What Picture Did NASA Take On My Birthday? How To Find Your Hubble Photo
NASA's Hubble telescope has captured thousands of space photos over the years, and thanks to a handy tool on NASA's website, you can easily see what picture it took on your birthday. The universe is a place of neverending wonder. It's filled with jaw-dropping galaxies, alien planets, endless stars, powerful black holes, and so much more. Humans have learned a great deal about outer space in a relatively short amount of time, but even so, there's always something new for us to learn about.
One tool that's been instrumental in this exploration is Hubble. Created by NASA and the ESA, Hubble launched in April 1990 as the most advanced space telescope of its time. Over 30 years later, it's still hugely important! Hubble's helped astronomers calculate the age of the universe and how quickly it's expanding, get a better understanding of our own Solar System, and capture incredible photos of things millions of light-years away from Earth.
