ALT In this view of the Moon, the near side (the hemisphere we see from Earth), is visible at the top half of the Moon disk. It is identifiable by the dark splotches. These are ancient lava flows from a time early in the Moon’s history when it was volcanically active. The large crater that appears below the lava flows, dark in the center, is Orientale basin, a nearly 600-mile-wide crater that straddles the Moon’s near and far sides as is partly visible from Earth on the edge of the Moon. In this image, we have a full view of the crater. Everything below the crater is the far side, the hemisphere we don’t get to see from Earth because the Moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that it orbits around us. Credit: NASA

ALT The Lighthouse Nebula (upper left) and a pulsar (lower right) are illuminated against a spotty starfield. The part of the nebula shown in this image looks like a diffuse, purple cloud with a bright star in the center. The pulsar looks like a bright white streak of light with a purple jet extending from one end, forming the shape of a checkmark. Credits: X-ray: Chandra: NASA/CXC/Stanford Univ./J.T.

ALT A collection of four photos of the cosmos in red, white, and blue colors. The top photo, Cassiopeia A, is a burst of bright gas, the colors forming erratic streaks that appear to extend from their center. The bottom-left photo, NGC 3603, is a cluster of red stars framed by blobs of ghostly gas. The bottom-middle photo, Messier 94, is a swirling spiral galaxy shown face-on. The bottom-right photo, a galaxy cluster, shows many distant galaxies warped around the photo's center. Credit: NASA/CXC/SAO
