... Enjoying the 2004 Transit of Venus from Stuttgart, Germany, astronomer Stefan Seip recorded this fascinating, detailed image of the Sun. Revealing a network of cells and dark filaments against a bright solar disk with spicules and prominences along the Sun's limb, his telescopic picture was taken through an H-alpha filter. ... With Venus in transit at the Sun's edge on June 8th, astronomers captured this tantalizing close-up view of the bright solar surface and partially silhouetted disk. ...

... 2004 June 14 . Unusual Layers on Saturn's Moon Phoebe . Credit: Cassini Imaging Team , SSI , JPL , ESA , NASA .

. The sharply-defined crater just above the center of this Cassini image shows layers of alternating bright and dark material. A thin dark layer on the crater wall appears to define the base of an ejecta blanket. Cassini was 8,314 miles (13,377 km) from Phoebe when this image was taken. NASA / JPL / CICLOPS
