Stunning pic today featured on Universe Today's article:
"Astronomy Without A Telescope – Our Unlikely Solar System"
"A circumstellar disk of debris around a matured stellar system may indicate that Earth-like planets lie within - since such a disk results from the collisional grinding of rocky planetesimals." -Universe Today

Last but not least, over on Hubble's site:
"The magnificent starburst galaxy Messier 82"
"This mosaic image of the magnificent starburst galaxy, Messier 82 (M82) is the sharpest wide-angle view ever obtained of M82. It is a galaxy remarkable for its webs of shredded clouds and flame-like plumes of glowing hydrogen blasting out from its central regions where young stars are being born 10 times faster than they are inside in our Milky Way Galaxy." -NASA/ESA
