I'm a geek. No. Really. Really geeky. And I write poetry. And I read poetry. I'm an English teacher to-be.

FS pointed this out to me, and I think I’ve seen a couple going around. I suspect these are from NASA animations.
Top-to-bottom, left-then-right (best guesses):
- Active sunspot region
- Star formation or quasar/galaxy with active galactic nucleus
- Pulsar formed from white dwarf->neutron star degeneration lighting up the inside of the dust cloud left over from the supernova event that preceded it
- Possible exoplanet with moon
- Stellar-mass black hole in a binary system pulling matter off its partner (possibly also a spinning white dwarf drawing mass off its partner and about to hit critical mass and go supernova/black hole), the “jets” shooting out are actually only “visible” in the x-ray spectrum or in radio astronomy
- “Top” view of star formation or quasar/galaxy with active galactic nucleus
- Newly formed star with leftover accretion disc, which looks like it is forming planetary “clumps”
- Star birth inside a molecular cloud, as the hydrogen fusion suddenly begins, the star’s ultraviolet radiation excites the molecules in the surrounding cloud, causing them to ionize and then de-ionize, giving off their own glow - an emission nebula, additionally, the bright new star’s light will reflect off parts of the cloud - a reflection nebula, and the powerful stellar wind and radiation from the star will collide with the particles, beginning to “carve out” space around the star, but also adding more compression to other parts of the cloud, making more areas ripe for star formation
