Images from the NASA book – 'Apollo: Through the Eyes of the Astronauts'.
July 20, 2009, marks the 40th anniversary of the first human landing on the moon by Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins of Apollo 11. A direct result of President John F. Kennedy's mandate to land a man on the moon by the end of the 1960s. The achievements of the Apollo missions have since become a benchmark in the annals of human experience. Apollo: Through the Eyes of the Astronauts is a visual celebration of the most heralded space flights in history and a record of one of the most significant episodes in the history of photography.

NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope captured this image of comet Holmes in March 2008, five months after the comet suddenly erupted and brightened a million-fold overnight.

Every six years, comet 17P/Holmes speeds away from Jupiter and heads inward toward the sun, traveling the same route typically without incident. However, twice in the last 116 years, in November 1892 and October 2007, comet Holmes mysteriously exploded as it approached the asteroid belt.
