Thanks to the Astropy API and Handmer’s work, this image gives an idea of what Hubble has been looking at for the last three decades. Hubble Space Telescope image released Februof the so-called 'ant nebula' reveals the 'ants' body as a pair of fiery lobes protruding. But it was quite cool to be able to see familiar features emerge, like seeing an old friend after a long absence.” “When I first saw the data I was mostly preoccupied with making it presentable, rather than a random noisy mess of pixels. As the famous telescope turns 25, scientists who have worked on the project chose their favorite pictures. It would be neat, for example, to be able to image exoplanets,” Handmer tells PetaPixel. Top 10 Images Taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. The images are a blend of ultraviolet light and visible light from Hubbles Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys. “I was originally running the numbers on angular resolution versus wavelength versus period for all sky surveys, trying to understand how close our present state of knowledge is to ultimate physical limits. NGC 3627, part of the Hubble Space Telescopes Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey (LEGUS), the sharpest, most comprehensive ultraviolet-light survey of star-forming galaxies in the nearby universe. Universe Today explains that the other larger clusters are other nearby galaxies, and the disk of the Milky Way is the U-shaped curve through the middle. The clusters of observations near the bottom left represent the Magellanic clouds, two small galaxies that are near the Milky Way. The curved “line” of observations through the center of the image represents Hubble’s numerous and repeated observations of planets, moons, and asteroids in the Solar System. The image Handmer generated uses data from Astropy.

Handmer tells Universe Today that the Vera Rubin Observatory which is designed to image the entire sky can do so in a week. That, and Hubble’s field of view is quite narrow compared to telescopes that are designed to image the whole sky. He says that some observations take longer than others and that, combined with repeated observations of the more interesting areas of the sky, is why despite its huge number of total observations, a vast majority of the universe still remains unexplored through its cameras.
