Traces of flow on Mars - Mars: gullies on impact crater wall - Gullies along a wall of an impact crater (Hale crater). These ravines are thought to indicate the presence of liquid water in the Martian basement. Image obtained by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter probe on August 3, 2009. Gullies, on Earth, are usually formed through the action of liquid water. Whether gullies form under today's cold dry conditions on Mars is a major question that planetary scientists are trying to answer. The gullies pictured here in Hale crater are great examples of what a typical Martian gully looks like. Wide V - shaped channels running downhill (from top to bottom) where the material that carved the gully flowed. At the bottom of the channel this material empties out onto a fan - shaped mound. Several gullies are visible here and the fans from each gully overlap one other in complicated ways. Image taken on August 3, 2009 by the HIRISE camera on Nasa's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter

Sol de Mars seen by the Phoenix probe - Mars: Phoenix landing site - Image obtained by the Phoenix probe shortly after its successful landing on the Mars surface on May 25, 2008. The probe landed on a vast plain north of the planet in the Vastitas Borealis region. This image, one of the first captured by Nasa's Phoenix Mars Lander, shows the vast plains of the northern polar region of Mars. The flat landscape is strewn with tiny pebbles and shows polygonal cracking, a pattern seen widely in Martian high latitudes and also observed in permafrost terrains on Earth. The polygonal cracking is believed to have resulted from seasonal freezing and thawing of surface ice. Phoenix touched down on the Red Planet at 4:53 p.m. Pacific Time (7:53 p.m. Eastern Time), May 25, 2008, in an arctic region called Vastitas Borealis, at 68 degrees north latitude, 234 degrees east longitude. This is an approximate - color image taken shortly after landing by the spacecraft's Surface Stereo Imager, inferred from two color filters, a violet, 450 - nanometer filter and an infrared, 750 - nanometer filter

Martian dunes in Spring - March: Frost - covered dunes in crater - Detail on dunes in a crater located near the north pole of Mars. Clearly, areas covered with carbon dioxide gel appear on this image obtained by the HIRISE camera of the Mars Reconnaissance probe orbiter on January 1, 2010. HIRISE is a 50 cm telescope that observes visible and near infrared Dunes are often found on crater floors. In the winter time at high northern latitudes the terrain is covered by carbon dioxide ice (dry ice). In the spring as this seasonal ice evaporates many unusual features unique to Mars are visible. On the floor of this crater where there are no dunes, the ice forms an uninterrupted layer. On the dunes however, dark streaks form as surface material from below the ice is mobilized and deposited on top of the ice. In some cases this mobile material probably slides down the steep face of the dune, while in other cases it may be literally blown out in a process of gas release similar to removing a cork from a champagne bottle.

Orion nebula centre - Trapeze - Orion nebula center - Mosaic of images obtained by the space telescope in 1994 and 1995 showing the center of Orion nebula, the region around the Trapeze, a cluster of 4 very young and massive stars that make this nebula shine. The picture shows a churning turbulent star factory set within a maelstrom of flowing, luminescent gas. Although this 2.5 light - years wide view is still a small portion of the entire Orion nebula, it includes almost all of the light from the bright glowing clouds of gas and a star cluster associated with the nebula. Hubble reveals details as small as 4.1 billion miles across. Hubble Space Telescope observing time was devoted to making this panorama because the nebula is a vast laboratory for studying the processes which gave birth to our own Sun and solar system 4.5 billion years ago. Gas are illuminated and heated by a torrent of energetic ultraviolet light from its four hottest and most massive stars, called the Trapezium, which lie near the center of the image. In addition to the Trapezium, this stellar cavern contains 700 hundred other young stars at various stages of formation. High - speed jets of hot gas spewed by some of the infant stars send supersonic shock waves tearing into the nebula at 100,000 miles per hour. These shock waves appear as thin curved loops, sometimes with bright knots on their end (the brightest examples are near the bright star at the lower left). The mosaic reveals at least 153 glowing protoplanetary disks (first discovered with the Hubble in 1992, and dubbed “” proplyds”) that are believed to be embryonic solar systems that will eventually form planets. (Our solar system has long been considered the relic of just such a disk that formed around the newborn Sun). The abundance of such objects in the Orion nebula strengthens the argument that planet formation is a common occurrence in the universe. The proplyds that are closest to the Trapezium stars (image c

Nebula NGC 3372 in the Carene in false colours - NGC 3372 Carina nebula - The nebula of the Carene is located about 8000 years - light from the Earth. It is home to many hot stars, including the massive star Eta Carinae in the centre of the nebula. Top right is the cluster of stars NGC 3293. Image obtained from the 1.2m Schmidt UK telescope of Siding Spring. Although no bright naked - eye stars are associated with the Carina nebula now, 150 years ago there blazed forth here one of the most unusual and peculiar stars ever seen. The star is known as Eta Carinae and for a few months in 1843 it was the second or third brightest star in the sky. Since then it has faded and is today about 1000 times fainter than it was at its brightest as the nebula it created during its outburst has cooled and become opaque. The whole region around Eta Carinae is rich in hot stars of which Eta is an extreme example and it is their combined radiation that produces the spectacular Carina nebula that dominates this picture. The nebula and its peculiar star are about 8000 light years away

Orion Nebula - the trapeze - The Trapezium region in M42 - Located 1500 years - light, Orion Nebula is the closest region of formation of stars of the Sun. In the center of the picture, the Trapeze of Orion. The Trapeze is among the youngest known open clusters, it is made up of 4 massive stars that make the nebula shine. Image obtained from the 1.5m Danish telescope of La Silla in Chile. The central 'star' of the three groups forming the asterism of Orion's sword is in reality a nebula, and is clearly nebulous to the unaided eye. At the heart of the most luminous nebulosity shimmer a handful of stars known as the Trapezium cluster, visible in binoculars. These are the brightest members of a substantial cluster of stars, most of which are still hidden in the dusty recesses of the Orion nebula against which they are seen. The stars of the Trapezium provide much of the energy which makes the brilliant Orion Nebula visible and are at a distance of about 1500 light years. This image was made at the danish 1.5 meter telescope in La Silla, Chile

The stars of the Trapezium provide much of the energy which makes the brilliant Orion Nebula visible and are at a distance of about 1500 light years. This image was made at the danish 1.5 meter telescope in La Silla, Chile

PIX4617817: Orion Nebula - the trapeze - The Trapezium region in M42 - Located 1500 years - light, Orion Nebula is the closest region of formation of stars of the Sun. In the center of the picture, the Trapeze of Orion. The Trapeze is among the youngest known open clusters, it is made up of 4 massive stars that make the nebula shine. Image obtained from the 1.5m Danish telescope of La Silla in Chile. The central 'star' of the three groups forming the asterism of Orion's sword is in reality a nebula, and is clearly nebulous to the unaided eye. At the heart of the most luminous nebulosity shimmer a handful of stars known as the Trapezium cluster, visible in binoculars. These are the brightest members of a substantial cluster of stars, most of which are still hidden in the dusty recesses of the Orion nebula against which they are seen. The stars of the Trapezium provide much of the energy which makes the brilliant Orion Nebula visible and are at a distance of about 1500 light years.
