. This beautiful galaxy is about 25 million light years away in the direction of Pavo, a constellation of the southern hemisphere winter. NGC 6744 is believed to one of the most Milky Way - like of all the nearby spirals, with fluffy (flocculent) spiral arms and a large and distinctly elongated nucleus. It also has other similarities to the Milky Way that are not visible here (but seen on a deep image) with at least one distorted companion galaxy superficially similar to one of the Magellanic Clouds. The CCD chip that made this picture at the prime focus of the AAT (Siding Spring) covers about 7 arc minutes of sky. But the galaxy has a much bigger angular size than this, so a series of four overlapping exposures were made in red, green and blue light. Each 3 - color set was made into a color picture and the four images merged to produce the (almost) seamless image seen here

It sits in a rich starfield, and is strongly inclined to our line of sight. NGC 6744 is believed to one of the most Milky Way - like of all the nearby spirals, with fluffy (flocculent) spiral arms and a large and distinctly elongated nucleus. It also has other similarities to the Milky Way that are not visible here with at least one distorted companion galaxy superficially similar to one of the Magellanic Clouds / Bridgeman Images

Swan Lace - detail - This delicate Hubble Space Telescope image shows a tiny portion of the Cygnus loop, a supernova remnant in the constellation of Cygnus, the Swan. Measurements on this super - detailed image of a cosmic veil shows that the original supernova explosion took place only 5000 years ago. The Cygnus loop, also known as the Veil Nebula, is well - known to amateur astronomers as a challenging target for larger telescopes. It has a diameter of about 3 degrees (corresponding to 6 full moons). This spectacular nebula was created when a massive star ended its days in an immense supernova explosion. A bubble of dust and gas was expelled into space and has continued to expand outwards ever since. The Cygnus Loop consists of two main arcs, designated NGC 6992/95 for the Eastern arc and NGC 6960 for the Western arc (also called the Witch's Broom Nebula). The tiny area of the Hubble image is seen in the upper left - hand corner of the nebula, at the outer edge of one of the large filaments, just where the blast wave rams into the surrounding interstellar gas. We are seeing the shock front almost exactly edge - on, thus explaining its wispy, sheet - like appearance. The image is a striking example of how processes that take place hundreds of light years away can sometimes resemble effects we see around us in our daily life. It was obtained with the WFPC2 instrument in November 1997 with an exposure time of 7400 seconds. The image shows light emitted by neutral hydrogen (656.3 nm) and measures 150 x 70 arc - seconds

We are seeing the shock front almost exactly edge - on, thus explaining its wispy, sheet - like appearance. The image is a striking example of how processes that take place hundreds of light years away can sometimes resemble effects we see around us in our daily life. It was obtained with the WFPC2 instrument in November 1997 with an exposure time of 7400 seconds. The image shows light emitted by neutral hydrogen (656.3 nm) and measures 150 x 70 arc - seconds / Bridgeman Images

Swan Lace - detail - This delicate Hubble Space Telescope image shows a tiny portion of the Cygnus loop, a supernova remnant in the constellation of Cygnus, the Swan. Measurements on this super - detailed image of a cosmic veil shows that the original supernova explosion took place only 5000 years ago. The Cygnus loop, also known as the Veil Nebula, is well - known to amateur astronomers as a challenging target for larger telescopes. It has a diameter of about 3 degrees (corresponding to 6 full moons). This spectacular nebula was created when a massive star ended its days in an immense supernova explosion. A bubble of dust and gas was expelled into space and has continued to expand outwards ever since.

Swan Lace Detail - The Veil nebula, IC 1340 - IC 1340 is a detail of the Swan lace, a remnant of supernova located about 1900 years - light in the constellation Swan. The supernova exploded 5,000 or 8,000 years ago. Image in false colors obtained with a telescope measuring 40 cm in diameter through various filters that highlight the oxygen (in blue), and the hydrogen (in red). This image shows a faint portion of the eastern veil nebula in Cygnus, a large, almost spherical glowing shell of gas, the expanding remains of a star that exploded between 5,000 and 8,000 years ago. The nebula (and thus its precursor star) is about 1900 light years distant and about 100 light years across. It is the result of the shockwave from the explosion exciting the tenuous interstellar medium and making it glow. Shooting in these wavelengths and with the color combine choices yielded a spooky view of something resembling a Bat or Owl. Red is Hydrogen, Blue is Oxygen, Green is the product of both

Remains of the supernova Cassiopee A/HST - Cassiopeia A: Colorful, Shredded Remains of Old Supernova Glowing gaseous streamers of red, white, and blue - - as well as green and pink - - illuminate the heavens like Fourth of July fireworks. The colorful streamers that float across the sky in this photo taken by Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope were created by one of the biggest firecrackers seen to go off in our galaxy in recorded history, the titanic supernova explosion of a massive star. The light from the exploding star reached Earth 320 years ago, nearly a century before our United States celebrated its birth with a blow. The dead star's shredded remains are called Cassiopeia A, or “” Cas A”” for short. Cas A is the youngest known supernova remnant in our Milky Way Galaxy and resides 10,000 light - years away in the constellation Cassiopeia, so the star actually blew up 10,000 years before the light reached Earth in the late 1600s. This stunning Hubble image of Cas A is allowing astronomers to study the supernova's remains with great clarity, showing for the first time that the debris is arranged into thousands of small, cooling knots of gas. This material eventually will be recycled into building new generations of stars and planets. Our own Sun and planets are constructed from the debris of supernovae that exploded billions of years ago. This photo shows the upper rim of the supernova remnant's expanding shell. Near the top of the image are dozens of tiny clumps of matter. Each small clump, originally just a small fragment of the star, is tens of times larger than the diameter of our solar system. The colors highlight parts of the debris where chemical elements are glowing. The dark blue fragments, for example, are richest in oxygen; the red material is rich in sulfur. The star that created this colorful show was a big one, about 15 to 25 times more massive than our Sun. Massive stars like the one that created Cas A have short lives. They use up their supply of nuclea
