Top 20 pictures taken from the Hubble Space Telescope. Black holes, colliding galaxies, comets, moons, star birth, quasars, asteroids maps, planetary systems and galaxies more than 13 billion light years, are part of the observed from the Hubble at 18.
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST by the acronym in English) is a robotic telescope located at the outer edges of the atmosphere, in a circular orbit around the Earth at 593 km above sea level, with an orbital period between 96 and 97 min. Thus named in honor of Edwin Hubble , was launched on April 24, 1990 as a joint project of NASA and ESA inaugurating the Great Observatories program. The advantage of having a telescope above the atmosphere is that it can eliminate the effects of atmospheric turbulence, being unable to obtain further information from light.

galaxy M74
[ image detail ]
The new Hubble image of the galaxy M74 we can also see bright pink sections in the regions decorating the spiral arms. The arms are are huge, relatively short-lived, and the clouds of glowing hydrogen gas due to strong heat radiation from young stars embedded within the arms, represents the bright pink regions of ionized hydrogen (hydrogen that has lost its electrons). These regions of star formation show an excess of light at ultraviolet wavelengths and astronomers call HII regions.

star clusters
stars forming region NGC 3603, seen here, contains one of the most impressive massive young star clusters in the Milky Way. Bathed in gas and dust formed group is growing fast does a million years ago. The extremely hot blue stars in the center, are responsible for carving a huge cavity in the gas seen to the right of the cluster NGC 3603.

massive star birth
[ image detail ] view of the Carina Nebula, which shows starlight to a new level of detail. The beautiful landscape of the nebula is sculpted by the action of winds and ultraviolet radiation product of power of the stars that inhabit this inferno. In the process, the crushed material of star-like track and tag-revolves around the stars that were born.
The immense nebula is estimated to encuantra to 7500 light years away in the southern constellation Carina the Keel (of the old southern constellation Argo Navis, the ship of Jason and the Argonauts, mythology Greek).
This image is a mosaic of the Carina Nebula assembled from 48 frames taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys of opinion. Were taken in the light of ionized hydrogen. Color information was added with data taken at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. Red corresponds to sulfur, green to hydrogen, and blue to oxygen emission.

Stellar Nursery in the arms of NGC 1672
[ image detail ] barred spiral galaxy NGC 1672, there are groups of young stars and hot blue stars along its spiral arms, and clouds hydrogen gas glowing in red. Delicate curtains of dust partially obscure and the light from stars behind them. NGC 1672's symmetric look is highlighted by the four major weapons, striking the edge of the dust lanes that extend away from the center.

disk galaxy NGC 5866
[ image detail ] view of the disk galaxy NGC 5866 tilted nearly edge to our line of sight. Hubble view reveals a crisp dust lane dividing the galaxy into two halves. The image highlights the estgructura of the galaxy: a thin bright red bump around a nucleus, a blue disk of stars running parallel to the track of dust, and a transparent outer halo.
Some trails of dust and some meandering away from the disk of the galaxy can be observed. The outer halo is dotted with numerous groups gravitational ruling nearly a million stars, known as globular clusters.

Galaxies making love
[ image detail ] This Hubble image of the Antennae galaxies is the merger of two galaxies. When two galaxies merge, born billions of stars, mostly in groups and clusters of stars. The brightest and most compact of these are called super star clusters.

About dust clouds in the Milky Way
[ image detail ] Hubble Space Telescope has photographed dense knots of clouds dust and gas in our Milky Way Galaxy. This cosmic dust, however, is not a nuisance. It is a concentration of elements that are responsible for the formation of stars in our galaxy and throughout the universe.
These opaque knots of gas and dust called Bok globules, and are absorbing light in the center of the nebula closer. The globules are named after astronomer Bart Bok, who proposed its existence in 1940.

Starburst Galaxy, Messier 82
[ image detail ] This mosaic of images the magnificent starburst galaxy, Messier 82 (M82) is a wide-angle point ever achieved. It is a remarkable galaxy through their networks of shredded clouds and resplenador-like plumes, bright explosions of hydrogen from its central regions where young stars are born 10 times faster than our Milky Way Galaxy.

Pinwheel Galaxy
[ image detail ] This new Hubble image reveals the gigantic Pinwheel Galaxy, one of the best known examples of "large loop project, and its region of formation of giant stars in detail. The image is the largest and most detailed photo of a spiral galaxy taken with Hubble.

Orion Nebula
[ image detail ] This dramatic image offers a peek inside a cavern of gas and dust where thousands of stars are forming. More than 3000 stars of various sizes appear in this picture. Some of them had never been seen. The Orion Nebula is a picture book of star formation.
The Orion Nebula is 1500 light years away, is the closest star formation to Earth. Astronomers used 520 images, taken in five colors, to make this picture. He also added ground-based photos to fill in the nebula. The ACS mosaic covers approximately the apparent angular size of the full moon. Taken between 2004 and 2005.
