THE HUBBLE CAPTURES EVEN MORE BEAUTY

NASA’s Hubble telescope captures the clustered milky way with about an estimated half a million stars just in one picture. Infrared radiation causes the bright blasts of light pictured above. Gas and dust are so thick that not even the Hubble can see past them with its infrared technology. The Hubble photo is stitched together being a total of nine photos and is about 27,000 light years away from Earth. This image shows the Tarantula Nebula  in the Large Magellanic Cloud.These images have given us a whole new depth of the Milky Way.
