Exoplanete Gliese 667 Cb - The system Gliese 667 (Artist's impression) - Gliese 667 Cb is an exoplanet orbiting the star Gliese 667 C, located about 23 years ago - light from Earth in the constellation of the scorpion. This super Earth was detected using the HARPS program at the La Silla Observatory in Chile in October 2009. On 19 October 2009, the team who built the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher, better known as HARPS, the spectrograph for ESO's 3.6 - metre telescope, reported on the incredible discovery of some 32 new exoplanets, cementing Harps's position as the world's foremost exoplanet hunter. One of these is surrounding the star Gliese 667 C, which belongs to a triple system. The 6 Earth - mass exoplanet circulates around its low - mass host star at a distance equal to only 1/20th of the Earth - Sun distance. The host star is a companion to two other low - mass stars, which are seen here in the distance

Variable star Mira Ceti view in ultraviolet - Star Mira Ceti seen in ultraviolet - Ultraviolet view of the star Mira of the Whale revealing a long train of material ejected by the large red star. This trail extends over 13 years - light. Mosaic of images obtained by the Galex satellite in November and December 2006. Ultraviolet image of the star Mira taken with the Galex satellite in November and December 2006. In this image, Mira is moving from left to right.

Nebula NGC 6164 - 5 in the Rule - The field around NGC 6164 - 65 - This nebula is located about 4000 years from Earth. It's a bipolar nebula around a hot O star at the end of life. Image obtained by Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. Very hot, massive stars lose substantial amounts of matter from their surfaces during much of their brief lives. Mass - loss is usually a fairly steady process but some stars occasionally develop instabilities and have major outbursts. This star has thrown off at least two distinct lots of material during its lifetime, the brightest and most recent being the bright lobes of NGC 6164 - 5 at the centre of the picture while a much fainter rim of nebulosity can be seen at a considerable distance from the central star, indicating an earlier episode of violent ejection. The nebula is at a distance of about 4200 light years

Nebula NGC 6188 in the Altar - The NGC 6188 nebula and NGC 6193 in Ara - Nebula NGC 6188 is located about 4000 years from Earth. It is home to a cluster of young stars NGC 6193, formed three million years ago. Image obtained by Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. Here we see two bright stars whose radiant energy is beating down on to the surface of a dark cloud, very similar to the Horsehead in Orion. The cloud itself is opaque and because of that, very cold inside. These conditions are ideal for the formation of organic molecules on the surfaces of the chilled dust particles. The opacity of the cloud protects the fragile molecules within from the energetic radiation of nearby stars, but as its surface is gradually warmed and eroded, the delicate organic molecules are destroyed and the hydrogen released glows as a distinctive red emission nebula

The background quasar is the brilliant core of a galaxy. It is powered by a black hole, which is devouring gas and dust and creating a gusher of light in the process.

Visible in the constellation Taurus, this cluster is 440 years from the Earth. The Pleiades star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, is one of the brightest and famous star clusters visible in the northern hemisphere. It consists of about 500 bright, hot, young stars that were all born at the same time between 75 and 150 million years ago within a large cloud of dust and gas. The cluster contains many stars, of which only a handful are commonly visible to the naked eye. The blue haze that accompanies them is due to very fine dust which still remains and preferentially reflects the blue light from the stars. This star cluster lie some 440 light years away from the Earth, in the constellation of Taurus

NGC 3256 is an impressive example of a peculiar galaxy that is actually the relict of a collision of two separate galaxies that took place in a distant past. The telltale signs of the collision are two extended luminous tails swirling out from the galaxy. NGC 3256 belongs to the Hydra - Centaurus supercluster complex and provides a nearby template for studying the properties of young star clusters in tidal tails.

Nebula NGC 6188 in the Altar - NGC 6188 nebula in Ara - Nebula NGC 6188 is located about 4000 years from Earth. It is home to a cluster of young stars NGC 6193, formed three million years ago. Lower left, nebula NGC 6164. Image obtained through 3 different filters that highlight oxygen (blue), hydrogen (green), and sulfur (red). NGC 6188 is a red emission nebula located in southern constellation of Ara, about 4000 light years away. Inside of it, a young 3 million year star cluster. NGC 6193. The hottest stars of the cluster, two closely spaced O - type giants HD 150135 and HD 150136, (the bright stars in the image) are the illumination source of the emission nebula. Bottom left is the nebula NGC 6164. This image is in the classic “” Hubble palette”” where SII is assigned to red, H - alpha to green, and OIII to blue. RGB frames were taken for star colors

Nebula NGC 7635 in Cassiopee - Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) in Cassiopeia - This nebula is located about 7100 years - light from Earth. A massive star, called Wolf - Rayet, is responsible for the formation of this bubble; it is the star BD+60* 2522. The Bubble Nebula in Cassiopeia is one of the most dramatic emission nebulae visible in the northern hemisphere. Lying at a distance of about 7,000 light - years away and spanning six light - years in diameter, NGC 7635 is quite bright with a magnitude of 7.0. The star in the middle of the bubble, BD+602522, is responsible for this stunning site, for this very hot star emits so much UV radiation that it is able to also heat and excite the surrounding dust and gas, thus emitting its own radiation. It is a Wolf - Rayet star, a very luminous star and also very short - lived. This Wolf - Rayet star is 40 times as massive than our sun

Open cluster NGC 3293 in Carene - Open star cluster NGC 3293 in Carina - Star cluster located in the constellation Carene about 8500 years ago - light from Earth. Unlike the Sun, many stars are found in brilliant clusters such as NGC 3293 where they spend their lives. At birth, which should have been at much the same time for all the stars in NGC 3293, the most massive stars are hot and very luminous and therefore appear as the brightest blue stars. With time they deplete their supplies of nuclear fuel, hydrogen. This evolutionary process involves cooling, so that the stars become redder, and would ordinarily disappear from view, but they also swell to gigantic proportions and so remain visible. The bright orange star in NGC 3293 is the member of the cluster which has aged fastest. This cluster is in the constellation of Carina at a distance of about 8500 light years

Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, seen from space shuttle Discovery - Lake Ontario, lake Erie seen from space shuttle - In this picture taken at sunset, water bodies stand out, relaying the light of the Sun. In the foreground is Lake Ontario with the St. Lawrence River; above, Lake Erie. Image obtained by the shuttle Discovery on October 21, 2000. The STS - 92 Space Shuttle astronauts photographed upstate New York at sunset on October 21, 2000. Water bodies (Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, the Finger Lakes, the St. Lawrence and Niagara Rivers) are highlighted by sunglint (sun reflecting off the water surface), making for a dramatic and unusual regional view. The photograph was taken looking toward the southwest from southern Canada, and captures a regional smog layer extending across central New York, western Lake Erie and Ohio, and further west. The layer of atmospheric pollution layer is capped by an atmospheric inversion, which is marked by the layer of clouds at the top of the photograph
