(Inside Science) -- To ring in the new year, we’ve collected pictures that look into stellar history. In some, artists help capture our imaginations through illustrations.

From a fleetingly beautiful dying star, to an ancient quasar from the early universe, these pictures capture the beauty that surrounds us throughout space-time.
