NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory caught the bubble – called an “astrosphere” – surrounding the juvenile star.

The Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a dramatic interplay of light and shadow in what's called the Egg Nebula.

First spotted in the early 1800s, the celestial object has become one of the most iconic planetary nebulae in the sky, often referred to as the “Eye of God.”

The scenes track the furious expansion of Kepler’s Supernova Remnant, the glowing remains of a star first spotted in 1604 by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler.

For decades, astronomers have tracked changes in its brightness and surface features in hopes of figuring out why the star behaves the way it does.

The disk spans nearly 400 billion miles – around 40 times the diameter of our solar system.

The European Space Agency (ESA) have put together highlights of exciting images and discoveries.

Astronomers said planet PSR J2322-2650b appears to have an exotic helium-and-carbon-dominated atmosphere unlike any ever seen before.

Astronomers say the "huge" new world is six times the size of Jupiter.

Scientists say the best explanation for the longest gamma ray burst is that a black hole consumed a star, but they disagree on exactly how it happened.
