Hubble recorded this image of fairly rare cosmic system, an irregular galaxy presenting a messy and unorganized shape.

What appear to be tiny oases in a vast pink desert are thought to be Martian sand darkened by melting carbon dioxide ice.

Hubble sent us yet another fabulous image, this time of a pair of galaxies gracefully dancing roughly 550 million light-years from Earth.

Galaxies, hot gas and dark matter combine, drawn by gravity, to create the Pandora Cluster.

Not what it seems, this image represents the last moments of descent as ESA's Huygens probe landed on Saturn's moon Titan.

Near the The Triangle, a constellation in the northern sky, this pair of spiral galaxies draw closer and closer to each other.

Over 4200 light-years away, this cosmic butterfly takes an odd two-lobed shape.

The Veil Nebula, in the constellation Cygnus, is one of the most massive and brilliant features in the x-ray sky.

This galactic group, originally discovered in 1877, uses data from multiple observation technologies.

Launching experiments in rockets from the Arctic Circle gives ample opportunity to view the Northern Lights.

The planetary nebula ESO 456-67 shows the beauty that can be created by death, the death of a sun-like star.

Mountain sides of great water-ice blocks, varying from dark to light and some possibly revealing layers of Pluto crust, squeezed together to create the "al-Idrisi mountains."

Menzel 2, a planetary nebula, arrives at its final stages of life as a white dwarf.

A cosmic cloud known as Mon R2 holds bubbles of ionized hydrogen and baby stars at its center.

In deep space NGC 2359, a glowing cloud of gas and dust takes the shape of Thor's mythical helmet and the colors declare the composition of the beautiful patches.

Combining the power of several telescopes, scientists discovered a magnificent image of the black hole in Hercules A.

This computer simulation shows what two merging black holes would look like — gravitational waves rippling away from the impact.
