A type of dead star called a pulsar and the surrounding disk of rubble
This artists concept depicts a type of dead star called a pulsar and the surrounding disk of rubble discovered by the Spitzer Space Telescope

A supermassive black hole at the center of a remote galaxy digesting the remnants
This artists concept shows a supermassive black hole at the center of a remote galaxy digesting the remnants of a star. The artists concept chronicles the star being ripped apart

Jets of material shooting out from the neutron star in a binary system
This artist concept illustrates jets of material shooting out from the neutron star in the binary system 4U 0614+091. Astronomers using the Spitzer Space Telescope found these remarkable jets

A compact object, or a black hole, is seen ripping off gas from its sun-like companion that has filled its Roche Lobe. Gas from the star (called the donor)

A stellar black hole emits streams of plasma from its event horizon

Dusty disks circling a star
This artists concept illustrates a solar system that is a much younger version of our own. Dusty disks, like the one shown here circling the star, are thought to be the breeding grounds of planets

An artists depiction of a large spiral galaxy viewed from edge on. Dust and gases obscure the edge of the galaxy that contains a black hole at its center
