PIX4583376: The Moon passes by the Sun - Moon and Sun seen by SDO: The Moon passes by the Sun from the SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory) satellite on January 30, 2014 (9:58 AM EST). Nasa's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of the moon crossing in front of its view of the sun on Jan. 30, 2014, at 9:58 a.m. EST in 171 and 304 angstrom light. The two wavelengths are blended together / Bridgeman Images
LBY4583611: Chateau de Chambord (Loir et Cher). From 1519 and for more than thirty years, 1800 workers worked in the construction of Chambord. If the shadow of Leonard de Vinci (Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, 1452-1519) friend of the king and official architect hovers on the surprising double-revolution staircase, the author of this strange, yet uninhabitable residence is unknown., Boegly, Luc / Bridgeman Images
PIX4583617: Illustration of a triple system of asteroids - Triple system of asteroids -Artwork - Artist's view of two small asteroids (Romulus and Remus) orbiting asteroid 87 Sylvia. Sylvia is about 380 km long and is one of the largest members of the asteroid belt. Two small asteroids are orbiting a larger one known since 1866 as 87 Sylvia. Sylvia is measuring 380 x 260 x 230 km; its moons are considerably smaller, orbiting in nearly circular orbits and in the same plane and direction. The closest and newly discovered moonlet, orbiting about 710 km from Sylvia, is Remus, a body only 7 km across and circling Sylvia every 33 hours. The second, Romulus, orbits at about 1360 km in 87.6 hours and measures about 18 km across. The asteroid 87 Sylvia is one of the largest known from the asteroid main belt, and is located about 3.5 times further away from the Sun than the Earth, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter / Bridgeman Images

PIX4583033: Remains of the Crab Supernova (M1) in the Taurus - M1, the Crab Nebula, is the rest of a supernova that exploded in July or August 1054. It is located about 7000 light years from Earth in the constellation Taurus. At the heart of this nebula is a pulsar. Image obtained from photo plates made at the 5m telescope of Mount Palomar in February 1956 / Bridgeman Images
PIX4582989: Remains of Supernova 1E0102.2 - 7219 - The Hubble Space Telescope photographed the remains of a supernova, a massive late-life star that exploded. Located 210,000 years of light from Earth, in the galaxy of the Little Magellan Cloud, 1E0102.2 - 7219 is now dissipated into blue filaments visible in the center of the image. At 50 years - light from the, top right, stars are born in a large gas cloud, the star-forming region N76 (Henize 1956). Composite images obtained in October 2003 and July 1995 with the ACS camera and the large field planetary camera / Bridgeman Images
