NIRCam reveals older stars and the gas-and-dust structures between them, while MIRI uncovers the spiral galaxy's active nucleus The merger is expected to complete in a few hundred million years

Galactic Interaction in a Webb Image 🌌 A James Webb image captures two merging galaxies—an elliptical and a spiral—known as Arp 107, roughly 450 million light-years away. Each galaxy spans tens of thousands

At the remnant’s heart pulses the Vela Pulsar, an ultra‑dense, rapidly spinning neutron star — the crushed core of the original star — which continues to inject energy and keep the ghostly clouds alight

Those wispy structures are shock‑wave remnants racing through interstellar space, colliding with gas and dust and heating it to produce a mesmerizing palette of colors — vivid evidence of the violent forces

Located about 800 light‑years away, the Vela Supernova Remnant is one of the closest and largest visible from Earth, stretching across hundreds of light‑years like a vast cosmic tapestry of glowing filaments

A ghostly spectacle captured from Namibia’s Khomas Region: over 62 hours of exposure between February and May 2026 reveal the ethereal wreckage of a colossal star that detonated roughly 11,000 years ago

The Veil spans over 100 light-years yet remains incredibly faint, making it a favorite target for astrophotographers and large telescopes.

Seen today is the shredded wreckage: shockwaves still racing outward, colliding with interstellar gas and illuminating vast, ethereal curtains of oxygen, hydrogen, and sulfur in vivid reds, blues, and

About 2,100 light-years away, this fragile glowing filament is all that remains of a massive star that exploded more than 10,000 years ago.

The Veil Nebula: a ghostly tapestry of a dead star. Stretching across the constellation Cygnus, the Swan, lies one of the night sky’s most breathtaking supernova remnants — the Veil Nebula

Apollo 17 remains the most scientifically productive lunar mission, and images like this highlight how the crews conducted sophisticated experiments as well as collected samples

Taken by mission commander Gene Cernan in December 1972, the photo captures Schmitt doing field science on another world: his white suit set against the gray terrain, with distant valley hills and the

A central transmitter fed long antenna arms stretched across Taurus–Littrow, some reaching about 800 meters apart, and radio waves sent through the soil revealed regolith thickness, buried rock layers,

This wasn’t merely hardware — it was a refined geophysical system built to probe beneath the lunar surface without excavation.

This discovery offers an unprecedented view of how asteroid impacts operate in marine settings and suggests Nadir could represent a second catastrophic strike during the Cretaceous–Paleogene interval,

The strike displaced huge volumes of water in an ocean about 2,600 feet (800 m) deep, generating tsunami waves exceeding 2,600 feet (800 m) near the impact and sending megawaves across the Atlantic that
