April 24 the US space agency NASA is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the first and most famous optical telescope “Hubble” , and therefore the published best space images taken by the legendary machine.
The telescope “Hubble” was launched on April 24, 1990 the crew of Shuttle “Discovery” and Since then transmitted to Earth millions of unique images will significantly increase the representation theory of the structure and origin of the universe.
For a quarter century, the unit had 1.2 million targeted observations for 38,000 space objects on the basis of which was prepared about 13 thousands of scientific papers. According to experts, “this makes it one of the most effective tools in the history of science”.
With the help of a telescope specialists were able to get information about objects that are at a distance of 13.4 billion light years from Earth. Thanks to the “Hubble” managed to clarify the age of the universe and the number of galaxies are in it (approximately 200 billion).
The new data were also obtained about the solar system and our galaxy – the Milky Way, in particular, located in the center of a giant black hole.
The amount of information in his “archive” is more than 100 terabytes, and he made shots are readily available on the pages of popular magazines and formed the basis of many documentary films about space exploration.
This week’s photo “Hubble” demonstrates not only on the site NASA, but also on a giant screen at Times Square in New York City.
The experts do not hide the surprise at the fact that despite the very advanced age, the machine “is in good health” and continues to make space explorers with new information about distant galaxies, black holes and supermassive stars.
