This is a great compilation of the best “space” events that happened in April. Inside this post, you will see photos taken by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), a couple of satellites placed into orbit, two currently operating orbiters Space Shuttle Discovery and Russian Soyuz. Besides this, NASA has published interesting photos of the Earth due to Earth Day celebrations and displayed amazing 3-D images of far-flung galaxies made by Hubble Space Telescope.
