Vertical structures in the variable outer edge of Saturn's B ring cast shadows in these two images captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft shortly after the planet's August 2009 northern vernal equin... Astronaut Chris Cassidy split his shift with physics research in the morning and plumbing and electronics maintenance in the afternoon. NY 10036.
Intriguing features resembling drapes and kinks are visible in this Cassini view of Saturn's thin F ring. This view from NASA's Dawn spacecraft shows an unnamed Cerean crater that is surrounded by a smooth blanket of ejecta, including bright material. Pioneer 10 Plaque. Pioneers 10 and 11 both carried small metal plaques identifying their time and place of origin for the benefit of any other spacefarers that might find them in the distant future.The golden plaque was the brainchild of Carl Sagan who wanted any alien civilization who might encounter the craft to know who made it and how to contact them.It gives our location in the Galaxy and depicts a naked man and woman drawn in relation to the spacecraft.Pioneer 10 is heading towards the star Aldebaran in the Taurus constellation and will take more than two million years to reach it. Pioneer Plaque The Pioneer Plaque fixed to the Pioneer 10 spacecraft. This topographical map of Ceres, made with images from NASA's Dawn spacecraft, shows all of the dwarf planet's named features as of September 2016. The Cassini spacecraft watches Saturn's small moon Epimetheus orbiting beyond the planet's rings. These include a man and woman standing on the side view of the spacecraft. See Epimetheus Revealed and Epimetheus: Up-Close and Colorful for closer views of this moon. The Pioneer Plaque is a physical, symbolic message affixed to the exterior of the Pioneer 10 spacecraft.

Saturn's north polar hexagon basks in the Sun's light now that spring has come to the northern hemisphere. The "shear heating" mechanism suggests that tidal forces...

Along the way, the spacecraft even generated a mystery of its own – the Pioneer Anomaly – that took decades for scientists to solve.Pioneer 10 also carries a plaque with a message to any intelligent life it might encounter on its journey. Plumes of water vapor and other gases escape at high velocity from the surface of Saturn's moon Enceladus, as shown in this artist concept. Pioneer 10 also carries a plaque with a message to any intelligent life it might encounter on its journey.
STEREO’s data revealed more unexpected dimming, adding to the questions around Betelgeuse’s recent behavior. Please refresh the page and try again.Space is part of Future US Inc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. It shows the surface of Titan with ice blocks strewn around. Pioneer 11 will pass near one of the stars in the constellation in about 4 million years.
Pictures beamed back to Earth revealed Jupiter as a liquid giant, while other instruments recorded information on Jupiter's radiation belts and magnetic fields.The spacecraft also sent back snapshots of some of Jupiter's moons. Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 carry a plaque that features a design engraved into a gold-anodized aluminum plate attached to the spacecraft's antenna support struts to help shield it from erosion by interstellar dust. An avalanche near the north pole of Mars, as observed by the HiRISE instrument aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. For about a quarter-century, the little spacecraft flew farther and farther away from Earth and continued producing science. The bright markings appear to be fractures, like those found on Dione. The head of Saturn's huge northern storm is well established in this view captured early in the storm's development by NASA's Cassini spacecraft in late 2010. The Pioneer F spacecraft, destined to be the first man made object to escape from the solar system into interstellar space, carries this pictorial plaque.
Special plaque mounted on the Pioneer 10 spacecraft. Future US, Inc. 11 West 42nd Street, 15th Floor, At the core of this message is a fundamental concept that establishes a standard of distance and time, which, thereafter, is employed by the other components of the plaque. NASA warmly refers to Pioneer 10 as a "Residents of that region of space will need to be patient if they want to see Pioneer 10. Pioneer 11 is headed toward the constellation of Aquila (The Eagle), Northwest of the constellation of Sagittarius. The Crew-1 mission will be the first regular rotational mission to the space station. This raw image was returned by the ESA Huygens DISR camera after the probe descended through the atmosphere of Titan.
