This image shows a detailed, thousand-colour image of the Sculptor Galaxy captured with the MUSE instrument at ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT). Regions of pink light are spread throughout this whole galactic snapshot, which come from ionised hydrogen in star-forming regions. These areas have been overlaid on a map of already formed stars in Sculptor to create the mix of pinks and blues seen here.

A major study from the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian has found the Universe’s missing matter using Fast Radio Bursts—brief radio flashes from distant galaxies. This illustration shows one such burst traveling through the intergalactic medium, where longer wavelengths (red) slow down more than shorter ones (blue), helping astronomers detect otherwise invisible matter.

This illustration depicts material in a swirling disk actively falling into a supermassive black hole. A powerful jet of particles shoots away from the black hole, extending upwards and to the right.

This artist's conception shows a disk of dust and gas surrounding a young star with a large cavity carved out by a forming giant planet. The warm methanol gas tracing the dust cavity wall is highlighted. These molecules originate from ices rich in organic matter that are heated by radiation from the star, forming gas. The detection of methanol, as well as the methanol isotopes, supports the idea that interstellar ices can survive the formation of planet-forming disks.

Artwork depicting the exoplanet TOI-6894b around a red dwarf star. This planet is unusual because, given the size/mass of the planet relative to the very low mass of the star, this planet should not have been able to form. The planet is vary large compared to its parent star, shown here to scale. With the known temperature of the star, the planet is expected to only be approximately 420 degrees Kelvin at the top of its atmosphere. This means its atmosphere may contain methane and ammonia, amongst other species. This would make this planet (one of) the first planets outside the Solar System where we can observe Nitrogen which alongside Carbon and Oxygen is a key building block for life. Created for a press release by scientists at the UK's Warwick University.

This illustration shows the stage when WASP-121b gathered most of its gas, based on recent findings. It suggests the forming planet had already cleared its distant orbit of solid, ice-rich pebbles, creating a gap that blocked further pebble accretion. After this stage, WASP-121b likely migrated inward from the cold outer regions to its current, close-in orbit around its star.
