... Wispy tendrils of hot dust and gas glow brightly in this ultraviolet image of the Cygnus Loop nebula, taken by NASA s Galaxy Evolution Explorer. The nebula lies about 1,500 light-years away and is a supernova remnant, left over from a massive stellar explosion that occurred between 5,000 to 8,000 years ago. ... The filaments of gas and dust visible here in ultraviolet light were heated by the shock wave from the supernova, which is still spreading outward from the original explosion. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...
