September 17, 20177 yr An artist's impression (illustration) of a star being devoured by a black hole and showing a glowing stream of material (Nasa)
September 17, 20177 yr Stephan's Quintet (by Hubble) (It's a visual grouping of five galaxies. In reality, one of them is closer, but the 4 others are really forming a compact galaxy group)
September 17, 20177 yr The Antennae Galaxies (They are a pair of interacting galaxies. It's a galactic collision, or, in star's language, it's about galaxies making love...)
September 17, 20177 yr NGC 5949 (it's a dwarf galaxy about 44 million light years away. It can be seen by pointing at the constellation of Draco)
September 17, 20177 yr Eta Carinae (η Carinae) is a stellar system (of at least two stars) in the consetellation of Carina (hence the name ). In 1837, started the Great Eruption! (it actually happened around 7000 years ago, but we saw it in 1837 because Eta Carinae is around 7000 light years from us ). The eruption lasted 18 years and then there was another one in 1887. One day there will be a supernova there and it will be great to see it!
September 17, 20177 yr Cosmic Kaleidoscope! It's two clusters of galaxies colliding (4.3 billion light years away from us). Gravitational lens bend the light and distort the image . This area has most probably a lot of dark matter.
September 17, 20177 yr A galactic hybrid called UGC 12591 (around 400 million light-years away from us in the Pisces-Perseus Supercluster)
September 18, 20177 yr The horsehead nebula (Alone in the space, there's a horse running into the wild...)
September 23, 20177 yr An "aurora borealis" over Canada. Picture taken by the International Space Station
October 23, 20177 yr @Stormbringer I found this picture of the Milky Way over the Andes. I think that it was taken in Chile. Very nice place and picture.
