الأرض و كما تظهر من موقع مداري قريب من سطح القمر، تم إلتقاطها عبر المركبة الفضائية (الأستطلاع) التي تدور حول القمر، و التي تم إطلاقها عام ٢٠٠٩. و كما يظهر في الصورة سطح القمر و الأرض بأكملها. المركبة الفضائية الإكتشافية (الإستطلاع) تدور في حلقة مدراية حول القمر و قد صورت عبر ٧ عدسات تصوير العديد من الصور للأبحاث و الدراسات عن القمر … الصورة من موقع ناسا … Earth as it appears from the lunar horizon … so beautiful image .. #Nasa #Earth #space #Moon

Repost from @nasa using @RepostRegramApp – Our Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter recently captured a unique view of Earth from the spacecraft’s vantage point in orbit around the moon. Seen in this composite image, we see Earth appear to rise over the lunar horizon from the viewpoint of the spacecraft, with the center of the Earth just off the coast of Liberia. On the moon, we get a glimpse of the crater Compton, which is located just beyond the eastern limb of the moon, on the lunar farside.

LRO was launched on June 18, 2009, and has collected a treasure trove of data with its seven powerful instruments, making an invaluable contribution to our knowledge about the moon. LRO experiences 12 earthrises every day; however the spacecraft is almost always busy imaging the lunar surface so only rarely does an opportunity arise such that its camera instrument can capture a view of Earth.

🌌 At the center of the universe (we have data to back that up) with the amazing team behind the thought-provoking „To Scale- Solar System“ film out in the desert. If you haven’t yet, please check it out! ⚪️👌🏼 #space #nasajpl #nasa #missioncontrol #mars #solarsystem by okawater

Reflections on the 1970s 
Image Credit: Jimmy Walker
 The 1970s are sometimes ignored by astronomers, like this beautiful grouping of reflection nebulae in Orion – NGC 1977, NGC 1975, and NGC 1973 – usually overlooked in favor of the substantial glow from the nearby stellar nursery better known as the Orion Nebula. Found along Orion’s sword just north of the bright Orion Nebula complex, these reflection nebulae are also associated with Orion’s giant molecular cloud about 1,500 light-years away, but are dominated by the characteristic blue color of interstellar dust reflecting light from hot young stars. In this sharp color image a portion of the Orion Nebula appears along the bottom border with the cluster of reflection nebulae at picture center. NGC 1977 stretches across the field just below center, separated from NGC 1973 (above right) and NGC 1975 (above left) by dark regions laced with faint red emission from hydrogen atoms. Taken together, the dark regions suggest to many the shape of a running man.

Cetus Duo M77 and NGC 1055 
Image Credit: Dieter Willasch (Astro-Cabinet)
 At the top right, large spiral galaxy NGC 1055 joins spiral Messier 77 in this sharp cosmic view toward the aquatic constellation Cetus. The narrowed, dusty appearance of edge-on spiral NGC 1055 contrasts nicely with the face-on view of M77’s bright nucleus and spiral arms. Both over 100,000 light-years across, the pair are dominant members of a small galaxy group about 60 million light-years away. At that estimated distance, M77 is one of the most remote objects in Charles Messier’s catalog and is separated from fellow island universe NGC 1055 by at least 500,000 light-years. The field of view is about the size of the full Moon on the sky and includes colorful foreground Milky Way stars (with diffractionspikes) along with more distant background galaxies.

The Winter Shower 
Image Credit: Jia Hao
Known in the north as a winter meteor shower, the 2014 Geminids rain down on this rugged, frozen landscape. The scene was recorded from the summit of Mt. Changbai along China’s northeastern border with North Korea as a composite of digital frames capturing bright meteors near the shower’s peak. Orion is near picture center above the volcanic cater lake. The shower’s radiant in the constellation Gemini is to the upper left, at the apparent origin of all the meteor streaks. Paying the price for such a dreamlike view of the celestial spectacle, photographer Jia Hao reports severe wind gusts and wintery minus 34 degree C temperatures near the summit.
