More than we could have ever imagined…
Yesterday, Oct. 20, our OSIRIS-REx spacecraft descended to the surface of asteroid Bennu, touched down and attempted to capture a sample using a “Touch-And-Go,” or TAG, maneuver. Join us at 5 p.m. EDT for a live broadcast with the mission team, as they provide a recap of yesterday’s journey #ToBennuAndBack and reveal first images and videos of this historic event.
Each year, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope dedicates a small portion of its precious observing time to taking a special anniversary image, showcasing particularly beautiful and meaningful objects. These images continue to challenge scientists with exciting new surprises and to enthral the public with ever more evocative observations.
To celebrate Hubble’s 30th anniversary, let’s look back at the beauty and science behind each of the anniversary images unveiled as of 2005. In this video, we will also feature the very special 2020 Hubble Space Telescope 30th anniversary image.
