This is the largest observing program ever undertaken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, which will be used to look at over 300 stars. Ultraviolet (UV) light from the target stars will be used to produce a library of the spectral fingerprints of young, low-mass stars from eight star-forming regions in the Milky Way, as well as fully mature high-mass stars in several nearby dwarf galaxies including the Magellanic Clouds.For more information, visit https://nasa.gov/hubble.Music Credits:\"Red Giant\" by Christian Tschuggnall [AKM] and Michael Edwards [APRA] via Atmosphere Music Ltd [PRS] and Universal Production Music || ", "release_date": "2020-11-05T09:55:00-05:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:44:31.597801-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 381768, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a013700/a013742/13742_ULLYSES_WIDE_PRINT.jpg", "filename": "13742_ULLYSES_WIDE_PRINT.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Master VersionHorizontal version.
