TEC4561084: The island of Reel in Chalon sur Saone, dedicated to the Toyota factory in Valenciennes, in the French pavilion of the Aichi World Exposition in Japan, 2005. The artist Lilian Bourgeat has suspended a gigantic light bulb of 50 meters in diameter that only lights up under the combined push of several visitors. At the origin of this project, the city of Chalon sur Saone, which has partnered with a non-governmental organization, W.W.F, the agency for the environment and the management of energy as well as the house of the environment to demonstrate that at the scale of a territory it is possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions more efficiently than do not provide for this in the Kyoto agreements. / Bridgeman Images

Two Manned Maneuvering Vehicles (MMVs) explores the airless, microgravity environment of a small asteroid. Given the almost total lack of gravity the MMVs are free to navigate the environment like one-man submersibles at the bottom of an ocean / Bridgeman Images

PIX4580071: Laminate structures near the north pole on Mars - Layers Exposed at North Polar Cap on Mars: Laminated structures near the north polar cap of Mars. These different layers of ice and girders correspond to climatic variations over the last ten thousand years. Image obtained on 18 April 2016 by the HIRISE camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance orbiter probe. HIRISE is a 50 cm telescope that observes visible and near infrared. At the edge of Mars' permanent North Polar cap, we see an exposure of the internal layers, each with a different mix of water ice, dust and dirt. These layers are believed to correspond to different climate conditions over the past tens of thousands of years. When we zoom in closer, we see that the distinct layers erode differently. Some are stronger and more resistant to erosion, others only weakly cemented. The strong layers form ledges / Bridgeman Images

PIX4581098: Circumpolar - South Hemisphere - Star trails around the south celestial pole - Photographic pose of several hours around the south celeste pole. Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope dome in the foreground. The reddish color of the sky is due to the volcanic eruption of the Pinatubo. On June 15, 1991, after weeks of rumbling and venting steam and poisonous gas, Mt Pinatubo exploded on the island of Luzon, in the Phillipines. This was the largest volcanic eruption for nearly a century. The eruption killed over 700 people and ejected several cubic kilometers of dust and gas over 35 km high into the stratosphere. The effects were felt around the world and included a temporary global cooling and a thinning of the ozone layer as well as other changes in the global weather pattern. However, the most obvious effect for many people was a milkiness in the daytime sky due to scattering by high altitude aerosols, and corresponding anomalous sunsets and twilights that were noticable for years. This picture was made in early 1992, two hours after sunset, when it is usually completely dark. However, high altitude dust in the stratosphere reflected sunset colours strongly enough for them to be seen (in the sky, at right) and to be reflected again, by the AAT dome. The red reflection was captured in this six - hour exposure. Here the camera is pointing due south, directly at the south celestial pol / Bridgeman Images
