Hubble Celebrates its 29th Birthday!

Hubblecast 119 | On April 18, 2019, Hubble celebrated its 29th year in space. For this anniversary, NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) dedicated a small amount of its precious observation time to take a look at the beautiful Southern Crab Nebula. This beautiful nebula is created by the ejected material of a red giant, which is in close interaction with a white dwarf star.
