Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the biggest and brightest explosions in the Universe. These brief but unbelievably powerful blasts are triggered by the birth of a black hole. A major burst releases more energy in a matter of seconds than our Sun does in its entire lifetime. Unreal. 📽️ Credit: NASA & ESA

The Milky Way Galaxy is our galactic home; a uniquely special place in the Universe. This beautiful barred spiral galaxy is estimated to contain roughly 100 billion stars and is over 100,000 light-years in diameter. It formed in the early Universe and is thought to be around 13.6 billion years old. It takes our solar system 200 million years to complete one full orbit around this gorgeous galaxy. The last time our solar system was in this location, dinosaurs ruled the Earth. The Milky Way is just one seemingly average galaxy in a cosmic sea of galaxies. But it contains life, and that makes it remarkable. 📽️ Credit: ESO/M. Kornmesser
