In this cool space wallpaper, the Veil Nebula, left behind by the explosion of a massive star thousands of years ago, is one of the largest and most spectacular supernova remnants in the sky.

Here’s how it works. This beautiful space wallpaper is a composite image combining a new infrared view of the Crab Nebula, obtained with ESA’s Herschel Space Observatory, with an optical image ...

Ever wish you could own your very own nebula? Well, if you happen to own a 3D printer, these massive interstellar clouds can be all yours. A team of NASA astronomers have come together to create ...

Kastner said tracking the velocities and locations of those molecules, which were thrown out by the dying, sun-like star that ...

To do this, the team first removed the stars from the images, and then extracted the nebula's many shapes and layers, before re-assembling these "cut-outs" in 3D space. Akin to erecting scenery on ...

The truly massive clouds of gas and dust that we call Nebulae are often the subjects of some spectacular photography, but these pictures leave the task of visualizing the 3D-space a nebula takes ...

That changed recently when Wolfgang Steffen, an astrophysicist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, using software called "Shape," created a 3D-printed model of the Homunculus Nebula.

NASA has released a stunning 3D video showing what it would look like to fly through the famous 'Pillars of Creation' nebula. The very first images of the nebula, located around 6,500 light-years ...
