Four images from left to right. A bright yellow radiation symbol: a black circle in the center with three symmetrical black shapes radiating out from the circle. A satellite image of the Sun in orange. An image, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, of the crab nebula, a supernva remnant, showing a white, glowing bubble with colorful gas and dust spidering across the bubble. A map view of North and South America, outlined in black against a blue background. A bubble of red, yellow, and green show a storm of some sort over South America.
