What are some images that have been transmitted by Hubble?
Some of Hubble’s most famous images are from the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, which has peered at the most distant galaxies ever observed. This image zooms in on a patch of the sky that contains about 10,000 galaxies that lie up to 10 billion light-years away from Earth.
What are some of the most spectacular images that Hubble has produced?

What is the most beautiful galaxy in space?
NGC 2336 is the quintessential galaxy — big, beautiful, and blue — and it is captured here by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
Why is space silent?
In space, no one can hear you scream. This is because there is no air in space – it is a vacuum. Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum. ‘Outer space’ begins about 100 km above the Earth, where the shell of air around our planet disappears.
Is it always dark on the moon?
In reality it is no darker than any other part of the Moon’s surface as sunlight does in fact fall equally on all sides of the Moon. It is only ‘dark’ to us, as that hemisphere can never be viewed from Earth due to a phenomenon known as ‘Tidal Locking’.
What would a black hole do to Earth?
If a black hole were to form from the Earth itself, it would create an event horizon just 1.7 centimeters in diameter. Eventually, some time later, any object at rest — no matter how far away from the event horizon it initially was — will cross that horizon and encounter the central singularity.
