What would Yuri Gagarin have thought | A Month in Space March 2011 In pictures Discovery's final voyage 'walking on Mars' and a solar eruption month space Organic fingerprints ghostly green blob stellar bullet Geriatric stars champagne supernova Monthly December Postcards from Top astronomy images

We've come a long way in the 50 years since Yuri Gagarin became the first man to travel into space. We've probed the planets, established an orbiting outpost and looked deep into the universe. This is our pick of the best space and astronomy images from the past month Our pick of last month's space images include the last mission of the space shuttle Discovery Our pick of last month's best space images includes a ghostly green blob, the mysterious molecular fingerprints of large organic molecules, and a star blasting a path through space at 24 kilometres per second Including a crowd of geriatric stars, a supernova bubble, a Martian crater and the moon as you've never seen it before Our choice of some of the most stunning astronomy images captured by telescopes, probes and astronauts over the past month
