Can we talk about how epic the Hubble is as a telescope? the JWST is phenomal. But really, without the Hubble, Webb wouldn’t even know where to look.
here’s to you, ya giant tin can in space. i’m sorry for replacing my desktop with one from the JWST…
It really is. The Hubble Ultra Deep Field is the most incredible image.
I mean, I fully expect JWST to be as pivotal as Hubble- but Hubble set the bar and its still going higher.
Probably the most exciting part of this is that with the JWST active, it frees up more time on the Hubble, so you might start to get some more “side projects” get time on the Hubble.
though. my favorite pictures?
Eta Carinae and the Butterfly Nebula
I’ve never seen Eta Carinae before. It’s stunning! It really is an incredible work of engineering.
Hubble helped us understand what and where, the way that JWST is now helping us understand when and how. Its findings on the beginning and expansion of the universe are incredible, and I think it’ll only get more interesting.
it’s amazing that the Hubble has made over 1.6 million observations of 30 years. Some quick math says that, with no breaks, that’s 140 or so observations a day.
My boss is wondering why I’m so unproductive…
Love that.
It’s even more impressive when you consider the long shutter speed and number of images needed for a composite of most of those observations.
pauses science
Physics stop working
I hate when science is paused.
Guess I’m not walking to the store right now.
That better not be a hypothesis.
Brb, I’m gonna go try and fly off my building. This’ll be so exciting!!!
Rebuffering
Hubble wwizzzarrrrd
not my telescope slaw!
