The Hubble Space Telescope is a robotic telescope
located on the outer edge of the atmosphere, in
circular orbit around the Earth at 593 km above
sea level, with an orbital period between 96 and
97 minutes at a speed 28,000 km / h. Named as a
tribute to Edwin Hubble, was launched into orbit
on 24 April 1990 as a joint project of NASA and
ESA, thus inaugurating the Great Observatories
program. Cylindrically shaped Hubble weighs 11
tons. Its length is 13.2 m and its maximum
diameter is 4.2 meters. The telescope can obtain
images with higher optical resolution 0.1
seconds of arc.

First we see the Galaxy Hat, also called M 104 in
the Messier catalog, distance of about 28 million
light-years it is considered the best photograph
taken by Hubble
8
Now the famous nebula MZ3, called Fourmi, between
3000 and 6000 light years

Third is the Eskimo Nebula NGC 2392 located 5000
light years

Fourth, we can recognize the impressive Nebula
Cat's Eye
11
Fifth, here is the Hourglass Nebula located 8000
light years away, a beautiful nebula with a
narrowing in its central part.
12
In sixth place we see the Cone Nebula, 2.5
light-years
13
Seventh, we find a fragment of the Swan Nebula,
located at 5500 light years away, described as "a
bubbling ocean of hydrogen with small amounts of
oxygen, sulfur and other elements"
14
Eighth, a beautiful picture called "Starry Night"
15
In ninth place, two swirling galaxies, the NGC
2207 and IC 2163 located 114 million light-years.
16
Tenth, we see a fragment of the Trifid Nebula, a
stellar cradle to 9000 light-years.

The words are useless when we are confronted with
such monuments of light and color. We can meet
with the Eagle Nebula or M16 in the constellation
Serpens is a window in the middle of the starry
night. On the inside, clusters of young stars are
in the process of creation, creating a wonderful
spectacle of gaseous emissions.
