The Most Beautiful Photos Taken by the Hubble Telescope in 2021

The year 2021, which we left behind, witnessed developments in many areas. Space exploration was also at the forefront of developing fields. NASA’s landing the Perseverance Rover on Mars at the beginning of 2021, and people such as Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk taking steps towards space tourism can be given as examples of these events.

The Hubble Space Telescope, launched into orbit in 1990, also provided scientists with important information about space exploration. We should also mention that Hubble faced some problems in 2021. The telescope was out of service for a month due to a systemic problem in the early summer months. In addition, synchronization problems in Hubble in November caused the telescope to be put into safe mode. Despite these problems, Hubble has managed to share many ‘glamorous’ images of the infinite universe.

Hubble took dozens of dazzling photos in 2021

Before moving on to the photos taken by Hubble, we need to talk about the James Webb Telescope. Described as the ‘successor’ of Hubble, this telescope was launched into space last week and took the first step towards making ‘groundbreaking’ discoveries as the world’s most advanced telescope. You can find detailed information about the telescope here, and it is expected to present new information about the history of the universe and extraterrestrial life to human beings.

Although there is a lot of excitement about James Webb, we should not forget that Hubble shared great photos with us last year. The telescope, which has been in space for 31 years, in the past year; He took pictures of spiral galaxies, dazzling stars and planets. We have compiled these images published by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) for you. Here are the amazing photos taken by Hubble in 2021:
