Our X-Ray satellite, the Suzaku spacecraft, took this picture, shown in NASA's article:
"Suzaku Shows Clearest Picture Yet of Perseus Galaxy Cluster"
"This Hubble Space Telescope image shows NGC 1275, the galaxy located in the center of the Perseus Galaxy Cluster. The red threadlike filaments are composed of cool gas suspended by a magnetic field."-NASA

New Scientist's Short Sharp Science features this ridiculous picture of trees completely taken over by spiderwebs:
"Trees cocooned by spiders could reduce malaria risk"
"Covered in spiders' webs, these cocooned trees in Sindh, Pakistan, are an unexpected result of floods that hit the region in 2010."-New Scientist

Finally, National Geographic's Breaking Orbit gives us a beautiful, serene picture in:
"Night Sky News: Ghostly Light Cone on the Rise"
"Ancient Romans thought this spooky haze was due to far-off campfires below the horizon, while the ancient Greeks said that it must be caused by distant volcanic eruptions."-National Geographic
