Double Quasars Illustration Caption: Illustration Shows Quasars Coming Together in Merging Galaxies. This artist's conception shows the brilliant light of two quasars residing in the cores of two galaxies that are in the chaotic process of merging. The gravitational tug-of-war between the two galaxies stretches them, forming long tidal tails and igniting a firestorm of starbirth. Credits: Image - NASA, ESA, Joseph Olmsted (STScI)

Supernova Remnant N 63A Menagerie Caption A violent and chaotic-looking mass of gas and dust is seen in this Hubble Space Telescope image of a nearby supernova remnant. Denoted N 63A, the object is the remains of a massive star that exploded, spewing its gaseous layers out into an already turbulent region.

Stellar Fireworks Are Ablaze in Galaxy NGC 4449 Caption On July 4, fireworks blaze over the skies of American cities in the annual Independence Day celebrations. But nearly 12.5 million light-years away in the dwarf galaxy NGC 4449 stellar "fireworks" are going off all the time. Credits NASA, ESA, A.

Artist's Illustration of Unlensed Source Galaxy Caption: This artist’s illustration portrays what the gravitationally lensed galaxy SDSS J1110+6459 might look like up close. A sea of young, blue stars is streaked with dark dust lanes and studded with bright pink patches that mark sites of star formation. The patches’ signature glow comes from ionized hydrogen, like we see in the Orion Nebula in our own galaxy. Credits: NASA, ESA, and Z. Levay (STScI)
