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).

Like an illustration in a galactic Just So Story!

A star cluster around 2 million years young surrounded by natal clouds of dust and glowing gas, M16 is also known as The Eagle Nebula.

On July 20, 1969 the Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle safely touched down on the Moon.

Close-up images of NGC 3242 show the cast off shroud of a dying, sun-like star fancifully known as The Ghost of Jupiter nebula.

This close-up was taken from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's HiRISE camera.

"Oh my God! Look at that picture over there! Here's the Earth coming up. Wow is that pretty!"

This cosmic close-up looks deep inside the Soul Nebula.

Beautiful spiral galaxy NGC 6744 is nearly 175,000 light-years across, larger than our own Milky Way.

NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) began its search for planets orbiting other stars by leaving planet Earth on April 18.
