MDA4628860: Viaduc des Arts in Paris 75012. In 1990, the old viaduct of Paris was renovated by Patrick Berger. Built in 1859, it connected the Bastille by rail to Vincennes. The construction of the Opera Bastille will lead to the rehabilitation of the viaduct, rachete a al SNCF by the City Hall of Paris. The vaults desormais restaurees are home to artisans of art and creation. / Bridgeman Images
PIX4629046: Sunset and turbulence - Sunset with strong turbulence - Sunset on the Eckmuehl Lighthouse (Penmarc'h, Finistere) photograph on March 18, 2005. March 20, 2005 was the day of the Spring equinox, when the Sun sets exactly to the west. Sunset on the lighthouse of Eckmuehl (Penmarc'h, Finistere) on March 18, 2005. On March 20, 2005 was the spring equinox, moment where the sun is setting exactly towards the west / Bridgeman Images
PIX4629063: Sunset - September Equinox - Sunset - September equinox - At the September equinox (the 22nd or 23rd depending on the years), the Sun passes from north to south of the equator line on the Celestial vault. Day and night have the same duration, the Sun rises precisely to the east and it really sets to the west. Sunset on september equinox, where the sun is setting exactly toward the west / Bridgeman Images
PIX4639469: Mission habitee vers Mars-Vue d'artiste - Manned mission to Mars - Artist view - Fusee a nuclear propulsion. A nuclear thermal rocket fires upon arrival in the vicinity of Mars to insert the transfer vehicle into orbit. Nuclear propulsion can shorten interplanetary trip times and can reduce the mass launched from Earth. As the primary transfer propulsion system, the spaecraft's reactor would remain inactive until departure from Earth orbit / Bridgeman Images
PIX4639597: Mission to Phobos - Appointment in Earth orbit - Phobos mission rendezvous in Earth orbit - An Orion-type space capsule, with three astronauts on board, joins a launcher in Earth orbit to reach Phobos, one of Mars's satellites. An Orion class command module with a crew of three approaches an awaiting rocket in already in Earth orbit destined for Mars' moon Phobos / Bridgeman Images
PIX4639606: Mission to Phobos - Phobos mission ready for departure - A spaceship assemblies in Earth orbit is ready to depart to Phobos, one of Mars's satellites. This ship consists of several fuel tanks and an Orion-type space capsule with three astronauts on board. No landing gear is required because the mass of Phobos is so low that this satellite can be approached by astronauts in extravehicular exit. A complete rocket system for delivering a crew of three to Mars' moon Phobos and returning them to the Earth. The vast bulk of the rocket is propellant divided into stages that are each released in turn as the mission progresses. On the far right are the crew accomodations and an attached Orion class command module. No dedicated lander is required as Phobos' mass is so low that it could be easily approached by the command module and explored by suited astrogeologists in Manned Maneuvering Units (MMUS) / Bridgeman Images
