After being launched into orbit in April 1990, today The Hubble Space Telescope (Hubble Space Telescope) has completed many missions to explore the vastness of space. 34 years
And on this 34th anniversary, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, has released images. “Little Dumbbell Nebula” That was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. Showing the beauty of a colorful nebula that is about 3,400 light years away from our world, and this image is also proof that the Hubble Space Telescope continues to collect excellent data even the after many decades.
Hubble Space Telescope Named after an American astronomer. Edwin Hubble Launched into orbit in April 1990, Edwin Hubble is one of the most important scientific instruments in the history of astronomy, revealing important phenomena. Abundantly in the vastness of space
Even today, NASA is sending the James Space telescope. Webb instead of the Hubble Space Telescope But the James Webb space telescope only studies infrared waves. and cannot replace Hubble’s ability to see spectra in the visible and ultraviolet ranges.
Small Dumbbell Nebula Located about 3,400 light years from Earth in the northern constellation Perseus, it was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 232 AD and is also known as the Messier 76 object and NGC 650 Little Nebula made of gas and dust that it was ejected from a red giant star. A dying star before collapsing into a white dwarf.
Images recorded by the Hubble Space Telescope. Shows what a heart ring cover looks like. This could be caused by the gravitational effect of the stars orbiting together. But in the picture, no other star is visible. It may be swallowed up by the gravity of the white dwarf. This nebula is fine dust and gas Astronomers believe it will remain visible for another 15,000 years before it disappears.
