Halo around the Sun - Sun Halo - Halos are due to the light of the Sun reflected by high-altitude clouds, cirrostratus, composed of ice crystals. They bend the light and cause a perfect circle around the Sun. Halos are caused by sunlight being refracted by cirro - stratus clouds. These are thin clouds, very high in the atmosphere, and are composed of ice crystals. They bend light at a 22 degree angle, which creates a halo around the sun that is 44 degrees in diameter

Rainbow - Rainbow - Rainbow - Arc - en - ciel observed in Brittany on 2 May 2005. 23 minutes before the sun sets, a contrasting rainbow appears in the east. It is very high (the lower the Sun, the higher the bow). Note at the level of the “feet” of the rainbow the difference in luminosite between the interior of the rainbow (under the main arch) and the band between the main arch and the secondary arch (lower and higher). This dark band is called Alexander's Band. It should also be noted that blue is almost absent from the rainbow, because the Sun is setting, therefore orange, betrays a blue light faults that can be seen at the level of the rainbow. May 2, 2005. 23 minutes before the sunset, a contrasted rainbow appear toward the East. It's a tall rainbow, because the Sun is low. Notice the difference of luminosity at the “” feet”” of the rainbow between the inside of the rainbow (under the main arc) and the band located between the main and secondary arcs (fainter and higher). This darker band is called the Alexander's dark band. Notice too that the blue tints are missing in the rainbow, because the sun is setting, so is orange, which means that its blue tints are absent

Noctulescent clouds - Noctilucent clouds - Noctilucent clouds, very high altitude clouds, photographs in July 2009 in Russia. These rare clouds are called noctilucent or “” night shining” as they seem to glow in the dark. They are caused by ice crystals at about 80 km altitude. These crystals reflect sunlight when the sun is well below the horizon. They are properly known as polar mesospheric clouds and are under intense study as it remains a mystery as to how they are formed. Image taken in july 2009 in Russia

James Webb Space Telescope Mirrors (JWST) - Testing of the JWST's mirrors: Six of the 18 JWST (James Webb Space Telescope) mirrors seen at Nasa's Marshall Space Center. These mirrors will be tested there to ensure they will withstand the extreme temperatures of space vacuum. The JWST will replace the Hubble Space Telescope in 2018. Team with a 6.5 m mirror, he will observe the universe mainly in infrared - Six of the 18 James Webb Space Telescope mirror segments are being moved into the X-ray and Cryogenic Facility, or XRCF, at Nasa's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., to eventually experience temperatures dipping to a chilling -414 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure they can withstand the extreme space environments. The test chamber takes approximately five days to cool a mirror segment to cryogenic temperatures. Marshall's X-ray & Cryogenic Facility is the world's largest X-ray telescope test facility and a unique, cryogenic, clean room optical test location. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, infrared-optimized space telescope scheduled for launch in 2018. Equipped with a large mirror 6.5 meters (21.3 feet) in diameter, it will find the first galaxies that formed in the early Universe, connecting the Big Bang to our own Milky Way Galaxy and will reside in an orbit about 1.5 million km (1 million miles) from the Earth

Satellite Herschel - Illustration - Artist's view of the European satellite Herschel. The Herschel Space Observatory, launched in 2009, studies the formation of galaxies, stars and planetary systems in the infrared. This satellite measures nearly 7 metres high by 4.3 metres wide and weighs 3.25 tonnes. Its telescope has a 3.5-meter mirror, making it the largest mirror ever made for a scientific space mission. Herschel is in orbit around Lagrange 2, approximately 1.5 million kilometres from Earth. ESA's Herschel Space Observatory (formerly called Far Infrared and Submillimetre Telescope or FIRST) studies the mystery of how stars and galaxies were born. Objects such as other planetary systems, or processes like the birth of galaxies in the early universe, can best be studied with infrared space telescopes in space. This is the reason for Esa's Herschel. ESA's Herschel Space Observatory is bigger and better than any of its predecessors. Moreover, it observes at wavelengths never covered before. It is located 1.5 million kilometers away from Earth, farther than any previous space telescope. Launched in 2009, Herschel is one the Cornerstone missions ESA's Horizons 2000 programme. Herschel is a key project space astronomy in the next millennium

Their” floating” is restricted via tethers to safety slide wires. Thanks to the tether and slide wire combination, Peterson is able to translate, or move, along the port side hand rails. First called STA-099, Challenger was built to serve as a test vehicle for the Space Shuttle program. Challenger, the second orbiter to join Nasa's Space Shuttle fleet, arrived at Kennedy Space Center in Florida in July 1982. Challenger launched on her maiden voyage, STS - 6, on April 4, 1983 and saw the first spacewalk of the shuttle program, as well as the deployment of the first satellite - - the Tracking and Data Relay System. The orbiter launched the first American woman, Sally Ride, into space on mission STS - 7 and was the first to carry two U.S. female astronauts on mission STS - 41 - G. The first orbiter to launch and land at night on mission STS - 8, Challenger also made the first Space Shuttle landing at Kennedy Space Center, concluding mission STS 41 - B. Spacelabs 2 and 3 flew aboard the ship on missions STS 51 - F and STS 51 - B, as did the first German - dedicated Spacelab on STS 61 - A. A host of scientific experiments and satellite deployments were performed during Challenger's missions. Challenger's service to America's space program ended in tragedy on Jan. 28, 1986. Just 73 seconds into mission STS - 51L, a booster failure caused an explosion that resulted in the loss of seven astronauts, as well as the vehicle
