NASAさんのインスタグラム写真 - (NASAInstagram)「Happy 33rd launchiversary @NASAHubble 🎂⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It seems like only yesterday Hubble launched from @NASAKennedy aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery, deploying the next day 332 miles (534 km) above Earth over the obscuring effects of our atmosphere.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In recognition of Hubble's star power, astronomers captured this image of a nearby star-forming nebula 960 light-years from Earth in the Perseus molecular cloud, showing off the telescope's ability to see the cosmos in ultraviolet and near-infrared light. Peering through a cloud of interstellar dust, Hubble spots stellar winds and the beginning of stars, which may produce new planetary systems.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Hubble's cameras and spectrographs can spot objects near and far, large and small, from tiny asteroids to the origins of our universe. For 33 years, Hubble has helped uncover the mysteries of the cosmos, witnessed the birth and death of stars, and searched for worlds beyond our solar system.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Image description: A horizontal image is split in two with colors ranging from red and black on the left, blue and gold in the middle to blue and white at the right. The left of the image is noticeably darker than the rest, with the exception of a dramatic splash of red almost like a bug splat on a windshield. A handful of faint, red stars also appear there. At the center of the image, a brighter yellow star illuminates surrounding gas. It is partially obscured by dark streaks and clouds of dust, making it resemble the moon on a cloudy evening. At the right, a bright blue star is illuminating surrounding clouds of gas, making the right third of the image appear blue. To the right of the bright star, a couple dozen fainter stars shine yellow. One of them has a fuzzy, golden arc to its left.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Credit: NASA, @EuropeanSpaceAgency, and STScI; Image Processing: Varun Bajaj (STScI), Joseph DePasquale (STScI), Jennifer Mack (STScI)⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #Hubble #Anniversary #NASA #ESA #Space #Astrophotography #Universe #Galaxy #Nebula」4月25日 6時13分
