Created by the collapse of a massive star, black holes remain one of astronomy’s greatest mysteries. Scroll through the gallery to see images of more wonders of the universe.This rosette pattern is the orbit of a star, called S2, around the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy.This is an artist’s illustration of SN2016aps, which astronomers believe is the brightest supernova ever observed.This is an artist’s illustration of a brown dwarf, or a ‘failed star’ object, and its magnetic field. The brown dwarf’s atmosphere and magnetic field rotate at different speeds, which allowed astronomers to determine wind speed on the object.This artist’s illustration shows an intermediate-mass black hole tearing into a star.This is an artist’s impression of a large star known as HD74423 and its much smaller red dwarf companion in a binary star system. The large star appears to pulsate on one side only, and it’s being distorted by the gravitational pull of its companion star into a teardrop shape.
