PIX4597125: Apollo 14: E. Mitchell on the Moon - Apollo 14: E. Mitchell moonwalk - Extravehicular release of Edgar Mitchell with a map. 05/02/1971. Astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell, lunar module pilot, moves across the lunar surface as he looks over a traverse map during an extravehicular activity (EVA). Lunar dust can be seen clinging to the boots and legs of the space suit. Astronauts Alan B. Shepard Jr., commander, and Mitchell explored the lunar surface while astronaut Stuart A. Roosa, command module pilot, orbited the moon in the Command and Service Modules (CSM) / Bridgeman Images

PIX4597336: Apollo 15: J. Irwin on the Moon - Jim Irwin works at the LRV during Apollo 15 EVA - 1 - Irwin works near the Lunar Roving Vehicle. 31/07/1971. Astronaut James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot, works at the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) during the first Apollo 15 lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA) at the Hadley - Apennine landing site (31 July 1971). The Lunar Module (LM) “” Falcon””” is on the left. The undeployed Laser Ranging Reflector (LR - 3) lies atop the LM's modular equipment stowage assembly (MESA). This view is looking slightly west of south. Hadley Delta and the Apennine Front are in the background to the left. St. George crater is approximately five kilometers (about three statute miles) in the distance behind Irwin's head. This photograph was taken by astronaut David R. Scott, commander. While astronauts Scott and Irwin descended in the LM to explore the moon, astronaut Alfred M. Worden, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) in lunar orbit / Bridgeman Images
PIX4573429: Artist's view of a hot Jupiter HD 149026b - Exoplanet HD 149026b - Hot Jupiter - HD 149026b (in the background) is to date the hottest exoplanet in the universe. This warm Jupiter reaches a temperature of 2000 degrees; it absorbs almost all the light of its star and is therefore also the darkest planet in the universe. HD 149026b is located 256 years - light in the constellation Hercules. This artist's concept illustrates the hottest planet yet observed in the universe. This “” hot Jupiter”” called HD 149026b, is a sweltering 3,700 degrees Fahrenheit (2,040 degrees Celsius) - about 3 times hotter than the rocky surface of Venus, the hottest planet in our solar system. The planet is so hot that astronomers believe it is absorbing almost all of the heat from its star, and reflecting very little to no light. Objects that reflect no sunlight are black. Consequently, HD 149026b might be the blackest known planet in the universe, in addition to the hottest. HD 149026b is located 256 light - years away in the constellation Hercules. It is the smallest known transiting planet, with a size similar to Saturn's and a suspected dense core 70 to 90 times the mass of Earth. It speeds around its star every 2.9 days / Bridgeman Images
