The latest Hubble image captures a mind-blowing star cluster found in the Sagittarius constellation and proves it still has plenty of life.
from the Hubble space telescope includes a mind-blowing star cluster unlike anything we’ve ever seen. The cluster in question is NGC 6638, a cluster contained within the constellation Sagittarius.The new image was captured using Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 and the Advanced Camera for Surveys. Before Hubble was created, it was almost impossible to make out the individual stars in the cluster. That’s because the cluster contains such a dense number of stars.
Normally, when looking at these dense clusters from Earth, you’d have to look through the atmosphere. This can make it difficult to see the finer details of stars within the cluster. However, Hubble orbits Earth around 340 miles above the surface. As a result, it doesn’t have to look through the haze of most the atmosphere. The telescope may be more than 30 years old, but it can still capture images.Another cluster of stars that Hubble captured during its observations. Image source: ESA/Hubble & NASA, H. Ebeling / Acknowledgement: L. ShatzAgain, it doesn’t have as much detail as. But, it doesn’t need to compete with James Webb. They’re both designed to look at things differently.
NASA and the ESA, who co-manage Hubble, dropped this latest image at the start of August. As James Webb and Hubble continue to observe the universe, we’ll undoubtedly see even more amazing photographs from the two. Astronomers plan to continue using Hubble in conjunction with James Webb to capture great data like this and discover more about our universe’s origins.
Perhaps in the future, we’ll get an even more mind-blowing look at this Hubble star cluster image when James Webb revisits this location sometime in the future.
