Pioneer 10 and Jupiter - Artist's View - Pioneer 10 probe and Jupiter - Artist view - Pioneer 10 was launched on March 3, 1972 with as its first destination, the Planet Jupiter, which it flew over on December 3, 1973; it was the first space probe to approach this planet; it was also the first space probe to leave the solar system. The Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 probes have embarked on a plate, called the Pioneer plate, containing a message intended for potential aliens. Artist rendition of the Pioneer F (Pioneer 10) spacecraft shown in orbit around Jupiter

Artist's view of an asteroid Amor near Mars - Artist impression of Amor asteroid near Mars: Amor asteroids are a family of asteroids that cross the orbit of Mars but not that of Earth. They are thus named after the asteroid (1221) Amor. The Amor asteroids are a group of near-earth asteroids named after the asteroid 1221 Amor. They approach the orbit of Earth from beyond, but do not cross it

Comparison of Sirius B, Sun and Earth Sizes - Size comparison: Sirius B, Earth and Sun - Sirius B star is a white dwarf star located 8.6 years - light of the Earth. A little larger than the Earth (but of a mass close to that of our Sun), it appears on this illustration at the scale next to the Earth and before the Sun. Sirius B, a white dwarf star just 8.6 light - years from Earth, is a little larger than our world, and far smaller than our Sun. It orbits the brightest star in Earth's sky, Sirius A, at a distance equivalent to the distance from our Sun to Uranus. While Sirius B is about the size of Earth, it has almost as much mass as our Sun

Neptune - Illustration - Neptune's Great Dark Spot - Illustration - Artist's view of Neptune with its ring system and large dark spot observed by the Voyager 2 probe in 1989. This is how Neptune's Great Dark Spot and rings may have looked in 1989 from a position just beneath Neptune's ring plane. The outermost Adams ring is near the top of the frame, and beneath that is the much broader and diffuse Lassell ring. Further in toward Neptune and abutting the Lassell ring is the thin Le Verrier ring, and beyond that is the diffuse Galle ring. The Great Dark Spot is believed to be a storm similar to, but only half the size of, Jupiter's Great Red Spot. While Jupiter's Great Red Spot has been raging for at least 400 years, subsequent observations of Neptune's Great Dark Spot in 1994 by the Hubble Space Telescope revealed that this storm has since disappeared. The Great Dark Spot was a very dynamic weather system, generating massive, white clouds similar to high - altitude cirrus clouds on Ear

The Great Dark Spot was a very dynamic weather system, generating massive, white clouds similar to high - altitude cirrus clouds on Ear

Mars Science Laboratory - Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), named Curiosity, is a NASA rover to explore the surface of Mars starting in 2012. This artist concept features Nasa's Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover, a mobile robot for investigating Mars' past or present ability to sustain microbial life. Curiosity is being tested in preparation for launch in the fall of 2011. In this picture, the rover examines a rock on Mars with a set of tools at the end of the rover's arm, which extends about 2 meters (7 feet). Two instruments on the arm can study rocks up close. Also, a drill can collect sample material from inside of rocks and a scoop can pick up samples of soil. The arm can sieve the samples and deliver fine powder to instruments inside the rover for thorough analysis. The mast, or rover's “” head,”” rises to about 2.1 meters (6.9 feet) above ground level, about as tall as a basketball player. This mast supports two remote - sensing instruments: the Mast Camera, or “” eyes,”” for

The strata in the foreground dip towards the base of Mount Sharp, indicating flow of water toward a basin that existed before the larger bulk of the mountain formed. The colors are adjusted so that rocks look approximately as they would if they were on Earth, to help geologists interpret the rocks. This “” white balancing”” to adjust for the lighting on Mars overly compensates for the absence of blue on Mars, making the sky appear light blue and sometimes giving dark, black rocks a blue cast.

Using its attitude control thrusters, the spacecraft will work to keep its antenna pointed at Earth while it sends its final data, including the composition of Saturn's upper atmosphere. The atmospheric torque will quickly become stronger than what the thrusters can compensate for, and after that point, Cassini will begin to tumble. When this happens, its radio connection to Earth will be severed, ending the mission. Following loss of signal, the spacecraft will burn up like a meteor in Saturn's upper atmosphere.

Comete Lulin et Saturn - Comet Lulin (C2007/N3) and Saturn - View of Comete Lulin (C/2007 N3), February 23, 2009. The top right is the planet Saturn. The bright star underneath is Sigma Leonis. Comet Lulin (C2007/N3) at approximately 6th magnitude, passes just 2 degrees away from Saturn (upper right), shining brilliantly at magnitude 0.6. The spikes on Saturn are diffraction effects from the aperture blades in the camera lens. Lulin's bright anti - tail points to the upper left, and it's faint blue ion tail points to the lower right. North is to the right in this image. Sigma Leonis, a 4th magnitude star, is the other bright star in the frame, below and to the left of Saturn

Ocean of Hydrogen on Jupiter - Jupiter's hydrogen sea - Under the clouds of Jupiter could exist an ocean of hydrogen. The pressure here is much higher than the bottom of the Earth's oceans. Liquid hydrogen is responsible for the intense magnetic field of the planet. Miles beneath Jupiter's brown clouds of ammonia, hydrogen and helium lies mysterious realm where the weight of the atmosphere above far exceeds the pressures found in Earth's deepest oceans. It is believed that in this realm, somewhere between Jupiter's cloud tops and the jovian core, the atmosphere gives way to a planet - wide ocean of liquid hydrogen. This image suggests that there is a clear demarcation between atmosphere and the hydrogen sea - - a dark, extremely dense world where giant bolts of lightning erupt from the ever - changing electrical potential between liquid and gas. Too deep for sunlight to penetrate, the only light here is from the glow of this ubiquitous lightning. Further down toward Jupiter's core the

Mars surface seen by the rover Curiosity 04/2015 - Martian surface seen from the rover Curiosity 04/2015 - Panorama of the surface of Mars on Mount Sharp. Mosaic of images obtained by the rover Curiosity and his camera Mastcam on 10 and 11 April 2015. A southward - looking panorama combining images from both cameras of the Mast Camera (Mastcam) instrument on Nasa's Curiosity Mars Rover shows diverse geological textures on Mount Sharp. Three years after landing on Mars, the mission is investigating this layered mountain for evidence about changes in Martian environmental conditions, from an ancient time when conditions were favorable for microbial life to the much - drier present. Gravel and sand ripples fill the foreground, typical of terrains that Curiosity traversed to reach Mount Sharp from its landing site. Outcrops in the midfield are of two types: dust - covered, smooth bedrock that forms the base of the mountain, and sandstone ridges that shed boulders as they erode. Rounded but

Mars: Phobos breaks apart - Illustration - Phobos breaking up to form ring - Illustration - Artist's view of Phobos, the largest of Mars's two satellites, which due to its proximity to the planet Mars will break in 20 to 50 million years. The larger pieces will crush on Mars, forming new crateres, but the smaller ones and the dust should remain in suspension, in orbit and leave all around Mars to form a ring. Phobos, one of Mars' moons, is getting closer to the planet and in several million years Phobos will break apart upon reaching the Roche limit, and become a set of rings
