PIX4646096: Mirror of the Herschel satellite - Herschel spacecraft's mirror - Inspection of the mirror of the European Herschel satellite. The Herschel Space Observatory, scheduled to launch in 2009, will study in the infrared the formation of galaxies, stars and planetary systems. This satellite measures nearly 7 metres high by 4.3 metres wide and weighs 3.25 tonnes. Its telescope has a 3.5-meter mirror, making it the largest mirror ever made for a scientific space mission. Herschel will orbit around Lagrange 2, approximately 1.5 million kilometres from Earth. The gigantic telescope of ESA's space - based infrared observatory, Herschel, is being prepared to be assembled with its spacecraft. Herschel's telescope, which will carry the largest mirror ever flown in space, has been delivered to ESA's European Space Research and Technology Centre, ESTEC, where engineers and scientists are busy with the final steps that will prepare the infrared observatory for launch in 2009. ESA's Herschel Space Observatory will observe at wavelengths never covered before. It will be located 1.5 million kilometers away from Earth, farther than any previous space telescope / Bridgeman Images

PIX4615764: Martian surface seen by Spirit in 2008 - Martian surface seen from the rover Spirit in 2008 - 360 degres panorama obtained by the Martian rover Spirit from February 28 to October 5, 2008. The 246 images that make up this panorama were taken from a tray called the Home Plate. The hill has the horizon on the right is Husband Hill. The hill on the left is McCool Hill. The Rover Spirit landed on Mars in the Gusev crater area on July 4, 2004. This 360 - degree panorama shows the vista from the location where Nasa's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit has spent its third Martian southern - hemisphere winter inside Mars' Gusev Crater. The rover's overwintering location is on the northern edge of a low plateau informally called “Home Plate,””” which is about 80 meters or 260 feet in diameter. This view combines 246 different exposures taken with Spirit's panoramic camera (Pancam) - - 82 pointings, with three filters at each pointing. Spirit took the first of these frames during the mission's 1,477th Martian day, or sol, (February 28, 2008) two weeks after the rover made its last move to reach the location where it would stop driving for the winter. Solar energy at Gusev Crater is so limited during the Martian winter that Spirit does not generate enough electricity to drive, nor even enough to take many images per day. The last frame for this mosaic was taken on Sol 1691 (October 5, 2008). Spirit began moving again on Sol 1709 (October 23, 2008), inching uphill to adjust the angle of its solar panels for the last portion of the winter. The hill on the horizon at far right is Husband Hill, to the north. Spirit acquired a 360 - degree panorama from the summit of Husband Hill during August 2005. The hill dominating the left portion of the image is McCool Hill. Husband and McCool hills are two of the seven principal hills in the Columbia Hills range within Gusev Crater. Home Plate is in the inner basin of the range. The northwestern edge of Home Plate is visible in th / Bridgeman Images
