an image of many different objects in the dark night sky with stars all over it

"Galaxies, galaxies everywhere - as far as NASA's Hubble Space Telescope can see. This view of nearly 10,000 galaxies is the deepest visible-light image of the cosmos. Called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, this galaxy-studded view represents a "deep" core sample of the universe, cutting across billions of light-years."

The Largest Structure in The Universe 🏆 It’s named BOSS. What do you think it looks like?? 🤔 The Boss Great Wall is a supercluster of galaxies that span over a billion light years across. This makes it the largest structure we’ve ever observed. It’s named after the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey - an international effort to map galaxies and quasars. The wall is made up of 830 separate galaxies that gravity turned into four superclusters; connected by massive filaments of hot gas…

an image of two stars in the sky with one light blue and one dark red

This 12.5hr exposure peers deep inside the Great Nebula in Orion. The ionisation of Hydrogen atoms by ultra violet radiation, emitted by massive stars deep inside the nebula, produce the predominantly red hues. Clouds of fine dust appear blue-grey due to the scattering of short visible light wavelengths in a process known as Rayleigh scattering. Cold foreground dust and dark molecular hydrogen create a fine intricate web of obscuring dark clouds. The combined atomic and optical processes…

several blue and white bubbles floating in the air with stars around them on a black background

Ernst Mach, the Austrian physicist-philosopher of the late 19th century, famously denied the reality of atoms. “Have you ever seen one?” he mockingly asked of atom advocates. Today many scientists speak with similar derision about the idea that the visible universe is not alone, but rather is only one of many universes—a single bubble in a froth of cosmic carbonation known as the multiverse. You can’t see these other universes, so the idea is not testable, multiverse opponents allege…

Macro-Cosmos – Heading Out Into The Universe Out, out we fly... we're heading into space to explore the macro-cosmos of our galaxies. With a big hat-tip to the traveling Hubble Space Telescope and the generosity of NASA for sharing its photos, we zoom into space. This galax
