In 2003, the Hubble Space Telescope took the
image of a millenium, an image that shows our
place in the universe. Anyone who understands
what this image represents, is forever
changed by it. Tags :astronomyspacecosmologyhubbletelescopesuniverse
This is the latest incarnation of the HDF
video. The narration has been edited to
include research from a paper in Physical
Review Letters (2004) which puts the size of
the universe at 46.5 billion light years, not
78 billion as I originally stated.
In the video narration, I round that value up
to 47 billion light years.
I also took out Numa Numa guy. Tags :astronomyspacecosmologyhubbletelescopesuniverse

From its low orbit just 600 km (373 mi) above
Earth's surface, the Hubble Space Telescope
is able to observe the universe with
incredible clarity. Free from the
atmosphere's turbulent air that blurs
incoming light and absorbs infrared and
ultraviolet wavelengths, Hubble has taken
over 400,000 observations and provided data
for thousands of scientific papers.
Since its launch in 1990, Hubble — the only
space telescope to gather data in visible,
infrared, and ultraviolet wavelengths — has
offered a unique and detailed view of the
universe. One of the most striking images
produced by the telescope was the Hubble Deep
Field (HDF). At the time of its release in
1996, HDF was the deepest optical view of the
universe, showing the farthest and youngest
galaxies ever to be seen. The image was taken
of a tiny portion of sky and displays over
1,500 galaxies with a wide range of shapes
and sizes. Tags :HubbleTelescopeDeepspaceKenthovindkenhamm
An international team of astronomers using
the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has
discovered a ghostly ring of dark matter
formed long ago during a colossal collision
between two galaxy clusters. This is the
first time that dark matter has been found
with a distribution that differs
substantially from the distribution of
ordinary matter. Read more at:

This is an edited version of Part 4 from the
Hubble series. A small cut from the
beginning and 2 minutes off the end are
missing. However, for the most part, this
video is worth watching. If you would like
to have the full version, please visit
spacetelescope.org and search the video
archives. Tags :HubbleSpaceTelescopeGalaxyStarsESANASANebulaCronoslogic
