Just how massive are nebulae? Nebulae are giant clouds of interstellar gas and dust and are often star-forming regions. This image of the Carina nebula, with our solar system placed in for scale, shows just how massive nebulae can be, often spanning light years across. via /r/spaceporn

New evidence suggests a Neptune-sized Planet 9 in our solar system’s outskirts. Researchers argue that small bodies beyond Neptune cluster due to Planet 9’s gravitational pull. Unlike evenly spread asteroids, these bodies form clumps, hinting at a larger object herding them. via /r/spaceporn

Extraordinary footage of a comet colliding with a planet for the first time. In 1994, pieces of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 crashed into Jupiter, creating massive dark scars and superheated plumes. Had it hit Earth, it could have caused a global disaster like the one that wiped out the dinosaurs. via /r/spaceporn

Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Ton 618 is one of the largest black holes ever discovered. The size difference between them is almost unbelievable. Ton 618 is 27,000x larger than Sgr A* in terms of diameter, and 15,000x more massive. via /r/spaceporn
