• Rigel is a variable star, thus it is occasionally outshone by Betelgeuse.
• Contrasting with the orange-red Betelgeuse, Rigel appears as blue-white to the naked eye.
• Rigel is also a multiple star system – composed of at least four stars.
• Rigel is a massive blue supergiant with a luminosity of around 61.500 up to 363.000 that of the Sun.
• The blue star is estimated to be around 860 light-years away.

APM 08279+5255 is a very distant, broad absorption line quasar located in the constellation Lynx. It is magnified and split into multiple images by the gravitational lensing effect of a foreground galaxy through which its light passes. It appears to be a giant elliptical galaxy with a supermassive black hole and associated accretion disk. It possesses large regions of hot dust and molecular gas, as well as regions with starburst activity.

Chandra Discovers Dwarf Galaxy Colliding Into NGC 1232

A new study reveals that a giant cloud of superheated gas, which is about 6 million degrees, is likely the result of a collision between a dwarf galaxy and a much larger galaxy called NGC 1232. Observations with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have revealed a massive cloud of multimillion-degree

Giant galaxy supercluster.

PARIS - Scientists have discovered a primitive "supercluster" of galaxies forming in the early Universe, just 2.3 billion years after the Big Bang.

The structure, nicknamed Hyperion, is the largest and most massive to be found so early in the formation of the Universe, which sprang into existence around 13.7 billion years ago.

Its titanic mass is one million billion times that of the Sun.
