I am often struck by the beauty of images of that
result from our exploration of our universe, and I always look forward to seeing the
latest photographic offering from NASA. This week's Pictures of the
Week gallery
highlights two images that exemplify the range of unexpected beauty found in our
scientific quest for knowledge:
Geyser-like eruptions of ice particles and water vapor shoot out from the south pole of Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, in this image provided this week by NASA. Three years after gigantic geysers were spied on an icy Saturn moon, the international Cassini spacecraft is poised to plunge through the fringes of the mysterious plumes to learn how they formed.
The space shuttle Endeavour disappears into the clouds as it lifts off in the early hours of March 11 at the Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Fla. It was the beginning of a 16-day mission to the international space station.

outside -- our world in our Pictures of the
