The Hubble-Waterpraum Telescope is still on the move more than 30 years after its start, observes the universe and sends us pictures to be amazed. This week, NASA And the ESA emphasized a picture of the extremely productive Tarantula-Nebel (officially called 30 Doradus) in the large Magellan cloud, and it is an unforgettable sight.

According to NASA, the tarantula lever is “the largest and most productive starry region in the local universe” with stars in its center, which are about 200 times as rasser as the sun. This hubble view gives us a look at the outskirts of the fog and reveals layers of colorful gas and stars. The tarantula lever is located in the large Magellan cloud, a nearby dwarf galaxy.
While the end result we see is full of brilliant colors, hubbles first appear in grayscale. As has explained: “Scientists can create a composed color image by making recordings with different color filters on the telescope, assigning each filter a color that corresponds to the wavelength of this filter, and combine the images.” dar, but also ultraviolet and infrared. In such a case, colors are assigned to the wavelengths that we normally cannot see.
