On May 20, 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope sent its first image to Earth. This photo turned out to be 50% sharper than images from ground-based telescopes. In August of that year, Hubble made one of its first discoveries, capturing a glowing 1.3 light-years diameter elliptical ring of gas around the center of the explosion of supernova 1987A on the outskirts of the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud. These were just the first of thousands of miracles that the space telescope has shown mankind in 30 years. And how many of them the successor of “Hubble“ - “James Webb“ - NASA's largest and most powerful telescope worth 10 billion dollars will be able to show! “The James Webb Space Telescope is an unprecedented mission that is on the verge of seeing the light of the first galaxies and unlocking the mysteries of our universe,” says NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. The first pictures from the Hubble successor are already here! What did the new space telescope see in deep
