UARS Satellite - View of the UARS satellite during its deployment into space by space shuttle Discovery. UARS (Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite) is an Earth observation satellite from NASA developed to study the Earth's atmosphere in particular the ozone layer. The satellite, weighing 5.9 tons and 11 meters long, was launched in 1991 by the United States space shuttle during the STS-48 mission. It was placed in low orbit at an altitude of 700 km and was deactivated in December 2005. This STS - 48 onboard photo is of the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) in the grasp of the RMS (Remote Manipulator System) during deployment, September 1991. UARS gathers data related to the chemistry, dynamics, and energy of the ozone layer. UARS data is used to study energy input, stratospheric photo chemistry, and upper atmospheric circulation. Data from UARS enables scientists to study ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere

James Webb Space Telescope Mirrors (JWST) - Testing of the JWST's mirrors - Six of the 18 JWST (James Webb Space Telescope) mirrors seen at Nasa's Marshall Space Center. These mirrors will be tested there to ensure they will withstand the extreme temperatures of space vacuum. The JWST will replace the Hubble Space Telescope in 2014. Equipped with a 6.5 m mirror, he will observe the universe mainly in infrared. Six of the 18 James Webb Space Telescope mirror segments are being moved into the X - ray and Cryogenic Facility, or XRCF, at Nasa's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., to eventually experience temperatures dipping to a chilling - 414 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure they can withstand the extreme space environments. The test chamber takes approximately five days to cool a mirror segment to cryogenic temperatures. Marshall's X - ray & Cryogenic Facility is the world's largest X - ray telescope test facility and a unique, cryogenic, clean room optical test location. The

Ol Doinyo Lengai - Volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai - Ol Doinyo Lengai Volcano is an active volcano located in Tanzania in the Great Rift Valley. Ol Doinyo Lengai is the only volcano in the world to emit carbonatite. Image obtained from the EO-1 satellite on 12 September 2009. Volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai is an active volcano located in Tanzania in the great rift valley. It is the only known volcano producing carbonatite. The lava of Ol Doinyo Lengai is extremely cool (500 - 600* C, compared to 1,160* C for typical basaltic lava) and relatively fluid. Ol Doinyo Lengai alternates between eruptions of liquid lava that form lava lakes and fountains (called effusive eruptions) and explosive eruptions that build large cinder and ash cones. The new cone and crater are clearly visible in the center of the image acquired by satellite EO-1 on September 12, 2009. The dark spot in the crater may be fresh lava erupted from a new volcanic vent. Gray ash covers the volcano and much of the surrounding landscape

This Envisat image highlights Lake Chad, a freshwater lake located in central Africa at the junction of Chad, Cameroon, Nigeria and Niger. Lake Chad, once Africa's third largest inland water body, is located in West Africa's Sahel region - a transition zone between the Sahara Desert to the north and savannas and woodlands to the south. Because the lake is shallow, between 1 m in the northwest and 7 m in the south, it has always undergone seasonal fluctuations. However, it has shrunk dramatically over the last four decades due to a decrease in rainfall and an increase in the amount of water used for irrigation projects. Lake Chad's surface area was 25 000 sq km in the early 1960s, compared with 1350 sq km in 2001. Lake Chad is fed primarily by the Chari and Logone Rivers, which are both located in the southwest and flow northward into the lake, which do

Launch on October 19, 2006, it is the first European meteorological satellite in polar orbit; it includes twelve meteorological instruments. MetOp is a series of three meteorological operational polar orbiting satellites, the first of which, MetOp-1 is the prototype. The instruments on MetOp will produce high - resolution images, vertical temperature and humidity profiles, and temperatures of the land and ocean surface on a global basis. Also on board the satellites will be instruments for monitoring ozone and wind flow over the oceans. The first launch was on October 19 2006

The Vatnajokull glacier, the largest glacier in Europe, is located in the southeast where the white area is more prominent. Reykjavik, the country's capital, is located in the southwest - slightly inland from the boot - shaped peninsula on the bottom left that extends out into the Atlantic Ocean. Brilliant colours of blue - green are visible swirling in the waters off the south and western coasts. These are caused by large concentrations of phytoplankton, which form the basis of the ocean's food chain and have an essential role in the global ecosystem

False colour image obtained by Landsat 7 satellite on 15 September 1999. Each of these swirling clouds is the result of a meteorological phenomenon known as a von Karman vortex. These vortices appeared over Alexander Selkirk Island in the southern Pacific Ocean. Rising precipitously from the surrounding waters, the island's highest point is nearly a mile (1.6 km) above sea level. As wind - driven clouds encounter this obstacle, they flow around it to form large, spinning eddies. This false color image was acquired by Landsat 7 satellite on September 15, 1999
