Noctilucent
Clouds Credit
& Copyright: Pekka Parviainen (NCWG/U. Colorado) Explanation: Sometimes
it's night on the ground but day in the air. As the Earth rotates to eclipse
the Sun, sunset rises up from the ground. Therefore, at sunset on the ground,
sunlight still shines on clouds above. Under usual circumstances, a pretty
sunset might be visible, but unusual noctilucent clouds float so high up
they can be seen well after dark. Pictured above, a network of noctilucent
clouds casts a colorful but eerie glow visible above the dark. Although
noctilucent clouds are thought to be composed of small ice-coated particles,
much remains unknown about them. Authors & editors: Robert Nemiroff

Infrared
Saturn Credit: E. Karkoschka (University of Arizona), HST, NASA
Explanation: This delightfully detailed false color image of Saturn was
earmarked to celebrate the 8th anniversary of the orbiting Hubble Space
Telescope. The picture is a combination of three images taken in January
1998 and shows the lovely ringed planet in reflected infrared light. Different
colors indicated varying heights and compositions of cloud layers generally
thought to consist of ammonia ice crystals. The eye-catching rings cast
a shadow on Saturn's upper hemisphere, while the bright stripe seen within
the left portion of the shadow is infrared sunlight streaming through the
large gap in the rings known as the Cassini Division. Two of Saturn's many
moons have also put in an appearance, Tethys just beyond the planet's disk
at the upper right, and Dione at the lower left. Authors & editors:

Martian Valley Credit: Malin Space Science Systems, MGS, JPL, NASA
Explanation: This tantalizing close-up detail of a network of martian valleys
was recorded from orbit this April by Mars Global Surveyor's camera. Water
may once have flowed here but now sand dunes stripe the windswept valley
floor. The Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft arrived in orbit in September
of 1997 and has been exploring the red planet since. Three other spacecraft,
Mars Climate Orbiter, Mars Polar Lander, and Nozomi are presently en route.

Jupiter
from Voyager - Large
Version! Credit: Voyager 1, NASA Explanation: This picture of the
planet Jupiter was taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft as it passed the planet
in 1979. Jupiter, a gas giant planet with no solid surface, is the largest
planet in the Solar System and is made mostly of the hydrogen and helium.
Clearly visible in the above photo is the Great Red Spot, a giant, hurricane-like
storm system that rotates with the clouds of Jupiter. It is so large three
complete Earths could fit inside it. Astronomers have recorded this giant
storm on Jupiter for over 300 years. Authors & editors: Robert Nemiroff
