Gazing at Hubble’s cosmic snapshots—each galaxy a quantum ripple in spacetime, their positions whispering the universe’s entangled dance. Even from 2D images, we sense the depth: light-years folded into pixels. 🌌✨ #Hubble35
Hubble turns 35! Celebrate with NASA's stunning new cosmic images and join the Night Sky Challenge to observe the universe like never before. #Hubble35 #SpaceExploration #Astronomy
L'ammasso globulare M72 è apparso nella primissima Immagine della Settimana di ESA/Hubble pubblicata il 22 aprile 2010. Nel corso degli anni, la serie ha accumulato quasi 800 immagini 😍🤩.

L'ammasso globulare M72 è uno tra i più recenti oggetti rivisitati da #Hubble in occasione dell'avvicinarsi del 35° anniversario di questo incredibile telescopio spaziale.
#Hubble35
A cluster of many thousands of bright stars. In the centre most of the stars are blue, while this centre is surrounded by a thick shell of yellower stars, seen in differing sizes according to their position in the spherical star cluster. They spread out beyond the edges of the image, becoming smaller and more sparse only at the corners. A distant spiral galaxy is also visible in the very corner.
The globular cluster M72 is the latest object revisited ahead of the #Hubble35 anniversary!
M72 featured in the very first ESA/Hubble Picture of the Week published on 22 April 2010. Over time, the series accumulated nearly 800 images.

For 35 years, Hubble has captured the unseen: light beyond our eyes and galaxies beyond imagination. From ultraviolet to near-infrared, its lens has stretched across time and space, delivering over 1.5 million cosmic glimpses. ✨📡 #Hubble35
35 лет на орбите: Hubble и путь человечества к звёздам

#Hubble turns 35! In its lifetime, it’s captured over 1.5 million observations, led to 20,000+ scientific papers, and reshaped how we see the cosmos. It showed us galaxies born, stars dying, and our place in an expanding universe. Sadly this may be its last year in orbit. 🧪🔭 #Hubble35 #SpaceHeritage
35 years ago we opened our eyes to the cosmos. The Hubble Space Telescope didn’t just take pictures—it revealed the universe’s story, written in starlight. A celebration of curiosity, courage, and cosmic connection. Here’s to the telescope that helped us find our place among the stars. #Hubble35

Here is the NASA press release with the three snapshots➡️ hubblesite.org/contents/new...
The image, in the first post of this thread, is the second one among the three snapshots, which were taken over a 1.8-hour time span.

This Hubble image shows the moon Io passing above Jupiter's clouds. The black spot on the gas giant is Io's shadow.

Continuing to celebrate Hubble's 35th anniversary, I share this captivating image of Jupiter and its volcanic moon Io.
It was released on 20 April 1999, together with others two, to commemorate the 9th anniversary of the launch.

Close-in photo of a white mug filled with coffee. The mug has a decal reading "Hubble 25," with an icon of the Hubble Space Telescope.
It's a day early (Hubble's birthday is April 25, 1990), but it's still a good day to celebrate Ole Aluminumsides. This mug is already 10 years old! Hubble had three servicing missions at that age. #Hubble35 #Hubble25 #HubbleSpaceTelescope #ScienceMugs
🎉 Happy 35th Birthday Hubble Space Telescope 🎉
Today at the Centre we're hosting a special #Hubble35 event with hands-on demos, engaging talks with experts @leighfletcher.bsky.social, @jnic.bsky.social and @revjb.bsky.social, and fun craft sessions.
Let's have a closer look at the Hubble story 🧵
I watched Hubble launch when I was 9 🤩 It was AMAZING and exciting. So happy it still works.
Hubble Celebrates 35 Years by Gifting Us 4 Breathtaking Cosmic Images. Via @sciencealert #Hubble35 #SpaceThreads #Astrophysics #OrbitalMechanics 🚀 🌌 ☄️ 🛰️

Buon anniversario, Hubble! 🎂
Festeggiamo i 35 anni dal lancio in orbita di @Hubble_space

Two views of planet Mars on a black background of space observed by the Hubble Space Telescope. At left, text: December 28, 2024 20:00 UT. At right, text: December 29, 2024 13:18 UT. In both images, its atmosphere is clear and the surface appears detailed. Most of the planet is shades of orange. At left, the brightest orange area appears in the left half. At right, the brightest orange area is centered and takes on the rough shape of a sleeping mask. In both views, darker surface features are noticeable on the lower half of the planet. These have a mix of orange, blue, and gray hues. At the top and bottom, white regions mark the planet’s polar caps. The entire limb of the planet, its visible edge, has a blue hue. The blue doesn’t form an even circle at the edges, and appears thinner toward the left and right, and thicker in some areas.
The planetary nebula NGC 2899 is shaped like a single macaroni noodle, with its edges pointed up, but its edge-on central torus is semi-transparent in the middle. The top and bottom edges are thick and orange. The center is semi-transparent blue and green. The wider central region looks roughly like a moth, also filled with semi-transparent blue and green. There are two pinpoint-like white stars with diffraction spikes toward the center. Immediately below them, slightly toward the right, is a smaller blue orb, a central star. The next layer of gas and dust is whiter, with some thicker pillars that look like they are rising up at bottom center. The colour fades into reds and purples, and then to orange.
A tiny portion of the Rosette Nebula. Very dark gray material shaped like a V extends from just below top left all the way down to the lower right corner and back up toward the top right. It looks like thick smoke that has billowed out irregularly, thicker along the line from top left to bottom right, and looser on the piece that goes toward the top right. Behind the dark gray on the left side, from the bottom left to top center, there is dust that looks like arced claw marks that appears in light orange and yellow. The background at top left is hazier and some blues are covered in semi-transparent orange wisps, which makes sections take on green hues. In the bottom right, the background is bluer. There are a few bright red and purple stars scattered along the right half, most toward the bottom. The largest star is at right-center, just at the edge. It is red and has four diffraction spikes.
Barred spiral galaxy NGC 5335 observed by the Hubble Space Telescope takes up the majority of the view. At its center is a milky yellow, flattened oval that extends bottom left to top. Within the oval is a bright central region that looks circular, with the very center the brightest. In the bright central region is what looks like a bar, extending from top left to bottom right. Around this is a thick swath of blue stars speckled with white regions. Multiple arms wrap up and around in a counterclockwise direction, becoming fainter the farther out they are. Both the white core and the spiral arms are intertwined with dark streaks of dust. The background of space is black. Thousands of distant galaxies in an array of colors are speckled throughout.
Happy anniversary, Hubble! 🎂
Celebrate 35 years since this NASA/ESA space telescope was launched into orbit with four anniversary images! They roam from the planet Mars to dramatic images of stellar birth and death to a neighbouring galaxy.
