In the sky, the three brightest galaxies visible on Earth: the two galaxies of the Magellan Cloud, and opposite it towards the right middle of the image, the galaxy of Andromede. 360 degrees panorama. The following image was taken at new Moon (No Moon light), middle of the night (minimum zodiacal light effect), in the Atacama desert close to Paranal observatory (no light pollution). The chosen place for this picture has the particularity to be located at a latitude which value is close to the declination of the galactic southern pole. The picture was therefore also taken when the galactic pole passes at zenith, ensuring that there is no Milky Way up in the sky. The Large (LMC) and Small (SMC) Magellanic clouds are visible to the left, Orion constellation with Barnard loop to the right, California Nebula and 'tiny' Andromeda galaxy to the right while the Milky Way is visible all around the image on the horizon line / Bridgeman Images

PIX4575478: Un X au premier quartier de Lune - First Quarter Moon and The Lunar X - La Lune seen on March 3, 2009, about twenty hours before the first quarter. Down the image, close to the terminator, a white “” x” is visible. Easily observable in binoculars, this formation is visible only a few hours a month, shortly before the first moonquarter. This particular formation appears when the Sun illuminates the walls of Blanchinus, La Caille and Purbach crateres. The Lunar “” X”” is an interesting formation created by the walls of craters Blanchinus, La Caille and Purbach that appears in the form of the letter X when illuminated by the Sun for a brief period of time around first quarter. The formation is also known as the Purbach Cross and the Werner X. The optical illusion is relatively unknown because it is visible for only about 4 hours just before first quarter. The X stands out when just the rims of the craters are illuminated and the floors are in the deep shadows of lunar night along the terminator. When the Sun shines into the craters, the X blends into its surroundings, looking like the normal cratered lunar landscape. These photos were taken at approximately 6:59 p.m. est (11:59 UT) on March 3, 2009. First quarter occurred at 2:46 a.m. east (7:46 UT) on March 4 / Bridgeman Images

PIX4605945: Juno Probe - Solar Panels - Juno Solar Panels - View of the solar panels of the Juno probe in operation verification. Launched in 2011, the Juno probe will reach Jupiter in 2016. It will then hold the record for the farthest solar power probe ever sent. Technicians at Astrotech's payload processing facility in Titusville, Fla. stow solar array # 2 against the body of Nasa's Juno spacecraft. Launching from Earth in 2011, the Juno spacecraft will arrive at Jupiter in 2016 to study the giant planet from an elliptical, polar orbit. When Juno arrives at Jupiter in 2016, it will be farther from the sun than any previous solar powered mission. The choice of solar power for Juno necessitates very large solar arrays with dimensions of 2.65 meters wide by 8.9 meters long (about 9 feet wide by 29 feet long). Once in orbit at the giant planet, the three arrays will provide about 450 watts of electricity for Juno / Bridgeman Images

Mission STS-135, the last United States space shuttle mission. This picture of the space shuttle Atlantis was photographed from the International Space Station as the orbiting complex and the shuttle performed their relative separation in the early hours of July 19, 2011. The Raffaello multi - purpose logistics module, which transported tons of supplies to the complex, can be seen in the cargo bay. It is filled with different materials from the station for return to Earth. Onboard the station were Russian cosmonauts Andrey Borisenko, commander; Sergei Volkov and Alexander Samokutyaev, both flight engineers; Japan Aerospace Exploration astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, and NASA astronauts Mike Fossum and Ron Garan, all flight engineers. Onboard the shuttle were NASA astronauts Chris Ferguson, commander; Doug Hurley, pilot; and Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim, both mission specialists / Bridgeman Images
