Astronaut John Grunsfeld, STS - 125 mission specialist, positioned on a foot restraint on the end of Atlantis' remote manipulator system (RMS), and astronaut Andrew Feustel (bottom center), mission specialist, participate in the mission's fifth and final session of extravehicular activity (EVA) as work continues to refurbish and upgrade the Hubble Space Telescope. During the seven - hour and two - minute spacewalk, Grunsfeld and Feustel installed a battery group replacement, removed and replaced a Fine Guidance Sensor and three thermal blankets (NOBL) protecting Hubble's electronics. 18 May 2009 / Bridgeman Images

PIX4645744: James Webb Space Telescope Mirrors (JWST) - Testing of the JWST's mirrors - Six of the 18 JWST (James Webb Space Telescope) mirrors seen at Nasa's Marshall Space Center. These mirrors will be tested there to ensure they will withstand the extreme temperatures of space vacuum. The JWST will replace the Hubble Space Telescope in 2014. Equipped with a 6.5 m mirror, he will observe the universe mainly in infrared. Six of the 18 James Webb Space Telescope mirror segments are being moved into the X - ray and Cryogenic Facility, or XRCF, at Nasa's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., to eventually experience temperatures dipping to a chilling - 414 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure they can withstand the extreme space environments. The test chamber takes approximately five days to cool a mirror segment to cryogenic temperatures. Marshall's X - ray & Cryogenic Facility is the world's largest X - ray telescope test facility and a unique, cryogenic, clean room optical test location. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, infrared - optimized space telescope scheduled for launch in 2014. Equipped with a large mirror 6.5 meters (21.3 feet) in diameter, it will find the first galaxies that formed in the early Universe, connecting the Big Bang to our own Milky Way Galaxy and will reside in an orbit about 1.5 million km (1 million miles) from the Earth / Bridgeman Images

PIX4625230: Tempete sur Saturn seen by the Cassini probe - Huge Storm on Saturn seen by Cassini spacecraft - Evolution of a huge tempete on Saturn seen by the Cassini probe from December 5, 2010 to August 12, 2011. This series of images from Nasa's Cassini spacecraft shows the development of the largest storm seen on the planet since 1990. These true - color and composite near - true - color views chronicle the storm from its start in late 2010 through mid - 2011, showing how the distinct head of the storm quickly grew large but eventually became engulfed by the storm's tail. The earliest image of the storm, taken Dec. 5, 2010, is in the top left of the panel. The storm appears only as a small, white cloud on the terminator between the day side and night side of the planet. The next view, in the top middle of the panel and taken Jan. 2, 2011, shows that the head quickly grew much larger and a tail began to trail a great distance eastward. Some of the clouds moved south and got caught up in a current that flows to the east (to the right) relative to the storm head. In the top right of the panel, this tail, which appears as slightly blue clouds south and now west (left) of the storm head, can be seen encountering the storm in the Feb. 25 image.The April 22 image, in the bottom left of the panel, is one of Cassini's last views of the storm when it still had a recognizable head. In this view, the tail is south of the head and is well established by this time.The May 18 view, in the bottom middle, shows only the storm's tail. The head still existed at this time, but it is beyond the horizon and out of the field of view here.Between the time of the May 18 image and the next image shown here (from Aug. 12), the head of the storm was engulfed by the part of the storm's tail that spread eastward at the same latitude as the head. The Aug. 12 image, in the bottom right, shows that the head has lost its distinct identity and is now just part of the jumble of the storm. Also visible in these / Bridgeman Images

PIX4625340: Titan, Saturn satellite seen by Cassini - Saturn's moon Titan as seen by Cassini spacecraft: Visible and infrared composite image of Titan taken by the Cassini probe on August 21, 2014. View of methane and ethane lakes lit by the Sun. - This near-infrared, color mosaic from Nasa's Cassini spacecraft shows the sun glinting off of Titan's north polar seas. - The sunglint, also called a specular reflection, is the bright area near the 11 o'clock position at upper left. This mirror-like reflection, known as the specular point, is in the south of Titan's largest sea, Kraken Mare, just north of an island archipelago separating two separate parts of the sea - This particular sunglint was so bright as to saturate the detector of Cassini's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) instrument, which captures the view. - The southern portion of Kraken Mare (the area surrounding the specular feature toward upper left) displays a “” bathtub ring”” - a bright margin of evaporate deposits - which indicates that the sea was larger at some point in the past and has become smaller due to evaporation. The deposits are material left behind after the methane & ethane liquid evaporates, somewhat akin to the saline crust on a salt flat / Bridgeman Images
