Plaque commemorating a mass burial site in East Greenwich Pleasaunce. The remains of around 3000 sailors and officers, including those who fought in the Battle of Trafalgar were reinterred in the Pleasaunce in 1875. Credit: Paul Wilkinson TUM image id: 1616668297 Licence:	Star Dunes in Algeria. The image was acquired by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA’s Terra satellite on October 27, 2012. It was made from a combination of near-infrared and visible light. In this type of false-color image, sand is tan and shadows are black or gray. The blue-tinted areas are likely mineral-rich evaporites. The image is centered at 29.8°north latitude, 7.9°east longitude, near the town of Gadamis. As is common with star dunes, some of the dunes have long interlacing arms connecting to nearby dunes.

Woodlands House and surrounding land was acquired by a Catholic novitiate order, the Little Sisters of the Assumption, after the end of the First World War. Proceeds from the sale of part of the land were used to fund construction of a novitiate house, which opened in 1933. After the Sisters vacated the properties in 1967, the house became a community centre.

Old London postcard TUM image id: 1624019601 Licence:	The Seven Sisters, also known as the Pleiades, seem to float on a bed of feathers in an infrared image from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope. Clouds of dust sweep around the stars, swaddling them in a cushiony veil. The Pleiades, located more than 400 light-years away in the Taurus constellation, are the subject of many legends and writings. Greek mythology holds that the flock of stars was transformed into celestial doves by Zeus to save them from a pursuant Orion. The 19th-century poet Alfred Lord Tennyson described them as "glittering like a swarm of fireflies tangled in a silver braid."

It is primarily uninhabited wasteland, composed of mud and salt marshes covered with crusts of salt that protect the meagre moisture from completely evaporating. This image was acquired by Landsat 7’s Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) sensor on 24 October 2000. This is a false-colour composite image made using infrared, green, and red wavelengths. The image has also been sharpened using the sensor’s panchromatic band.

Forty years later the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera captured this image of the descent stage of the Eagle, Apollo 11’s Lunar Module (indicated by the yellow arrow). The descent stage is the largest artefact left behind by astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong after their 22-hour stay on the Moon. Credit: NASA TUM image id: 1621615564 Licence:

The Apollo-Soyuz project had to overcome many technical and cultural challenges, and the five astronauts also had difficulties speaking each other’s language. Docking seemed like an impossible task due to the many differences between the two space programmes and compromises had to be made: the United States ended up using the metric system, for example. Despite the trials, there was camaraderie and even prankery in the 20 hours spent together, as Soyuz commander Alexei Leonov drew sketches of the crew and mislabelled tubes with Russian borscht soup to say they contain vodka. "We are proud that at the height of the Cold War, the space industries of the two countries could reach good compromise solutions," said Viktor Blagov, who was the flight director in charge of the docking.

The two satellites are framed right by Pandora and, left, by the small moon Pan, nestling between the rings. The family, however, is not complete: 58 other moons were not available when the Cassini spacecraft took this picture. Credit: NASA/ESA/ASI TUM image id: 1621681152 Licence:
