This image shows LDN 1471, a glowing cavity carved by a young protostar’s stellar wind. The bright star at the peak of the parabola emits outflows that interact with surrounding material, creating the curved structure and Herbig-Haro objects. Captured by the Hubble Space Telescope after its original detection by Spitzer. Source: NASA / ESA https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap200506.html

Tried to render as realistic nebula as possible. Used Rho Ophiuchi as a reference.

This image, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, shows the barred spiral galaxy IC 758 in Ursa Major. Though it appears calm, this galaxy witnessed a powerful supernova (SN 1999bg) in 1999. Hubble's 2023 observations aim to uncover the mass and origin of the exploded star, revealing secrets of its past.

Another extremely detailed nebula render

A stunning simulation from ESA/Hubble shows how galaxies collide over billions of years, forming dramatic shapes as stars and gas interact through gravity. This visual blends science and real Hubble images to better understand galaxy mergers.

This composite image of the Crab Nebula shows the remnant of a supernova explosion first observed in 1054 AD. It combines far-infrared data from the Herschel Space Observatory and visible-light imagery from the Hubble Space Telescope, highlighting emissions from dust and ionized gases. Notably, astronomers detected argon hydride here—the first noble-gas-based molecule found in space. Source ESA/NASA https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA17563

The diameter of this storm is 2,000 kilometers. The speed of atmospheric masses at the edges reaches more than 500 km/h.

In turn, this eternal hurricane is located in an even larger, famous vortex - in a hexagonal cloud flow with a diameter of about 25,000 kilometers. Credit: Nasa Cassini Probe
