works 24 - 7,
the space telescope explores
the universe 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, that means it has observed some
fascinating cosmic wonder every day of the year, including on your birthday,
well as my 70th was just 2 days ago I had to have a look, so on the 14th April
it looked at this,
Galaxy ESO 99-4, which is a galaxy with a highly peculiar shape, it is
probably the remnant of an earlier merger process that has deformed it, leaving
the main body largely obscured by dark bands of dust, so if you want to see
what the Hubble was looking at n your birthday, just go to,
then
enter the month and date to find out what exactly the Hubble was looking at! photograph credit, NASA, ESA, the Hubble
