How far can you see?

Massive stars in our Milky Way Galaxy live spectacular lives.

It is the most massive of the Milky Way's satellite galaxies.

Image data from the Hubble Space Telescope, the European Southern Observatory, and small telescopes on planet Earth are combined in this magnificent portrait of face-on spiral galaxy Messier 61 (M61).

Globular star cluster Omega Centauri, also known as NGC 5139, is some 15,000 light-years away.

Large spiral galaxy NGC 4945 is seen edge-on near the center of this cosmic galaxy portrait.

What would it look like to orbit a black hole?

What could shoot out a neutron star like a cannon ball?

This dance is to the death. Along the way, as these two large galaxies duel, a cosmic bridge of stars, gas, and dust currently stretches over 75,000 light-years and joins them.

This is a good month to see Jupiter.
