Dwarf planets - Dwarf planets Ceres, Pluto, and Eris compared - Comparison at the scale of dwarf planets. From left to right are represented Ceres, Pluto and Eris. Ceres was elevated from asteroid to the status of dwarf planet in 2006 when the International Astronomical Union (IAU) reviewed Pluto's status as the solar system's 9th planet. Pluto was subsequently demoted to dwarf planet. In this image, from left to right are the dwarf planets Ceres, Pluto, and Eris. Eris was discovered in 2003 and is now the largest of the known dwarf planets. It is believed to be slightly more massive than Pluto and follows a highly eccentric orbit that alternately brings it as close as the orbits of Neptune and Pluto and as far as over twice Pluto's furthest distance from the Sun. It was the discovery of Eris that prompted the re-evaluation of Pluto as a planet

Earth: biosphere map - Global Biosphere - Map of mean concentration of chlorophyll and vegetation between 1997 and 2000. It is with great pleasure that the Sea - viewing Wide Field - of - view Sensor (SeaWIFS) Project announces that September 18, 2000, was the third anniversary of the start of SeaWIFS observations of this remarkable planet called Earth. This SeaWIFS image of our world depicts the global biosphere - - the ocean's long - term average phytoplankton chlorophyll concentration acquired between September 1997 and August 2000 combined with the SeaWIFS - derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index over land during July 2000. This image shows where there is more or less plant life on our planet. On land, the dark greens show where there is abundant vegetation and tans show relatively sparse plant cover. In the oceans, red, yellow, and green pixels show dense phytoplankton blooms while blues and purples show where there is very little of the microscopic marine plant

Space exploration: Soyuz spacecraft - Artist's view - Soyuz deep space explorer bow - A spaceship inhabits Soyuz TMA-M increases by a housing module for three astronauts and a rocket top floor, leaving Earth orbit for a distant space exploration mission. A manned Soyuz TMA-M spacecraft docked with a three-person extended stay module begins to leave Earth orbit with the aid of a Russian-made upper stage booster rocket. This view is from behind the service module of the Soyuz spacecraft which would be the leading end of the assembly when the upper stage booster rocket is fired

The Earth 600 million years ago - Artist's view - Ediacaran Earth - The Earth seen about 600 million years ago after an important period of glaciation. This is how the Earth may have appeared 600 million years ago following the Cryogenian “” Snowball Earth”” period. The worldwide glaciers have melted and the ocean is largely liquid again. During this, the Ediacaran period, it is hypothesized that all of the Earth's landmasses had merged into a single supercontinent known as Pannotia, also known as the Vendian supercontinent. Surrounding this massive landmass is the vast Panthalassic Ocean, also known as Panthalassa. While the ocean was home to a variety of evolving multicellular life forms including the ubiquitous Dickinsonia costata, it is not believed that life had moved to dry land with possible exception of bacteria and other microbial colonies

While the ocean was home to a variety of evolving multicellular life forms including the ubiquitous Dickinsonia costata, it is not believed that life had moved to dry land with possible exception of bacteria and other microbial colonies

Le Soleil eclipse partially par la Terre - The Sun cut by the Earth seen by SDO - Le Soleil vu en ultraviolet by SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory) on March 29, 2011 (07:14:57 UT). In this image the Sun is cut by the Earth because at the time of shooting, the SDO satellite was passing behind the Earth. Differences in the density of the Earth's atmosphere block light inevenly, which explains why the Sun does not appear to cut evenly. Nasa's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) observes a partial solar eclipse. Twice a year, the SDO enters an eclipse season where the spacecraft slips behind Earth for up to 72 minutes a day.

Neptune - Voyager 2 - Image of Neptune obtained by the Voyager 2 probe on August 14, 1989 at 14.8 million km from the planet. Neptune has an equatorial diameter of about 49,000 kilometres. Its blue color is due to the abundance of methane in its atmosphere. On this photo, on the right, the Great Dark Spot, which is the size of the Earth where winds are blowing at 300 m/s. This spot has now disappeared but other dark spots have been detected since then. This contrast enhanced color photograph of Neptune was produced from images taken through the orange, green, and violet filters of the narrow angle camera. As Voyager 2 approaches Neptune, rapidly increasing image resolution is revealing striking new details in the planet's atmosphere, and this picture shows features as small as a few hundred kilometers in extent. Bright, wispy “” cirrus - type”” clouds are seen overlying the Great Dark Spot (GDS) at its southern (lower) margin and over its northwest (upper left) boundary. This is the fi

The hidden face of the Moon and the Earth seen from DSCOVR. 07/2015 - Far side of the Moon with Earth seen from DSCOVR. 07/2015 - This image obtained on July 16, 2015 by the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite shows the passage of the Moon and its face hidden from the Earth. The distance between DSCOVR and Earth is about 1.5 million kilometres. The Moon was approximately 400,000 kilometres from Earth, so it was closer to DSCOVR and therefore appears larger than it is in relation to Earth. This image shows the far side of the moon, illuminated by the sun, as it crosses between the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) spacecraft's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) camera and telescope, and the Earth - one million miles away.

Earth 200 million years ago - Artist's view - Early Jurassic Earth - Earth seen at the beginning of the Jurassic, about 200 million years ago. The western hemisphere is representative, the north is up. The Pangee has just split, forming Laurasia to the north and Gondwana to the south. This is how the western hemisphere of the Earth may have appeared 200 million years ago during the Early Jurassic period. North is at the top. During this period continental drift, driven by the massive forces of plate tectonics, had just begun to break the supercontinent of Pangea into Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south. In this image the nascent North American continent has just broken away from North Africa while South America and the rest of Africa remain joined as Gondwana. To the west in the global Panthalassa ocean are strips of land corresponding to the Wrangellia Terrane which later merged with western North America

Saturn seen at equinox - Saturn during Equinox - Saturn seen by the Cassini probe on August 12, 2009, 1.25 days after the exact date of Saturn equinox. The images that make up this mosaic were obtained at a distance of 847,000 km from the planet. Several satellites are visible in this image: Janus (lower left), Epimethee (lower middle), Pandora (on the right of the image, outside the rings) and Atlas (on the right, inside the F ring). Seen from our planet, the view of Saturn's rings during equinox is extremely foreshortened and limited. But in orbit around Saturn, Cassini spacecraft had no such problems. From 20 degrees above the ring plane, Cassini's wide angle camera shot 75 exposures in succession for this mosaic showing Saturn, its rings, and a few of its moons a day and a half after exact Saturn equinox, when the sun's disk was exactly overhead at the planet's equator. The novel illumination geometry that accompanies equinox lowers the sun's angle to the ring plane, significantly

Arctic ice has its minimum - September 2016 - 2016: the second lowest Arctic sea ice minimum - Arctic ice cover on 10 September 2016, has its minimum extent for 2016 (4.14 million square kilometres). The first six months of 2016 are the hottest since 1880. On September 10, Arctic sea ice extent stood at 4.14 million square kilometers (1.60 million square miles). This appears to have been the lowest extent of the year and is tied with 2007 as the second lowest extent on record. This year's minimum extent is 750,000 square kilometers (290,000 square miles) above the record low set in 2012 and is well below the two standard deviation range for the 37-year satellite record. Satellite data show extensive areas of open water in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas, and in the Laptev and East Siberian seas

This capsule should be able to take a crew of six astronauts to the moon and could be used to take men to Mars. The Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) is a spacecraft project currently being developed by Lockheed Martin for NASA. Based on specifications and tests already performed for the Orion spacecraft. It was announced by NASA on 24 May 2011. The next generation Deep Space Vehicle (DSV) may be flying within the next decade. Like the Apollo Command/Service Modules which last flew in 1973, the DSV will be a crewed spacecraft capable of independently navigating beyond Earth orbit to the Moon and beyond

Earth 90 million years ago - Artist's view - Late Cretaceous Earth - Earth seen in the upper cretace, about 90 million years ago. This is how the western hemisphere of the Earth may have appeared 90 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period. During this period continental drift, driven by the massive forces of plate tectonics, had broken the supercontinent of Pangea into Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south. With a climate much warmer than today's there were no frozen polar caps and the resulting high ocean levels submerged a third of today's landmasses under warm shallow seas creating numerous waterways and “” island””” continents. In this image much of the incipient North American continent is divided by the Western Interior Seaway, the Isthmus of Panama is submerged by the Proto - Caribbean Sea, and the Pacific Ocean is making an incursion into South America

Phobos mission approaching Phobos - The control module in approach to the Phobos satellite. The command module, now free of the larger Phobos mission rocket, begins a close approach to Phobos. With an average diameter of less than 12 miles, irregularly shaped Phobos has a very weak gravitational field making it relatively easy for the command module to come very close without being drawn all the way to its surface. The goal is to come close enough to permit space-suited astrogeologists equipped with personal manned maneuvering units (MMUS) to act as mini-spaceships themselves and descend to the surface. On the surface of Mars to the right can be seen Elysium Planitia and the volcano Albor Tholus
