Planetary nebulae, NGC 2371/2, in the Gemini constellation. This Hubble image depicts the aftermath of a sun-like star reaching the end of its life. The two lobes consist of the star’s outer layers which were blasted into space. #cosmos #interstellar Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, R. Wade et al.

Blue glow of Cherenkov radiation in a nuclear reactor. Charged particles produced during nuclear fission travel through water coolant at speeds faster than the speed of light in water. As they interact with water molecules an effect similar to a sonic boom is created.

Electron microscope image of a white blood cell. Electrons have shorter wavelengths than particles of light, allowing them to image much smaller details and structures that would be blurry or indistinguishable for regular microscopes.

Supernova remnant known as the Crab Nebula. The colors in this image represents elements such as Sulfur in orange and iron in blue. The ghostly white clouds which subsume the nebula represent charged particles which are accelerated by magnetic fields much like particle colliders here on Earth.
