Launched in 1990, the Hubble space telescope has been sharing the secrets of the universe with us ever since. Hubble, which has produced striking images since the first day, celebrates its 32nd birthday as of April 24. NASA has released a special video for Hubble’s birthday, including some of the celestial objects the telescope has viewed and discovered recently.
The images taken by the Hubble space telescope are quite impressive
In the shared video, measuring the sizes of the largest comet seen, how the storm that formed Jupiter’s Great Red Spot accelerated, and the color changing of Saturn’s atmosphere strips. Including very impressive images such as observing the weather on Jupiter and Saturn.
Additionally, Jupiter’s two moons Ganymede and Europa The study showed that there was water vapor in their atmosphere. Hubble also imaged the spooky star CW Leonis in the Milky Way, took an ultraviolet image of the planet PDS 70b, and presented an expanding bubble of gas near the heart of our galaxy.
Going further beyond the galaxy, Hubble detected a black hole that seemed to help form stars rather than destroy them. Solving the mystery of a mirrored double galaxy, the space telescope has succeeded in detecting the most distant star ever seen, about 13 billion years away from us.
In addition, Hubble scientists shared another beautiful Hubble image of five galaxies in an unusual way for the telescope’s birthday. This cluster, called the Hickson Compact Group 40, consists of three spiral galaxies, an elliptical galaxy, and a lenticular galaxy, all very close together. All of these galaxies will one day collide and form one large galaxy.
Let’s see what kind of images will the Hubble telescope present us in the coming years? What do you think about the Hubble space telescope? You can share your views with us in the comments section or on the SDN Forum.
