Spacesuit, Houston, Texas, 2007
Photograph by Mark Thiessen
A spacesuit is put through its paces at the Johnson Space Center's Lunar Yard in Houston, Texas. The 2-acre (0.8-hectare) mock moon surface, made of sand and crushed granite, allows engineers to test systems and concepts as they prepare for NASA's return to the moon.

Sunken Treasure Hunters, Atlantic Ocean, 1999
Photograph by Priit Vesilind
A small boat tows a Russian submersible during a 1995 expedition to find sunken gold. The mission sought to raise more than 2 tons (1.8 metric tons) of bullion from a Japanese submarine torpedoed by American forces off Africa's Atlantic coast during World War II. Disappointed treasure hunters recovered only some tin, brass, and an old shoe.

Wallace's Flying Frog, Borneo, 2000
Photograph by Tim Laman
Silhouetted against the night sky, a Wallace's flying frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus) glides through the air in Borneo. These frogs, the largest of Borneo's flying frogs, gather on branches above murky pools to breed and lay eggs. The pools then make ideal habitat for tadpoles, which drop into the water when they hatch.

Walking Stick Bug, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1993

Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, 2005
Photograph by Michael Nichols
A pool of rainwater in a Grand Canyon boulder reflects canyon and sky. A writhing giant with scores of limbs (some still unnamed), the Grand Canyon slices 277 miles (446 kilometers) through northern Arizona, extending 18 miles (29 kilometers) at its widest point and 6,000 feet (1,800 meters) at its deepest—one of Earth's largest canyon systems. Cut by the Colorado River in the past six million years, it exposes rock strata that detail nearly two billion years of North America's geologic history.

Rain Forest Mist, Borneo, Indonesia, 1997
Photograph by Tim Laman
A twilight mist floats through the rain forest canopy in Borneo’s Gunung Palung National Park. The future of this uninhabited ecological treasure, covering more than 220,000 acres (90,000 hectares), is threatened by ever increasing illegal logging.

Prehistoric Human Skull, Qafzeh, Israel, 2001
Photograph by Robert Clark
This 100,000-year-old skull was found in a cave in Qafzeh, Israel, along with other fossils, including a horse tooth and burned flints. Cutting-edge techniques were used to date the fossils—revealing that modern humans left Africa much earlier than had been thought, even coexisting with Neanderthals, once believed to be our ancestors.

Jumbo Squid, Atlantic Ocean, 2004
Photograph by Brian J. Skerry
With an angry eye and a cloud of ink, a jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) flees from a diver. If camouflage fails, squid use ink as a backup defense. Mexican fishermen call the aggressive creatures "diablos rojos"—red devils. They often spew water from their funnels when hauled aboard.

Calving Glacier, Matanuska Glacier, Alaska, 2007
Photograph by James Balog
It takes ice about 250 years to travel the 24 miles (39 kilometers) from the origin of Alaska's Matanuska Glacier to its terminus, where icebergs like this one calve into the Matanuska River.
