Tethys, Saturn satellite, seen by the Cassini probe - Saturn's moon Tethys seen by Cassini spacecraft: The Tethys satellite photographed by the Cassini probe on 11 April 2015 has a distance of 53,000 km from the satellite. Tethys is about 1070 km in diameter. - This enhancement-color mosaic of Saturn's icy moon Tethys shows a range of features on the moon's trailing hemisphere. Tethys is tidally locked to Saturn, so the trailing hemisphere is the side of the moon that always faces opposite its direction of motion as it orbits the planet - Images taken using clear, green, infrared and ultraviolet spectral filters were combined to create the view, which highlights subtle color differences across Tethys' surface at wavelengths not visible to human eyes. The moon's surface is fairly uniform in natural color - The color of the surface changes conspicuously across the disk, from yellowish hues to nearly white. These broad color changes are affected by a number of external processes. First, S

La Terre vue par satellite - Flying over 700 km above the Earth onboard the Terra satellite, MODIS provides an integrated tool for observing a variety of terrestrial, oceanic, and atmospheric features of the Earth. The land and coastal ocean portions of these images are based on surface observations collected from June through September 2001 and combined, or composited, every eight days to compensate for clouds that might block the sensor's view of the surface on any single day. Two different types of ocean data were used in these images: shallow water true color data, and global ocean color (or chlorophyll) data. Topographic shading is based on the GTOPO 30 elevation dataset compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey's EROS Data Center. MODIS observations of polar sea ice were combined with observations of Antarctica made by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's AVHRR sensor - - the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer

Planetary nebula M57 (NGC 6720) in Lyra - M57 (NGC 6720) planetary nebula in Lyra - The planetary nebula of Lyra (M57) is located about 2000 years - light from Earth. With a magnitude of 9.0, this nebula is easily observed with a small telescope. A planetary nebula is a gas shell from a small late-life star whose heart collapsed to become a white dwarf and expelled the outer layers of its matter. Composite image obtained by different telescopes. The Ring Nebula, M57, is the most famous example of a planetary nebula. Located about 2,000 light years away, it has an apparent diameter of 1 arc minute and a real diameter of about one light year. At magnitude 9.0 its high surface brightness makes it an easy object, even from the city and even with small telescopes. Planetary nebula are shells of gas shed by stars late in their life cycles after using up all of their nuclear fuel. The star then ejects a significant portion of its mass in a gaseous shell, which is illuminated by its extremely

Saturn against day seen by Cassini - Mosaic of 165 photos obtained by the Cassini probe on September 15, 2006 has a distance of 2.2 million km from the planet. The probe remained 12 hours in Saturn's shadow, allowing it to study Saturn's rings under a particular light. During these observations, two new rings of particles were discovered near ring G. The ring system of rings is composed from the closest to Saturn to the outermost by ring D, then C, B, the division of Cassini, A with the division of Encke, F, G and E. On this view where the contrast has been exaggerated, rings G and E are visible.

Saturn rings C - B by Cassini - false colors - Image in fake colors made by the Cassini probe on June 30, 2004. The different colors correspond to differences in the chemical composition of the particles that make up the rings. The ring system is composed from the closest to Saturn to the outermost by ring D, then C, B, the division of Cassini, A with the division of Encke, F, G and E. Here are the variations in the composition of rings C and B that are watched. Turquoise blue corresponds to particles composed of pure ice; in red, dirty and finer ice particles.

Saturn seen by the Cassini probe 04/2007 - Saturn from Cassini spacecraft 04/2007 - Image obtained by the Cassini probe on 13 April 2007 at a distance of 1.8 million km from the planet. Colorful Saturn tilts its darkened ringplane towards Cassini. Against the dark sky, the rings are made visible by the light that scatters through them towards the camera. The F ring shepherd moon Pandora (84 kilometers, or 52 miles across) is faintly visible at the top, left of center. Pandora's brightness was increased by a factor of three to aid its visibility. This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 18 degrees above the ringplane. The planet is visible through the innermost and outermost portions of the rings. The images were obtained by the Cassini spacecraft wide - angle camera on April 13, 2007, at a distance of approximately 1.8 million kilometers (1.1 million miles) from Saturn

Saturn and Mimas seen by the Cassini probe 18/01/2005 - Saturn and Mimas seen by Cassini spacecraft Jan. 18 2005 - The Mimas satellite photographed in front of Saturn by the Cassini probe on 18 January 2005 at a distance of 1.4 million km from the planet. The shadow of Saturn's rings is projected on the planet. Mimas drifts along in its orbit against the azure backdrop of Saturn's northern latitudes in this true color view. The long, dark lines on the atmosphere are shadows cast by the planet's rings. Saturn's northern hemisphere is presently relatively cloud - free, and rays of sunlight take a long path through the atmosphere. This results in sunlight being scattered at shorter (bluer) wavelengths, thus giving the northernmost latitudes their bluish appearance at visible wavelengths. At the bottom, craters on icy Mimas (398 kilometers, or 247 miles across) give the moon a dimpled appearance. Images taken using infrared (930 nanometers), green (568 nanometers) and ultraviolet (338 nano

Europe by satellite - Light pollution - This image is a composite of hundreds of pictures made by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) currently operates four satellites carrying the Operational Linescan System (OLS) in low - altitude polar orbits. Three of these satellites record nighttime data. The DMSP - OLS has a unique capability to detect low levels of visible - near infrared (VNIR) radiance at night. With the OLS “” VIS”” band data it is possible to detect clouds illuminated by moonlight, plus lights from cities, towns, industrial sites, gas flares, and ephemeral events such as fires and lightning - illuminated clouds. The Nighttime Lights of the World data set is compiled from the October 1994 - March 1995 DMSP nighttime data collected when moonlight was low. Using the OLS thermal infrared band, areas containing clouds were removed and the remaining area used in the time series

Europe at night - Europe at night - Europe at night by satellite. Mosaic of hundreds of images obtained by DMSP (Defense Meteorological Satellite Program) satellites in 2003. This image shows human - generated nighttime lights in Europe for the calendar year 2003, based on observations by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Operational Line Scanner. In this image, oceans appear black, landmasses appear in varying shades of blue, and lights appear yellow - white. Because these images focus on human impact, they do not include other (natural) light sources. Besides assembling cloud - free images, data visualizers carefully excluded sunlight, moonlight, and light from the Northern Hemisphere aurora
