Greedy Black Hole Gobbles Three Earth's Worth Of Star Stuff Every MonthAn optical image of the galaxy in which the new event occurred, taken from archival PanSTARRS data. The X-ray object was located to somewhere inside the white circle, which is about the size a pinhead 100m away would appear. The position of a 2 year old supernova is also shown.

Fast And Bright Stellar Explosion Could Be A New Cosmic CollisionArtist's impression depicting a compact object – either a black hole or a neutron star – feeding on gas from a companion star in a binary system. Since gas cannot fall in from all directions in a rotating system, it forms a swirling disc around the compact object.

Dark And Bright Spots Seen On Neptune From Earth For The First TimeThis image shows Neptune observed with the MUSE instrument at ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT). At each pixel within Neptune, MUSE splits the incoming light into its constituent colours or wavelengths. This is similar to obtaining images at thousands of different wavelengths all at once, which provides a wealth of valuable information to astronomers.Dark And Bright Spots Seen On Neptune From Earth For The First TimeThis image shows Neptune observed with the MUSE instrument at ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT).
