This fascinating space wallpaper is an artist’s impression showing light from the heart of a background galaxy, which allowed scientists to explore how galaxies refuel. In this image, a quasar, the bright object to the left of the center, shines through gas traveling from the interstellar medium into the heart of the galaxy. This image was released July 4, 2013.
