Artworks from the universe

Photos taken with Hubble telescopes and NASA's Cassini probe not only contributed to scientific research but also artistic value.

Here are some beautiful cosmic images recorded by NASA satellites:

On April 21, researchers in the UK announced the discovery of the brightest planet 20.5 light-years away from Earth (190,000 billion km). This planet belongs to the famous Gliese 581 planetary system, belonging to the constellation Libra and is about twice the size of the Earth.

Also in April 2009, NASA published photos from the Cassini spacecraft when it operated around Saturn. The photos show an unprecedented view of cosmic circles as Cassini moves into the dark areas of the planet. As the light passes through the circles, they show a beautiful reflection of Saturn's surface.

Saturn has more than 60 moons and many small 'moons' without a circle. On the picture is Saturn's Rhea moon, passing in front of the planet's largest moon, Titan. According to Cassini, Titan has many similarities with the Earth in terms of surface and weather elements.

This picture was taken when Cassini approached the Staret moon of Lapetus with a wide-angle camera at a distance of nearly 4,000 km.

The small, worn-out Epimetheus moon in front of the Star A and F circles, covered Titan, another Saturn moon. The colors in this photo have been processed to help the human eye see the image.

The Hubble telescope "visited" Saturn in 2008, and captured the image of the four moons of Saturn as they passed through their "mother" planet. In this rare moment, Titan moon covered the vast majority of Saturn's north pole.

Planet HD 189733b, the same size as Jupiter, the environment is too hot for life to exist. However, Hubble found evidence that basic chemicals (CO2) for life existed here.

Hubble caught the moment when hundreds of thousands of stars moved in the M13 spherical cluster, like snowflakes curled up in the wind. This cluster of twinkling stars is easily visible even in the winter when viewers look towards the constellation Hercules.

Astronomers have long sought an explanation for why a small, lonely galaxy produces more new stars faster than any other 'neighbor' galaxy. Now Hubble has helped them solve the mystery of the galaxy NGC 1569, by detecting the true distance of this galaxy beyond the distance they thought 1.5 times.

This is an image of two interacting galaxies, Arp 147, located in the constellation Cetus, 400 million light-years from Earth. Interestingly, two constellations constitute figure 10.

This picture is Hubble's discovery of the rare alignment of two spiral galaxies. From underground telescope tubes, the two galaxies look like a drop of water.

Collisions of Hubble telescope clusters and Chandra observatory records. On the photo is the collision of the galaxy cluster MACS J0025.4-1222, which separates the dark part into beautiful colors.

Astronomers used Hubble to identify more than 11,000 star clusters in the universe, including those with the highest 'life expectancy'. The photo above captures images of four members of the Virgo galaxy cluster. Consisting of 2,000 galaxies, Virgo is the closest cluster of galaxies to the Earth, 54 million light-years away.

On July 15, 1997, Cassini probe, named after Italian astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini, was launched into space. This is the project of three aviation agencies NASA / ESA / ASI. On July 1, 2004, Cassini probes began to move around Saturn and gather information about the planet.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, bearing the name of American astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble (1889-1953), has been studied since the 1970s, but it was not until 1990 that space was taken up and operated on the fund. about 610 km from the Earth. According to NASA's plan, the Hubble glass will be deactivated in 2010. Replace it with the James Webb space telescope.
