NASA has released over 50 celestial images captured by the Hubble telescope in honor of its 30th anniversary.
The stunning, never-before-seen images reveal breathtaking views of the galaxies, star clusters, and nebulae captured during NASA’s research. Naturally, they make for perfect wallpapers.
“These images have been taken by Hubble throughout its career and used for scientific research or for engineering tests, but NASA had not fully processed the images for public release until now,” NASA said in a blog post. The images were compiled by British amateur astronomer Sir Patrick Caldwell-Moore.
NASA also added that the space objects in the images are visible through normal telescopes, binoculars, and sometimes even the naked eye. The space agency included a basic star chart with instructions on the right equipment to use to view the objects in the sky.
