30 Years of Capturing Space: NASA Releases New Images Caught by the Hubble Space Telescope

The Hubble Space Telescope, which is more often simply called as Hubble, has helped thousands of astronomers make sense of the vast universe around us, capturing images of galaxies from millions of light-years away to stars and lost planets within our own system.

For Hubble's 30th anniversary, the space agency decided to release more than 50 new images caught by the space telescope, with 30 of them found in the Caldwell catalog.

The space telescope has captured the images throughout its career in helping scientists and astronomers here on Earth uncover the secrets of the vast universe, but all have not been processed for public release until now.

In 2019, NASA also released the first gallery of Hubble images of Caldwell objects, so this new list will join the first gallery.

Besides seeing stunning, high-resolution images of these cosmic objects, the Hubble Caldwell catalog will also include a basic star chart of where amateur astronomers can find the object so they can personally see it through their own backyard telescope.

If you don't know what equipment to use, they will also list down suggestions of a telescope you can get and use.

But if you simply want to marvel at the stunning images, each image has also been provided a description of what it is.

The Hubble Space Telescope was initially launched aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery in April of 1999, and since then, it had worked non-stop and had been upgraded five times.
