An image of the night sky as seen through a telescope, but severely affected by satellite streaking.
Red, orange and yellow material sloughs from three concentric circles, representing the accreting disks around black holes.
A page of text headed 'Editorial'.
Two luminescent blue-ish white dwarf stars interact through a transfer of a plasma stream. One star is surrounded by reddish ejecta; the other appears distorted.
This quote reads, "[Amazing Worlds] encourages readers to recognize the ways in which changing science changes our worldview, and to ponder both the potential and limitations of our explorations of exoplanets -- real or imagined." and is credited to Elizabeth R. Stanway.
A network of red and yellow filaments, representing the cosmic web, stretches across a dark blue background on the cover of the April issue of Nature Astronomy. The coverline reads: "Universal connections".
Black cosmic-ray streamlines are overlayed with yellow patches where micromirror scattering occurs.
Text that reads: "There are so many parts in Shindell’s Lunar, with the range of contributing authors enabling it to present a wide diversity of perspectives"
A red spectral signal from a distant galaxy beams towards us while Galactic fireworks streak across the image in a warp-speed effect.
The monochrome cover image of Nature Astronomy's December issue shows dendritic streamlines depicting galaxies being drawn towards 'basins of attraction', as defined within the Valade et al. paper within the issue.
This image shows the cover image for the September issue of Nature Astronomy, featuring the ASKAP telescope pointing at a night sky that is split half and half. The left half features a pulsar, with curling purple magnetic field lines; the right half a white dwarf against a starry backdrop.
Three cover pages from the journal Nature Astronomy, one depicting an accretion disk around a black hole, one a region of the interstellar medium in Orion and the third a stylised version of a pulsar and a white dwarf, along with the ASKAP telescope.
