Celestron Origin's Mosaic Mode enables wide-field astrophotography. The Andromeda Galaxy, a popular target, stretches about 3°, requiring multiple shots to capture. The Mosaic Mode allows the Celestron Origin Intelligent Home Observatory to stitch these shots together.

NASA's Chandra finds source of star's outbursts. The luminous blue variable star AT 2016blu is located in the galaxy NGC 4559, about 30 million light-years from Earth.
