Jupiter (a gas giant) is the largest planet of our solar

system , like the planet its natural satellite Ganymede is also the biggest natural satellite and it's bigger then Mercury and Pluto , if Ganymede have orbited our parent star then it would have been considered as a planet long ago , it was formed by the accretion of dust and gas that surrounded Jupiter 4.5 billion years ago . Ganymede is the only known natural satellite to have its own magnetic field due to which we could see beautiful auroras on it . In this picture we could see Ganymede's shadow falling on Jupiter . Only if Jupiter was a star and Ganymede was planet revolving around Jupiter then this image would be a perfect depiction for the transit phenomenon.

A supernova is a violent explosion in space that happens when the core of a neutron star is so compressed by gravity, that to avoid the collapse, it looses some of it's mass in the explosion. This is much like it's attempt to 'lose weight' in a manner, so that it can continue living without too much mass.

Although it's workout session's are a tad bit too extreme, they work pretty well (for them, don't try this at home!) and can be used as an analogy.

The Tarantula Nebula is a star forming 'factory' located near the Large Magenallic Clouds Galaxy. Much of the ingredients required to form a star present in abundance in this nebula, so far it is the largest and most violent star forming regions. This nebula is about 180 thousand light years away from us and the picture provides a magnificent view of it

This picture, taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, shows the Cartwheel Galaxy in magnificent detail. The galaxy is located in constellation Sculptor, which is about 500 million light years away! The diameter of this majestic galaxy is 1 million light years and is home to active regions of star formation and a massive black hole in the center. It's peculiar cartwheel like shape, and hence the name, is due to a smaller galaxy in the center of a larger one. This causes gravitation attraction between matter from both galaxies, forming spiral linking shapes.

This time-lapse image is constructed from consecutive exposures made over three hours in Beijing, China on June 24. Arcing above the eastern horizon , a waning crescent Moon left the brightest streak and watery reflection. On that date, the planets of the Solar System were also lined up along the ecliptic and left their own majestic trails before sunrise. Saturn was first to rise with Mercury being the last and hence leaving the shortest trail. The trails of all planets are labeled in the image for easy overview.

Imaged with color filters featuring light emitted by sulfur (red), hydrogen (green), and oxygen (blue), this deep wide-angle view was processed to remove the stars and so better capture the impressive glowing filaments of the Veil. Also known as the Cygnus Loop, the Veil Nebula is roughly circular in shape and covers nearly 3 degrees on the sky toward the constellation of the Swan (Cygnus). Famous nebular sections include the Bat Nebula, the Witch's Broom Nebula, and Fleming's Triangular Wisp. The complete supernova remnant lies about 1,400 light-years away.
