00:00So to celebrate Hubble's 35th birthday, we're releasing four new images from Hubble.
00:06There are different parts of the universe. One of them is the Rosette Nebula, or a part of it,
00:12where stars are still forming. And you can see dark clouds and then lit up clouds behind those
00:18where new stars are ionizing the gas and showing off this glow. We also are releasing an image of
00:26a planetary nebula. Now this colorful nebula really has nothing to do with planets. That's just what
00:32they called it decades ago. But it is really the remnants of a dead star system. And the outflows
00:41from the remaining white dwarf star are creating this glowing cloud that's expanding away from the
00:48central sources there. We have an image from outside of our galaxy of another galaxy. This is
00:55a spiral galaxy. It doesn't look quite like we think our Milky Way does because the spiral arms
01:01are kind of smudged together. We call it a flocculent spiral. But in the middle, you see this amazing
01:08bar-like structure. These are common in some types of spiral galaxies, and they are the mechanism by
01:15which gas and dust from the outer parts of the galaxy are funneled in toward the middle and can
01:20fuel the formation of new stars. We think our Milky Way also has some kind of a bar in the center.
01:26And then much closer to home in our own solar system, we've taken new pictures of Mars. These
01:33really wonderful clear shots of Mars show different features on the planet from different perspectives.
01:40As Mars is rotating, we see the icy poles on the top. We see clouds. And we can also see mountain ranges
01:49in deep canyons and plane structures. Mars is an interesting planet to study both for what it's
01:56doing now, but for what it was like in the past. This eye on the sky has given people around the world
02:03a new view of the universe, how vast it is, how beautiful it is, and how active it is, and how we are
02:11all fellow citizens of planet Earth just looking up in awe and wonder at what we're discovering because of this
02:18wonderful miracle of technology. We're using Hubble in new exciting ways because Hubble sees wavelengths
02:25or colors of light that other observatories don't see and vice versa. So we use them in complement.
02:33Scientists are using Hubble's ultraviolet light capabilities to see this energetic light that
02:38comes from star forming regions and also explosive events out in the universe from energetic stars.
02:44We're using Hubble to complement the infrared light observations that the newer Webb Space Telescope
02:52can do. Webb can see deep into the universe some of the earliest galaxies. Hubble sees nearer galaxies in
02:59all the detail, seeing its hot spots of star formation. With this information together, scientists are piecing
03:06together how galaxies have grown and merged and changed over all of cosmic history.
03:36Hubble's outside of the universe is a שלco. Webb can be found in the universe of Hubble's
