Hubble Space Telescope
Re: Hubble Space Telescope
Mahalo for posting these Kailuaboy! I was interested in astronomy when I was a kid, but by the time I got to college I realized that you needed to be really good at physics, and I was not. LOL.
And I say Imua TMT! Let's add to our knowledge of the universe.

How do stars form? This simple question has intrigued humankind for centuries, and is one of the most
explored topics of contemporary astrophysics. Stars form in galaxies, but not all galaxies are forming stars.
What does a typical star-forming region look like? What is it composed of? How are stars born in these
nebulas? Join us to probe what we know—and don’t yet know—about the physics of star-formation, and
how astronomers around the world are trying to answer these questions of stellar genesis with ground- and
space-based telescopes.

This montage of more than 600 images from the Hubble Space Telescope celebrates the telescope’s
30 years of discovery. From our own cosmic neighborhood to the far reaches of the universe, Hubble
has opened our eyes to breathtaking new views of the cosmos. The rapid sequence echoes Hubble’s
fast pace of exploration. Though numerous, these images are just a glimpse of the data collected
by Hubble over the past 30 years, and only a tiny sliver of our vast universe.

How can they give him credit for finding Jupiter? They didn't have telescopes then. 1700s. Jupiter was sighted on Kaua'i at about 7:30 pm one evening. It was located in the southern Hemisphere of Hawai'i. 2016. News then. Some newspaper reporter wrote on it. 30 times bigger than the earth. It's the bright looking planet/star. But it was a planet.Kailuaboy wrote: ↑Fri Feb 06, 2015 10:51 pm Wow! Hubble Telescope Sees Rare 3-Moon Shadow Dance on Jupiter

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured three of Jupiter's moons marching across the huge planet's disc, a stunning sight that happens only once or twice every 10 years.
The rare triple-moon conjunction on Jupiter, which Hubble witnessed on Jan. 24, involved Io, Callisto and Europa — three of the gas giant's four Galilean moons (so named because they were discovered by astronomer Galileo Galilei in the early 17th century).
