2
00:00:14,919 --> 00:00:12,520
the Hubble Space Telescope has given us

3
00:00:18,370 --> 00:00:14,929
an incredible image for its 30th

4
00:00:21,159 --> 00:00:18,380
birthday this image reveals a beautiful

5
00:00:23,850 --> 00:00:21,169
nursery for new stars in a nearby

6
00:00:26,890 --> 00:00:23,860
satellite galaxy to our own Milky Way

7
00:00:28,990 --> 00:00:26,900
the bright newly formed stars in the

8
00:00:32,710 --> 00:00:29,000
middle of this image are at least 10

9
00:00:35,140 --> 00:00:32,720
times more massive than our Sun powerful

10
00:00:37,930 --> 00:00:35,150
radiation from these stars is causing

11
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:37,940
the surrounding gas to glow in stunning

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:41,570
colors the blue indicates oxygen gas

13
00:00:46,509 --> 00:00:43,970
heated to nearly 20,000 degrees

14
00:00:49,539 --> 00:00:46,519
Fahrenheit the red indicates the

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:49,549
presence of nitrogen and hydrogen those

16
00:00:54,490 --> 00:00:52,250
massive stars are also driving powerful

17
00:00:56,619 --> 00:00:54,500
winds of charged particles which are

18
00:00:59,429 --> 00:00:56,629
sculpting out the bubble and ridged

19
00:01:02,710 --> 00:00:59,439
structures we can see across the nebula

20
00:01:05,649 --> 00:01:02,720
the blue nebula at the lower left of the

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:05,659
image is actually material ejected from

22
00:01:10,990 --> 00:01:08,930
a single huge star in the center that

23
00:01:14,020 --> 00:01:11,000
star is two hundred thousand times

24
00:01:17,530 --> 00:01:14,030
brighter than our Sun the whole region

25
00:01:20,020 --> 00:01:17,540
shows how dynamic our universe is with

26
00:01:22,210 --> 00:01:20,030
stars continuing to form and affect

27
00:01:24,910 --> 00:01:22,220
their surroundings and it's Hubble's

28
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:24,920
exquisite vision from its orbit above

29
00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:27,530
Earth's atmosphere that gives us the

30
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:29,840
ability to get a clearer glimpse of this

31
00:01:36,970 --> 00:01:32,510
kind of incredible beauty and activity

32
00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:36,980
the Hubble Space Telescope has changed

33
00:01:42,370 --> 00:01:39,680
the way we think of space and our place

34
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:42,380
in the universe Hubble has refined our

35
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:44,330
understanding of the age of the universe

36
00:01:50,469 --> 00:01:47,930
and its rate of expansion and through

37
00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:50,479
its deep feels it has peered across

38
00:01:55,420 --> 00:01:52,640
billions of light-years to reveal

39
00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:55,430
ancient adolescent galaxies we can

40
00:02:00,850 --> 00:01:58,610
compare with our own Milky Way it has

41
00:02:03,430 --> 00:02:00,860
shown us the telltale effects of

42
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:03,440
mysterious dark energy and dark matter

43
00:02:09,219 --> 00:02:07,010
and it has given us a front-row seat to

44
00:02:11,530 --> 00:02:09,229
these beautiful interstellar clouds and

45
00:02:13,930 --> 00:02:11,540
nebulas where new stars and their

46
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:13,940
surrounding discs of dust and planets

47
00:02:18,220 --> 00:02:15,530
continue to form

48
00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:18,230
Hubble is an excellent technical health

49
00:02:22,540 --> 00:02:20,209
and is expected to continue its

50
00:02:24,030 --> 00:02:22,550
exploration of the universe for quite a

51
00:02:26,890 --> 00:02:24,040
few years to come

52
00:02:28,540 --> 00:02:26,900
multiple astronaut missions to service

53
00:02:30,910 --> 00:02:28,550
the Hubble Space Telescope over the

54
00:02:34,030 --> 00:02:30,920
years have kept Hubble at the forefront

55
00:02:36,510 --> 00:02:34,040
of capability with each servicing

56
00:02:38,979 --> 00:02:36,520
mission astronauts repaired or replaced

57
00:02:41,650 --> 00:02:38,989
instrumentation keeping Hubble better

58
00:02:44,290 --> 00:02:41,660
than ever before the final servicing

59
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:44,300
mission in 2009 was extremely successful

60
00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:46,970
so that even today Hubble is more

61
00:02:52,030 --> 00:02:48,800
scientifically powerful and productive

62
00:02:54,310 --> 00:02:52,040
than ever before you can find out more

63
00:02:57,580 --> 00:02:54,320
