This metamorphic rock formed ~600 million years ago on southwestern Australia's coast during the Precambrian era, amid continent formation and tectonic shifts. Composed of quartz, feldspar, and mica bands, its zebra-like patterns emerged from deep heat and pressure, twisting

This is the Phantom Galaxy (M74), about 32 million light-years away from Earth and spans around 95,000 light years (almost as big as the Milky Way). It contains about 100 billion stars NASA

NGC 6845 (Klemola 30, IRAS 19573-4712) is an interacting galaxy system 293 million light-years away in Telescopium, discovered July 7, 1834, by John Herschel. Similar to Stephan’s Quintet, it comprises four galaxies: PGC 63978 (NGC 6845D, lenticular), PGC 63979 (NGC 6845C,

NGC 5495: Barred Spiral GalaxyNGC 5495 is a large barred spiral galaxy in Hydra, discovered by John Herschel on May 13, 1834.It has luminosity class III, a broad HI line, regions of ionized hydrogen, and is classified as a Seyfert 2 active galaxy.Image Credit:

We may be discovering a new type of cosmic catastrophe. On July 2, the Fermi Space Telescope detected a rare gamma-ray burst, GRB 250702B, which lasted for about 7 hours. This is a record-breaking duration for this type of event. Gamma-ray bursts typically last seconds or

Koalas sleep for up to 20 hours a day.

New JWST image just dropped. This image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope features an H II region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. This nebula, known as N79, is a region of interstellar atomic hydrogen that is ionised,

NASA’s Juno just captured this closest photo of Jupiter’s Volcanic Moon Io.

NGC 1512 is a barred spiral galaxy about 38 million light-years away in the Horologium constellation. It displays a double ring structure: a nuclear ring around the center and an inner ring in the main disk. The galaxy has an extended UV disk with at least 200 recent star-forming

One star dies, birthing a cosmic hourglass : M1-63, a bipolar planetary nebula in Scutum constellation. Formed as a dying star sheds outer layers into gas and dust clouds, shaped by a central binary system channeling material to poles for its hourglass/butterfly

Hubble's image showcases spiral galaxy NGC 4941, about 67 million light-years away in Virgo. Its cosmic proximity lets Hubble capture fine details like star clusters and gas/dust filaments.The image data comes from a program exploring star formation and stellar feedback in nearby
