#2 is awsesome, 6th is with telescope? About the last one, those are usually artistic paintings/remastered?

The 6th is made by: Saturn’s moons Tethys and Hyperion appear very close together in a new image from the Cassini spacecraft. In reality, the two moons are 930,000 miles (1.5 million kilometers) apart. full article / topic: http://www.space.com/33822-saturns-distant-moons-new-image.html

and that last picture: This beautiful Hubble image shows the ghostly remains of a star, which detonated 160,000 light-years away, blasting hot gases through interstellar space. But this explosion wasn't caused by a massive star running out of hydrogen, it was a different type of supernova that started with a thieving white dwarf and ended with a boom.

more info about that picture can be found here:
