Here are 8 beautiful images of space captured by NASA

Stars that vanish from the sky may be collapsing directly into black holes without going supernova first, a new study of a bizarre binary star system suggests.

Peer into the otherworldly beauty of spiral galaxies and dusty nebulas.

Here is an image from the Hubble Space Telescope showing the bright, blue-white stars of the open cluster BSDL 2757 penetrating through the rusty-red tones of gas and dust clouds.

"I saw a star explode and send out the building blocks of the Universe. Other stars, other planets and eventually other life. A supernova! Creation itself! I was there. I wanted to see it and be part of the moment. And you know how I perceived one of the most glorious events in the universe? With these ridiculous gelatinous orbs in my skull!" -Ronald D. Moore, Battlestar Galactica

"The collapse is so complete that no explosion occurs, nothing escapes and one wouldnt see any bright supernova," said researcher Alejandro Vigna-Gómez.

University of Copenhagen astrophysicists help explain a mysterious phenomenon, whereby stars suddenly vanish from the night sky. Their study of an unusual binary star system has resulted in convincing evidence that massive stars can completely collapse and become black holes without a supernova explosion.
