This video takes the viewer on a journey to the 34th anniversary image of the launch of the legendary NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope: the Little Dumbbell Nebula (also known as Messier 76, M76, or NGC 650/651). The object is located 3,400 light-years away in the northern circumpolar constellation Perseus. This photogenic nebula is a favorite target of amateur astronomers.
