Space shuttle Endeavour over Mauritania - Space shuttle above Richat structure, Mauritania - Space shuttle Endeavour seen above the Richat structure, a geological formation of volcanic origin, in Mauritania. Image obtained from the International Space Station (ISS) in 2002. The space shuttle Endeavour above the Richat Structure, a geological formation in the Maur Adrar Desert in the African country of Mauritania. Although it resemble an impact crater, the Richat Structure formed when a volcanic dome hardened and gradually eroded, exposing the onion - like layers of rock. Image taken from the international space station (ISS) in 2002

St. Helene Island - St. Helena Island - St. Helene Island seen from the International Space Station (ISS) on 7 May 2009. Sainte-Helene is located 1860 km off the African coast in the Atlantic Ocean. Saint Helena Island, located in the South Atlantic Ocean approximately 1,860 kilometers (1,156 miles) west of Africa, was one of the many isolated islands that naturalist Charles Darwin visited during his scientific voyages in the nineteenth century. This image was acquired by astronauts onboard the International Space Station on May 7, 2009. This astronaut photograph shows the island's sharp peaks and deep ravines; the rugged topography results from erosion of the volcanic rocks that make up the island. The change in elevation from the coast to the interior creates a climate gradient. The higher, wetter center is covered with green vegetation, whereas the lower coastal areas are drier and hotter, with little vegetation cover. Human presence on the island has also caused dramatic changes to the original plants and animals of the island. Only about 10 percent of the forest cover observed by the first explorers now remains in a semi-natural state, concentrated in the interior highlands. Saint Helena Island is perhaps best known as the final resting place of Napoleon Bonaparte I of France. Bonaparte was exiled to the island following his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815; he died on the island six years later in 1821. Today, the island is a British Overseas Territory, with access provided thirty times a year by a single ship, the Royal Mail Ship St. Helena

Globular cluster M22 in Sagittarius - Globular cluster M22 in Sagittarius - M22 (NGC 6656) is one of the closest globular clusters of the Sun, located about 10 400 years ago - light. Age 12 billion years, it is the third most brilliant globular cluster among the 150 known in the lactee pathway. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). M22 (NGC 6656) is one of the nearest globular clusters to our sun (distance 10 400 light years). Its stars stretch some 200 light years across and its collective brightness ranks it third among the 150 known Milky Way globulars. It is outshined visually only by the two bright southern globulars, Omega Centauri and 47 Tucanae. M22 is considered an old globular cluster having its beginning some 12 billion years ago not long after the formation of the Milky Way

Globular cluster M72 in Aquarius - Globular cluster M72 in Aquarius - M72 (NGC 6981) is a cluster of stars located about 50,000 years from Earth. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. This rich collection of scattered stars, known as Messier 72, is actually a globular cluster, an ancient spherical collection of old stars packed much closer together at its centre. As well as huge numbers of stars in the cluster itself the picture also captures the images of many much more distant galaxies seen between and around the cluster stars. English astronomer Pierre Megchain discovered this rich cluster in August of 1780, but we take Messier 72's most common name from Mechain's colleague Charles Messier, who recorded it as the 72nd entry in his famous catalog of comet - like objects just two months later. This globular cluster lies in the constellation of Aquarius (the Water Bearer) about 50 000 light - years from Earth. This image was taken with the Wide Field Channel of the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The exposure times were about ten minutes per filter and the field of view is about 3.4 arcminutes across

Galaxy cluster Abell 1656 - Coma cluster - The Coma cluster (Abell 1656) - A large cluster of galaxies consists of about a thousand galaxies located 330 million years - light in the constellation Coma Berenices (Berenice hair). This cluster is dominated by two large elliptical galaxies NGC 4874 on the right and NGC 4889 on the left. Image obtained near infrared by a 1.3m (2Mass) telescope. The Coma cluster (Abell 1656) is a particularly rich cluster of individual galaxies (over 1000 members), most prominently the two giant ellipticals, NGC 4874 (right) and NGC 4889 (left). The remaining members are mostly smaller ellipticals, but spiral galaxies are also evident in this 2MASS image. The cluster is seen towards the constellation Coma Berenices, and is actually at a distance of about 100 Mpc (330 million light years, or a redshift of 0.023) from us. Near infrared image

Galaxy clusters Abell 1060 in Hydra - The Hydra cluster of galaxies (Abell 1060) - The galaxy in the center is the spiral galaxy NGC 3312. To its right, the brightest elliptical galaxies of this cluster: NGC 3311. The two bright stars are closer and belong to our galaxy. This splendid cluster of galaxies in Hydra is framed by two nearby, cool stars in our own Milky Way. The brightest is about 5th magnitude, visible to the unaided eye only under a dark sky; the second brightest is below naked - eye visibility. In contrast the galaxies appear featureless in all but the largest telescopes. The bluish, elongated galaxy is an edge - on spiral, NGC 3312. It has been distorted by interactions with its neighbours. They in turn have been affected, and the brightest of the two adjacent yellow elliptical galaxies (NGC 3311) has an assymetrical envelope, perhaps as a result of this encounter. It's hard to tell who is jostling who in a crowded group of galaxies such as this. Among the most interesting galaxies in the group are two faint spirals (NGC 3314) that are by chance aligned along the line of sight. They are seen a little to the left of the fainter star and directly below the brighter

The cluster of galaxies in Fornax - The cluster of galaxies in Fornax - clusters of galaxies situated about 55 million years ago - light. In the center of the image is the barree spiral galaxy NGC 1365; at the bottom right of the image, the interaction galaxy NGC 1316 - 17 (Fornax A), which is one of the strongest known radiosource. Galaxies can be separated by their appearance into two broad groups, spirals and ellipticals. An example of a spiral galaxy, NGC 1365, is seen in center of this picture. In contrast, most of the galaxies in this cluster are ellipticals, which contain little or no gas or evidence of star formation; indeed they are composed millions of rather old, yellowish stars. Unlike many of the stars in spiral systems, those in ellipticals have orbits which are not confined to a narrow plane, so the galaxy can have a shape anywhere between a perfect sphere and an American football. This kind of galaxy is the most common type in the photograph as it is in all of the nearby Universe. The picture also illustrates another distinctive property of ellipticals, their gregarious nature - they congregate in clusters, like this group of galaxies in Fornax, 55 million light years distant. This image also shows us another, less common kind of galaxy. In the lower right corner is NGC 1316 - 17. This is interacting pair of galaxies is one of the strongest nearby radio galaxies, known as Fornax A. Finally, in the opposite corner is a bright yellow (K5) 4.5 magnitude star in the adjoining constellation of Eridanus
