Hubble Space Telescope Shares Brightest Star On Its 31st Birthday

This year marks the 31st anniversary of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Earlier this week, the telescope published a snapshot of one of the galaxy's brightest stars to mark the occasion. It's also on Twitter.

AG Carinae is the star visible in the officially released photo. According to the American space agency, the star AG Carinae has one of the greatest uniquenesses in the cluster.

Furthermore, NASA has frequently been posting beautiful images captured by the telescope on its social media sites. FirstPost, citing the space agency,said the Hubble Space Telescope can see objects as small as a "pair of fireflies in Tokyo that are less than 10 feet apart" from Washington.

The Hubble Space Telescope was launched for the first time in 1990, thanks to a collaboration between the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA. It was the world's first large telescope to be sent into space, and it has been circling the Earth since then.

The telescope does not travel around the galaxy on its own, CTV News said. Instead, it travels at a speed of about 27,400 kilometers per hour around the Earth, allowing it to peer deep into space from above the cloud layer.

According to NASA, the Hubble Space Telescope, named for American astronomer Edwin P. Hubble, is the size of two "full-grown African elephants" and weighs as much as a large school bus.
