This first picture is an artist's interpretation of a supernova explosion showing heavy elements that are created and sent into the cosmos at the end of the star's life.

A collision between two planets...
An infant planet being formed from accretion.
The following image is a pulsar. A pulsar is a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation. This radiation can only be observed when the beam of emission is pointing towards the Earth, much the way a lighthouse can only be seen when the light is pointed in the direction of an observer, and is responsible for the pulsed appearance of emission.
Another accretion image...
