Neptune and Triton - Illustration - Neptune from Triton orbit - Neptune and its Triton satellite (foreground). Looking like an over - ripe cantaloupe, Neptune's satellite Triton is in the foreground while Neptune itself looms on the upper right. At a distance of 220 thousand miles, Triton is about the same distance from Neptune as the moon is from the Earth. A frozen world that's somewhat smaller than the moon, Triton is the seventh and largest of Neptune's satellites, completing an orbit every six days. Triton is believed to be composed primarily of rock and water ice with traces of methane and other compounds

Titan, Saturn satellite seen by Cassini - Saturn's moon Titan as seen by Cassini spacecraft: Titan images obtained by the Cassini probe on 21 March 2017. On the left, Titan seen in real colors. On the right, infrared image showing surface details as well as clouds in the northern hemisphere. These views were obtained with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on March 21, 2017. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create the natural-color view at left. The false-color view at right was made by substituting an infrared image (centered at 938 nanometers) for the red color channel. A large, bright and feathery band of summer clouds can be seen arcing across high northern latitudes in the view at right. The views were acquired at a distance of approximately 613,000 miles (986,000 kilometers) from Titan. Image scale is about 4 miles (6 kilometers) per pixel

Tethys, Saturn satellite, seen by the Cassini probe - Saturn's moon Tethys seen by Cassini spacecraft - The southern pole of the Tethys satellite photographed by the Cassini probe on September 24, 2005. Mosaic of nine images. With this full - disk mosaic, Cassini presents the best view yet of the south pole of Saturn's moon Tethys. The giant rift Ithaca Chasma cuts across the disk. Much of the topography seen here, including that of Ithaca Chasma, has a soft, muted appearance. It is clearly very old and has been heavily bombarded by impacts over time. Many of the fresh - appearing craters (ones with crisp relief) exhibit unusually bright crater floors. The origin of the apparent brightness (or “” albedo”) contrast is not known. It is possible that impacts punched through to a brighter layer underneath, or perhaps it is brighter because of different grain sizes or textures of the crater floor material in comparison to material along the crater walls and surrounding surface. The moon's h

Cassini - Huygens en route to Titan - The Cassini - Huygens probe above Titan's atmosphere - Artist's view of the Cassini probe before the separation of the European Huygens module on 25 December 2004. Huygens landed on the Titan satellite on 14 January 2005. The Cassini-Huygens probe was launched on 15 October 1997 and has been placed in orbit around Saturn since 1 July 2004. This artist's conception of the Cassini orbiter shows the Huygens probe before separation to enter Titan's atmosphere. After separation, the probe drifts for about three weeks until reaching its destination. Equipped with a variety of scientific sensors, the Huygens probe will spend 2 - 2.5 hours descending through Titan's dense, murky atmosphere of nitrogen and carbon - based molecules, beaming its findings to the distant Cassini orbiter overhead. The probe could continue to relay information for up to 30 minutes after it lands on Titan's frigid surface, after which the orbiter passes beneath the horizon as seen

Equipped with a variety of scientific sensors, the Huygens probe will spend 2 - 2.5 hours descending through Titan's dense, murky atmosphere of nitrogen and carbon - based molecules, beaming its findings to the distant Cassini orbiter overhead. The probe could continue to relay information for up to 30 minutes after it lands on Titan's frigid surface, after which the orbiter passes beneath the horizon as seen

Saturn and Titan - Illustration - Saturn from Titan orbit - The planet Saturn seen from the orbit of its Titan satellite. This is how Saturn and Titan might look from a position in orbit around Titan. While in reality Saturn is vastly larger than Titan, it appears smaller here because Titan's orbit puts Saturn at a distance of about 700 thousand miles. Sunlight filtering through Titan's upper atmospheric haze - - extending over 300 miles above the surface - - gives a bluish cast to its limb

Astronauts on Titan - Illustration - Walking a dry gully on Titan - Astronauts explore Titan's surface. Earthlings explore a dry gully on Saturn's moon Titan. In early 2005 the European Space Agency's Huygens probe revealed a surface carved by numerous drainage channels similar to river deltas on Earth. While the exact nature of these channels is not yet known, one theory proposes that Titan's surface of hydrocarbon sediments has been washed from the highlands by methane rain

Apollo 17: orange soil on the Moon - Apollo 17: the orange soil - View of orange soil, rich in zinc, probably of volcanic origin. Station 4, near the Shorty Crater. 12/12/1972. A view of the area at Station 4 (Shorty Crater) showing the now highly - publicized orange soil which the Apollo 17 crew members found on the moon during the second Apollo 17 extravehicular activity (EVA) at the Taurus - Littrow landing site. The tripod - like object is the gnomon and photometric chart assembly which is used as a photographic reference to establish local vertical sun angle, scale and lunar color. The gnomon is one of the Apollo lunar geology hand tools. While astronauts Eugene A. Cernan, commander, and Harrison H. Schmitt, lunar module pilot, descended in the Lunar Module (LM) “” Challenger”” to explore the Taurus - Littrow region of the moon, astronaut Ronald E. Evans, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) “” America”” in lunar orbit. Schmitt was the crew man

Astronauts on Titan - Illustration - Releasing a weather balloon on Titan - Astronauts make meteorological measurements on the surface of Titan. A titanian explorer prepares to release a weather balloon while another direct a flood lamp to illuminate the activity. On the left is a supply cart with a portable weather station, featuring an interactive control panel designed to accommodate hands enclosed in thick gloves. All exposed hardware would have to function at temperatures of minus 300* F and below. With an atmosphere 10 times denser than the Earth's, weather would be of keen interest to Titan's visitors. High in Titan's atmosphere wind velocities in excess of 400 mph have been detected. While not much is known about winds and weather at Triton's surface, terrain features resembling dune fields have been observed, suggesting surface winds have occurred at some locations. Fogs of methane gas would likely be present at the surface as well

Saturn and satellites seen by the Hubble space telescope - Saturn rings edge - on with satellites - Saturn observed by the Hubble space telescope on February 24, 2009 when the Earth is in the same plane as the rings, seen by the slice. This phenomene occurs every 15 years. This sequence of images taken for just over three hours shows the movement from left to right of four satellites in front of the planet. From left to right on the top image we see the satellites Enceladus, Dione (the brightest ice satellite), Mimas and the largest satellite, Titan, orange. This sequence of images captures the parade of several of Saturn's moons transiting the face of the gas giant planet from left to right during more than three hours. This is a rare event because the rings are tilted edge on to Earth every 15 years. The top frame captures the giant moon Titan and its shadow near Saturn's northern polar hood. Tiny Mimas and its shadow have just entered the left limb of Saturn, slightly above the ring

Terraformation de Mars - Illustration - Terraformed Mars - Illustration: Terraformation aims to transform the natural environment of a planet, a moon or another body, in order to bring together the conditions for a life of an earthly type, which is therefore habitable by man. The terraforming of a planet, moon or other body, is the hypothetical process of deliberately modifying its atmosphere, temperature, or ecology to be similar to those of Earth in order to make it habitable by humans. Here, astronauts on Phobos are watching martian oceans

Size comparison: Enceladus, Earth and Moon satellite - Enceladus, Earth, and Earth's Moon Compared - Saturn Enceladus satellite (500 km in diameter) compares with Earth and Moon. Enceladus is considered one of Saturn's major satellites, however it is quite diminutive when compared with the Earth and Earth's Moon. With a radius of only 160 miles, Enceladus could rest in the Gulf of Mexico with plenty of room to spare. Enceladus is one of the brightest objects in the Solar System. Where Earth's Moon has a surface reflectively about the same as charcoal, Enceladus is covered in water ice that reflects sunlight like freshly fallen snow

The brightest star (4 magn.) is slightly blurred by the motion of the Sun during the eclipse. The position of the Moon represents the situation 54 seconds after the second contact (18:04:29 local time in Mongolia). Both the display of the solar corona and the lunar surface in the resulting image are beyond the ability of human vision during the eclipse

Mars and Deimos - Illustration - Mars and Deimos - Illustration - Artist's view of Deimos, the smallest of Mars's two satellites. This is how Mars and its even smaller satellite Deimos might appear from a distance of about 100 miles from the surface of Deimos. Deimos is over Acidalia Planitia, an albedo feature that has been observed by Earth - bound astronomers since the 19th century. To the southwest are the fog - filled canyons of Valles Marineris, the westernmost of which are still in darkness. Beyond Mars, immediately to the left of its night side, is Phobos at a distance of 20,000 miles. The two bright objects in the lower left are the stars Beta Gruis and Al Nair in the southern constellation Grus. Like it's larger companion Phobos, Deimos does not possess enough mass to pull itself into a sphere; its shape instead is oblong with a length of about 10 miles and only 6 miles wide at its smallest dimension. Like Phobos, Deimos may be an asteroid long ago captured by Mars' gravity.

Oil Lake on Titan - Titan's ethane ocean - Artist's view of a hydrocarbon lake (methane - ethane) on the surface of Titan. Compared to the Earth, Titan is very far from the Sun's warming rays - - about ten times further - - and this leaves Titan a very cold world. Titan has an average surface temperature of minus 290o F. If there is any water on Titan it is frozen hard as steel, yet Titan may be the only body in the Solar System besides the Earth that harbors a liquid ocean. Titan's ocean would not be one of water, rather it would probably be composed of (very cold) liquid ethane. (On the Earth we know ethane as a colorless, odorless, nontoxic, flammable gas, a constituent of natural gas and petroleum.) If this werenn't exotic enough, immediately beneath this ocean may lie hundreds of feet of frozen acetylene (a common component of welder's torches)

A pair of balloon - borne probes leisurely survey a methane - ethane “” swamp”” on Titan. Each probe carries its own spot light illuminating the terrain below, augmenting the haze - filtered sunlight. Scientists have long speculated that methane and ethane may exist as liquids on Titan's extremely cold surface, but it wasn't until 2005 that the Cassini spacecraft's radar imager detected what indeed may be large hydrocarbon lakes on Titan's northern latitudes. While it is believed that the liquid in these lakes would be primarily methane and ethane, this won't be confirmed until the lakes - - if that's indeed what they are - - are actually sampled. Whatever lies on Titan's surface, there is the possibility that the ancient and exotic environment has given rise to compounds heretofore unknown on Earth. Large quantities of Methane and ethane exist i
