Thank you for reading the news regarding technology: Learn regarding the discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope on the 32nd anniversary of its launch and now with the details of the news
Cairo – Samia Sayed – Today, Sunday, marks the 32nd anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope, since its launch in 1990, the telescope has helped reveal the secrets of the universe, and has also produced some absolutely stunning images of space.
NASA has released a video of Hubble’s birthday, including an overview of some of the things the telescope has photographed and discovered in the past few months and years. This includes measuring the largest comet ever seen and observing the weather on Jupiter and Saturn, including how the storm that makes up Jupiter’s Great Red Spot accelerates and changes the colors of Saturn’s atmosphere.
In addition, the study of two of Jupiter’s moons – Ganymede and Europa – showed that they have water vapor in their atmosphere, Digitartlends reported.
So just inside the Solar System in the Milky Way, Hubble has photographed the fearsome star CW Leonis, snapped an ultraviolet image of PDS 70b, and saw an expanding gas bubble near the heart of our galaxy.
Hubble has discovered a black hole that appears to help stars form rather than destroy them, and has solved the mystery of an inverted double galaxy, as well as the most distant star ever, whose light took nearly 13 billion years to reach us.
In addition, Hubble scientists have shared an even more beautiful image from Hubble for the telescope’s birthday, which shows a group of five galaxies clustered together in an unusual way.
The Hickson Compact Group 40 is made up of three spiral galaxies, one elliptical galaxy, and one lenticular galaxy, all very close together and eventually smashing together and merging into one large galaxy.
While other similarly dense clusters of galaxies have been observed near the centers of massive clusters of galaxies, this cluster is unusual for being in a relatively empty region of space, leading astronomers to question why the cluster has been swept together.
One theory is that large amounts of dark matter are covered in clouds around galaxies, slowing their movement and keeping the group together.
