Astronomers have captured a rare cosmic event near the nearby star Fomalhaut. Two large asteroids collided, creating massive clouds of dust. Observing these collisions as they happen provides a unique chance to understand how planetary systems form. This also offers clues about the early days of our own solar system. Fomalhaut has long puzzled researchers. In 2008, Paul Kalas from the University of California, Berkeley, and his team reported what seemed to be a giant planet orbiting the young star. Their discovery was based on Hubble Space Telescope images from 2004 and 2005. The object, called Fomalhaut b, sparked debate. Astronomers questioned whether it was a planet slightly larger than Jupiter or a cloud of debris....

In his newest deep-space image, astrophotographer Greg Meyer turns the cosmos into a canvas. His subject — a nebula shaped like a furious baboon — has been dubbed the Rampaging Baboon Nebula. Streams of gas and dust weave through the frame, glowing in hues that give the scene a startling sense of movement. The photograph spotlights the complex beauty and creative chaos that define our galaxy’s stellar nurseries. A Nebula Like No Other The nebula lies about 500 light-years away in the constellation Corona Australis. Its shape suggests the face of a mandrill, with molecular dust sculpting the mouth and facial contours. The bright blue eyes are created by reflection nebulas that scatter starlight, adding a...
