The title says it all.

On the 18th anniversary of it’s launch, Space Telescope Hubble shared a large number of photos of galaxies that scientists have been watching.

To say that the photos are fantastic would be a tremendous understatement.

Take a look and see what I mean.

And on a side note,

Edwin Powell Hubble (November 20, 1889 – September 28, 1953) was an American astronomer. He profoundly changed astronomers’ understanding of the nature of the universe by demonstrating the existence of other galaxies besides the Milky Way. He also discovered that the degree of redshift observed in light coming from a galaxy increased in proportion to the distance of that galaxy from the Milky Way. This became known as Hubble’s law, and would help establish that the universe is expanding.
