Unsold cars from around the world

Nissan has announced plans to cut its Sunderland workforce by 1,200. Thousands of unsold cars are stored around the factory's test track   Honda is halting production at its Swindon plant in April and May, extending the two-month closure announced before Christmas to four months. Honda and Japanese rival Toyota are both cutting production in Japan and elsewhere. Pictured, Hondas await export at a pier in Tokyo   Earlier this week Jaguar Land Rover said 450 British jobs would go   The open car storage areas in Corby , Northamptonshire, are reaching full capacity   Imported cars stored at Sheerness open storage area awaiting delivery to dealers   Newly imported cars fill the 150-acre site at the Toyota distribution centre in Long Beach , California   The build-up of imported cars at the port of Newark , New Jersey   Stocks of Ford trucks in Detroit , Michigan   New cars jam the dockside in the port of Valencia in Spain   Peugeot cars await shipment to Italian dealers at the port of Civitavecchia   Unsold cars at Avonmouth Docks near Bristol   With many manufacturers on extended Christmas shutdown, the number of cars rolling off production lines in December fell 47.5% to just 53,823   Thousands of new cars are stored on the runway at the disused Upper Heyford airbase near Bicester, Oxfordshire, on December 18, 2008.   Sales of new cars in the UK have slumped to a 12-year-low and production of cars at Honda in Swindon has been halted for a unprecedented four-month period because of the collapse in global sales and represents the longest continuous halt in production at any UK car plant. The announcement comes on a day when the EU's Industry Commissioner Guenter Verheugen warned the outlook for the European car industry was 'brutal' and predicted not all European manufacturers would survive the crisis.

Hubble's greatest hits: Hubble space telescope images

These two galaxies are pulling each other apart. Known as The Mice because of their long tails, they will probably collide again and again until they coalesce   The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in April 1990. After the problems with its main mirror were fixed, it started sending beautifully detailed images of space back to earth. Here are some of the best Staring across interstellar space, the Cat's Eye Nebula lies three thousand light-years from Earth. One of the most famous planetary nebulae, NGC 6543 is over half a light-year across and represents a final, brief yet glorious phase in the life of a sun-like star     MyCn18: an hourglass nebula. The sands of time are running out for the central star of this hourglass-shaped planetary nebula. With its nuclear fuel exhausted, this closing phase of a Sun-like star's life occurs as its outer layers are ejected - its core becoming a cooling, fading white dwarf Picture: NASA The spiral galaxy M104 is famous for its nearly edge-on profile. Seen in silhouette against a bright bulge of stars, the cosmic dust lanes give it a hat-like appearance, suggesting the more popular name, The Sombrero Galaxy In 1787, astronomer William Herschel discovered the Eskimo Nebula, NGC 2392, which resembles a person's head surrounded by a parka hood These glowering eyes are the swirling cores of two merging galaxies called NGC 2207 and IC 2163 in Canis Major. Billions of years from now, only one of these two galaxies will remain. Until then, they will slowly pull each other apart This is the Cone Nebula within the bright galactic star-forming region NGC 2264. Some have claimed this looks like an image of Jesus Christ   This image is sometimes called Starry Night, a reference to the Vincent van Gogh painting. For reasons unknown, star V838 Mon's outer surface suddenly greatly expanded with the result that it became the brightest star in the entire Milky Way in January 2002. Then, just as suddenly, it faded Planetary Nebula Mz3: The Ant Nebula. Expelled gas streaming away at 1,000 kilometres per second create a strange ant shape     A huge gas and dust pillar in the Trifid Nebula, punctuated by a smaller pillar pointing up and an unusual jet pointing to the left Picture: NASA M74: The Perfect Spiral. If not perfect, then this spiral galaxy is at least one of the most photogenic. An island universe of about 100 billion stars, 32 million light-years away toward the constellation Pisces, M74 presents a gorgeous face-on view Picture: NASA NGC 2818 is a beautiful planetary nebula, the gaseous shroud of a dying sun-like star. It could well offer a glimpse of the future that awaits our own Sun in about five billion years Picture: NASA This is the mess that is left when a star explodes. The Crab Nebula is the result of a supernova seen in 1054 AD. In the nebula's centre is a pulsar: a neutron star as massive as the Sun but with only the size of a small town       These two galaxies are pulling each other apart. Known as The Mice because of their long tails, they will probably collide again and again until they coalesce Picture: NASA
