Core of the Hartley 2 comet seen by the Epoxi probe - Comet Hartley 2 nucleus seen by Deep impact spacecraft - Image of the core of the Hartley 2 comet seen on November 4, 2010 by the probe Epoxi (Deep Impact) at a distance of 700 km. The core is 2 km long. The image, one of the closest taken of comet Hartley 2 by NASA'S EPOXI mission, shows many features across the comet's surface. There are two obvious regions of jet activity associated with rough terrain. The smooth surface in the middle is lower than the rest of the comet and may accumulate fine - grain dust. The image was taken by Epoxi's Medium - Resolution Instrument on Nov. 4, 2010. The sun is to the right. The comet's nucleus, or main body, is approximately 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) long and 0.4 kilometers (0.25 miles) at the “” neck,””” or most narrow portion. Jets can be seen streaming out of the nucleus

Exoplanet kepler 22b - Illustration - Kepler - 22b is an exoplanet orbiting Kepler - 22, a star of spectral type G5, similar to the Sun, located about 620 years - light (190 pc) from the Solar System in the constellation of Swan. This is the first planet discovered by the Kepler space telescope in the habitable area of a yellow dwarf in December 2011. This artist's design illustrates Kepler - 22b, a planet known to comfortably circle in the habitable zone of a sun - like star. It is the first planet that Nasa's Kepler mission has confirmed to orbit in a star's habitable zone - - the region around a star where liquid water, a requirement for life on Earth, could persist. The planet is 2.4 times the size of Earth, making it the smallest yet found to orbit in the middle of the habitable zone of a star like our sun. Scientists do not yet know if the planet has a predominantly rocky, gaseous or liquid composition. It's possible that the world would have clouds in its atmosphere, as depicted

Pingualuit crater seen by satellite - Pingualuit crater seen by satellite - The Pingualuit crater, formerly known as the New Quebec crater, is located at the northern end of Quebec, Nunavik. It's a crater caused by the impact of a meteorite that fell about 1.4 million years ago. Visible to the left of the image, this almost perfectly circular impact crater measures about 3.4 km in diameter and houses a lake 260 metres deep. Image obtained by Landsat-7 satellite on 17 August 2002. Nasa's Landsat 7 satellite captured this image of Pingualuit Crater (a meteorite crater produced from an impact roughly 1.4 million years ago) on August 17, 2002. In this image, water appears blue, and land appears in varying shades of beige. The high latitude of the area limits vegetation, so thick, lush forests do not flourish in this region. With a diameter of 3.44 kilometers (2.14 miles), Pingualuit Crater holds a lake about 267 meters (876 feet) deep. The crater is the blue circle visible in the left part

Traces of flow on Mars - Mars: gullies on impact crater wall - Gullies along a wall of an impact crater (Hale crater). These ravines are thought to indicate the presence of liquid water in the Martian basement. Image obtained by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter probe on August 3, 2009. Gullies, on Earth, are usually formed through the action of liquid water. Whether gullies form under today's cold dry conditions on Mars is a major question that planetary scientists are trying to answer. The gullies pictured here in Hale crater are great examples of what a typical Martian gully looks like. Wide V - shaped channels running downhill (from top to bottom) where the material that carved the gully flowed. At the bottom of the channel this material empties out onto a fan - shaped mound. Several gullies are visible here and the fans from each gully overlap one other in complicated ways. Image taken on August 3, 2009 by the HIRISE camera on Nasa's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter

Juno Probe - Solar Panels - Juno Solar Panels - View of the solar panels of the Juno probe in operation verification. Launched in 2011, the Juno probe will reach Jupiter in 2016. It will then hold the record for the farthest solar power probe ever sent. Technicians at Astrotech's payload processing facility in Titusville, Fla. stow solar array # 2 against the body of Nasa's Juno spacecraft. Launching from Earth in 2011, the Juno spacecraft will arrive at Jupiter in 2016 to study the giant planet from an elliptical, polar orbit. When Juno arrives at Jupiter in 2016, it will be farther from the sun than any previous solar powered mission. The choice of solar power for Juno necessitates very large solar arrays with dimensions of 2.65 meters wide by 8.9 meters long (about 9 feet wide by 29 feet long). Once in orbit at the giant planet, the three arrays will provide about 450 watts of electricity for Juno

Mars surface seen by the rover Curiosity 01/2014 - Martian surface seen from the rover Curiosity 01/2014 - Panorama of the surface of Mars in the crater Gale. A small sand dune one metre high is visible in the center of the image. Mosaic of images obtained by the rover Curiosity is his Mastcam camera on January 28, 2014. This scene combines images taken by the left - eye camera of the Mast Camera (Mastcam) instrument on Nasa's Curiosity Mars rover during the midafternoon, local Mars solar time, of the mission's 526th Martian day, or sol (Jan. 28, 2014). The sand dune in the upper center of the image spans a gap, called “” Dingo Gap,””” between two short scarps. The dune is about 3 feet (1 meter) high. The nearer edge of it is about 115 feet (35 meters) away from the top's position when the component images were taken, just after a Sol 526 drive of 49 feet (15 meters). The image has been white - balanced to show what the rocks would look like if they were on Earth

China - Yellow River Delta 1989 - China - Yellow River delta in 1989 - The Huang He is the second longest river in China and the most sediments-loaded river in the world. On his journey from Tibet, he erodes more than a million tons of sediments every year and takes on alluvial or his nickname the Yellow River. It flows into the Yellow Sea, via the Gulf of Bohai, where its delta extends over 36,000 km. Image obtained by the Landsat 5 satellite in 1989. China's Huang He (Yellow River) is the most sediment - filled river on Earth. In the lower reaches, where the current slows, the natural accumulation of sediment in the riverbed has caused the river to change course often in the past. Since the mid-nineteenth century, however, the lower reaches of the river and the delta have been extensively engineered to control flooding and to protect coastal development. This natural - color image from Nasa's Landsat 5 satellite shows the Yellow River Delta at the river mouth in 1989. In 1989, the ri
