PIX4572713: Artist's view of a fugitive star - A runaway star in the Large Magellanic cloud - The star HE0457 - 5439 is a massive star in the Grand Cloud of Magellan; it is a star escaping from this galaxy at a speed of 2.6 Million km/h Background image obtained at the observatory of La Silla in Chile; the star fleeing has been added on the image. The star HE0457 - 5439 is a massive star wich lies closer to one of the Milky Way satellite galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud, located 160,000 light - years away from us. This is a runaway star, moving at more than 2.6 million kilometers per hour. Astronomers find it likely for the star to have reached its present position had it been ejected from the centre of the LMC. The background image has been obtained at La Silla observatory, the star moving has been added / Bridgeman Images

PIX4572892: Binary pulsar and gravitational waves - Artist's impression of the pulsar PSR J0348+0432 and its white dwarf companion - Artist's view of a gravitational wave generated by a system of a neutron star associated with a white dwarf, spreading on the fabric of space - time. This artist's impression shows the exotic double object that consists of a tiny, but very heavy neutron star that spins 25 times each second, orbited every two and a half hours by a white dwarf star. The neutron star is a pulsar named PSR J0348+0432 that is giving off radio waves that can be picked up on Earth by radio telescopes. Although this unusual pair is very interesting in its own right it is also a unique laboratory for testing the limits of physical theories. This system is radiating gravitational radiation, ripples in spacetime. Although these waves cannot be detected directly by astronomers on Earth they can be detected indirectly by measuring the change in the orbit of the system as it loses energy. As the pulsar is so small the relative sizes of the two objects are not drawn to scale / Bridgeman Images

PIX4573375: Exoplanete HD 209458b - Artist's view - This exoplanet located in the constellation Pegase, about 150 years ago - light from Earth, seems to be a gas giant whose hydrogene evaporates. An international team of astronomers led by Alfred Vidal - Madjar (Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris, CNRS, France) observed the first signs of oxygen and carbon in the atmosphere of a planet beyond our Solar System for the first time using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The atoms of carbon and oxygen are swept up from the lower atmosphere with the flow of escaping atmospheric atomic hydrogen - like dust in a supersonic whirlwind - in a process called atmospheric 'blow off'.

PIX4573447: Artist's view of a hot Jupiter HD 149026b - Exoplanet HD 149026b - Hot Jupiter - HD 149026b (in the background) is to date the hottest exoplanet in the universe. This warm Jupiter reaches a temperature of 2000 degrees; it absorbs almost all the light of its star and is therefore also the darkest planet in the universe. HD 149026b is located 256 years - light in the constellation Hercules. This artist's concept illustrates the hottest planet yet observed in the universe. This “” hot Jupiter”” called HD 149026b, is a sweltering 3,700 degrees Fahrenheit (2,040 degrees Celsius) - about 3 times hotter than the rocky surface of Venus, the hottest planet in our solar system. The planet is so hot that astronomers believe it is absorbing almost all of the heat from its star, and reflecting very little to no light. Objects that reflect no sunlight are black. Consequently, HD 149026b might be the blackest known planet in the universe, in addition to the hottest. HD 149026b is located 256 light - years away in the constellation Hercules. It is the smallest known transiting planet, with a size similar to Saturn's and a suspected dense core 70 to 90 times the mass of Earth. It speeds around its star every 2.9 days. Here, the planet is seen at night / Bridgeman Images
