When an asteroid or other object impacts the surface of a planet, material that was originally beneath the surface is thrown up and out causing scenes like this image captured by NASA’s Mars orbiter. Source: NASA

Here is the Cat’s Eye Nebula (aka NGC 6543) taken from Hubble. It is one of the most complex planetary nebulae ever seen. Planetary nebulae form when Sun-like stars gently eject their outer gaseous layers, creating amazing and confounding shapes as seen in the image.

The Sombrero Galaxy is one of the most unusual looking barred spiral galaxies visible from Earth. Its bright nucleus, large central bulge and spiral arms threaded through with a thick dust lane make it look a little like a hat from Mexico. The dust lane is a ring that circles the bulge of the galaxy, and it is rich with gas, dust, and hydrogen gas. Source: Space-Facts.

The Lagoon Nebula (catalogued as Messier 8 or M8, NGC 6523, Sharpless 25, RCW 146, and Gum 72) is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula and as an H II region.

Once upon a time, Mars had lakes, or at least wetter conditions than it does today. The latest from NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover shows slabs of rock cross-hatched with shallow ridges that likely originated as cracks in drying mud, evidence of an ancient era when these sediments were deposited were.
