PIX4634059: Banks of the Bahamas seen from space - Great Bahamas Bank: Image obtained on 5 February 2014 by the Landsat-8 satellite. Underwater structures of the Great Bahamas Bank are pictured in this image from the Landsat-8 satellite on 5 February 2014. Sitting north of Cuba, the bank is made of limestone - mainly from the skeletal fragments of marine organisms - that has been accumulating for over 100 million years. Currents sculpted these underwater sediments into the wavy pattern we see along the bottom of the image, just a few meters deep. We can clearly see where the shallow waters drop off into the deep, dark water of an area known as the Tongue of the Ocean. With depths of up to about 4000 m, this trench surrounded by islands, reefs and shoals has an opening to the Atlantic Ocean at its northern end (not pictured). Over the deep Tongue we can see a few sparse clouds / Bridgeman Images
PIX4634063: Hurricane Irma seen by satellite 09/2017 - Hurricane Irma 09/2017: Hurricane Irma on September 6, 2017. Image obtained by the American satellite GOES-16. GOES-16 captured this geocolor image of Hurricane Irma approaching Anguilla at about 7:15 am (eastern), September 6, 2017. Irma's maximum sustained winds remain near 185 mph with higher gusts, making it a category 5 hurricane on the Saffirm-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. This image, captured as daylight moves into the area, offers a blend of both, with nighttime features on the left side of the image and daytime on the right / Bridgeman Images
PIX4594625: Southern constellations around the Clock - Southern constellations around Horologium - Southern constellations around the Clock. The two bright stars are Canopus (bottom) and Achernar. This wide angle image includes Horologium, Phoenix and Pictor, insignificant constellations roughly centred on an arc of delination 50* south, but at a scale too small to show the star identifications and stick figures. Horologium, the Pendulum Clock (originally l'Horloge and then Horologium Oscillitorium), was a constellation introduced by Abbe Nicolas Louis de Lacaille during his stay at the Cape of Good Hope between 1751 and 1752. It was named to honor Christian Huygens as the inventor of this type of clock, but the idea for such a method of regulating time came from Galileo. Lacaille's constellation drawing shows a remarkably detailed dial, weights and a pendulum that has little apparent connection with the scattering of faint stars in this part of the sky. There are no named stars and little else in Horologium to attract the eye of the casual observer. Phoenix, the Phoenix, is a long - lived mythological, eagle - like bird with vivid plumage. The word has entered the language as an entity that is able to resurrect itself after a firey death in its nest. The cycle of death and rebirth may have symbolised the rising and setting of the Sun. On the sky Phoenix is hemmed in on two sides by other birds in Grus and Tucana and a large snake in the form of Eridanus. The constellation was invented by the Dutch navigators Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman, and first appeared in Johan Beyer's altas of 1603. The only named star in Phoenix is Ankaa. Pictor was also named by Lacaille during his sojourn at the Cape of Good Hope. He originally called it le Easel et la Palette, the easel and palette and later Equuleus Pictorius, soon shortened to Pictor. It requires the imagination of an artist to find anything like an easle here. The constellation runs between Ca / Bridgeman Images
