Surface Mass Ejection
A surface mass ejection (SME), depicted in this
illustration, is a relatively recently discovered phenomenon in stellar astrophysics.
They are similar to coronal mass ejections but on a
far larger scale. During an SME, a star can release hundreds of ...

Coronal Mass Ejection - V2
Illustration of a coronal mass ejection emanating
from the Sun. These events, CMEs for short, are powerful releases of solar charged
particles (plasma) and magnetic field, travelling on the solar wind. When a CME hits
Earth, it can cause a geomagneti...

Binary White Dwarf Supernova - V1
Illustration of a star system consisting of two white dwarfs, in which one of the
stars (right) is transferring gas to its partner owing to their proximity. As a
result, the star on the left has reached an unstable, critical mass, which is resulting ...

Nature's 10 - V1
Digital illustration of the solar atmosphere revealed during a total eclipse of the
Sun. A large flare or a coronal mass ejection is
seen on the left. This image was commissioned for the cover of the journal Nature for
an annual feature called Nature...

Exoplanet TOI-6894b V3
Artwork depicting the exoplanet TOI-6894b around a red dwarf star. This planet is
unusual because, given the size/mass of the planet
relative to the very low mass of the star, this
planet should not have been able to form. The planet is vary large co...

Rodinia
Planet Earth but not as we know it. The tectonic plates have arranged themselves to
create a single land-mass, a supercontinent called
Rodinia (from the Russian for 'Motherland'. It is one of many that Earth has seen in
its history. It was fully form...
