A 3-D map of the strange remains of a supernova seen in 1181 traces the odd tendrils of gas that jut out for several light-years in all directions.

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a spiral galaxy under the "ram pressure" inside a massive cluster of galaxies.

Wolf-Rayet 124, a star captured by NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, is surrounded by a nebula with random, asymmetric ejections, resembling tadpoles and tails.
