The orbit of Jupiter protects the Earth from asteroids.

Located about 27 million light years away lies Messier 63, better known as the Sunflower Galaxy due to its glowing yellow center. For galaxies like Messier 63 the winding arms shine bright because of the presence of recently formed, blue–white giant stars, readily seen in this Hubble image. (Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA)

Antennae galaxies, an intense star-forming region created when two galaxies began to collide some 200 million to 300 million years ago. The bright, blue-white areas show newly formed stars surrounded by clouds of hydrogen, which are colored pink. A similar collision is expected between our galaxy, the Milky Way, and the nearby Andromeda galaxy in several billion years.
