The stuff of the cosmos is organized in units we call galaxies. Galaxies consist of stars, planets, and nebulae. Dense concentrations of stars are
It is one of the brightest planetary nebulae on the sky -- what should it be named? First discovered in 1878, nebula NGC 7027 can be seen toward th

Thunderstorms almost spoiled this view of the spectacular 2011 June 15 total lunar eclipse. Instead, storm clouds parted for 10 minutes during the
Some storms on Jupiter are quite complex. The swirling storm was captured late last month by the NASA's robotic Juno spacecraft currently orbit
What is that light in the sky? Perhaps one of humanity's more common questions, an answer may result from a few quick observations. For example
A strong solar event last September triggered intense global aurora at Mars. Before (left) and during (right) the solar storm, these projections sh
