Asteroide Vesta and other asteroides - Asteroid Vesta compared to other asteroids - Comparison of the sizes of the nine asteroides visits to date by space probes. The asteroid Vesta, with a diameter of 530 km, is the largest. This composite image shows the comparative sizes of nine asteroids. Up until now, Lutetia, with a diameter of 81 miles (130 kilometers), was the largest asteroid visited by a spacecraft, which occurred during a flyby. Vesta, which is also considered a protoplanet because it's a large body that almost became a planet, dwarfs all other small bodies in this image, with its diameter sizing up at approximately 330 miles (530 kilometers)

Mine sur un asteroide - Illustration - Mining base on double asteroid 90 Antiope - Illustration - Artist view une base minere installee sur l'asteroid double 90 Antiope. Some day a it may be worthwhile to mine resources from a distant asteroid, whether for raw materials for building an orbiting structure (cheaper than rocketing the materials from Earth's surface) or for some exotic material found only on a particular asteroid. This image is a bird's eye view of a mining settlement on the double asteroid 90 Antiope, located in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. These two asteroids are about the same size - - 70 miles across - - and orbit around a common center like two ends of a barbell. The gap separating the two bodies is only about 40 miles. The extremely low surface gravity would permit the construction of delicate structures, such as the solar power array silhouetted against the sunny side of the sister asteroid, and would make it relatively easy to tran

Artist's view of the solar system - Artist's view of the solar system. Planets are represented in order of proximity to the sun. On the right, the terrestrial planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth (and Moon) Mars; on the left, the gas giant planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. A comet, the asteroid belt and Pluto's orbit are also represented. Our solar system features eight planets, seen in this artist's diagram. Although there is some debate within the science community as to whether Pluto should be classified as a Planet or a dwarf planet, the International Astronomical Union has decided on the term plutoid as a name for dwarf planets like Pluto. This representation is intentionally fanciful, as the planets are depicted far closer together than they really are. Similarly, the bodies' relative sizes are inaccurate. This is done for the purpose of being able to depict the solar system and still represent the bodies with some detail. (Otherwise the Sun would be a mere speck, and the plan

The Dwarf Planet Ceres seen by the Dawn probe - Dwarf Planet Ceres: Image reconstructed in very high resolution from observations made by the Dawn probe, showing the dwarf planet Ceres with the occator crater in the center. This orthographic projection shows dwarf planet Ceres as seen by Nasa's Dawn spacecraft. The projection is centered on Occator Crater, home to the brightest area on Ceres. Occator is centered at 20 degrees north latitude, 239 degrees east longitude. This image was made from views Dawn took during its low-altitude mapping orbit, at about 240 miles (385 kilometers) above the surface. The image resolution is about 120 feet (35 meters) per pixel

Illustration of a triple system of asteroids - Triple system of asteroids -Artwork - Artist's view of two small asteroids (Romulus and Remus) orbiting asteroid 87 Sylvia. Sylvia is about 380 km long and is one of the largest members of the asteroid belt. Two small asteroids are orbiting a larger one known since 1866 as 87 Sylvia. Sylvia is measuring 380 x 260 x 230 km; its moons are considerably smaller, orbiting in nearly circular orbits and in the same plane and direction. The closest and newly discovered moonlet, orbiting about 710 km from Sylvia, is Remus, a body only 7 km across and circling Sylvia every 33 hours. The second, Romulus, orbits at about 1360 km in 87.6 hours and measures about 18 km across. The asteroid 87 Sylvia is one of the largest known from the asteroid main belt, and is located about 3.5 times further away from the Sun than the Earth, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter

Asteroide Vesta seen by the Hubble Space Telescope - Asteroid Vesta - Photo obtained in visible view of the Vesta asteroid in May 1996 by the Hubble Space Telescope. The images reveal a huge impact crater 450 km in diameter south of the asteroid; the original image is at the top left, modeled in 3D on the right. Astronomers have used the Hubble Space telescope to discover a giant impact crater on the asteroid Vesta. <BR>Left is a Hubble Space Telescope image of the asteroid Vesta, taken in May 1996 when the asteroid was 110 million miles from Earth. The asymmetry of the asteroid and “” nub”” and the south pole is suggestive that it suffered a large impact event. Center is a color-encoded elevation map of Vesta that clearly shows the giant 285- mile diameter impact basin and “” bull 's-eye”” central peak.

Asteroides Ceres and Vesta seen by the Hubble space telescope - Asteroids Ceres and Vesta seen by the Hubble space telescope - Ceres and Vesta are the two largest bodies of the asteroid belt, a region located between Mars and Jupiter. Since August 2006, Ceres is considered a dwarf planet. Ceres (left) has a diameter of about 950 km. Image obtained in January 2004. The image on the right, obtained on 14 and 16 May 2007, shows the asteroid Vesta. Its diameter is about 530 km. These Hubble Space Telescope images of Vesta and Ceres show two of the most massive asteroids in the asteroid belt, a region between Mars and Jupiter. At least 100,000 asteroids inhabit the asteroid belt, a reservoir of leftover material from the formation of our solar-system planets 4.6 billion years ago. The International Astronomical Union named Ceres one of three dwarf planets in 2006. Ceres is round like planets in our solar system, but it does not clear debris out of its orbit as our planets do.

Brown dwarf with asteroid ring - Artist's view of a brown dwarf star surrounded by an asteroid belt. In the foreground, a primitive exoplanet illuminated by the star. This brown dwarf is host to a disk composed primarily of asteroids and boulders. The light from this dwarf is barely enough to illuminate the surface of this primitive planet. At a distance of about 1.5 million miles, the orbit of this planet is aligned to the plane of the rings with the result that they appear as a fuzzy line occulting the glowing face of this brown dwarf

Brown dwarf with a large debris ring - Artist's view of a brown dwarf star surrounded by a disc of dust and rocks. In the foreground, a primitive exoplanet illuminated by the star. This imaginary high - mass brown dwarf has a larger disk than the previous renderings. The perspective is from the equator of an airless planet, orbiting the brown dwarf at a distance of about 4 million miles. This planet's orbit is very nearly aligned to the plane of the rings, hence the debris appears as a sword - like straight line

This imaginary high - mass brown dwarf has a larger disk than the previous renderings. The perspective is from the equator of an airless planet, orbiting the brown dwarf at a distance of about 4 million miles. This planet's orbit is very nearly aligned to the plane of the rings, hence the debris appears as a sword - like straight line

Occator Crater on Ceres - Occator Crater on Ceres: View of Occator crater in the northern hemisphere of the dwarf planet Ceres. Occator is 92 km wide and 4 km deep. Bright spots are visible, probably salt deposits. Mosaic of images taken by the Dawn probe. Occator Crater, home of Ceres' intriguing brightest areas, is 57 miles (92 kilometers) wide and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) deep. Occator displays evidence of recent geologic activity. The latest research suggests that the bright material in this crater is comprised of salts left behind after a briny liquid emerged from below, froze and then sublimated, meaning it turned from ice into vapor. Mosaic of images taken by Dawn spacecraft

Brown dwarf & debris ring from an oblique perspective - Artist's view of a brown dwarf star about 60 times the mass of Jupiter, surrounded by a disc of dust and rocks. In the foreground, a primitive exoplanet enlighted by the star. A small, barren planet orbits obliquely to the plane of a massive set of concentric dust rings surrounding a brown dwarf of about 60 Jupiter masses. These rings are evocative of Saturn's famous rings of rock and ice, however there is likely no ice in the rings around this dwarf. Recent observations have revealed that some brown dwarfs may be surrounded by rings of dust. While the origin of these rings, and the brown dwarfs themselves, is unclear, it's thought that material from these rings may even coalesce into planets, providing some brown dwarfs with their own solar systems

Asteroid belts around the star Epsilon Eridani - Asteroid belts around Epsilon Eridani - Artist's view of the planetary system around the star Epsilon Eridani. This star is located 10 years from Earth. Observations made by the Spitzer space telescope in 2008 show that this system has two asteroid belts. An exoplanet had already been discovered around this star in 2000. This artist's conception shows the closest known planetary system to our own, called Epsilon Eridani. Observations from Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope show that the system hosts two asteroid belts, in addition to previously identified candidate planets and an outer comet ring. Epsilon Eridani is located about 10 light - years away in the constellation Eridani. It is visible in the night skies with the naked eye. The system's inner asteroid belt appears as the yellowish ring around the star, while the outer asteroid belt is in the foreground. The outermost comet ring is too far out to be seen in this view, but comets orig

Planetary system around the star HD 69830 - Planetary System Around HD 69830 - Artist's view of three planets orbiting around the star HD 69830. This planetary system is the first detects around a star similar to the Sun that contains several planets whose mass is less than that of Jupiter. It seems that this system also has an asteroid belt. Using the ultra - precise HARPS spectrograph on Eso's 3.6 - m telescope at La Silla (Chile), a team of European astronomers have discovered that a nearby star is host to three Neptune - mass planets. The innermost planet is most likely rocky, while the outermost is the first known Neptune - mass planet to reside in the habitable zone. This unique system is likely further enriched by an asteroid belt. This view portaits a point of view inside the asteroid belt, which is assumed here to lie between the two outermost planets
