NASA s new Hubble images will blow your mind
NASA just released a treasure trove of cosmic imagery.Â
On Friday, the space agency released over 50 new images captured by the legendary Hubble Space Telescope. Before now, NASA hadn t fully processed the rich images for public release.Â
The images include exploded stars, extremely dense clusters of stars, vivid singular galaxies, and beyond. Hubble achieves profound clarity because it orbits above Earth s atmosphere, so its images aren t muddied by our planet s gases and weather. The telescope has also been improved five times by spacewalking astronauts. Hubble is today, at 30 years old, even better than when it was launched and continues to make groundbreaking discoveries that challenge and advance our fundamental understanding of the cosmos, NASA wrote.
