Space - it's always an exciting spectacle and this year gave us a lot of new amazing photos that inspire, excite and amaze us.
Starting from the most detailed satellite images of the planet to the fantastic color photos of the most mysterious objects in deep space, this picture certainly make you take another look at our place in this world.
That is not a complete list of the most beautiful and spectacular pictures from space.
1. Colorful Sun
The new image of the Sun taken with the data collected by Solar Dynamics Observatory, shows a wide range of wavelengths that are invisible to the naked eye, but which could see the telescope. These waves are transformed in such a way that we can see them, painting the light in a rainbow of colors.
2. Space caterpillar
Telescope captured what scientists call "cosmic caterpillar" length of 9.5 trillion kilometers. This "track" really is a cloud of interstellar gas and dust, extends over a distance of one light year. This cloud is in the process of decay under its own gravity to give birth to a star.

3. Aurora from Space
This photo was taken aurora astronaut Mike Hopkins International Space Station.
4. Clouds over the Atlantic Ocean
The huge mass of storm clouds was captured over the Atlantic Ocean near Brazil. The picture is also seen Russian spacecraft docked to the space station.
5. Earth with the ISS Dome
View of Earth from the dome of the International Space Station. The picture was taken June 12, 2013
6. View of the Earth from space
Photo taken astronaut to the ISS shows the glacier Uppsala with the Argentine side of the Patagonian ice plateau.
7. Sunrise
Photo of the Sun, which rises in the South Pacific Ocean, was made the expedition 35 astronauts on the International Space Station between 4 and 5 o'clock local time on 5 May 2013. ISS at the time was above the Earth a few hundred miles from Easter Island.

8. A rare top view of Saturn
In this picture you see Saturn as we never see it from Earth. In October 2013 Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera using captured Saturn and its rings high above the northern hemisphere. This image is a composite of several mosaic images through a red, green and blue filter.
9. Labyrinth night on Mars
View of the area of "Labyrinth Night" on Mars, located in the Valles Marineris canyon. Photo taken September 26, 2013, shows a bright framing hilly terrain and eroded sediments.
10. Saturn's Mysterious Hexagon
Photo taken by Cassini, showing a giant hexagon on Saturn's north pole. It is a hexagonal vortex, extending to 30,000 km in diameter, that scientists still can not explain.
11. Mercury
Photo of Mercury made October 2, 2013.
12. The Day the Earth smile
July 19, 2013 the world took part in an unusual and rare events. Cassini entered Saturn's shadow, photographed the planet with rings, seven of its satellites and even the Earth. At this point, many people smiled and waved to Saturn, knowing that they are photographed from a distance of more than a billion kilometers.
High-resolution photos of the cosmos
13. The Horsehead Nebula
The Hubble Space Telescope took a photo of the famous Horsehead Nebula, which was first discovered in 1888
14. The most distinct picture of a sunspot
This amazing picture of a sunspot was made in August, scientists Big Bear Solar Observatory, located in California, USA with a new solar telescope.
Sunspot - a dark cooler areas on the Sun's surface in the photosphere. Photosphere temperature reaches about 5800 K, while the temperature of the solar spots - about 3800 K.
15. Rotating Moon
Using images collected by the lunar orbiter, NASA has created a video of the Moon, rotating 360 degrees around its own axis. This unique view of our satellite, unlike what we see from Earth.
16. The most precise 3D map of our galaxy
Two teams of astronomers have combined their data to create the most detailed map of the galactic center, and it turned out that it has the shape of a peanut.
17. Nebula "head witch"
In this picture, which NASA released on Halloween, it seems as if in space screaming witch. Nebula "head witch" or IC 2118 is located at a distance of 1000 light years from Earth in the constellation of Orion.
18. The nano-satellite, launched from the Space Station
Nano-satellites known as Cubesats, launched November 19, 2013 with the help of Small Satellite Orbital Deployer,attached to the robotic arm on the ISS.
19. Crab Nebula
Photo taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, shows the Crab Nebula, which was first observed by Chinese astronomers 960 years ago.
20. asteroids flying by the dying star
The infrared telescope WISE made a striking picture of asteroids, moving past the dying star. The heated gas and dust rejected by the stars and create a very beautiful blue light.
21. Asteroid Vesta
NASA spacecraft "Dawn" captures a huge asteroid Vesta. Mountain at the south pole of the asteroid twice the height of Mount Everest.
22. The spacecraft approaches the ISS
Soyuz spacecraft approaches the ISS 25 September 2013.
Comet ISON
Although Comet ISON has not become a "comet of the century", she managed to make a heavenly show in recent days on the way to the sun. The photograph astrophotographer Mike Hankey (Mike Hankey) Comet ISON captured November 14, 2013, when it became brighter and was visible to the naked eye.
Already November 27 Comet ISON closer to the Sun and died. While at first there were pictures of the remnants of a comet, a few days later it declared "dead."
