This is what the tallest mountain in the solar system looks like from space.

Space is beautiful

Andromeda galaxy from the Hubble space telescope, every dot is a star

Intriguing: NGC 1614, an unusual galaxy shaped by a past galactic merger, which has left it with a distinctive tidal tail—a stream of stars and gas extending outward.

Amazing infrared view of NGC 3351: Its core is highlighted by a small orange oval encircling a circular light yellow oval

Breathtaking: Hubble captured NGC 5410 and UGC 8932's dance in space, showcasing a brilliant star-filled bridge.

Marvel at the Spectacular Anemic Spiral Galaxy NGC 4921

3. 7-Planet Alignment Catch Saturn, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars with the naked eye. Spot Uranus and Neptune with binoculars in this rare planetary show!

11. Geminid Meteor Shower (Dec 14) The year ends with up to 150 meteors/hr under dark skies. A 27% crescent Moon won’t spoil the Geminids' brilliance!

One life. One chance

This Hubble image captures the gaseous remnants of a massive star that exploded about 1,700 years ago. The stellar explosion occurred in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way Credit: NASA, ESA, and J. Banovetz and D. Milisavljevic (Purdue University)

An intriguing lunar halo (known as a 22° halo) in the sky above La Silla Observatory. It is a result of moonlight interacting with millions of ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere, forming a ring with a radius of about 22° around the moon. (Credit: ESO/Y. Beletsky-LCO)

The smoking gun of a newborn star. Herbig-Haro objects are transient phenomena. Travelling away from the star that created them, at a speed of up to 250 000 km/h they disappear into nothingness within a few tens of thousands of years (Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, K. Stapelfeldt)

Stunning: NGC 7635, also known as the Bubble Nebula The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7 magnitude young central star, SAO 20575. (Credit: NASA & ESA)

The dazzling Gum 3 nebula, approximately 3600 light-years distant, emits striking red and pink colors from hydrogen, with dust reflecting blue starlight like the Earth's sky. (Credit: ESO/VPHAS+ team. Ack.: CASU)

A spectacular impact crater on Mars known as the Zumba crater. It measures about 3 kilometers in diameter! (Credit: NASA/JPL/University of Arizona)

At a speed of 7 million km/h, the barred spiral galaxy ESO 137-001 hurtles towards the center of cluster Abell 3627, traveling through hot intergalactic gas with a temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius along the way This produces stunning images.. (Credit: NASA, ESA, CXC)

Explore the cosmic depths with this image of the Running Chicken Nebula from ESO's VLT Covering an expanse as wide as 25 full Moons, it features stunning pink clouds of gas and dust, brilliantly lit by the energy of young stars (Credit: ESO/VPHAS+ team. Acknowledgement: CASU)
