From galaxies to stars to planets, the world's largest and most powerful telescope has captured the allure of outer space in vibrant colours.

The festive-looking galaxy, named UGC 8091, is around 7 million light-years away, and is a strange type of "irregular" galaxy.

The discovery of stars with their outer layers of hydrogen stripped by companions fills a glaring hole in our understanding of supernovas and binary systems with colliding neutron stars.

Potentially, the 1st "extragalactic" star found at the heart of our galaxy S0–6 appears to have taken a 10 billion-year-long journey to reach the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole.
