12/14/95
Date 12/14/95
Description This radar image shows the volcanic island of Reunion, about 700 km (434 miles) east of Madagascar in the southwest Indian Ocean. The southern half of the island is dominated by the active volcano, Piton de la Fournaise. This is one of the world's most active volcanoes, with more than 100 eruptions in the last 300 years. The most recent activity occurred in the vicinity of Dolomieu Crater, shown in the lower center of the image within a horseshoe-shaped collapse zone. Recent lava flows appear in shades of red, purple and orange. Light green areas are heavily vegetated forest, while much of the purple area near the coast is farmland. The radar illumination is from the left side of the image and dramatically emphasizes the precipitous cliffs at the edges of the central canyons of the island. These canyons are remnants from the collapse of formerly active parts of the volcanoes that built the island. This image was acquired by the Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X- Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR- C/X-SAR) aboard the space shuttle Endeavour on October 5, 1994. The image is centered at 21.2 degrees south latitude, 55.6 degrees east longitude. The area shown is approximately 50 km by 80 km (31 miles by 50 miles). North is toward the upper right. Colors are assigned to different frequencies and polarizations of the radar as follows: red is L-band horizontally transmitted, vertically received, green is L-band horizontally transmitted, vertically received, and blue is C-band horizontally transmitted, vertically received. SIR-C/X-SAR, a joint mission of the German, Italian and United States space agencies, is part of NASA's Mission to Planet Earth. #####

1/24/95
Date 1/24/95
Description These three panels show the evolution of sea surface elevation over the global oceans from October to December, 1994. The red- colored strips in the central and eastern tropical Pacific reflect the formation of the present El Nino condition. The images were created with the sea surface elevation data taken by the radar altimeter onboard the TOPEX/Poseidon satellite. The color coded maps show monthly sea surface elevation relative to the two-year average taken during 1993-94. Higher sea surface elevation is shown in red and yellow while lower elevation is in purple and blue. The higher sea surface elevation associated with the El Nino reflects an excessive amount of unusually warm water in the upper ocean. El Nino begins when a phenomenon called a Kelvin wave is created in the western tropical Pacific when the trade winds weaken. The Kelvin wave subsequently travels eastward along the equator carrying with it an unusually warm water mass under a bulge of high sea surface elevation. These maps show a new Kelvin wave arriving at the western coast of South America in November 1994. In December, scientists believe the trailing part of the wave was somehow reinforced, causing the wave to stagnate in its present location. The red and white feature shown in the Indian Ocean is caused by seasonal monsoon winds. TOPEX/Poseidon is a joint program of NASA and the Centre Nationale d'Etudes Spatiales, the French space agency. Scientists use the TOPEX/Poseidon sea surface elevation data to produce global maps of ocean circulation. Launched Aug. 10, 1992, the satellite has completed two and a half years of its three-year prime mission and has provided oceanographers with unprecedented global sea surface elevation that is accurate to better than 5 centimeters (2 inches). The Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages the TOPEX/Poseidon satellite for NASA's Office of Mission to Planet Earth. #####
Shirase Glacier Region

2/20/01
Date 2/20/01
Description The Shirase Glacier retreated significantly between the 1997 and 2000 Antarctic Mapping Missions. Located in the Indian Ocean sector of Antarctica called Enderby Land, the Shirase drains a basin of about 165,000 square kilometers (about 64 square miles), which extends some 500 kilometers (310 miles) inland from the coast. The glacier appears in the lower central portion of this image at the head of the embayment. As the blue coastline from the 1997 Antarctic Mapping Mission indicates, the floating tongue of the Shirase extended about 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) further northward from the current 2000 position. However, earlier coastline maps show that the extent of the Shirase is extremely variable. This image covers an area of about 375 kilometers (240 miles) by 240 kilometers (150 miles). Most of the image area offshore of the blue 1997 coastline is a mixture of bright-appearing icebergs and darker-appearing sea ice. The Antarctic Mapping Mission is a joint project between NASA and the Canadian Space Agency. The project is led by Ohio State University in Columbus in partnership with the Alaska Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Facility at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., and the Vexcel Corporation, Boulder, Colo. The Canadian Space Agency's RADARSAT-1 satellite carries a synthetic aperture radar, an imaging radar sensor that operates at C-band (5.3 GHz frequency) with horizontal transmit-horizontal receive polarization from an orbital altitude of about 800 kilometers (500 miles. The 1997 Antarctic Mapping Mission took place between Sept. 19 and Oct. 14 and mapped the entire Antarctic continent. The 2000 Antarctic Mapping Mission lasted from Sept. 3 to Nov. 4 and obtained complete coverage of Antarctica north of 82 degrees south latitude.

Description Here on the Gallery page you can find the very latest images, videos and products from the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn, including the spectacular launch, spacecraft assembly and the exciting trip to Saturn.
Full Description On Nov. 14, 2003, Titan, Saturn's biggest moon, passed in front of two stars, just seven and a half hours apart. The first occultation was visible just after midnight from the Indian Ocean and the southern half of Africa. When such occultation events take place, the light from the star is blocked out. Because Titan has a thick atmosphere, the light does not 'turn off' straight away. Instead, it drops gradually as the blankets of atmosphere slide in front of the star, as the light-curve drawn here shows. The way the light drops tells astronomers about the atmosphere of Titan. In particular, Titan's atmosphere acts like a lens, so at the very middle of the occultation, a bright flash occurs (indicated by the central peak in the light curve). If Titan's atmosphere were a perfectly uniform layer, the central flash would be a pinprick of light, visible only at the very center of the planet¿s shadow. Credits: ESA. Image by C.Carreau
Luna 1
title Luna 1
date 01.02.1959
description Luna 1 was the first spacecraft to reach the Moon, and the first of a series of Soviet automatic interplanetary stations successfully launched in the direction of the Moon. The spacecraft was sphere-shaped. Five antennae extended from one hemisphere. Instrument ports also protruded from the surface of the sphere. There were no propulsion systems on the Luna 1 spacecraft itself. Because of its high velocity and its announced package of various metallic emblems with the Soviet coat of arms, it was concluded that Luna 1 was intended to impact the Moon. On 2 January 1959, after reaching escape velocity, Luna 1 separated from its 1472 kg third stage. The third stage, 5.2 m long and 2.4 m in diameter, travelled along with Luna 1. On 3 January, at a distance of 113,000 km from Earth, a large (1 kg) cloud of sodium gas was released by the spacecraft. This glowing orange trail of gas, visible over the Indian Ocean with the brightness of a sixth-magnitude star, allowed astronomers to track the spacecraft. It also served as an experiment on the behavior of gas in outer space. Luna 1 passed within 5995 km of the Moon's surface on 4 January after 34 hours of flight. It went into orbit around the Sun, between the orbits of Earth and Mars. The spacecraft contained radio equipment, a tracking transmitter, and telemetering system, five different sets of scientific devices for studying interplanetary space, including a magnetometer, geiger counter, scintillation counter, and micrometeorite detector, and other equipment. The measurements obtained during this mission provided new data on the Earth's radiation belt and outer space, including the discovery that the Moon had no magnetic field and that a solar wind, a strong flow of ionized plasma emmanating from the Sun, streamed through interplanetary space. *Image Credit*: NASA

Galileo Earth Views (WMS)
Title Galileo Earth Views (WMS)
Abstract The Galileo spacecraft was launched from the Space Shuttle Atlantis on October 18, 1989 on a six-year trip to Jupiter. On the way, the trajectory of the spacecraft took it past Venus once and Earth twice. Galileo took the Earth images in this animation just after the first flyby of the Earth, on December 11 and 12, 1990. This six-hour sequence of images taken two minutes apart clearly shows how the Earth looks from space and how fast (or slow) the cloud features change when looked at from a distance. The path of the sun can be seen crossing Australia by its reflection in the nearby ocean, and the terminator region between night and day can be seen moving across the Indian Ocean. In the original images, the Earth's rotation is so dominant that cloud movement is hard to see, but these images have been mapped to the Earth is such a way that a viewer can watch just the clouds move in the ocean around Antarctica or across the Austrailian land mass. In this animation, New Zealand can ony be seen as a stationary disturbance under a moving cloud bank. The black area with the sharp boundary to the north and east of Australia is the side of the Earth that could not be seen from Galileo's position.
