The Amount Of Trackable Objects Currently Orbiting Earth. These Include Satellites And Are Mainly Referred

The Sombrero Galaxy is one of the most unusual looking barred spiral galaxies visible from Earth. Its bright nucleus, large central bulge and spiral arms threaded through with a thick dust lane make it look a little like a hat from Mexico. The dust lane is a ring that circles the bulge of the galaxy, and it is rich with gas, dust, and hydrogen gas. Source: Space-Facts.

The distinctively fluted surface and elongated hills in this image in Medusae Fossae on Mars are caused by wind erosion of a soft fine-grained rock. Called yardangs, these features are aligned with the prevailing wind direction. This wind direction would have dominated for a very long time to carve these large-scale features into the exposed rock we see today. The image was acquired at 15:25 local Mars time on June 28, 2016, by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

Once upon a time, Mars had lakes, or at least wetter conditions than it does today. The latest from NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover shows slabs of rock cross-hatched with shallow ridges that likely originated as cracks in drying mud, evidence of an ancient era when these sediments were deposited were.

Here is a very distant globular cluster called NGC 6229 found in the constellation Hercules, it is about 100,000 light years distant. It has a visual magnitude of 9.39. What a difference distant makes when you compare this globular cluster with the spectacular Hercules cluster (25,000 light years away) which is found in the same constellation.

Frozen beneath a cracked and pitted region in Mars’ mid-northern latitudes lies a sheet of ice with about as much thirst-quenching potential as Lake Superior.

When an asteroid or other object impacts the surface of a planet, material that was originally beneath the surface is thrown up and out causing scenes like this image captured by NASA’s Mars orbiter. Source: NASA
