PIX4615883: Martian panorama taken by the rover Opportunity - Martian panorama seen from rover Opportunity - 360 degres panorama obtained by the rover Opportunity from the position where the rover remained for five weeks in November and December 2008. The 276 images that make up this panorama were taken from November 21 to 24, 2008. In this image the rover, whose top of its antenna can be seen in the center of the image, is located about 1 km southwest of the Victoria crater. Opportunity returned to Endeavour crater on December 23, 2008. The Rover Opportunity landed on Mars in the Meridiani Planum region on January 25, 2004. This 360 - degree panorama shows the vista from the location where Nasa's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity spent five weeks in November and December 2008 while the sun was almost directly in between Mars and Earth, limiting communications. Opportunity is approaching the fifth Earth - year anniversary of its landing on Mars, continuing a surface mission that was initially scheduled to last three months. The rover landed on Jan. 24, 2004 (Pacific Standard Time; Jan. 25, 2004 Universal Time). When it reached the location from which its panoramic camera (Pancam) captured this view, it had driven a total of 13,616 meters (8.46 miles) since its landing. The view combines 276 different exposures taken with Opportunity's panoramic camera (Pancam) - - 92 pointings, with three filters at each pointing. The component images were taken during the period from the rover's 1,716th Martian day, or sol, to the mission's Sol 1719 (Nov. 21 to 24, 2008). Opportunity has driven 1.83 kilometers (1.14 miles) since it exited Victoria Crater on Sol 1634 (Aug. 28, 2008). It skirted the west rim of Victoria and, at the point from which this panorama was taken, had reached a position about a kilometer (six - tenths of a mile) southwest of the south rim of the crater. North is in the center of the panorama. Rover tracks are visible from the drive to th / Bridgeman Images

TEC4615550: Convent of Recollets, 150-154 rue du Faubourg Saint Martin, Paris 10th. Built in 1604, the convent was abandoned for many years. Rehabilitates an international reception centre for artists, researchers, intellectuals and academics since 2004. There are eighty one furniture dwellings and workshops dwellings available to them. The Centre also houses the Maison de l'Architecture of France and a cultural animation association. Photography 2005. / Bridgeman Images
PIX4615587: March: Cratere Bonneville seen by Spirit - Panorama of 360 degres obtained by Spirit on 12 and 13 March 2004. Bonneville is an impact crater 200m in diameter. Far on the right, Columbia Hills; near the horizon line in the center of the image, a bright point, the thermal shield of the probe. On the left, the traces left by the rover.

PIX4615651: Rover Spirit - Self Portrait - The Rover Spirit used his panoramic camera to take several images and create this mosaic on December 7, 2004. The mat on which the camera is mounted has been erased. This self-portrait shows the accumulation of Martian dust on the rover and its solar panels.

PIX4616278: Mars - Satellite Phobos - Martian moon Phobos - View of the satellite Phobos obtained by the Mars Express probe on July 23, 2008 at a distance of 97 km from the Martian moon. The resolution is 3.7 meters per pixel. On 23 July 2008, the High Resolution Stereo Camera on board the ESA's Mars Express took the highest - resolution full - disc image yet of the surface of the moon Phobos. The image data was acquired from a distance of 97 km with a spatial resolution of about 3.7 m/pixel in orbit 5851. These images have surpassed all previous images from other missions in continuous coverage of the illuminated surface at the highest spatial resolution of 3.7 m/pixel. This image is photometrically enhanced to bring out the features in the less illuminated part / Bridgeman Images

PIX4615739: March - Spirit - Panorama McMurdo 10 - 2006 - March: McMurdo panorama - Spirit 10 - 2006 - Panorama of 360 degres “” Mac Murdo”” obtained by the Spirit rover from April to October 2006. Spirit stayed in the same place directing its solar panels towards the Sun to recharge its batteries. Many dark, porous volcanic rocks are visible in this image. The Rover Spirit landed on Mars in the Gusev crater area on July 4, 2004. This 360 - degree view, called the “” McMurdo”” panorama, comes from the panoramic camera (Pancam) on Nasa's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit. From April through October 2006, Spirit has stayed on a small hill known as “Low Ridge.”” There, the rover's solar panels are tilted towards the sun to maintain enough solar power for Spirit to keep making scientific observations throughout the winter on southern Mars. This view of the surroundings from Spirit's “” Winter Haven”” is presented in approximately true color. Many dark, porous - textured volcanic rocks can be seen around the rover, including many on Low Ridge. Two rocks to the right of center, brighter and smoother - looking in this image and more reflective in infrared observations by Spirit's miniature thermal emission spectrometer, are thought to be meteorites / Bridgeman Images
TEC4616490: The cemetery of Pere Lachaise in Paris. The cemetery opened around 1804 on a land formerly owned by the Jesuit. The architect Alexandre Theodore Brongniart conceived the plans of 1810.
