This is the Sun in its most intricate detail. It's astonishing to think each plasma cell covers an area the size of France. (Credit: NSO/NSF/AURA)

In NGC 346, stars shape space... Blasting out intense radiation and winds, these stellar giants push away gas to form a bubble in the nebula. (Credit: ESA/Hubble &amp; NASA, A. Nota, P. Massey, E. Sabbi, C. Murray, M. Zamani (ESA/Hubble) - video by Universal-Sci)

Travel 15,000 light-years to Sh2-284, a vast nebula where clouds of gas and dust collapse to form new stars. Around them, powerful stellar winds carve enormous pillars stretching across light-years. (Credit: ESO/VPHAS+ team. Ack.: CASU)

Every second, somewhere across the vast universe, a star reaches its explosive end. Here Hubble views one such supernova fade away in galaxy NGC 2525... (Credit: NASA, ESA, J. DePasquale, M. Kornmesser, M. Zamani, A. Riess (STScI/JHU), SH0ES team, Digitized Sky Survey)

Fascinating: Two neutron stars colliding (Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center CI Lab)

A thrilling view of the massive galaxy cluster RX J2129. Gravitational lensing has created three separate images of the same supernova-hosting galaxy, revealed here in closer detail. (Credit: ESA/Webb, NASA &amp; CSA, P. Kelly)
