Artist’s Impression of `Oumuamua (Non-annotated) Caption: This artist’s illustration shows the wayward interstellar visitor `Oumuamua (pronounced oh-MOO-ah-MOO-ah) racing toward the outskirts of our solar system. The object, heated by the Sun (lower right), is venting gaseous material from its surface, as a comet would. Credits: NASA, ESA, and J. Olmsted and F. Summers (STScI)

Artist's illustration of exoplanets PDS 70 b and c Caption This artist's illustration shows two gas giant exoplanets orbiting the young star PDS 70. These planets are still growing by accreting material from a surrounding disk. In the process, they have gravitationally carved out a large gap in the disk. The gap extends from distances equivalent to the orbits of Uranus and Neptune in our solar system.

Orion Nebula Caption: NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured an unprecedented look at the Orion Nebula, a turbulent stellar nursery that is one of astronomy's most photogenic celestial regions. Newborn stars reside in a dramatic dust-and-gas landscape of plateaus, mountains, and valleys that are reminiscent of the Grand Canyon. The crisp image reveals a tapestry of star formation, from the dense pillars of gas and dust that may be the homes of fledgling stars to the hot, young, massive stars that have emerged from their gas-and-dust cocoons and are shaping the nebula with their powerful ultrav

A Distant Solar System (Artist's Concept) Caption This artist's concept depicts a distant hypothetical solar system, similar in age to our own. Looking inward from the system's outer fringes, a ring of dusty debris can be seen, and within it, planets circling a star the size of our Sun. Credits NASA/JPL-Caltech/T. Pyle/ssc

Artist's Illustration of SN 2017ein Caption: Artist's Impression of Progenitor Star to a Type Ic Supernova. This is an artist's concept of a blue supergiant star that once existed inside a cluster of young stars in the spiral galaxy NGC 3938, located 65 million light-years away. It exploded as a supernova in 2017, and Hubble Space Telescope archival photos were used to locate the doomed progenitor star, as it looked in 2007. Credits: NASA, ESA, and J. Olmsted (STScI)

Artist's Illustration of Gas Streaming from GJ 3470b Caption: This artist's illustration shows a giant cloud of hydrogen streaming off a warm, Neptune-sized planet just 97 light-years from Earth. The exoplanet is tiny compared to its star, a red dwarf named GJ 3470. The star's intense radiation is heating the hydrogen in the planet's upper atmosphere to a point where it escapes into space. The alien world is losing hydrogen at a rate 100 times faster than a previously observed warm Neptune whose atmosphere is also evaporating away. Credits: NASA, ESA, and D. Player (STScI)
