Aquarius Constellations, Capricorn, Austral Fish and Microscope - Constellations of Aquarius, Capricorn, Piscis Austrinus, Microscopium - Field around the Aquarius constellation. The Helix planetary nebula appears as a red dot towards the center of the image. Aquarius (The Water Carrier) is a large but relatively insconspicuous southern zodiacal constellation and has an area of about 980 square degrees, which makes it the 10th largest. Its origins as a constellation can be traced back to Babylonian times and has usually been delineated as a figure pouring water from a jar in the general direction of Capricornus and Piscis Austrinus, themselves quite watery constellations. The Sun is in this part of the sky in February and March, following the Ecliptic. The constellation embraces many objects of telescopic interest, including the Helix nebula and the Mira - like variable star R Aquarii. Also notable are the globular clusters M2 (NGC 7089) and the Saturn planetary nebula NGC 7009. Best seen in the early evening in August

China - Yellow River Delta in 1999 - China - Yellow River delta in 1999 - Huang He is the second longest river in China and the most sediments-loaded river in the world. On his journey from Tibet, he erodes more than a million tons of sediments every year and takes on alluvial or his nickname the Yellow River. It flows into the Yellow Sea, via the Gulf of Bohai, where its delta extends over 36,000 km. In 1996, Chinese engineers derive the river causing a withdrawal of the delta and the formation of a new peninsula to the north. Image obtained by one of the Landsat satellites in 1999. China's Huang He (Yellow River) is the most sediment - filled river on Earth. In the lower reaches, where the current slows, the natural accumulation of sediment in the riverbed has caused the river to change course often in the past. Since the mid-nineteenth century, however, the lower reaches of the river and the delta have been extensively engineered to control flooding and to protect coastal development. This natural - color image from Nasa's Landsat satellite shows the Yellow River Delta at the river mouth in 1999. In 1989, the river's main channel emptied into the Bohai Sea in a southeast - bending arc. In 1996, Chinese engineers blocked the main channel and forced the river to veer northeast. By 1999, erosion and settling along the old channel caused the tip of the delta to retreat, while a new peninsula had formed to the north

Jeju volcanic island, South Korea - Jeju volcanic island, South Korea - Jeju volcanic island seen by Landsat satellite - 7 on April 6, 2000. This island, classified as a World Heritage Site, is home to the highest peak of South Korea, Mount Halla (1950 m), a volcano shield whose last eruption dates back to 1007. Cheju Island, is an oval - shaped volcanic landmass covering 1,845 square kilometers (712 square miles) off the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula. Geologists estimate the island's age at 2 million years, and archaeological finds suggest that people have lived on the island since prehistoric times. Today, Cheju is both a tourist attraction and home to an UNESCO World Heritage site. The Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus on Nasa's Landsat - 7 satellite captured this image of Cheju Island on April 6, 2000. In this photo - like image, cloudless skies allow a clear view of the island and the swirling blue hues of the surrounding waters. Urbanized areas, such as the capital city, Cheju, appear in shades of gray - beige along the island's perimeter. Inland, a combination of natural vegetation, cultivated fields, and bare ground creates a patchwork of tan and green. The island's dominant feature is Halla Mountain, a volcano whose last recorded eruption occurred in the year 1007. Halla Mountain is a shield volcano with a low, broad profile resembling an ancient warrior shield. It is one of the world's few shield volcanoes located over a magma hotspot”” on a stationary plate of continental crust. Rising to a height of 1,950 meters (6,398 feet), Halla Mountain is the highest peak in South Korea, and the volcano's crater holds a natural lake and numerous waterfalls. Lava tubes from the volcano have formed a network of caves complete with lava walls with carbonate rock formations. The rarity of these features combined with their instructiveness about volcanic processes has earned the site its World Heritage status.

Japet, satellite of Saturn, seen by Cassini - Crescent of Iapetus seen by Cassini spacecraft. - Mosaic in fake colors of Japet, a satellite of 1436 kilometers in diameter, taken by the Cassini probe on 10 September 2007 has a distance of 83 000 km from the satellite. Iapetus, 1,468 kilometers (912 miles) across, seen here in false color, is unique in its dramatic variation in brightness between the northern polar region and the middle and low latitudes. Equally prominent is the moon's equatorial ridge of towering mountains. The profile of the ridge against the darkness of space reveals that it is topped by a cratered plateau approximately 15 kilometers (9 miles) wide. Further west, the profile of the ridge changes from a long plateau to discrete peaks. The mosaic consists of four image footprints across the surface of Iapetus and has a resolution of 489 meters (0.3 miles) per pixel. The color seen in this view represents an expansion of the wavelength region of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to human eyes. The intense reddish - brown hue of the dark material is far less pronounced in true color images. The use of enhanced color makes the reddish character of the dark material more visible than it would be to the naked eye. In addition, the scene has been brightened to improve the visibility of surface features. This view was acquired with the Cassini spacecraft narrow - angle camera on Sept. 10, 2007, at a distance of about 83,000 kilometers (51,600 miles) from Iapetus

The use of enhanced color makes the reddish character of the dark material more visible than it would be to the naked eye. In addition, the scene has been brightened to improve the visibility of surface features. This view was acquired with the Cassini spacecraft narrow - angle camera on Sept. 10, 2007, at a distance of about 83,000 kilometers (51,600 miles) from Iapetus / Bridgeman Images

Japet, satellite of Saturn, seen by Cassini - Crescent of Iapetus seen by Cassini spacecraft. - Mosaic in fake colors of Japet, a satellite of 1436 kilometers in diameter, taken by the Cassini probe on 10 September 2007 has a distance of 83 000 km from the satellite. Iapetus, 1,468 kilometers (912 miles) across, seen here in false color, is unique in its dramatic variation in brightness between the northern polar region and the middle and low latitudes. Equally prominent is the moon's equatorial ridge of towering mountains. The profile of the ridge against the darkness of space reveals that it is topped by a cratered plateau approximately 15 kilometers (9 miles) wide. Further west, the profile of the ridge changes from a long plateau to discrete peaks. The mosaic consists of four image footprints across the surface of Iapetus and has a resolution of 489 meters (0.3 miles) per pixel. The color seen in this view represents an expansion of the wavelength region of the electromagnetic spec

Hubble deep field north - Hubble Deep Field North - North of the constellation of the Great Bear, the Hubble space telescope posed 75h to obtain this image of the distant universe. More than 1500 galaxies distant from 1 to 12 billion years - light are visible in this image. From Earth, the target field is the one “” that one would see through the eye of a needle held at arm's length.” If the distribution of galaxies over the entire Celestial vault were similar to this field, the number of galaxies observable up to magnitude 30 would be 50 billion. Representing a narrow “” keyhole”” view all the way to the visible horizon of the universe, the HDF image covers a speck of sky 1/30th the diameter of the full Moon. This is so narrow, just a few foreground stars in our Milky Way galaxy are visible and are vastly outnumbered by the menagerie of far more distant galaxies, some nearly as faint as 30th magnitude, or nearly four billion times fainter than the limits of human vision. Although the field is a very small sample of sky area it is considered representative of the typical distribution of galaxies in space because the universe, statistically, looks the same in all directions. The image was assembled from many separate exposures with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 for ten consecutive days between December 18 to 28, 1995

The Sculptor dwarf galaxy is one of our Milky Way's neighbouring dwarf galaxies. The Milky Way is, like all large galaxies, thought to have formed from smaller galaxies in the early days of the Universe. These small galaxies should also contain many very old stars, just as the Milky Way does, and a team of astronomers has now shown that this is indeed the case.
