This wide-field view shows Lupus 3 and a cluster of brilliant stars that lie about
600 light years from Earth in the constellation of Scorpius
Stunning photograph reveals the moment newborn stars emerge from a giant ...

The famous Betelgeuse is a star in serious trouble. Not only is it rapidly approaching the end of its life, it’s also speeding toward a honking huge interstellar wall! Fortunately, this wall is made of dust, so it probably rates quite low on the red supergiant’s list of concerns.

i won't be around in four billion years. I would like to know how it turns out.
The ring-like swirls of cool dust filling the Andromeda galaxy stand out colorfully in these new images from ESA's Herschel Space Observatory.

Supernova Remnant SN 1006

I believe NASA calls it supernova remnant W 49B and it may contain a black hole since it is not a radio pulsar or a X-ray pulsar.

A new photo by a telescope in Chile has captured an amazing view of wispy interstellar clouds creating what appears to be a "cosmic lobster" in a distant star nursery, scientists say.
The new image, released today (Feb. 20) by the European Southern Observatory, reveals the nebula NGC 6357 about 8,000 light years from Earth in the constellation Scorpius (the Scorpion). Massive, hot, blue stars dot the wisps of gas and dust in the stellar nursery.

if each dot in that picture is a star .... how many stars are in just that little spot of the universe ?
then multiply by 5 to 10 planets (EACH stars in universe has between 2 and 12 planets)
the universe is so gigantic huge!

The universe is eerie enough without giving us an apparition of a 1980s video game alien attacker. This oddball-looking object is really a mirage created by the gravitational field of a foreground cluster of galaxies warping space and distorting the background images of more distant galaxies.

The glowing green planetary nebula IC 1295 surrounding a dim and dying star. It is located about 3300 light-years away in the constellation of Scutum (The Shield).
