    Meet Simeis 147, a tangled heap of cosmic clouds also known as the Spaghetti Nebula. Resembling a lumpy, sauce-covered meatball, the nebula measures about 150 light-years across and is located 3,000 light-years from Earth. Simeis 147 is a supernova remnant that was born when a massive star exploded some 40,000 years ago. Astrophotographer Ron Brecher captured this view of the nebula from his backyard SkyShed observatory in Guelph, Canada.

    A gorgeous, green meteor flies toward the northern lights in this stunning image by astrophotographer Matthew Skinner. He captured the meteor over a mountain range near Palmer, Alaska just after midnight on Dec. 14, when the Geminid meteor shower was at its peak. To the left of the meteor, a lime-green aurora peeks out from the top of the mountain range.

    Clouds and storms swirl on Jupiter in this image from NASA's Juno spacecraft. Citizen scientist Kevin Gill used data collected by the spacecraft's JunoCam imager during a flyby on July 11 to create this color-enhanced view.

    Is it just me or does it look like the Chinese Space Agency stole their logo from Star Trek?

    The last message that NASA ever received from the Opportunity Rover on Mars. They've tried for months to bring it back online, but they're received no responses and they are finally declaring the mission over. Opportunity was supposed to have a 3 month mission on the red planet and ended up going for 15 years.

    Meteor Misses Galaxy
    Image Credit: Aman Chokshi

    Explanation: The galaxy was never in danger. For one thing, the Triangulum galaxy (M33), pictured, is much bigger than the tiny grain of rock at the head of the meteor. For another, the galaxy is much farther away -- in this instance 3 million light years as opposed to only about 0.0003 light seconds. Even so, the meteor's path took it angularly below the galaxy. Also the wind high in Earth's atmosphere blew the meteor's glowing evaporative molecule train away from the galaxy, in angular projection. Still, the astrophotographer was quite lucky to capture both a meteor and a galaxy in a single exposure -- which was subsequently added to two other images of M33 to bring up the spiral galaxy's colors. At the end, the meteor was gone in a second, but the galaxy will last billions of years.
