COMETS
shows how changes of the solar wind affect the
tails of these dust and gas clumps.

|
JETS
visualizes how gas can move through interstellar space in
narrow beams with velocities near the speed of light.
|
|
NOVA
describes the brightening of a white dwarf star when hydrogen
explodes on its surface.

GRAVITATIONAL LENSES
distort the light of distant stars and galaxies
to arcs and multiple images by the action of gravity.
|
|
COSMOS
explains how galaxies and galaxy clusters have formed from
tiny density perturbations in the early Universe.

|
MAGNETIC FIELDS penetrate like rubber
bands a number of astrophysical objects, e.g. the Earth, the Sun and
even distant galaxies.

|
SUN
presents an outlook into the future of our own star,
which will undergo large structural variations, bevor it
will fade away as a White Dwarf.
