From 2014-2016, the European Space Agency’s Rosetta spacecraft followed the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67p) around space: collecting scientific data, sending a probe to its surface, and capturing 400,000 photographs of the comet. This cinematic video was made from those photos.

Researchers found a few thousand strange young stars at the edge of our galaxy and concluded that these had formed from material bitten off of the Large and Small Magellanic clouds, a pair of dwarf galaxies that the Milky Way will eventually consume. 808

NASA's upcoming James Webb Space Telescope is going to investigate The 'jellyfish' galaxy, named ESO 137-001. Its long tail of hot gas stretches across 260,000 light-years of space, and it's filled with newborn stars. 808

New research using the Keck Observatory at Mauna Kea shows galaxies in some cases generate exhaust as they speed through space. This image shows emissions from the newly named distant galaxy Makani. The cloud extends about 326,000 light-years. 808
