Stellar wind machine
Some stars explode in slow motion. Rare, massive Wolf-Rayet stars they are losing mass rapidly by means of a very strong stellar wind, with speeds up to 2000 km/s. They typically lose 10 solar masses a year, a billion times higher than the sun.
Solar System’s Solid Surfaces in one map
These are Solar system‘s solid surfaces combing them in one map, titled “Space Without the Space” made by Randall Munroe.
Galactic fireworks
Impressive ongoing galactic fireworks, about 23 million light years away. Rather than paper, powder and fire, this galactic light show involves a giant black hole, shock waves and vast reservoirs of gas.
