Exoplanets- an Interactive map
XKCD published an infographic a few weeks ago, showing 786 known exoplanets (planets orbiting suns other than our own) in our Milky Way galaxy, and the Planetary Habitability Laboratory has released an interactive version of that map. Go to the interactive map.
Within Two Worlds
A timelapse from Brad Goldpaint giving us the illusion of times movement while traveling in the midst of a dream. Star-trails sequence, the Milky Way, Auroras and more. Fantastic video!
Milky Way, Andromeda Galaxy heading for collision (video)
The next major cosmic event to affect our galaxy, Sun, and solar system will be the titanic collision of our Milky Way galaxy with the neighboring Andromeda galaxy.

The Andromeda Galaxy by GALEX
Our neighbor Andromeda Galaxy (also known as M31), 2.5 million light-years away and spanning some 260,000 light-years. It took 11 different image fields from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite’s telescope to produce this gorgeous portrait of the spiral galaxy in ultraviolet light.

The Light of Stars
An astronomical timelapse captures the true beauty of the landscape and the night sky in National Park Teide, Tenerife. What the eye can not see because of darkness, we can capture and display as a video with colors.

Billions of Habitable Worlds in the Milky Way
A new study from the European Southern Observatory announced via its HARPS planet finder, suggesting that Earth-sized rocky planets, are very common around faint red stars.
Milky Way over Historic kilns
What’s that below the Milky Way? Historic kilns. Built in the 1870s in rural Nevada, USA to process local wood into charcoal, the kilns were soon abandon due to a town fire and flooding, but remain in good condition even today. Photographer Tom McEwan
What are years
It’s leap year time… so what are years, anyway? And what do they have to do with the supermassive black hole in the core of the Milky Way?
Galactic Storm
The photo above showing the Milky Way stretching across the desert sky and a distant monsoon thunderstorm on the horizon was captured just outside of Dead Horse Point State Park in Utah. Photographer: Bret Webster, site of Bret
