00:00:10,610 --> 00:00:07,550
NASA is celebrating the Hubble Space

3
00:00:13,310 --> 00:00:10,620
telescope's 33rd birthday with an

4
00:00:17,210 --> 00:00:13,320
ethereal image of a nearby star-forming

5
00:00:20,390 --> 00:00:17,220
region NGC 1333

6
00:00:23,290 --> 00:00:20,400
located approximately 960 light years

7
00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:23,300
away in the Perseus Interstellar Cloud

8
00:00:28,870 --> 00:00:26,160
Hubble's colorful view unveils glowing

9
00:00:31,669 --> 00:00:28,880
gases and pitch black dust stirred up

10
00:00:34,069 --> 00:00:31,679
colliding and blown around by several

11
00:00:35,630 --> 00:00:34,079
hundred forming Stars within the Dark

12
00:00:38,209 --> 00:00:35,640
Cloud

13
00:00:40,430 --> 00:00:38,219
most of the star-birth Firestorm is

14
00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:40,440
hidden behind clouds of fine dust

15
00:00:44,990 --> 00:00:43,320
essentially soot that are thicker toward

16
00:00:47,450 --> 00:00:45,000
the bottom of the image

17
00:00:50,510 --> 00:00:47,460
the blackness in the image is not empty

18
00:00:53,330 --> 00:00:50,520
space but obscuring dust

19
00:00:55,250 --> 00:00:53,340
powerful Stellar winds likely from the

20
00:00:58,490 --> 00:00:55,260
bright blue star at the top of the photo

21
00:01:00,770 --> 00:00:58,500
are blowing through a veil of dust

22
00:01:03,229 --> 00:01:00,780
the fine dust scatters the blue

23
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:03,239
wavelengths of Starlight

24
00:01:08,330 --> 00:01:06,000
farther down another super hot star

25
00:01:09,350 --> 00:01:08,340
shines through filaments of obscuring

26
00:01:12,230 --> 00:01:09,360
dust

27
00:01:15,170 --> 00:01:12,240
a diagonal string of fainter nearby

28
00:01:17,570 --> 00:01:15,180
Stars looks reddish because dust is

29
00:01:19,789 --> 00:01:17,580
filtering Starlight so more of the red

30
00:01:22,190 --> 00:01:19,799
light gets through

31
00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:22,200
the bottom of the picture presents a

32
00:01:27,770 --> 00:01:25,439
peek deep into the dark nebula Hubble

33
00:01:28,910 --> 00:01:27,780
captures the reddish glow of ionized

34
00:01:31,850 --> 00:01:28,920
hydrogen

35
00:01:34,969 --> 00:01:31,860
it looks like a fireworks finale with

36
00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:34,979
several overlapping Cascades of light

37
00:01:40,010 --> 00:01:37,439
this is caused by Pencil Thin jets

38
00:01:42,350 --> 00:01:40,020
shooting out from newly forming stars

39
00:01:45,170 --> 00:01:42,360
that are hidden from View

40
00:01:48,109 --> 00:01:45,180
this Vista offers an example of the time

41
00:01:52,130 --> 00:01:48,119
when our sun and planets formed inside

42
00:01:54,410 --> 00:01:52,140
such a Dusty molecular gas cloud 4.6

43
00:01:58,130 --> 00:01:54,420
billion years ago

44
00:02:00,889 --> 00:01:58,140
our sun didn't form in isolation but was

45
00:02:03,889 --> 00:02:00,899
instead surrounded by other stars in a

46
00:02:06,350 --> 00:02:03,899
period of frantic Stellar birth perhaps

47
00:02:10,430 --> 00:02:06,360
even more energetic and massive than the

48
00:02:12,830 --> 00:02:10,440
action in NGC 1333

49
00:02:15,410 --> 00:02:12,840
because Hubble orbits above Earth's

50
00:02:17,449 --> 00:02:15,420
atmosphere it can give us these clear

51
00:02:18,589 --> 00:02:17,459
views of the many wonders in our

52
00:02:21,710 --> 00:02:18,599
universe

53
00:02:23,930 --> 00:02:21,720
for 33 years the Hubble Space Telescope

54
00:02:26,690 --> 00:02:23,940
has changed the way we think of space

55
00:02:29,330 --> 00:02:26,700
and our place in the cosmos

56
00:02:31,729 --> 00:02:29,340
Hubble has refined our understanding of

57
00:02:32,930 --> 00:02:31,739
the age of the universe and its rate of

58
00:02:35,570 --> 00:02:32,940
expansion

59
00:02:38,089 --> 00:02:35,580
its Deep Field images have made it

60
00:02:40,490 --> 00:02:38,099
possible for us to see across billions

61
00:02:43,130 --> 00:02:40,500
of light years revealing ancient

62
00:02:45,710 --> 00:02:43,140
adolescent galaxies that we can compare

63
00:02:48,110 --> 00:02:45,720
with our own Milky Way

64
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:48,120
closer to home Hubble Is revealing

65
00:02:53,449 --> 00:02:51,300
vibrant activity in our solar system and

66
00:02:55,910 --> 00:02:53,459
in other star and planetary systems

67
00:02:58,190 --> 00:02:55,920
across the Galaxy

68
00:03:00,530 --> 00:02:58,200
Hubble remains in good health and is

69
00:03:03,410 --> 00:03:00,540
expected to continue its exploration of

70
00:03:05,270 --> 00:03:03,420
the universe for years to come with

71
00:03:08,089 --> 00:03:05,280
unique capabilities that complement

72
00:03:11,030 --> 00:03:08,099
other telescopes like web

73
00:03:13,070 --> 00:03:11,040
five astronaut servicing missions along

74
00:03:15,470 --> 00:03:13,080
with an expert technical team on the

75
00:03:18,410 --> 00:03:15,480
ground have kept the telescope at the

76
00:03:20,210 --> 00:03:18,420
peak of its scientific capabilities you
