Here are seven of the most terrifying things in space, including solar flares, black holes and supernovas.

Studies tell us the Small Magellanic Cloud is about 200,000 light-years away, about 7,000 light-years across, and hosts several hundred million stars.

Wolf-Rayet stars make our sun look tiny. They can be hundreds of times more massive, millions of times brighter, and tens of thousands of degrees hotter.

The Tarantula Nebula, or 30 Doradus, has been newly imaged using the ALMA telescope to capture new details in the beautiful area.

Scientists have new tools at their disposal to detect and study the dramatic explosion of a star

New research shows how the push and pull inaction of energy and gravity shapes the cosmic web of 30 Doradus — the Tarantula Nebula — a site of rapid star formation.

The discovery was made at Indias first dedicated multi-wavelength space observatory UltraViolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) onboard AstroSat.

The find is the first discovery of a dormant black hole outside of the Milky Way. These black holes are not absorbing matter from a nearby star, making them incredibly difficult to detect.

A newly released image from the Hubble Space Telescope captures bright turquoise plumes rippling through the Large Magellanic Cloud like waves in the ocean.
