The Hubble Space Telescope has provided an image of the so-called “reflection nebula”, which is about 1,350 light-years from Earth in the constellation Orion. Reflective nebulae can only be seen when illuminated from the inside, according to the European Space Agency’s blog about the image, in which case the star born provides this light.
The star, known as (V380 Orionis), acts as a lamp in a room filled with smoke, illuminating the clouds of gas and dust wrapped around it, which are the remaining materials from the formation of the star. In the center of the image is an inky black area that looks like a keyhole in a dark room.
According to the European Space Agency (ESA), when the Hubble telescope first captured this image in 1999, it was not clear whether the apparent keyhole was an actual hole through the nebula’s material, or a mass of particularly cold gas and dust.
Subsequent observations by the European Space Agency’s Herschel Space Observatory, a space telescope with more powerful optics than Hubble, confirmed that the keyhole is in fact a hole that provides a view of space on the other side of the nebula.
According to the European Space Agency, scientists have not yet understood the origin of the “keyhole” void in the nebula.
Although the new James Webb Space Telescope continues to amaze scientists and the public with new space images made possible by record-breaking powerful optics, the Hubble Telescope and other space observatories continue their missions, providing scientifically important and sometimes beautiful views of space.
Rather than replacing older space telescopes, the James Webb Telescope often works in tandem with them. Collaboration either provides alternative views of cosmic phenomena or allows scientists to create composite images to create a more complete picture of distant objects. According to what was published by the website (Sitcadilly).

The latest and most beautiful images of the Hubble telescope from space
To coincide with the start of the screening of the new Star Wars movie, the Hubble telescope has sent the most beautiful image of a “ray sword” from space, 1,300 light-years from Earth. And the picture shows the beginning of the formation of a new “star” system with some star dust, which did not affect the beauty and splendor of the picture.

The latest and most beautiful images of the Hubble telescope from space
The first images that Hubble sent to Earth were very poor and unusable, because the main mirror, which had a diameter of 2.4 meters, was not polished properly. In 1993, the spaceship “Indiafort” launched towards the telescope, which was installed new lenses similar to medical glasses, and the telescope needed five maintenance operations during its flight, and it is believed that the last maintenance was in May 2009.

Hubble will continue to work and send images to Earth for a few more years, but its trajectory is skewed downward and is expected to enter Earth’s atmosphere, burn up and fade away in 2024. But its successor, the “Jims Webb” telescope, is already being prepared and it is supposed to be launched in 2018 into space and will orbit on a path It is about 1.5 million km from Earth.
