The world of outer space holds endless mysteries and secrets waiting to be discovered. High-resolution telescopes and satellites closely observe objects and events in outer space to develop a better understanding of human beings. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Hubble Telescope is one of the most versatile and largest space telescopes, recognized for its vital research capabilities. Here are the six best images from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.
This NASA image of the Dumbbell Nebula is enough to make your jaw drop, as the snapshot may remind you of a balloon that has been pinched in the middle and has a mottled, colorful texture. The nebula is also known as Messier 76 or M76 and is located 3,400 light-years away in the northern circumpolar constellation of Perseus. The name “Little Dumbbell” comes from its shape, which is a two-lobed structure. The red color is from nitrogen and the blue is from oxygen.
Omega Centauri is the largest and brightest globular cluster in the sky and could also host a black hole. The image helped NASA’s Hubble detect seven high-velocity stars in the innermost region of Omega Centauri. The high-velocity stars within Omega Centauri are an indication of the possible presence of an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH). You can enjoy the view of Omega Centauri from Earth with the naked eye from some locations. The view is also a famous pastime for stargazers.
NASA’s image gives us a glimpse of what the symbiotic star Mira HM Sge will look like in outer space. The symbiotic star is located nearly 3,400 light-years away in the constellation Sagitta. The fascinating pair consists of a red giant and a white dwarf.
This is an artist’s impression of a brown dwarf. In this image, the red color is the result of horizontal bands of thick, wind-driven clouds that may alternate with relatively cloud-free bands. A brown dwarf is a celestial object that can be between a giant planet and a small star in size. The object is expected to emit primarily infrared radiation.
The galaxy AM 1054-325 has been distorted into an S-shape from its normal, pancake-like spiral form by the gravitational pull of a neighboring galaxy, seen in this Hubble Space Telescope image.
