The most beautiful images of 2016 taken by Hubble glasses

Hubble Space Telescope is a telescope flying in space around Earth orbit, taking pictures of distant and beautiful celestial bodies sent to Earth. These are the best images taken by Hubble glasses in 2016.

These are two spiral galaxies that are in the process of being merged, during this time, billions of new stars will be formed. These two galaxies, about 45 million light away from us, began to collide from a few hundred million years ago.

They are one of the closest and youngest collision galaxies we've ever known. The orange-colored center is the old core of the two galaxies, while the outer area is green due to the glowing hydrogen gas where new stars are being born.

Sombrero Galaxy, also known as Messier 104. (Photo: NASA and The Hubble Heritage Team, STScI / AURA).

This is a white galaxy with a bulging core surrounded by thick lines of dust. It is a spiral galaxy, but when viewed from Earth, its angle makes us see it flattened like a fork.

This galaxy is 50,000 light-years across, 28 million light-years away, south of the constellation Virgo, and can be seen through binoculars with an apparent brightness of 8.0.

NGC 4696, the largest galaxy in the galaxy cluster Centaurus.(Photo: NASA, ESA / Hubble, A. Fabian).

This image was taken through the Hubble Space Telescope's 3rd generation wide field lens, showing the largest galaxy in the galaxy cluster Centaurus - home to hundreds of different galaxies.

This image shows the twisted strands of dust at the center of this giant galaxy in the most detailed way ever. The dust is yellow-brown and twisted inward by gravity from a giant black hole in the center of the galaxy.

This Bubble Nebula was taken in February by Dear Hubble by the 3rd generation wide field lens. The nebula extends 7 light years and is 7,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia.

Wide-angle images show that hundreds of galaxies lie in disarray, including some distorted galaxies. In fact, they are distorted by an optical phenomenon as a giant lens mirror placed in the middle of the universe.

In the middle of the picture is a giant cluster of galaxies Abell S1063, 4 billion light-years away. Its large gravitational force causes light to distort and change direction when it reaches Earth.

The two streams of gas are released strongly from the two poles of a young star. These currents move at speeds and hundreds of kilometers per second, colliding with the surrounding dust and creating shock waves. This star, called HH 24, is 1,500 light-years away in the constellation Orion.

The true nature of Io satellites on Jupiter's surface.(Photo: J. Spencer, NASA / ESA).

Io satellite is casting shadows on the gas surface of Jupiter. Io is about the same size as the Earth's Moon, passing through Jupiter's surface at a distance of more than 500,000 km. Io rotates around Jupiter every 1.8 days, while the Moon rotates around the Earth for 28 days.

Whirlpool Galaxy, also known as Messier 51. (Photo: NASA, ESA, S. Beckwith (STScI), Hubble Heritage Team STScI / AURA).

The spiral arms bend the rings very smoothly like a giant whirlpool in space. These arms are filled with stars and gas dust mixed together.

There are many spiral galaxies in the universe, but most of their spiral arms are quite loose, not dense material like Messier 51. Bright areas, where new stars are formed and then they move to places with bright pink.

NGC 1300 is a strange spiral galaxy when its spiral arms do not lead into the center of the galaxy. The galactic core is another spiral structure of about 3,300 light-years long. Only giant spiral galaxies can appear as a separate structure at the core like NGC 1300.

Carina Nebula possesses a very dynamic star nursery. The pillars in the image are made up of dust and gas in the interstellar environment, they participate in the burning reaction when new stars are formed.

The fuzzy bands that cross the air columns are the wind that is pushed out when the stars are formed, they contain very high levels of ultraviolet radiation. These winds constantly erode gas columns, while gas columns are always accreted by dust from the stars.
