Core of Comet Wild 2 - Comet Wild 2 nucleus - The nucleus of Comet Wild 2 (5 km in diameter) seen by the Stardust probe on January 2, 2004. This image was taken during the close approach phase of Stardust's Jan 2, 2004 flyby of comet Wild 2. It is a distant side view of the roughly spherical comet nucleus. One hemisphere is in sunlight and the other is in shadow analogous to a view of the quarter moon. Several large depressed regions can be seen. Comet Wild 2 is about five kilometers (3.1 miles) in diameter

Core of the Tempel 1 comet seen by the Deep impact probe - Comet Tempel 1 nucleus seen by Deep impact spacecraft - Composite image of different cliches. The core is 5 km by 7 km. This composite image was built up from scaling all images to 5 meters/pixel, and aligning images to fixed points. Each image at closer range, replaced equivalent locations observed at a greater distance. The impact site has the highest resolution because images were acquired until about 4 sec from impact or a few meters from the surface

Core of Comet 67P/Churyumov - Gerasimenkovu by the Rosetta probe - Comet 67P/Churyumov - Gerasimenko nucleus seen by Rosetta - Image of the nucleus of Comet 67P/Churyumov - Gerasimenko seen on November 22, 2014 by the Rosetta probe at a distance of 30 km. OSIRIS wide - angle camera image acquired on 22 November 2014 from a distance of 30 km from Comet 67P/Churyumov - Gerasimenko. The image resolution is 2.8 m/pixel. The nucleus is deliberately overexposed in order to reveal the faint jets of activity

Core of the Hartley 2 comet seen by the Epoxi probe - Comet Hartley 2 nucleus seen by Deep impact spacecraft - Composite of images of the nucleus of the Hartley 2 comet obtained on November 4, 2010 during its approach by the Epoxi probe (Deep Impact). The core is 2 km long. This image montage shows comet Hartley 2 as NASA'S EPOXI mission approached and flew under the comet. The images progress in time clockwise, starting at the top left. The image was taken by Epoxi's Medium - Resolution Instrument on Nov. 4, 2010. The sun is to the right. The comet's nucleus, or main body, is approximately 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) long and 0.4 kilometers (0.25 miles) at the “” neck,””” or most narrow portion. Jets can be seen streaming out of the nucleus

Stardust was the first probe to collect and bring back to Earth interstellar and cometary dust. The return capsule landed on Earth on 15 January 2006 with the samples. Stardust is an interplanetary spacecraft, whose primary purpose was to investigate the makeup of the comet Wild 2 and its coma. It was launched on February 07 1999 and returned to Earth on January 15 2006. It is the first sample return mission to collect cosmic dust and return the sample to Earth; the capsule contains cometary and interstellar samples gathered by the Stardust spacecraft

Like the lactee path, the Andromede galaxy belongs to the local group. This image obtained from the 2.5m Isaac Newton telescope of La Palma shows the nucleus of the galaxy. This nucleus is double, probably the vestige of a collision with another galaxy. At the heart of the nearby spiral galaxy M31 is a tiny, bright nucleus, seen to be slightly elongated on this colour picture. Hubble Space Telescope pictures show the nucleus to be a double structure, possibly the remains of the nucleus of another galaxy which has now been almost completely absorbed in M31. Around the binary nucleus swirls a huge cloud of mostly old, faint stars. This not only reveals the inner nucleus but also shows traces of dust which seem to stream into the bright central part of the galaxy. Studies of the stars around the nucleus strongly suggest that at the heart of

The stages of Earth formation - Artist view - Earth formation - Artist view - The Earth was formed 4.5 billion years ago from a gigantic cloud of gas and dust. From microscopic grains, planetesimal form, clash and agglomerate to form our planet; it was then subjected to a large bombardment of meteorites bringing a significant share of the water to Earth. Earth formed 4.54 billion years ago from a large protoplanetary disk accreting. The proto earth was bombarded by planetoids heating the newly formed planet

Center of the Andromede Galaxy (M31) - Center of the Andromeda galaxy - The Andromede galaxy is located about 2 million years ago - light from Earth. Two satellite galaxies accompany it: M32 (NGC 221) on the left and M110 (NGC 205) (off-field). Like the lactee path, the Andromede galaxy belongs to the local group, making up about thirty galaxies. Andromeda is the nearest major galaxy to our own Milky Way Galaxy. Our Galaxy is thought to look much like Andromeda. Together these two galaxies dominate the Local Group of galaxies. The diffuse light from Andromeda is caused by the hundreds of billions of stars that compose it. The several distinct stars that surround Andromeda's image are actually stars in our Galaxy that are well in front of the background object. M31 is so distant it takes about two million years for light to reach us from there. Much about M31 remains unknown, including how the center acquired two nuclei

Galaxy M83 in Hydra - Galaxy M83 in Hydra - The galaxy M83 (NGC 5236) is about 15 million years away from Earth. This galaxy is a barred spiral. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). M83 (NGC 5236) is located in the southern constellation Hydra at 15 million light years from the sun. It is classified as intermediate between normal and barred spiral galaxies. The vibrant magentas and blues reveal the galaxy is ablaze with star formation. This photograph captures thousands of star clusters, hundreds of thousands of individual stars, and “” ghosts”” of dead stars called supernova remnants. The galactic panorama unveils a tapestry of the drama of stellar birth and death spread across 50,000 light - years.Image taken with the Hubble space telescope (HST)

Central region of the spiral galaxy NGC 300 in the Sculptor - Nucleus of spiral galaxy NGC 300 in Sculptor - Located about 7 million years ago - light from Earth, the spiral galaxy NGC 300 belongs to the Sculptor's group. The photo taken by Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope highlights the nucleus of this galaxy. At the centre of the spiral arms of NGC 300 is an unusually compact, star - like nucleus. It is surrounded by a faint but extensive yellow haze, consisting of millions of faint, cool stars. This is the older population, or 'bulge' of NGC 300, a distant equivalent to the (much more numerous) stars that we see in our own galaxy as the brightest part of the Milky Way in Sagittarius

Core of the spiral galaxy NGC 300 in the Sculptor - Nucleus of galaxy NGC 300 in Sculptor - Located about 7 million years ago - light from Earth, the spiral galaxy NGC 300 belongs to the Sculptor's group. This photo made by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2006 shows the central part of the galaxy where a brilliant cluster of stars appears near the core of the galaxy. NGC 300 resides 7 million light - years from Earth. In this image, Hubble space telescope resolves a dense swarm of stars, patches of dust, and a bright central star cluster. This cluster lies at the very nucleus of the galaxy. Similar clusters are thought to be related to the formation of supermassive black holes. NGC 300 is part of a detailed survey called the ACS Nearby Galaxy Survey Treasury program (ANGST). In this census Hubble observed roughly 14 million stars in 69 galaxies
