The ESA’s Euclid telescope captured a stunning Einstein ring around NGC 6505’s core, formed as the galaxy bends and magnifies light from a distant background galaxy through gravitational lensing.

The Sun’s magnetic field flips every 11 years, marking solar maximum, its most active phase, with intensified solar events, unlike Earth’s relatively stable magnetic field.

NGC 2419 appears as a faint globular cluster in Lynx, though in reality it’s a massive and luminous object that’s a distant outlier of our Milky Way Galaxy.

A bizarre exoplanet whose orbit takes it from the frozen wastelands of its planetary system to the inner edge of its habitable zone is challenging astronomers’ concepts of what kinds of planets can potentially support life.

Though the Milky Way and Andromeda formed billions of years ago, evidence shows they have very different evolutionary histories despite sharing the same cosmological neighbourhood.

The Horsehead Nebula is a small dark nebula in the constellation Orion. Resembling a horse's head is located just to the south of Alnitak, the easternmost star of Orion's Belt. Nearby, the Flame Nebula appears like its name in astrophotos.

Messier 67 is an ancient open cluster in the southern, equatorial half of Cancer. It was discovered by Johann Gottfried Koehler in 1779. It is a truly ancient cluster, with some astronomers calculating that it’s as old as five billion years!

The Quadrantid meteor shower kicks off the meteor-watching calendar, peaking this year on 3 January. Renowned for its reliability, it consistently ranks among the best annual meteor displays.
