Hubble Space Telescope snaps special Jupiter image; NASA releases stunning photo

[ad_1] It may be quite old and the technology on it may resemble something ancient, but Hubble Space Telescope keeps giving, year in and year out even though it has been replaced by its extremely young heir, the James Webb Space Telescope. And now, the never-say-die-spirit of the Hubble Telescope has generated another awesome gift for humanity - a stupendous image of Jupiter. The ultraviolet-observing capabilities of this telescope have now allowed astronomers to study the short, high-energy wavelengths of light that we humans can not see with our naked eyes. This image of Jupiter has been released by NASA.Ultraviolet view of JupiterThe recent image of Jupiter released by NASA has been captured a color composite of ultraviolet wavelengths in a color composite of Ultraviolet wavelengths....
