Hubble Space Telescopes 100, 000th image

Hubble Space Telescopes 100, 000th image. Hubble Space Telescope image showing a quasar, a new galaxy and foreground objects. The quasar is at centre, and is about 9 billion light years from Earth. The faint blob just above this is a previously-unknown elliptical galaxy, some 7 billion years from Earth. The galaxy in upper centre is much closer, and the bright foreground star to the left of centre is in our own galaxy. This was the 100, 000th image made using the Hubble Space Telescope. This milestone was passed on 22 June 1996 in the telescopes sixth year of operation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable achievement of the Hubble Space Telescope, capturing its 100,000th image. The image reveals a mesmerizing celestial scene featuring various cosmic entities. At the center of this awe-inspiring composition lies a quasar, an incredibly distant object located approximately 9 billion light years away from Earth. Just above it, we encounter a previously-unknown elliptical galaxy that exists some 7 billion light years away. As our gaze drifts towards the upper center of the photograph, another galaxy comes into view. This particular galaxy is much closer to us than its counterparts in this cosmic tableau. Finally, on the left side of the frame, we are greeted by a bright foreground star belonging to our very own Milky Way galaxy. Taken on June 22nd, 1996 during Hubble's sixth year in operation, this milestone image symbolizes humanity's insatiable curiosity about our universe and our relentless pursuit to unravel its mysteries. With each click of Hubble's shutter button, scientists and astronomers gain deeper insights into cosmology and expand our understanding of space. This extraordinary snapshot was made possible by Science Photo Library - not just a company but an invaluable resource for scientific imagery - specializing in providing breathtaking visuals that ignite wonder and inspire exploration within fields like astronomy and beyond.
