Dione and Rhea glide across Saturn’s nearly edge-on rings in this November view. Ring plane crossings briefly hide the thin rings, with the next series from Earth starting in 2038. (Image: Christopher Go/NASA)
The observable universe spans everything light reveals, from nearby stars to the cosmic microwave background. It may be one small region within a larger universe or an even broader multiverse. (Image: Wikipedia, Pablo Carlos Budassi)

Globular cluster M15 packs over 100,000 ancient stars into a dense core. Long exposures reveal faint surrounding dust. The cluster lies 35,000 light-years away in Pegasus. (Image: Alvaro Ibanez Perez/NASA)
Edge-on galaxy NGC 1055 spans over 100,000 light-years, showing dust lanes, star-forming regions and a faint boxy halo likely built from a disrupted companion galaxy. (Image: John Hayes/NASA)
