This Pictures of the collected photographs connected with the cosmos that have been made over the past month and a half.
1. Improved Hubble Space Telescope took a picture of the "bruise" in the nebula Jupiter on July 23. Astronomers believe that dark point came when earlier this month a huge comet crashed into the planet. This is the first large-format camera picture of the telescope Hubble, which was installed during the flight into space in May. (NASA, ESA, H. Hammel (SSI), Jupiter Impact Team)
2. On the morning of July 22 a large part of China and the Pacific shadow fell during unusually long solar eclipse. These images from the Japanese geostationary satellite MTSAT show the Earth at 8:30 am local time in Taiwan (left), and then an hour later during a solar eclipse (right). (WebGMS-MTSAT / GMS / NASA)
3. Thousands of people gathered along the Ganges River in Varanasi, India town to look at the total solar eclipse, which occurred on July 22. The dark disk of the moon completely covered the sun, surrounded by a thin halo of the solar corona. (Pedro Ugarte / AFP - Getty Images)
4. Astronaut shuttle «Endeavour» Tom Marshbern runs on the International Space Station during a space flight on 27 July. Team Korablin «Endeavour» sets the last piece of the Japanese orbiting laboratory during his 16-day mission. 13 astronauts and cosmonauts gathered in the complex station, setting a record for the largest gathering of people in space.

5. Known as the unofficial name "Nebula bubble", this planetary nebula in the constellation Cygnus (officially known as the PN G75.5.7) was discovered by an amateur astronomer Dave Yurasevichem in 2008. This picture was taken using a 4-meter telescope June 19, 2009. (Univ. Of Alaska-Anchorage / WIYN / NOAO / AURA / NSF)
6. Photo taken June 14 from the International Space Station, shows part of the basin of the Colorado Plateau, known as the «Waterpocket Fold». Depression is a geological formation consisting of layers of sedimentary rocks with a flat-sided bend, like a carpet on the stairs. (NASA)
7. Stephen's Quintet - a compact group of galaxies discovered about 130 years ago and is located about 280 million light-years from Earth. This image, published July 9, combines a visible light image (using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope) and with the help of X-rays (Chandra Observatory). Blue stripe in the center of the image is a blast of X-rays that have arisen because of the collapse of the galaxies. (NASA / CXC / CfA / CFHT)
8. astrophotographer Thierry Legault took this picture of the international space station and space shuttle docked to it «Endeavour», flies on a background of the solar disk on July 26 with a view of Orleans, France. The picture was taken using a telescope-refractor Takahashi TOA-150. Other pictures published on the website Lego Astrophoto.fr. (Thierry Legault / Look at Sciences)
9. This image fragments of the exploded star, known as a supernova remnant 1E 0102.2-7219, or briefly «E0102» - sends the data NASA Chandra Observatory. E0102 is located about 190,000 light-years away in the Small Magellanic Cloud, one of the closest galaxies to the Milky Way. The picture was taken on July 23 in honor of the 10th anniversary of the opening of Chandra. (NASA / CXC / STScI)
10. Module NASA Max Launch Abort System (MLAS) rises on a column of flame and clouds of July 8 during a test run in the space agency Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. MLAS is an alternative module, which is under study, as NASA thinks all the ways to protect future astronauts in an emergency startup. (NASA)
11. Team members Mars rover Scott Maxwell, Pauline Hwang and Kim Lichtenberg test rover prepared for the session on July 9 which aims to find the best way to pour soft ground in a specially-assembled "the trash" in the laboratory of NASA. The results of this test will help engineers create a strategy for the rover NASA, which was in a difficult situation on Mars. (NASA / JPL-Caltech)
12. How does the Martian dirt: This mosaic of images from the optical system Surface Stereo Imager, mounted on the module Phoenix, shows part of the deck of space Korablin after he brought samples of Martian soil. Different components of the image (formed in approximately true color) were made on different days during the five-month mission module Phoenix in the Martian Arctic. The photo was edited on July 2nd. (NASA / JPL-Caltech / Univ. Of Arizona)
13. This image of the southern polar region of Mars is part of a series of photographs taken of the interplanetary station NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, in an attempt to find a module, or at least his parachute. The module was lost after entered the atmosphere of Mars in December 1999. The remains of the module may be covered with dust and ice, making it difficult to search. This picture was taken on July 3 and released on the 8th. (NASA / JPL / University of Arizona)
14. This picture taken from station Europe and released on July 24 show in perspective one of the largest canyons of the Red Planet. Canyon Ma'adim Vallis has craters, lava flows and tectonic features. This prospective survey was done using data from high-resolution stereo camera. (ESA / DLR / FU Berlin (G. Neukum)
15. Cosmic rays from the galaxy of the Milky Way are effectively accelerated after an exploding star, as shown in this picture June 25, made with a large telescope European Southern Observatory and NASA's Chandra. Scientists have studied the color codes emissions from supernova remnant RCW 86, located at a distance of 8200 light years from Earth, to find out how this "super-accelerator". They discovered that the shock wave created by the explosion star moves at a speed of 1 to 3% of the speed of light. (ESO / NASA / CXC)
16. The SpaceX Falcon 1 rocket lifted off from the island in the Pacific Ocean on July 14 carrying with Malaysian satellite into space RazakSAT. This launch was the first success for the company SpaceX (CA), which was able to unload into orbit its scientific weight. The company SpaceX was founded by millionaire Elon Musk for easy access to space. (SpaceX)
