On November 12, 1833, there was a meteor shower so intense that it was possible to see up to 100,000 meteors crossing the sky every hour. At the time, many thought it was the end of the world, so much so that it inspired this woodcut by Adolf Vollmy.

The Storm Of A Trillion Stars NGC 2841 is over 150,000 light years across, 50% bigger than our Milky Way. It lies 46 million light-years away in the constellation of Ursa Major (The Great Bear)

Solar eclipse from the South Pole The left is the South Pole Telescope and the right is BICEP/Keck (that collaboration at least, can't tell which one they were running at the time).

The most distant black hole known to humanity GN-z11 is an extremely distant, ancient galaxy existed only 400 million years after the Big Bang, which means we see it as it was 13.4 billion years ago. It's very luminous,

Four images of the same distant quasar appear in the middle of the foreground galaxy due to strong gravitational lensing. The quasar is at a distance of 8 billion light years while the lensing galaxy is at a distance of 400 million light years from Earth.

In 2019, biologist Eleanor Lutz combined five different data sets to produce this image of every known thing in our solar system with a diameter bigger than 10 kilometers.

Not a black hole, but a "molecular cloud" (known as Barnard 68) which is a high concentration of dust and molecular gas that absorbs practically all the visible light emitted from background stars.

Scarlett and smoke The brightest member of this cluster, named HD 74804, is thought to have ionised Gum 15’s hydrogen cloud. This ionised hydrogen content is the cause of the red hue permeating the frame.

This is what the surface of an asteroid looks like. The Japanese Hayabusa 2 space craft managed to land on the surface of the Ryugu asteroid in July 2019 and transmit a photo to Earth.
