Feb. 12, 1954 - Royal Marine Commandos Undergoing” Arctic” Training Course in the Scottish Highlands.: London and Chatham Royal Marine Commandos are undergoing a” survival training” course under Zero temperatures on the top of the Cairngorm Mountains near Invernses. The man attending the special course are practising snow warfers high on the icy 4,000 feet peaks in winds which can reach more than 70 miles an hour. They are spending nights on the mountains in snow holes in the ground and in tents, while learning mountain navigation. During they day they are taught such thing as step cutting and glissading (sliding down icy slopes). Before going to Scotland the men had a toughening-up conses at the Commando School at Bickleigh near Plymouth. The object of the training is to supply a neuclus of personnel accustomed to operating tactically under snow conditions. During the course they learn to ski- use snow shoes etc

S star Monocerotis and nebula - Fox Fur nebula in Monoceros - The region to the right of the bright star S Monocerotis is called Fox Fur nebula. This region where gas mixes with interstellar dust is located above the Cone nebula, about 2600 light years from Earth. Image obtained with a 61 cm telescope, composite of several images. The region around the 4.7 magnitude star S Mon is a fascinating mixture of red fluorescent hydrogen and dark, obscuring dust lanes. Some dust patches are close enough to bright stars to reflect light from them; these appear blue for the same reason that the day - time sky is blue - because some of the interstellar particles preferentially scatter blue light. The dust is mixed with gas and this affects the appearance of the emission nebulae, giving some of the faintest a curious 'fox fur' texture in this photograph. S Mon is part of a young open cluster of stars named NGC 2264 located about 2600 light years away, just north of the Cone nebula. Image taken with

India 70 million years ago - Artist's view - Late Cretaceous India - India seen in the upper cretace about 70 million years ago. The north is upstairs. To the west, Madagascar separates from India. This is how the Indian subcontinent may have appeared 70 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period. Looking north, immediately to India's west is the island continent of Madagascar and further west is the eastern coast of southern Africa. In the distant past India and Madagascar formed a single continent, however India was part of a separate tectonic plate that subsequently began to drift northward. This northward motion (covering about 8 inches per year making it among the fastest on the Earth's lithosphere) split India from Madagascar and carried it north across the Tethys Ocean until it collided with Eurasia about 50 to 35 million years ago. This collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates joined India to South Asia and created the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalaya Mountains

International Space Station: Astronaut Exit - The International Space Station: EVA Astronaut - Astronaut Robert L. Behnken prepares the installation of the new articule arm of the international space station, the Dextre robot. 3rd extravehicular exit, 17 - 18 March 2008. 17/18 March 2008 - Astronaut Robert L. Behnken, STS - 123 mission specialist, participates in the mission's third scheduled session of extravehicular activity (EVA) as construction and maintenance continue on the International Space Station. During the 6 - hour, 53 - minute spacewalk, Behnken and Rick Linnehan (out of frame), mission specialist, installed a spare - parts platform and tool - handling assembly for Dextre, also known as the Special Purpose Dextrous Manipulator (SPDM). Among other tasks, they also checked out and calibrated DEXT's end effector and attached critical spare parts to an external stowage platform. The new robotic system is scheduled to be activated on a power and data grapple fixture located on

Artist's impression of the extrasolar planet Corot - 7b a small exoplanet located in the constellation of Monoceros. The exoplanet Corot - 7b is so close to its Sun - like host star that it must experience extreme conditions. This planet has a mass five times that of Earth's and is in fact the closest known exoplanet to its host star, which also makes it the fastest - - - it orbits its star at a speed of more than 750,000 kilometres per hour. The probable temperature on its day - face”” is above 2,000 degrees, but minus 200 degrees on its night face. Theoretical models suggest that the planet may have lava or boiling oceans on its surface. The artist has provided an impression of how it may look like if it were covered by lava. The sister planet, Corot - 7c, is seen in the distance.

Sep. 09, 1953 - Senator Joseph McCarthy the American Communist hunter is in New York to question men known to be active in Communist causes. He held a public session at the Federal Court where his investigations sub committee sat. The investigation of Abraham Unger a lawyer who was of the defence council for 11 top Reds who were convicted of violating the Smith Act, was the main business of the day - but as Unger refused to state whether or not he was a Communist, McCarthy ordered a guard to remoce him from the session, and said he would file papers citing him for contempt. Unger challenged McCarthy; s right to question him on his political beliefs, and did not claim the fifth Amendment as a justification for his refusal to answer. The senator in an aggrevated mood, despite the announcement that he is to marry his former secretary ~ former beauty queen Jean Lee of washington

A leveling system in the Crawler keeps the Shuttle vertical while negotiating the 5 percent grade leading to the top of the launch pad. Launch of Discovery on its Return to Flight mission, STS-114, is targeted for May 15 with a launch window that extends to June 3.

Earth's atmosphere and night clouds - Earth's atmosphere, noctilucent clouds and Moon - View of the Earth's atmosphere and a crescent moon photographs from the International Space Station on July 27, 2003. Night clouds are also visible. These clouds look like cirrus but are much higher, between 75 and 90 km from the Earth's surface. Noctilucent clouds are very high clouds that look like cirrus clouds, but are much higher (75 - 90 km above the Earth's surface) than clouds that we observe every day. They are optically thin and can only be observed during twilight hours, when the sun is just below the horizon and only shines on the uppermost atmosphere. In this image, the limb of the Earth at the bottom transitions into the orange - colored troposphere, the lowest and most dense portion of the Earth's atmosphere. The troposphere ends abruptly at the tropopause, which appears in the image as the sharp boundary between the orange - and blue - colored atmosphere. The silvery - blue noctiluce
