This artist concept illustrates a supermassive black hole with millions to billions times the mass of our sun. Supermassive black holes are enormously dense objects buried at the hearts of galaxies.

This image from the High-Resolution Instrument on NASA EPOXI mission spacecraft shows part of the nucleus of comet Hartley 2. The sun is illuminating the nucleus from the right. A distinct cloud of individual particles is visible.
Ver en NASA ↗This artist concept shows the immediate aftermath of a large asteroid impact around NGC 2547-ID8, a 35-million-year-old sun-like star thought to be forming rocky planets.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Spitzer Space Telescope shows what lies near the sword of the constellation Orion -- an active stellar nursery containing thousands of young stars and developing protostars. Many will turn out like our sun.
Ver en NASA ↗A brilliant spot of sunlight, the opposition effect, travels outward across the rings as the Cassini spacecraft orbits Saturn. This surge in ring brightness is created around the point directly opposite the Sun from the spacecraft
Ver en NASA ↗As comets C/2012 S1 ISON and the well-known short-period comet 2P/Encke both approached their closest distances to the Sun in November, 2013, they also passed close to the MESSENGER spacecraft orbiting the innermost planet Mercury.
Ver en NASA ↗This mosaic of the surface of asteroid Vesta was made from images obtained by NASA Dawn spacecraft while the area was entirely in the sun shadow. Light reflecting off of other areas of Vesta provides the only illumination.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Galileo spacecraft captured this dramatic image of mountains on Io. The Sun was low in the sky. A low scarp runs from the upper left toward the center of the image. The jagged ridge is Mongibello Mons.
Ver en NASA ↗The low sun elevation in this image of NASA Dawn spacecraft of asteroid Vesta enhances small topographic details near the rim of the large crater, part of which is visible in the bottom left of the image.
Ver en NASA ↗After passing Mercury the first time and making a trip around the Sun, NASA Mariner 10 again flew by Mercury on Sept. 21, 1974. This encounter brought the spacecraft in front of Mercury in the southern hemisphere.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA MESSENGER spacecraft Narrow Angle Camera NAC on the Mercury Dual Imaging System MDIS acquired this view of Mercury surface illuminated obliquely from the right by the Sun.
Ver en NASA ↗This Hubble telescope snapshot of MyCn18, a young planetary nebula, reveals that the object has an hourglass shape with an intricate pattern of etchings in its walls. A planetary nebula is the glowing relic of a dying, Sun-like star.
Ver en NASA ↗This graphic shows the relative positions of NASA most distant spacecraft in early 2011, looking at the solar system from the side. Voyager 1 is the most distant spacecraft, 10.9 billion miles away from the sun at a northward angle.
Ver en NASA ↗Epimetheus 116 kilometers, or 72 miles across, at right and Janus 181 kilometers, or 113 miles across, at left are lit here by reflected greylight from Saturn. The Sun brightens only thin slivers of the moonssurfaces.
Ver en NASA ↗After passing Mercury the first time and making a trip around the Sun, NASA Mariner 10 again flew by Mercury on Sept. 21, 1974. This encounter brought the spacecraft in front of Mercury in the southern hemisphere.
Ver en NASA ↗This image shows the dust density and the growth of structure in a simulated disk, which extends about 100 times farther from its star than Earth orbit around the sun.
Ver en NASA ↗Surveyor 6 casting 18-meter long shadow with Sun just 8° above the horizon. Surveyor 6 Landed 10 November 1967 in Sinus Medii. This image was taken by NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Ver en NASA ↗It is early springtime in the southern hemisphere of Mars in this image from NASA Mars Odyssey. The south polar cap is now illuminated by the sun and the surface can be studied as it changes with the passage of spring.
Ver en NASA ↗This artist concept shows hundreds of brown dwarfs deep red, expected to be added to the population of known stars in our solar neighborhood. Our sun and other known stars appear white, yellow or red.
Ver en NASA ↗The artist concept depicts Kepler-69c, a super-Earth-size planet in the habitable zone of a star like our sun, located about 2,700 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus.
Ver en NASA ↗This image, taken by the framing camera aboard NASA Dawn spacecraft, shows several unnamed craters superimposed upon one another. The low sun angle enhances the topography of this densely cratered region.
Ver en NASA ↗With giant Saturn hanging in the blackness and sheltering Cassini from the sun blinding glare, the spacecraft viewed the rings as never before, revealing previously unknown faint rings and even glimpsing its home world.
Ver en NASA ↗New data from the Herschel Space Observatory suggest comets are constantly smashing together around the star Fomalhaut, a young star, just a few hundred million years old, and twice as massive as the sun.
Ver en NASA ↗This infrared image from NASA Spitzer Space Telescope shows the broken Comet 73P/Schwassman-Wachmann 3 skimming along a trail of debris left during its multiple trips around the sun.
