Russell Croman took this detailed photo of the waxing Moon. Credit: Russell Croman TUM image id: 1621874487 Licence:	The foothills of the Andes Mountains near the southern coast of Peru were captured by the Kompsat-2 satellite. The Andes stretch from Venezuela down South America’s west coast to the top of Argentina. The mountain rage is the result of the Nazca and Antarctic tectonic plates moving under the South American plate—a geological process called subduction. This process is also responsible for the Andes range’s volcanic activity. Credit: KARI TUM image id: 1621890979 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.

Interstellar space is dominated by the plasma, or ionized gas, that was ejected by the death of nearby giant stars millions of years ago. The environment inside our solar bubble is dominated by the plasma exhausted by our sun, known as the solar wind.

The many branches of Kumbunbur Creek in Australia’s Northern Territory are seen in this false-colour satellite image released by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute. The green areas are the waterways of runoff that flow into the Timor Sea. Vegetation appears bright red in this colour-coded image, which was captured by the Kompsat-2 satellite.

Gale-force winds sank three ships off Algiers, Algeria, and heavy rain drenched the country. Two days later, the clouds had cleared enough to give the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view (SeaWiFS) Sensor aboard the OrbView-2 satellite this clear view of the Adriatic Sea.
