Probe massive physical phenomena existing deep within the void. Peer into spatial singularities where physics breaks down, gaze at dust nebulas forming solar nurseries, and observe the echoes of titanic stellar explosions.
A region of spacetime exhibiting gravitational acceleration so strong that nothing—no particles or even electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from it. The boundary of the region from which no escape is possible is called the event horizon.
| Common Name | Sagittarius A* |
| Estimated Mass | 4.1 Million Solar Masses |
| Host Location | Galactic Center (Milky Way) |
| Distance to Earth | ~26,670 Light Years |
An interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases. Acting as astronomical nurseries, these clouds slowly collapse under gravitational forces, condensing matter until core pressure triggers thermonuclear fusion, giving birth to young stars.
| Common Name | Orion Nebula (M42) |
| Classification | Emission / Reflection Nebula |
| Diameter | ~24 Light Years |
| Distance to Earth | ~1,344 Light Years |
The structure resulting from the colossal explosion of a star in a supernova. The remnant is bounded by an expanding shock wave, consisting of ejected material flying outward from the blast and the interstellar material it sweeps up and shocks along the way.
| Common Name | Crab Nebula (M1) |
| Remnant Core Type | Pulsar (Neutron Star) |
| Explosion Observed | 1054 AD (By Historical Astronomers) |
| Distance to Earth | ~6,500 Light Years |
