Happy anniversary, Hubble! 🎂 Celebrate 35 years since the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit with these four anniversary images! They roam from the planet Mars to dramatic images of stellar birth and death to a neighbouring galaxy. Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/e5EUidaY #Hubble35
- $The planetary nebula NGC 2899 is shaped like a single macaroni noodle, with its edges pointed up, but its edge-on central torus is semi-transparent in the middle. The top and bottom edges are thick and orange. The center is semi-transparent blue and green. The wider central region looks roughly like a moth, also filled with semi-transparent blue and green. There are two pinpoint-like white stars with diffraction spikes toward the center. Immediately below them, slightly toward the right, is a smaller blue orb, a central star. The next layer of gas and dust is whiter, with some thicker pillars that look like they are rising up at bottom center. The colour fades into reds and purples, and then to orange.$
- $A tiny portion of the Rosette Nebula. Very dark gray material shaped like a V extends from just below top left all the way down to the lower right corner and back up toward the top right. It looks like thick smoke that has billowed out irregularly, thicker along the line from top left to bottom right, and looser on the piece that goes toward the top right. Behind the dark gray on the left side, from the bottom left to top center, there is dust that looks like arced claw marks that appears in light orange and yellow. The background at top left is hazier and some blues are covered in semi-transparent orange wisps, which makes sections take on green hues. In the bottom right, the background is bluer. There are a few bright red and purple stars scattered along the right half, most toward the bottom. The largest star is at right-center, just at the edge. It is red and has four diffraction spikes.$

Solar Orbiter is the first to capture on camera how particles are whirled from the Sun’s surface, caught in ‘cyclones’ that extend millions of kilometres from the Sun. The spacecraft is on a mission to uncover how the Sun sends out the never-ending stream of particles called the solar wind. More than just a space phenomenon, solar wind can disrupt our telecommunication and navigation systems. Find out more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dZ-QGy-m
