B-roll for Hubble's Dazzling New Caldwell Catalog Images Live Shot. New Images of Caldwell Objects. When asked about what the universe looks like, you probably think of Hubble images. The Hubble Space Telescope has inspired scientists and the public alike with its views of the universe for three decades. This year, Hubble celebrated its 30th anniversary, and NASA is marking the occasion by releasing a set of 30 new images from its archives.The sparkling new collection features images of star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies, from The Caldwell Catalog - a special catalog of the best celestial targets for amateur astronomers- including some that can be seen from your viewers’ backyard. With these images, Hubble continues to inspire the world to marvel at the beauty of our universe. NASA scientists are available virtually on Friday, December 11, from 6:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. EST to show your viewers these stunning new views of the cosmos, how they can spot some of these objects in the night sky, and what other dazzling sights to be on the lookout for in the December sky. Hubble has taken nearly 1.5 million observationsand counting over the last 30 years. The newly released images, which hadn’t been processed and released by NASA until now, highlights a collection of astronomical holiday gifts that can be viewed by amateur astronomers. All of these objects can be seen with a backyard telescope, some even with binoculars or the naked eye. In addition, our NASA scientists will call out some of the extra special sights in the wintry skies above us right now, including the Geminid meteor shower and an extremely rare meet-up of the planets Jupiter and Saturn.

Hubble has seen galaxies at the edge of the visible universe. It has unlocked a cosmos so vast and filled with wonder that it boggles the mind. The Hubble Telescope has learned how galaxies merge, and found the powerful jets from massive black-holes. It has uncovered the “dark energy” behind universal expansion and mapped the dark matter that connects galaxies. Through it all, it has revealed an intergalactic elegance that stretches across the universe.For more information, visit https://nasa.gov/hubble.Music Credits:“Silver Lining” by Bernhard Hering [GEMA] and Matthias Kruger [GEMA].

Astronomers have identified a black hole of an elusive class known as “intermediate-mass,” which betrayed its existence by tearing apart a wayward star that passed too close. This exciting discovery opens the door to the possibility of many more lurking undetected in the dark, waiting to be given away by a star passing too close.For more information about the Hubble Space Telescope and its images, visit: https://nasa.gov/hubbleMusic Credits:“Struck by the Beauty” by Emmanuel David Lipszyc [SACEM], Sébastien Lipszyc [SACEM], and Thomas Bloch [SACEM].
