Halleys comet 1910, historical artwork
The 1910 approach, which came into view around 20 April, was notable for several reasons: it was the first approach of which photographs exist

Galaxy cluster MACS J0717, composite image. This massive galaxy cluster was formed when four separate galaxy clusters collided

Asteroid impact, artwork
A natural impact on an asteroid which passes 300.000 km from Earth. Such small impacts can change the speed of an asteroid, so the next passing may be closer to Earth or an impact event

Classical mechanics
Billiard balls colliding, demonstrating principles such as conservation of momentum, and Newtons Laws of Motion

Molecular collisions. Computer model of molecules colliding in a 2-dimensional area. The coloured tracks show the successive positions of the atoms in each molecule

Asteroid impact on Mars, artwork
Asteroid impact on Mars, computer artwork. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. It is scarred by around 43, 000 impact craters that have a diameter of over 5 kilometres

Impact on an asteroid, artwork
Impact on an asteroid, computer artwork. Asteroids are large rocks left over after the solar system formed. Here, a smaller meteoroid is impacting the surface of the asteroid (lower right)

Quantum waves. Computer model showing a quantum wavefunction bouncing from a rough surface. The wavefunction was dropped from top

HM torpedo gunboat, Hazard and seaplane. Participated in a Victoria Cross action in Crete in 1898. Dryard Class torpedo gunboat, she sank in 1918 after colliding with the SS Western Australia

The dramatic position of two engines after colliding near Lu
A dramatic sight after two engines collided travelling near Ludhiana, India, resulting in 20 fatalities
