In the news.
On the anniversary of the first picture from the telescope, NASA released a new one, showing the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, the closest star-forming region to Earth. In a statement accompanying the image, NASA called it “a dynamic image that belies the region’s relative quiet – and practically begs for explanation of what exactly we are looking at”.
Here are five things that we’ve learned thanks to the breathtaking images that the telescope has given us.
- How the universe looked during its early stages
- How stars are formed
- What’s at the heart of a galaxy
- What planets outside our solar system look like
- What’s inside a black hole
