Astronomers have captured some of the most detailed images ever seen of galaxies in deep space.

The pictures reveal their inner workings in unprecedented detail, and show the role of black holes in creating, and destroying, stars and planets.

I started reading this comment section thinking that this is going to be a really clean one, seeing that this has nothing to do with politics at all. Looks like I got to stop my habit of reading the comment every time I finish watching a news video. BTW scientist keep up the good work and I hope you make more amazing discoveries soon, I would always want to hear all about it.

This shows how insignificant the small blue dot 🌎 is in the black ⚫ void and how we should strive to preserve our planet.

We and more specifically these astronomers are time traveling historians! All these images are depending on the distance between Earth and them are from millions, billions, or trillions of years ago as the light from them has just reached us from so far long ago!

Finished revising with .this is in our curriculum.Lot to study 📚!

[jmpattillo]

That’s amazing. The radio telescope looks like it wasn’t very expensive either.

[normjohnson]

Imagine watching your sun be slowly eaten by a black hole, how sad would that be?

[danielRDmorgan]

Mind blown

Space is beyond amazing

[A.G.Birajdar]

When I close eyes deeply

[rvallee]

Yes, very stunning images, at 720p. You can tell it's stunning by the pixels. There are so few of them.
