Volcano Fogo - Cape Verde - Volcano Fogo - Cape Verde islands - Fogo Island with its highest volcano 2800 meters south of the Cape Verde archipelago. Image obtained from the EO-1 satellite on 10 June 2009. Fogo is one of the Cape Verde Islands located roughly 640 kilometers off the westernmost tip of Africa, Fogo received its name from English colonists around 1500 AD. The Advanced Land Imager on Nasa's EO - 1 satellite captured this detailed image of the volcano on June 10, 2009. The volcano's most distinctive feature, its nine - kilometer wide caldera, Cha Caldera, is shown in this image. The eastern half of the crater wall is gone, erased in a massive collapse deep in its ancient history. In the center of the crater, a steep cone named Pico rises about 100 meters above the crater rim (more than a kilometer from the crater floor). The young peak reaches 2,829 meters (9,281 feet) above sea level, making it the island's highest point. The crater is inhabited. A straight road cuts betwe

Le Piton de la Fournaise, Ile de la Reunion - Piton de la Fournaise, Reunion island - Le Piton de la Fournaise seen by satellite EO - 1 on 16 January 2009. This shield volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Considered one of the world's most active volcanoes, Piton de la Fournaise occupies the east - southeastern end of Reunion Island in the western Indian Ocean. It is a shield volcano with a low, broad shape that resemble an ancient warrior shield. The volcano sports an 8 - kilometer - (5 - mile -) wide crater that slopes eastward to the coast. Within that crater sits a lava shield, Dolomieu, and most of Piton de la Fournaise's historic eruptions have occurred from the summit or flanks of Dolomieu. The Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on Nasa's Earth Observing - 1 satellite captured this image of Piton de la Fournaise on January 16, 2009. Dolomieu is the circular feature at the center of the large crater. Lava flows from earlier eruptions have left their marks around Dolo

Satellite photo of the Rub al Khali desert - Rub 'al Khali desert seen from space - Rub al-Khali (the Empty Quarter), is one of the largest deserts and the largest uninterrupted expanse of sand in the world. It covers nearly 600,000 square kilometres in the Arabian Peninsula, located mostly in Saudi Arabia and in the territories of Yemen, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. The image obtained by the Terra satellite on 2 December 2005 covers an area of 54.8 km by 61.9 km and shows the fields of sand dunes separated by flat and saline stretches, sebkha (or sabkha). The Arabian Peninsula's Empty Quarter, known as Rub 'al Khali, is the world's largest sand sea, holding about half as much sand as the Sahara Desert. The Empty Quarter covers 583,000 square kilometers (225,000 square miles), and stretches over parts of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates. The ASTER instrument on Nasa's Terra satellite captured this image of the Empty Quarter on December 2, 2005, covering an

Saturn in false colours - Saturn in infrared - The planet Saturn seen in visible and infrared by the Cassini probe on November 1, 2008. This false - color composite image, constructed from data obtained by Nasa's Cassini spacecraft, shows Saturn's rings and southern hemisphere. The composite image was made from 65 individual observations by Cassini's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer in the near - infrared portion of the light spectrum on Nov. 1, 2008. The observations were each six minutes long. In this image constructed from data collected in the near - infrared wavelengths of light, scientists designated blue to indicate sunlight reflected at a wavelength of 2 microns, green to indicate sunlight reflected at 3 microns and red to indicate thermal emission at 5 microns. Saturn's rings reflect sunlight at 2 microns, but not at 3 and 5 microns, so they appear deep blue. Saturn's high altitude haze reflects sunlight at both 2 and 3 microns, but not at 5 microns, and so it appears

Mosaic of images obtained by the rover Curiosity on September 9, 2015. This composite image looking toward the higher regions of Mount Sharp was taken on September 9, 2015, by Nasa's Curiosity rover. In the foreground - about 2 miles (3 kilometers) from the rover - is a long ridge teeming with hematite, an iron oxide. Just beyond is an undulating plain rich in clay minerals. And just beyond that are a multitude of rounded buttes, all high in sulfate minerals. The changing mineralogy in these layers of Mount Sharp suggests a changing environment in early Mars, though all involve exposure to water billions of years ago.

The black circle corresponds to the position of the probe camera. The hundreds of clicks needed to make this image were taken between June 5 and July 12, 2008. Phoenix landed on a vast plain north of Mars, in the Vastitas Borealis region. This view is a vertical projection that combines hundreds exposures taken by the Surface Stereo Imager camera on Nasa's Mars Phoenix Lander and projects them as if looking down from above. The black circle on the spacecraft is where the camera itself is mounted on the lander, out of view in images taken by the camera. North is toward the top of the image. The height of the lander's meteorology mast, extending towards the southwest, appears exaggerated because that mast is taller than the camera mast. This view is in approximately true color.

This false - color composite image, constructed from data obtained by Nasa's Cassini spacecraft, shows the glow of auroras streaking out about 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) from the cloud tops of Saturn's south polar region. In this image constructed from data collected in the near - infrared wavelengths of light, the auroral emission is shown in green. Scientists designated blue to indicate sunlight reflected at wavelengths from 2 to 3 microns, green to indicate light from hydrogen ions at wavelengths between 3 and 4 microns and red to indicate thermal emission at 5 microns. Saturn's rings and high altitude haze only reflect sunlight at 3 microns or less, so they appear deep blue. The glow from the aurora can only be seen at the wavelengths in the green channel.

The Arabian Peninsula's Empty Quarter, known as Rub 'al Khali, is the world's largest sand sea, holding about half as much sand as the Sahara Desert. The Empty Quarter covers 583,000 square kilometers (225,000 square miles), and stretches over parts of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates. The Enhanced Thematic Mapper on Nasa's Landsat 7 satellite captured this image of the Empty Quarter on August 26, 2001. The area shown resides in southeastern Saud

Dust Tempete on Dubai - 02/2009 - Dust storm on Dubai - 02/2009 - Dust Tempete on Dubai seen by Terra satellite on February 28, 2009. The coasts of the Emirates of Dubai with the three palm islands of Jebel and the World, an archipelago of 250 to 300 private islands, are hardly discernible. Heat and dust storms plagued the United Arab Emirates at the end of February 2009. Temperatures soared to 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit), the highest February temperatures since record keeping began in 1974. Pushed by winds gusting to 35 knots (65 kilometers per hour), dust storms reduced visibility throughout the region. Parallel plumes of dust blow off the coast of the United Arab Emirates and over the Persian Gulf in this image acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite on February 28, 2009. In this true - color image, the beige plumes of dust partially obscure the satellite's view of the ocean water. In some places, the dust appe

The Phoenix probe on its landing site - Phoenix landing site - Mosaic of polar projection images showing the Phoenix probe placed on Martian soil. The black circle corresponds to the position of the probe camera. The hundreds of clicks needed to make this image were taken between June 5 and July 12, 2008. Phoenix landed on a vast plain north of Mars, in the Vastitas Borealis region. This view is a polar projection that combines more than 500 exposures taken by the Surface Stereo Imager camera on Nasa's Mars Phoenix Lander and projects them as if looking down from above. The black circle on the spacecraft is where the camera itself is mounted on the lander, out of view in images taken by the camera. North is toward the top of the image. The lander's meteorology mast extends above the southwest horzon and is topped by the telltale wind gauge. The ground surface around the lander has polygonal patterning similar to patterns in permafrost areas on Earth. The landing site is at 68.22 degree

The Omega nebula (M17) seen in infrared - M17 nebula in infrared - The Omega nebula (M17) seen in infrared by the Spitzer space telescope. M17 is a star-forming region about 6000 light years ago in the constellation Sagittarius. In the center of the nebula is a group of massive stars. The dust appears in red, the hot gas in green, the regions or this gas and the dust mixes in white. Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope has captured an infrared view of the star - making cloud called M17, or the Swan nebula. The cloud, located about 6,000 light - years away in the constellation Sagittarius, is dominated by a central group of massive stars - - the most massive stars in the region. These central stars give off intense flows of expanding gas, which rush like rivers against dense piles of material, carving out the deep pocket at center of the picture. Winds from the region's other massive stars push back against these oncoming rivers, creating bow shocks like those that pile up in front of speedin

Mississippi Delta, Louisiana, seen by satellite - Mississippi River Delta. Louisiana - Mississpi Delta, Louisiana, USA, seen by Landsat-7 satellite, November 27, 1999. The Mississippi River drains the heart of the North American continent, carrying vast quantities of sediment and depositing it along the shore of Louisiana and into the Gulf of Mexico. The sediment is composed of topsoil, sand, dead and decaying plants, and anything else washed away by a strong rainstorm far upstream. Many of these effluents are nutrients that act as fertilizer for the microscopic plants (phytoplankton) living near the surface of the Gulf waters. Each summer the phytoplankton population explodes. As the phytoplankton age, die, and decompose, bacteria absorb oxygen dissolved in the water, creating a dead zone”” along the shore at the ocean bottom. The oxygen - poor water is deadly to animals, from the microscopic zooplankton that graze on phytoplankton to crustaceans, molluscs, and fish. Once infrequent,
