In this image provided by the European Space Agency the lights of North American cities can be seen. The photograph was taken by the ESA spacecraft Rosetta's OSIRIS Imaging System's Narrow-Angle Camera. The image was taken with a long exposure at 11:44 p.m. EST Thursday Nov. 12, 2009 just before Rosetta's closest approach to Earth. Some of the cities are clearly visible. Others like New York are covered by clouds, making the light diffuse. (AP Photo/European Space Agency)

This undated NASA handout image shows a view of the lunar surface taken from the Apollo 8 spacecraft looking southward from high altitude across the Southern Sea. A "significant amount" of frozen water has been found on the moon, the US space agency said November 13, 2009 heralding a giant leap forward in space exploration and boosting hopes of a permanent lunar base. Preliminary data from a dramatic experiment on the moon "indicates the mission successfully uncovered water in a permanently shadowed lunar crater," NASA said in a statement."The discovery opens a new chapter in our understanding of the moon," it added, as ecstatic scientists celebrated the landmark discovery. "Yes indeed we found water and we did not find only a little bit but a significant amount," said Anthony Colaprete, project scientist and principal investigator for the 79-million-dollar LCROSS mission.

This NASA handout artist's concept obtained on November 13, 2009 illustrates the two types of spiral galaxies that populate our universe: those with plump middles, or central bulges (upper left), and those lacking the bulge (foreground). New observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope provide strong evidence that the slender, bulgeless galaxies can, like their chubbier counterparts, harbor supermassive black holes at their cores. Previously, astronomers thought that a galaxy without a bulge could not have a supermassive black hole. In this illustration, jets shooting away from the black holes are depicted as thin streams.The findings are reshaping theories of galaxy formation, suggesting that a galaxy's "waistline" does not determine whether it will be home to a big black hole.
