Apep — the serpent of chaos.

A rare star system where powerful stellar winds
create spiraling waves of cosmic dust…

A silent storm in deep space.

Something ancient.
Something unstoppable.

Death in space…
looks like art

Red Spider Nebula (NGC 6537)
Formed by a dying star, releasing gas and dust into space.
Stellar winds sculpt this glowing cosmic shape.

Horsehead Nebula
A dark cloud of gas and dust shaped by cosmic forces, captured by Hubble.

A shadow in space…
yet full of stars.

Cat’s Paw Nebula (NGC 6334)
A stellar nursery where new stars are being born.

Infrared (Webb) and X-ray (Chandra) reveal hidden young stars behind thick cosmic dust.

Birthplace of stars…
hidden in darkness.

The Leo Triplet
Three galaxies… bound by gravity, drifting together through space.

30 million light-years away,
each one seen from a different angle —
yet connected in silence.

What looks separate…
is already one.

The Twin Jet Nebula
A dying star… forming wings of light.

About 1,200 years ago,
a powerful stellar outburst shaped these glowing jets.

At its core: not one star —
but two, locked together.

This is the deepest X-ray image ever of the Tarantula Nebula (30 Doradus) , a massive star-forming region.
Located 160,000 light-years away, it reveals how stars are born using combined data from Webb, Hubble, Chandra, and ALMA.
This is where stars are born…
and where the universe keeps beginning again.

Starstruck

A moment frozen in infinity.
The Artemis II crew captured our home — the Milky Way.

A galaxy of billions…
yet we see it as a whisper of light.

SMILE Mission

ESA and China are exploring how Earth protects itself from solar radiation.
For the first time, we will see how solar wind interacts with Earth’s magnetic field.

Understanding this invisible shield helps explain how life survives on our planet.

Helix Nebula

Captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, this dying star reveals a cosmic transformation.
Colliding gas and dust create intricate structures — the raw material of future stars and planets.

Nothing in the universe is wasted…
even death becomes creation.

Artemis II flight day 10 : Re-entry

After a journey around the Moon, the crew returns home.
The Orion spacecraft safely splashes down in the Pacific Ocean.

From deep space… back to Earth.

Planet-forming Discs

James Webb captured two young star systems surrounded by protoplanetary discs.
These discs are where dust and gas slowly come together to form planets.

Seen edge-on, the star is hidden and glowing dust appears above and below the disc.

Planets are born in these cosmic structures.

Circinus Galaxy

Webb and Hubble reveal the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Circinus Galaxy.
Hot gas and dust swirl around it, glowing as they fall inward.

Black holes are invisible…
but the matter around them makes them shine.

IC 1623

Two galaxies collide and begin to merge, igniting intense bursts of new star formation.
Hidden within the chaos, a supermassive black hole may be forming.

When galaxies meet…
they don’t end — they transform.
